CHAPTER ELEVEN: JOAN'S PROBLEM
"Floral, let's go. It is break time" Morayo said saving me from Joan's question
"Thank you!" I whispered as I stood up
"Can I follow you? I am through with writing the note from the board" Joan stood up looking at us
Victoria looked at her as if not knowing what to say
"It is not like we are going for party, we just want to buy food" Morayo said confused on why Joan will be following us
"I am also branching the canteen woman's place too" Joan said as if already knowing where we will be going
"Let's just go" Victoria said as she turned to leave
Jeez... Joan
I took out my small purse from my school bag before following them
"Do you guys know about Floral's brother?" Joan asked smiling
Gosh.. What kind of stupid question is that?
I am really glad that no one answered her stupid question
I turned back to see if John has left the girl, I have even forgotten her name already
"O..okay" Joan said awkwardly "Floral, don't need to look back, my brother can't leave Sunshine alone because of some reasons" she said as if reading my mind
"Why are you talking as if I have a crush on him? Besides, I just met him today" I responded irritated by her answer
"It is quite obvious" Joan said smiling at me
"Jeez girl... Stop concluding. It is annoying" I said looking at where we were going
We are passing girls hostel to get to the canteen as I can see
"I am not"
"Joan, please be quiet. I don't want to hate you"
"Or, isn't obvious you also like her brother because of the way you were excited when you mentioned his name?" Victoria asked her supporting me, I guess
"Yeah, I mean everyone likes her brother. He is handsome, smart, rich..." Joan said listing his characteristics
"Come on, you are too young to be his girlfriend. He can't even date you" I said to her not even bothering to look at her
"Who said I wants to date him?" Joan asked as soon as we got into the bustling canteen
"Isn't it obvious?" I asked as I moved away from her and walked with Morayo so we can order our food quick
"Ma'am, I will love jollof rice and fried fish. Everything four hundred naira" Morayo ordered
Jeez... Isn't that too much for her. She indeed loves food but it doesn't seem to show in her body because she is slim
"Take away or you are eating here?" the woman asked Morayo
"I am eating it here" Morayo answered
"Okay" the woman said as she served the food
"I will also love to order for a friend that eating here, she will have two wraps of fufu and egusi soup and meat" Morayo said as she turned to look at Victoria
I turned to see that Victoria have already secured a table for us
Joan wasn't with us as she is with a boy talking to him
Not any of my business, I ordered my food after Morayo had ordered for Victoria and herself
I ordered Jollof rice and fried fish since I don't know how to eat outsiders swallow (fufu, garri, amala and others)
I carried my plate and went to sit with them
"She is so cringe" I heard Victoria say
Nobody needs to tell me who she was talking about because it is quite obvious that she is talking about Joan
"Swearz" Morayo said as she swallowed the food in her mouth
"I even thought I was the only one that felt uncomfortable around her" I said as I take a spoon of jollof rice and put it in my mouth
"Thank goodness, she isn't here to spoil the vibe" Morayo said
"By the way, was she by any chance closer to Gabriella?" I asked looking at both of them
"Nah, they were enemies." Victoria says as she eats her meat
"O. M. G. They seriously fit. How I wished they were friends!" I smiled
"It was a pity that they are not friends" Morayo said
"What happened that caused them to be enemies?" I asked them
"You don't need to think twice when I say it was a boy that caused their fight" Victoria said
Jeez... Who would have thought that a grade seven student also fight for a boy. So.... Immature
"What is his name?" I asked them wanting to know who the hell is the boy that causes their fight
"Daniel, a grade 7B student" Victoria answered
Daniel, why Daniel of all names?
"I will love to see the boy with my two eyes" I said as I eat another spoon of my Jollof rice
"It is very easy to see him because he is like so popular that he moves with people that walk a lot" Morayo said as she dropped her spoon on her plate already done with her food
Okay, that alone is a red card for me because why will be fighting for a boy that walks around as if not having anything to do
"Done, let's go buy bottle water" Morayo said as she put our plates together
We all stood up to buy the water but I volunteered to pay for the three bottle water
We walked outside already happy that we filled our stomach
"Look at your right, here comes Daniel and Joan" Morayo said with a disgusted face that obviously showing on her face
I turned to see who the red card Daniel is that both Joan and Gabriella are fighting on that caused them to be enemies
I couldn't see him clearly since he is far away so we waited for Joan and him to come towards our side a bit so I can see Daniel very clearly
Now that he is closer I can see him, I opened my mouth at the shock and woolah! He is...
"Hey Floral!"
