It was a sunny Tuesday and I was rushing to get early to school. When I finally got to school I was looking for Victor but I couldn't find him. I was nervous until someone tapped me at the back and I turned to see Victor grinning at me. Gosh he looked soo damn handsome with his long black hair and his pointed nose. He was six feet tall and was above my eye level. He looked soo good while smiling. "Looking for someone " he said with a smile. I frowned my face saying "yeah who else will I be looking for if not you??". He smiled again then we walked together to the class room and everyone stared at us and murmured to themselves. I could hear someone whispering " Is Anna and Victor in a relationship ". Then I heard another voice saying "no I don't think he'll go for that freak". I just sighed and walked away.
It was a less busy day because the teachers were having a meeting in the administrative block. Victor tapped me and whispered in my ears "meet me at the cafeteria right now" and he left. I was nervous and followed suite. When I reached the cafeteria he dragged me close to himself and said "I want to say something to you" . I wondered what he wanted to say and just stood still waiting for him to talk. He sat me down and told me how much he cared about me and also said that he had feelings for me and will like to take the friendship to the next level. I was shocked to the bone marrow then,he asked me how I felt about him. Damn if, only he knew that I've been waiting for this day to finally come. I answered " umm Victor I like you too but…umm I feel we don't need to rush things this period " I could see he was sad from his facial expression but he just said "ok anytime you're ready I'd still be here for you".
I was hurt but, I felt it was kinda early for a relationship. We walked out of the cafeteria together. When school was over, Victor begged to see me off. I agreed, we entered a cab and got home. Terry was outside smoking when we arrived. He looked at us with a dizzy face and asked who Victor was and I replied he was a friend and classmate. Then Victor was about to leave when Terry shouted "where do you think you're going?" I was shocked and praying in my mind that Terry won't do anything stupid. Victor then replied " I just wanted to see her off, do you have a problem with that???" and that made Terry angry. Terry stood up and grabbed Victor on the neck and punched him on his face. I was screaming saying "Terry stop this I'm not in your business soo,don't be in mine". Terry gazed with anger and pushed me on the floor. I was scared and crying, he might do something really bad to Victor. " You freak, when did you start keeping male friends or is he your boyfriend?" "No!! he isn't and even if he is ,what are you going to do about it?". Terry smiled sheepishly and looked at Victor and said "this is what I'm going to do". He grabbed Victor once more and punched him continuously. I was crying I tried to separate them but Terry slapped me. Victor was already bleeding and I knew I had to do something before Terry killed him. I picked up the nearest stick I saw and hit Terry soo hard on the head. Terry looked at me in pains and passed out. I was confused on how to go about the whole situation, I ran to Mrs Rose's shop to seek for help. Mrs Rose came out and called the ambulance to take both Terry and Victor to the hospital.
