Chapter 10 - LIKE WISE

Chris kept calling on her phone but she refused to answer it.Her mum knocked on her room amd then entered.

Mum....Did Chris tell you the sad news?

Mava....What news?

Mum....His mum passed away this morning.

Mava....What??? I...i...i didnt know.

Mum....Get ready, we are going there today.

Mava....Okay mum, let me get ready.(Shit! I had no idea, didnt that coming.Poor him.)

Mava and her mum went straight to the airport and headed to Australia to attend the burial of Chris's mum.The burial ended, Mava went to him amd hugged him.

Mava....Am so sorry Chris.

Chris....Its okay, as long as your here with me.

They spent there a few days and went back home on weekend.Chris stayed in Australia.As for Jk, he was still thinking about why Mava missed school for a week.

Jk....Now what? She is obviously mad at me.But i didnt mean to hurt her....i kinda....miss her.She is the only friend i have here.This is bothering me, let me call her at once, i dont care what she will say.

Mava was talking with Chris on the phone, Jk called her but it was busy.

Jk....Busy? She is probably talking to someone, let me wait for some minutes.

He called again after half an hour but she was still talking to Chris comforting him for the loss of his mum.

Jk....Whom is she talking to this long? Urgh! Why today when i also want to talk to her.

He spent the whole weekend thinking about Mava.On monday, Mava went to school but she was on her phone the whole time, Jk was looking at her.

Jk....(It cant be! She cant possibly have got a new guy...it cant be.What should i do? This is killing me, she is only focused on her phone and it is obviously that she is talking to someone.)

Ava....Hi Jolo.

Jk....Oh, Ava, hi.

Ava....Long time no talk.

Jk....Indeed, excuse me Ava.

Ava....Wait, i want to say something.

Mava turned her head and saw them, she stood up and left.

Jk....Ava, am sorry.Lets talk later.

Jk went and followed Mava who was heading to the washroom, he also went there.

Jk...Mava, lets talk.

Mava....About what? You want to brag about you and Ava? I know, its obvious.

Jk....What??? No, you got it all wrong.

Mava....It doesnt matter, we are not together so i dont care what you do with your life.

She recieved a text and looked at her phone, Jk took it away from her hands.

Mava....Hey, give it back.

Jk....Whom are you texting? I even called you on saturday but you were talking to someone, is it your new guy?

Mava....And what is it to you? Why do you care?

As they were still arguing, they heard girls coming.Jk held her hand and they hid in the toilet.He leaned closer to her, she looked away.

He held her face and looked at her, they locked eyes, he took off his mask and slowly kissed her, she didnt resist.After, she pushed him away.

Mava....They've left.

She went from the toilet, Jk followed her, she was blushing and her face was all red.

Mava....Ummm....give me my phone back.

Jk....So, its true that your seeing someone?

Mava....Its my life, your dont own me because you mercilessly rejected me, now what?

Jk....Mava....i care about you, i wanna be by your side and i learnt about my feelings for you....not so long.

Mava....What...do you mean?

Jk....I've been in love with you way back when you first talked to me in class, but i wasnt sure so i didnt want to hurt you when i wasnt sure.

Mava....Now that your sure...and???

He held her hand and kissed it.

Mava....What....are you doing?

Jk....Mava, i love you, i wanted to tell you because am now sure about my feelings for you.

Mava....Ummm...mmm...wear your mask before someone enters and sees you.

Jk....I will but...

As he was still talking, she took it from his hands and put it on his face, she kissed him on the forehead.

Mava....If your really serious, you have to work hard to win me, got it?

Jk.....Hahahaha...got it Mava.

Mava....Am off to class.

She went back to class but couldnt smiling and blushing.Jk also came back to his seat, Ava went to him again.

Ava....Jolo, am sorry for everything.

Jk....What do you mean?

Ava....Anyway, lets make peace, wanna be friends again? Your a nice person and i dont want to lose, i want to atleast apart of your life.

Jk....Okay, friends again.

Ava....Once again, am Ava Gresie.

Jk....Hahaha...am Jolo.

After, she went back to her seat.Lessons ended and Jk waited for Mava, but she had already left, he called her and she answered.

Jk....Mava, where are you? Am outside waiting for you.

Mava....At school? I already left because i knew that you will be waiting.

Jk....So...you ran from me?

Mava....Technically...yes.

Jk....Come on!

Mava....Am busy, byeee....

She ended the call.

Jk....Hahaha...what is she trying to do to me? Playing hard to get, huh?

He went home, at night, he texted her.

Jk....Good night Mava, sweet dreams.

Mava....Seriously? Say something sweet, i wanna hear it.

He called her but she rejected his call, he texted her again.

Jk....Come on now...

Mava....Sorry, i forgot to tell you, am a hard catch.

Jk....I also forgot to tell you, i dont easily give up.

Mava....Okay, game on.
