Episode 22
I looked at him, I donât know I was expecting him to say but I know whatever he say will make a difference and it got my heart pounding.
âBarbie barbie, its too early in the day to think of dinnerâ he said. We are already at night what is he talking about, its just his way of saying he donât feel the same way.
âI will be going insideâ I said feeling broken âI will hold my end of Tue bargain and went inside, I listen for him to call but he didnât.
I went inside with mixed feelings, I donât know if I should be happy heâs out or I should be sad I didnât get I love you too.
I went to school, in the morning all eyes on me, I have only one motive to convince his friends the reason why he did what he did. I ignored the stare and waited for the delinquent to arrive cause I know they are the one that need explanation.
âAnd just like that, you became the most popular girlâ Amina said coming beside me, I smiled
âHow are youâ I asked trying to ignore the popular girl talk.
âAm fine, just kept telling my parents I had no idea about Ericâ she said with a sigh âhow stupid we are, we never reason the fact his name is Eric and he never said his surnameâ she said bewildered and the delinquents arrived.
âHelp me and convince the delinquents the reason why Eric did what he didâ I pleaded Amina
âTruthfully, I donât know why he did itâ she said. I forget she also need convincing, I sighed, I guess she is the first, she will then help me to convince the delinquents during break. So I started telling her the whole story
âSo you mean his life might still be in danger since they havenât catch the culpritâ she asked and I nodded
âWow, he have guts, cause I will still be hiding if am himâ she said, I have told her everything, just not the personal part and the fact am the one that prompt him. At least now she will help me convince the delinquents.
âSo help me convince the delinquentsâ I said and she nodded, we departed when she got to her class, I went inside mine and Amanda eyes was on me, well I will convince them during break time.
âSo thatâs what he had to shoulder aloneâ Richie said feeling pity for Eric after am done telling them everything, its break time but non have the appetite to eat.
âOne question, how come you recognised him, when even me couldnâtâ Collins asked, he was Eric bestfriend before he left
âLove recognises the heart, thats how she recognized himâ Amanda said, thank God she did cause I have nothing to say.
âWhat do you mean by thatâ Richie asked
âYou know for a guy with high IQ youâre dumbâ Amina said to the oblivious Richie, and the started theyâre chitchat. We just smiled and started our normal chatting, am happy its all been resolved, I canât wait to tell him all about it.
âYou knew its Eric Junior all along so you left me for himâ I heard Kevin saying, he looks mad, I feel pity for him.
âDoes it matter anything to youâ Amanda said barring her fangs, she never hasitate to bare her teeth
âLeave since you are not welcomeâ Collins said standing up, I looked and saw Kelly and his crew advancing, I remembered how it ended d the first time, since the monster is not here it might get more severe, I then decided to end it.
âLeave Kevin, I never knew he was Junior, and I was never with youâ I said, he gave me a death glare and walked away. Collins and the rest only stand down when they saw Kevin and Kelly gang have settle down.
âI appreciate you guys standing up for meâ I said gratefully.
âYouâre Ericâs woman, that makes you the Luna of this crew since Eric is considered the Alphaâ Richie said and we all laughed, I feel so honoured.
I didnât see Eric the whole day, except seeing him in the TV, he kept answering questions on where heâs been, he told them everything but never mentioned me. Even when they asked her about the girl he was with, he said âshe just my classmateâ it kept ringing in my head, every other thing he said to me suddenly became a sweet word with no volume. I have been played.
