CHAPTER TWENTY: A LITTLE CHIT CHAT WITH MY FRIENDS
"Yeah, we are closer… No worries, I will tell him about your crush for him" I said to Victoria as we walked out of class together
"Stop that, I want him to notice me by himself and not through your help" Victoria said as she blushed looking at her front
"Love is truly blind. I don't know what you see in that cold quiet guy" Morayo said looking at Victoria then at me
"Morayo just keep quiet. Don't try to bad mouth the guy. The guy has his reasons for being like that" I said to Morayo as I looked at Victoria's reaction
"Morayo, I don't know but I guess people have their own opinions about his behaviour" Victoria said as we walked to the dining hall since we were all ordered to go to the dining for dinner after prep
"Yes, Victoria is right" I agreed as I nodded my head
"Whatever you say but, anytime I see that guy he looks like a bad news to me" she shrugged as he walked past the tall trees
"Morayo" I called her as if finding offense in what she spat out from her mouth
"What? Isn't it my own opinion I was just saying" she said looking at me as if wondering why I am always finding it bad in what she said
"By the way, what were you saying to John?" Victoria asked as she looked at me as we entered into the dining hall. As usual, the dining hall seems to be noisy
"I just seem to notice a scar on his arm and I asked about it. At first, he didn't answer me saying that he doesn't like talking to people he just met and before he knew it, he started telling me the reason about how he got the mark" I explained
"Wow, he got a mark?" Victoria asked as we sat down on a bench
"Yeah, he said he got it from seniors beating" I answered her as I removed my bag from my back and put it on my lap
"Everything is just about seniors. The senior boys are wicked than the senior girls, even some of them flirt with the junior girls" Victoria said to me as she looked at me
"Disgusting of them, some of them will then be referred to as women beaters if they continue to be like that" I said as I watched the senior count the students on our table before leaving to get the big cooler
"Do you know that, they might not even end of becoming women beaters" Victoria shrugged as she looked at the girl opposite her on the table
"Whatever but they are still cruel" I said as I turned to look at her
"Well, I just thought the both of you look like you are very close to each other" Victoria smiled while shrugging
"Can I ask why you like him?" I asked not wanting to specify the name because others are also on the table and also, the girl sitting opposite Victoria seems to be eavesdropping
"When I first saw him, I find him attractive then I later find his calmness and quietness more cute to me" she said as she smiled
"What about that girl he called his girlfriend? You know who I am talking about" I asked trying not to specify the person name because of the same reason
"That girl?" Victoria said as she also didn't specify because of the same reason "I didn't even meet her for our first one month in this school then later on, when she came, the both of them became very close. It was quite annoying but I guess I am bearing it. If the guy turns out not to notice me later on, I will try moving on" she explained and suggested with her explanation
"If I am also the one, I will also feel that pain of being ignored by my crush" I said as I collected my food and started eating the beans that we were served
"Jeez… beans, always their watery beans on a Monday evening. This is one reason I hate Monday because of their food arrangement and the subject of the day" Morayo said as she shook her plate looking at the watery beans in disgust
"I brought garri, don't worry" Victoria said as she removed her bag from her back and putting it on her lap, she unzipped her bag to bring out a small black nylon. She unzipped her bag and untied the nylon and poured small into Morayo's plate and my plate then hers
"Thanks" Morayo and I said together
"Can I have also?" the girl opposite Victoria on the table requested, the same girl that was eaves dropping
"Okay" Victoria said and gave her the nylon
"Everything?" the girl asked
"Yes" Victoria answered as she mixed her beans with the garri to make the beans become thick
"Thank you" the girl said smiling "My name is Vanessa, I am a new student that resumed yesterday" she said looking at Victoria
She is so straight forward, I wonder if Victoria requested for her name
"Okay, I am Victoria and I am not a new student" Victoria answered and jeez… I almost laughed but, Morayo is the worst. She laughed out loud
"Okay, nice meeting you" Vanessa said oblivious in why Morayo is laughing and in what Victoria replied her with
I know it is rude but I don't that much like someone that is too forward in everything. Well, I can see that she is trying to look for friend and she looks lonely
"I am Floral" I said to her introducing myself
She looked at me and smiled "nice meeting you as well" she replied
After some minutes, we were done with our food and started to walk our way out of the dining when I saw Vanessa d…
"What?"
