CHAPTER TEN: THE GIRL JOHN SAVED, WHO IS SHE?
"Who is the girl to me?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow as if not hearing what I said
"If you don't want to answer, don't answer" I said at him before looking away
"I don't even plan on telling you" he said as he looked at the rest of the students being beaten by Mr. Kolawole
He is so weird! Or I guess I am
I was even expecting him to tell me since that is how Mangas and Korean movies work when they say 'if you don't want to talk it, don't say it'
I looked at him, looking at him from side view really makes me want to wander how he will look like when he is in the senior class. Maybe his beauty will stay or maybe it won't
"Sir, it is unfair. I also want to sweep the class" a male student said as soon as it reached his turn to be beaten
The male student looked so dirty with his dirty shirt and dusty knicker. He even forgot to tuck in his shirt, I guess
Oh mehn! His socks are brown and his sandals are so dusty. So there are indeed dirty students attending the Boarding school
It makes me turn to look at John but John has his clothes well kept, very ironed, socks neat and brushed hair
I admired him immediately
I turned to look at the rest of the students in the class and gosh! Few of the students in the class are indeed dirty even the females for crying out loud
My eyes went to the girl that John saved and indeed the girl looked pale
She is not as dirty as the few dirty ones in the classroom
"Can't you see that you fellow classmate looks pale from the facial appearance" Mr. Kolawole shouted at the boy
"Sir, I am not also feeling well"
"Stop lying, Joshua" Mr. Kolawole said to him calmly
Joshua stretches his hand for Mr. Kolawole to beat him and Mr. Kolawole beat him
He cried as he went to his seat
After the beating, Mr. Kolawole went back to teaching and indeed I love his teaching, I am able to grab it easily
After his class,
I saw John go meet the girl, he sat beside her telling the girl siting beside her to sit next to me
Okay now, this is making me think otherwise
"Do you know who the girl is?" I whispered to Victoria not wanting the girl that is sitting next to me hear what I am saying
"She is Sunshine, but I am yet to know their relationship" Victoria whispered back
"Lol, same here. Are you crushing on him?" I asked her looking at her smiling
"A little and I thank God he is the same age as me and a little taller than me" she squeaked
Gosh! There are people crushing on him
He is damn fine and so annoyingly quiet
Victoria is 5"2 and if I am not mistaken, he must be two to three inches taller than her
He is indeed tall for his age, I guess
I looked at John and Sunshine and I can see they are talking
"Are you also crushing on John?" the girl next to me asked after seeing me spying on him as she copied her note from the board
"... And why should I answer that?" I asked her obliviously
"I am Joan, John's twin" she said looking at me not even convincing me to answer that question
I looked at her closely and indeed they somehow look alike with the eyeballs but her birthmark is under her nose
She has the same face shape as him
"O.. Okay" I responded not knowing how to respond to her unconvincing response
"There are like almost many girls crushing in my brother" she said smiling as if proud of it
"I understand" I responded remembering how my brother has many crushes
"You also have a brother?" she asked as if confused by my response
"Doh, of course I have. Isn't it obvious?" I asked looking at her with an expressionless face
"It isn't quite written on your face but mine is written since we both look alike" she said
I don't even know if that was rude or not
"Well, I don't know if my brother and I look alike" I shrugged
"What is your brother's name?" she asked dropping her pen on top of her book before closing the book as if interested in what I am about saying
"Francis!" I answered looking at her
"Francis Williams or Francis Ogboona?" she asked mentioning a name that I haven't hear before
"My brother's name is Francis Williams, who is Francis Ogboona?" I asked looking at her
"Jeez... The most popular handsome boy in school is your brother. How come you two don't look alike?" she asked looking at me up and down
"Who is Francis Ogboona?" I asked her
"That boy over there" she said pointing at the boy siting at the back
The boy is fair too, he is a little cute and has a nice haircut. His uniform is neat but is not well tucked in
He is talking to some boys and smiling with them which include Joshua
I just felt like vomiting all of a sudden
Joshua has dreadlocks, it is all natural but it looks unkempt. Jeez!
"Maybe because I am new here that I don't know who Ogboona is" I said looking at her
"It is better you don't know him because the boys talking to him are notorious including himself" she said disgusted by just calling his name
"Wow" I said keeping to myself what is in my mind because I am not ready to spit anything out yet
"Back to what I am saying, do you have a crush on my brother?" she asked looking at me
"Gosh, why can't you ask another thing?" I asked looking at her
She is already annoying to me, the same as her brother
