"Well well well! I see your handsome and wealthy, innocent but trouble making face is back in action. I wish you wont destroy it again massively!" Ganja shouted at the entrance of the dormitory before finally resting on my bed.
"It's funny, isn't it?" Of course Kevan was proud of his looks but the wealthy part reminded him of a best joke.
"Have a look at yourself dude! I really never thought that your ounce destroyed face will actually turn out to be this perfect. If I didn't know you, I would thing you were an alien." As he was talking, Ganja passed a fist sized mirror to me.
Looking at myself, I was also a bit surprised for my completely no scar face. It was so fine not like that of someone whose face was completely destroyed two months back, maybe the school's medication is dope actually.
"It's even about the welcoming party by the way, it's going to be so crazy bro. Won't you be performing a thinf on stage!"
'I must get prepared for the welcoming party but first of all, I have to signup because its just a three days time to the party. I must not be late!' Thinking about it, Kevan decided to go look for Klara. Today being a Sunday, most students were rarely busy on this day so he guessed she was available too.
"Hey kid, rush to me." A square faced youth with a small fade mustach was standing with a very beautiful brown skin tall girl.This was actually the third time that Kevan witnessed such a beauty. He tried to compare Habibah to her but he still found out that each party had some points of win to the other. She looked scholarly polite but with very mature looks too and according to her behaviour, she was totally a highly grade model slayer and to complete this, she was the perfect one!
'Is she the school's number one beauty?'
'She is so damn beautiful but in age, she must be older than me, and not a little!' How he hated being young sometimes, that was a very good reason to why you couldn't have a perfect body like this gilr. But where Kevan came from, age was nothing to talk about in relationships yet here, it was a taboo for a girl to date someone younger than her.
Ofcourse it is not because they usually talk about their age, it is simply because of your looks and at times your age is imperfectly determed so in order not to be on everyone's conversation, you had to lookup yourself.
"You like her?" The square faced youth asked seeing Kevan who was caught up in daze yet seemingly unbothered with him looking at the girl who was besides him. He seemed to be used to people looking at the girl with admiration, but today he was also puzzled because apart from Kevan looking at the girl, it was just an expressionless look with no lusts or administration. He couldn't help but ask.
The girl also seemed to care less, maybe she was used to catching people's attention so she just glanced at Kevan indifferently before turning her attention to the guy next to her. She seemed to be calm when she looked at him, those eyes were filled with love and admiration. She loved him, it was something visible to the eye.
Why did she love a guy like him, he was not really perfect to have such a beauty for real. 'Love is blind, those in love can't see what others see in them.' Kevan sighed a gave up on his judgments, this really had nothing to do with him.
Having such a beauty yet he looked like nothing close to being arrogant and cocky, Kevan quite approved of this guy though he called him a kid, he had to be a good and capable person to keep such a beauty in check so to give him face, Kevan replied indifferently, "I think she is beautiful."
"So u don't like her?" The square faced youth asked raising his eye brows thinking that he already knew what my answer was.
"I have no reason of liking her but still I have no reason of hating her so that is why am talking about facts of now, I think she is just beautiful...I have nothing much of a compliment about her." Kevan explained briefly.
The girl looked at me surprised for a moment before she sighed with a quick sneered, of course since Kevan's attention was kn the too, no matter how she presented to be, nothing would leave his eyes unnoticed but he still didn't mind as he pretended to be unmoved.
"I heard a lot about you. you did not disappoint me just now. I'm TheVice President of the school's MDD club this year, you can just address me as Eddie, just like everyone. Klara talked much about you. She said that you can rap but as you know. A rapper's introduction is not being talkative, so you must make me approve of what she said." so this was Eddie? Looking at the girl again with uncertainty, 'she must be his girlfriend "Mercy".
Kevan never thought that these guys would actually come to a fresher like him just because he can rap, very unbelievable! They wanted something to impress them in order to be approved by them, so straightforward!
Wait, if he is Eddie then, he is also the same guy who defeated Rocky last year for the Senior Boxer title.
Thinking about it, Kevan was even more uncertain, if he really wanted a rap song, and from him, he would have sent someone to come pick me up then!
Looking at him intently, Kevan decided to first study him first or maybe he will know more of this guy from his perspective.
He was tall and skinny with a square face together with his mustache wearing a pricey pale yellow vintage shirt with buttons tied steadily covering his body from just below his chest to his long black large trousers matching the colour of his baseball Cape on his head with yellow but dotted black Jordans shoes. To complete the image, he dressed just like a new school calm king.
Just now, Kevan realized that these two were actually such a nice couple who did alot more in match making with their colourful dressing styles.
Kevan was expecting someone as scary as Rocky but this guy was so humble to be the person who won the Senior Boxer title last year. If you saw it, you couldn't believe your eyes but if you were just told about it and you accidentally meet the person to be like this, you would think that the person who told you was a bluffing buffoon.
But to Kevan who knew more about street boxing experience, it was usual for someone lazy to defeat a bold person. Streets were all about environment experience together with a very fast and functional mind. So Eddie defeating that old fart Rocky was just a child's play on streets but not in the ring of course. That was another case, a ring fight was completely different. Someone had to be with serious experience of a true boxer to win a match from points.
"Should I drop the sound truck or you just scared of many people looking at you?" Seeing the off guard Kevan, Eddie started to be a little bit disappointed.
Kevan though that this Eddie really underestimated him, to him, singing in public was a simple child's play but what provoked his resistance was the hatred from the compound. He knew very well how the crowd felt about him and if the artist was not on good terms with the audience, he was to recieve shots of empty bottles and some other disgusting stuff in the face from the audience.
"Drop me frozen medium speed loop." Kevan made a decision. He needed money and if he was to get some money, he had to first let this couple approve of his capabilities so what if the crowd was against him, he had to do what he thought was right always and thdt is why he has managed to survive this long.
"Not bad...So bold but don't disappoint me...I think guys from this wing really hate you but I want you to challenge crowd! You better do a great one and turn the desks to the south.[1]"
Eddie played the sound, 'so fast' I wanted a medium fast sound but not a very fast sound. But it was all nothing to worry about.
Listening intently, Kevan asked for a rewind and Eddie did just as he asked. Students hurriedly started to move in the direction of the sound since they all knew, Eddie never raised the volumes for a child's play.
[1] Turning the desks to South means alot of things but to Eddie's perspective, it simply means embracing change. Since they hate him, Kevan must make sure that they love him instead.
