we went to the cafeteria to buy soft drink Maya's boyfriend also followed us we gist about our secondary school life especially our senior secondary school Three
"Maya have you fallen in love with a guy who is not interested in you?"; josh asked her
" no... no." she answered nodding her head like a lizard
" I see.... Amelia what's about you?"
" I don't think so"; it's getting late we should go home
"that's true " Maya agreed with me
" both of you are running away from my questions"
"I think they are right..., it's is getting late "
" hmmm...ok lets go "
" Amelia, you and James can take taxi from here since you are going to the same place"
" why me?, the same place I don't understand
don't"
"James is living in your house upstairs "
" really...,that means I will be seeing you often "
"yes of course, I would checking up on my boyfriend"
"no prob"
we bought took taxi from the cafeteria to my house I went straight to my room to avoid unnecessary talk between the two us
"why are we even leaving the same house and I didn't notice him for this long. whatever, I'm not the one she's dating so there's no need for us to get close to each other" i whisped to myself
when I heard someone is knocking my door, I was scared and confused because I'm not expecting anybody, maybe it's my mom, at least she would want to greet her one and only daughter, I opened the door with a big smile on my face. I was shocked to see James maya boyfriend standing like a statue
" James...wat are you doing here "
"I want to great you since we are in the same house I would be coming often"
" what!!.., sorry to say this but I never considered you as a friend and...."James interrupted
"I know..... that's why I'm here to sort things out I want us to be friends."
"hmmm... what is your point exactly"
"I hope you won't mind me coming inside I want us discuss something important with you "
"come in... but you have to be quick"
"wait....are you scared of me "
"am not scared of anything I just t.... I just don't count you as my friend, that is all" she stammerd
"hmm..., then why are you shaking and sweating "
" no.. there is heat."
"heat... under this celling fan"
" I don't understand you if you don't have any tangible thing to say, just get out "
"I don't have much to say... I just want you to know am a good person"
"lol.... "
"what is funny "
" you sound funny, lol...."
" but am serious here "
"I know..... that is why I am allowed you into my room"
he smiles softly at me, I know I can feel a different vibe between the two of us.... am not tense or anxious nor depressed unlike all other guys that makes me feel inferior
"can we be great friends please...."
"yes!!!"; I shouted without even thinking twice
"wow... that's all I wanted to sort out, thank you for trusting me"
"I don't trust you am giving you a chance to prove yourself as a good friend"
"but still.. am excited"
"you can go now"
"why are you sending me away so soon"
I dragged him out of my room, I close my door before he could even say his last good bye, I was am excited because since I was raped I've been avoiding contacts with any guy but I'm not scared or depressed when am with James, this thought took over my mind,
wait....wait .... James is my best friend boyfriend...I have to stop thinking about this matter, we are just friends and nothing more.
