//A NEW START//
I am still looking at you Janet paying no attention to the organic structure of Benzene our chemistry Teacher Mr. Kayode was sketching on the white board.
Grace and Benedict were stories of my past, and after Grace's burial, Mildred's parents had transferred her to Victory High school which was far away in the west.
Now she wouldn't be a threat to me even if Grace had told her about my role in Benedict's death, but you Janet, you are my present and you are my future.
I could finally beat my chest and say that nothing bad was going to happen to us this time, it would be a perfect relationship, although I still had my partner in crime "The ghost reader" with me I decided I had no use for it, because I needed a new start with you.
After the Chemistry class I followed you and your friends, Diana and Princess to the School cafeteria. You couldn't see me stalking you, and I think for both our sakes it would be the best option.
I love you, but I wasn't ready to make a drastic appearance into your life, so I had to lay low, understand what you liked in a guy, so that when you're ready we'll be meant for each other on every single level, I was like a walking time bomb waiting to explode, it had taking me a long time to understand that what I had with Grace last Year was more of an Obsession not love.
But with you this year, I promise to let you love freely. I sat at the edge of the cafeteria, I had a plate of pasta snd French fries on my table but I didn't care.
All I could think about is you Janet. I took my time to examine your friends, Diana Oyetoro or as you fondly call her "Dia". She is Empire High Schools Female Volleyball Captain.
And to tell myself the truth, there isn't much I could know without "The ghost reader" but based on my observation, your friend Diana is a light skinned girl with an average height who loved her hair in a dyed pink low-cut.
She is the introvert amongst you three, but you're second friend Princess Azi is the complete opposite of Diana, she was shorter than the rest of you and damn! Princess would totally get employed at Aljazeera because; she talks a lot, and to top it all she was same complexion as you Janet.
The automatic bell rang to mark the end of the break, and as it was my hobby, I trailed behind you and your friends on the hallway that led to our class.
It felt to me that there was nothing else more worthwhile than watching you and your friends laugh while making your way to class, You, Janet are a free spirit, and you hardly get angry or let the negative comments of other girls get to you.
You were perfect at other subjects except Mathematics. Although I didn't want to make a drastic appearance into your life, the Vice principal Mr. Clifford Ogbonna had made me your Math's Tutor this academic session considering that his best Math's student Mildred Sunday had Transfer out of Empire High.
I noticed the sudden change in your countenance when your boyfriend Harrison Chike walked up to you.
That self-absorbed motherfucker!
Harrison Chike is Empire High's sweet heart, he is the face of the School, I mean, who else would it be if not "Mr. Mixed race".
Ever since Harrison Chike set foot into Empire High school, he has captured the hearts of the female students and even some of the female teachers within their earlier twenties seem to have a crush on this British- Nigerian Motherfucker with a perfect jawline.
He came closer to you trying to plant a kiss on your lips but you pushed him off.
Ok you're not in a happy relationship, copy that!
You immediately left him and his group of clueless friends dumbfounded before you made your way to the classroom with your minions Diana and Princess trailing behind you.
If it wasn't for the fact that this was me trying to have a "New start", a clean slate I would have made Harrison pay for the pain he was costing you right now.
As if Harrison knew what was on my mind he looked at me and I could relate, although I haven't made a move on you yet, but Harrison sees me as an obstacle and I wondered what he did to get you all worked up.
