Highschool Love Story

Chap 27: She Knows

Unknown

What the hell is Temi doing here?

The moment I saw her I knew something was wrong. Temi didn't just randomly appear somewhere.

She always had a reason.

Was she here because of Adah?

No

She couldn't be

My jaw tightened as I stood in the corridor, watching students slowly pouring out of the building. School had ended several minutes ago and the once noisy hallway were gradually becoming quieter as students made their way outside

I should have left already

But instead, I stayed

Waiting.

My fingers found their way to my mouth and I bit down one of my fingernails as my thoughts spiralled. I was disturbed, Temi knew me too well, she knew the real me. That was the problem.

She knew things about me that nobody did. Things I couldn't afford for Adah—or anyone else—to find out

And now she was here

In the same school

Too close

My eyes moved anxiously through the students leaving the building

What if someone had told her something?

No

Who would even—

The sound of familiar laughter pulled me from my thoughts

My head snapped up

Temi

She finally stepped out from one of the classrooms with another girl beside her. They were talking casually, laughing about something as they walked down the corridor

I immediately stepped further into the corner, making sure I wasn't seen.

My eyes never left her

The other girl pulled out her phone, and Temi did the same. They exchanged numbers before waving each other goodbye

The girl hurried away, rushing towards a car waiting outside the school compound

Temi watched her leave before turning in the opposite direction

Alone

Finally

I stepped out

"Temi"

She barely had enough time to turn around. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the quieter end of the corridor

I dragged her around the corner and immediately looked around

No one saw

Good

Especially not Adah

"What is your pr-"

"What are you doing here?" I cut her short

"You don't just grab someone like that oga" she said as she pulled her hand from my grip and rubbed her wrist

"Temi cut the crap, why are you here?" I was already loosing patience

"I transferred "

My eyes narrowed

"Why?"

She scoffs and folded her arms across her chest.

"Am i not allowed to change schools?"

That can't be it

She was trying to act casual

Too casual

My stomach tightened

Knowing Temi, she didn't just make decisions without a reason. She didn't wake up one morning and suddenly decide to leave her school and transfer somewhere else.

Not without telling me

Could she have been called? But by who?

Then suddenly it hit me

My entire body went still

There was only one person who could have called Temi here

One person who had a reason to bring someone from my past into this school

I looked back at her

"Did she call you?" I asked

Temi's expression didn't change

But she paused

Just slightly

Barely noticeable

If it had been anyone else, they probably wouldn't have caught it

But I knew Temi

I had known her long enough to recognize every little thing she did when she was hiding something

The brief hesitation

The way her eyes shifted for a second

The slight tension in her shoulders

That was all I needed

Her silence had already told me everything

My jaw clenched

"She called you"

She finally looked at me a again

Still silent

She doesn't confirm it but her actions confirms everything

I took a step back and ran a hand through my head

I was angry

I shouldn't have shown her those pictures

And that's the reason she called Temi
