Outside the house ,I stood facing fetus ,looking at the boy who stole my first kiss,my mind drafted back to what happened that day but I quickly waved it out from my mind ...
"How are you coping now ..he asked
" am fine "I answer ,
He looked straight into my eye trying to find out if am lying or not ..without am getting any answer ,he took my hands ,"You can always count on me darling "he said ,I will always be here for you.
Those assuring words smoothed my trouble mind,I smiled and hugged him placing my head on his shoulder ,while he Placed his hand on my head,we stayed there like that for a while ,before I withdraw my self from him,looked at him and walked back into the house ,he stood there looking at me as I walked back into the house and he enter the taxi and drove off....
Everything happen so fast,weeks passed and it turn into months Since we moved into this new neighborhood,,,
Favour only came once to visit me and I never heard from her again
It was a sunny Sunday morning,my mum is in the kitchen trying to fixed breakfast for me and my brother ,I was in my room going through my social media handle (Facebook)"dong a message notification pop in,I open it and it a friend request from Emmanuel ,I accepted without going through the his profile ,I dropped my phone and went into the bathroom to washed and prepay for the Sunday religious service ...
My phone rings ,before I could get to where it is it had stop ringing ,and immediately it rings again,
" hello favour"
The scream of the phone made me to withdraw it from my ear,and place it in outer speaker
" hey miss,am going to the campus tomorrow"scream favour
I was shocked but could manage reply her "congratulations "
" hey aren't you happy with me" she asked sharply
" no am so happy with you ,I managed to reply
"Ok then Kim,I have to end the call,my mum is calling me to come try out some new outfits she bought for me "bye she said and she hung up
I stood there transfix,favour was supposed to be my friend but why did she hide something like this from me till the very day she will be leaving for the campus ,am I that of a bad luck to her that she can't tell me things....just them m message notifications pop up on my phone screen,I lick on it and it was from favour
"Hey miss, I know you are angry with me,but please is not what you think,I would have told you but decided not to disturb you with it,Snice you travelled for you dad burials,am sorry please no negative feelings,still your best friend favour❤️"
I felt relaxed and smiled back,I wish her well actually,if not for my dad death I will also be going to the university with her but now We can't even feed well not to talk about sponsoring me in university....
My mum called me to come take my food,I went into the kitchen,took my food and join them in the dining...
I ate my food absent minded,my mum notice me and asked me what that problem was
I told her fine but she knew me too well to know when am fine or not
I sighed and told her my friend favour is going to the campus tomorrow and I don't even know if I can be able to further my studies
She looked up at the Roof of the house as if calculating some thing and she said
" when the campus entry start you will write the exam"
I was shocked and asked her how we can be able to foot the bills,but she smiled and assure me that everything will be fine....
" what a hero for a mum" I said to myself
