Beautiful Things

Episode 23

We got to an isolated area, then i stopped and turned towards annabel.

Me: annabel i really need to say this right now, am really not in love with you.

Annabel: hahaha dont worry i understand dear i know we are moving too fast. I dont believe a word from what you just said.

Me: i know you kinda think am into you but am not, it was all a mistake.

Anna; wait a minute i could take if you said you were mistaken when you said those words to me, but you dare not tell me you’re mistaken when you kissed me, cos i fell in love with you after that moment she said amidst tears.

Me: Anna plsss you have to understand, i had to let you know, you’re a great lady you deserve better, lets just be friends.

Anna: friends!! She scoffed, i dont want to be friends with you, you should have thought of that before you made me fall for you. Am not letting you go never. And she walked away.

I really felt bad for her becos more than anyone i knew how if felt like to have your feelings neglected. I knew its for the best cos deep down inside my heart was dera. I sighed and headed straight to mrs queens’s office.

Me; Goodday mrs queen

Mrs queen: oooh lance you’re here i have something i wanted to give to you and she hand over a long white paper with writings on it, this is an example, use this as a base work for your speech.

Me: i just nodded then stood up to leave

mrs queen: you dont seem ok is sth bothering you.

Me; nothing serious ma, and i left the office, went straight to my class and grabbed my bag.

I was about coming out, when i saw dera coming out too, i just stood there and stared @her and she did thesame. I really wanted to hug her but i was unsure of her response, especially after what hapened earlier.

dera

When i saw dee and that lady together at launch i almost collapsed, i felt like i had this hole in my heart and it hurts so bad, i managed to get myself a sit without causing a scene, for a while i consoled myself with thoughts like maybe they were just friends, just then she kissed him, my heart stopped for a moment, have ruined everything. I walked back to my class and my friend tried to cheer me up, then i got thirsty so i got up to go out, on reaching the door i saw desire staring at me, in just oneday i felt like we’ve been apart for eternity. I tried to stop my self from hugging him. All could remember was me flying into his arms like metals and magnet.

ANNABEL

I ran to meet dorcas while tryin to fight back the tears in my eyes finally i saw her and she took me somewhere calm, where i explained everything to her. She consoled me for a while and then she said come on girl you shouldnt be here crying, you should be thankful he told you early, atleast you can get it of your system, rather than playing with you and dumping you like rag. She really made sense and soon i cleaned my eyes and told her i was going to be friends with him. She just smiled
Just then dera ran towards me and hugged me and held me so tight we stayed like that for a while.

Dera: am so sowie about about yest….. Then i cut her short

Me: ssshhhhhh we’re cool now, actualy i wasnt ready for anymore fight. Then i lifted her and we went toward the school garden, while she held me closely.

Me: I know am a little bit old fashioned but then i realised i wont be happy without in my life, dera plsss be my date, i asked still carrying her as walked

dera: she just whispered, what took you so long and smile. I knew deep down, that was a yes and i felt overjoyed.
