" Hey " I whispered and she frowned
" let me go " she grunted
"Lmao I'm not even the one holding you " I replied in the same way
"Let me go " she yelled inaudibly
" are you okay like this ? How am I holding you back or maybe you just don't want the moment to end so please stop shifting blames on me " I winked at her
"Bashir " she gritted breathing fast while I looked deep into her eyes which made her calm all of a sudden, you know am beginning to know her weak point she was trying to be brave and smart but I just blackmailed her emotionally and she was looking at me the same way
"Uhm uhm " Femi made a throaty sound that interrupted us
"Why won't you just mind your buisiness " I eyed him
"There! Alhamdullilah!" I exclaimed but not really excited about ending the moment . It was her earring that stunk on my suit and she frowned and adjusted in her sit shyly
"Just keep the pretense aside and thank me " I whispered slowly looking at her in the exact way I noticed makes her silent while she eyed me up and down fluttering her adorable eye lashes beautifully, was I supposed to be angry ? Nah instead I laughed it was so funny , she's cute very cute
"Finally " I heard miss Aisha's voice
"Achieved ! Achieved! Achieved !! We can do this " Femi exclaims
"Yes we can " Diana high fives him
"Salma are you okay " miss Aisha asked her
"I'm fine " she uttered weakly
Why the sudden mood swings? Was it because of me ?
"You have to keep whatever that's is disturbing you in mind and brace your self to focus on winning the competition, got that ?"miss Aisha held her shoulders
"Yes ma" sally let out a relief
I and Femi led the girls to the hall as we were ushered with VIP treatment ! They're so many students from different schools
***************
We watched how the first round of the competition ended and it's time for break ! During the first round so many schools got disqualified while only three excelled to second round
I gently sited Femi and Diana who were chatting happily at same time soiling table water ! They looked so happy because they performed well in the first round meanwhile Bashir and I are expected to perform in the second round
"Ummul salma" some one screamed from behind ! That's was my old friend, Razifa !my primary school friend she's representing her school ! We were very happy to see each other again ! As we strolled around the hall and begun to tease each other about childhood
" ehn ehn salma can I say something " she suddenly change the topic with a keen interest
" yeah ! Fine , what's it ?" I furrowed my brows at her with a little bit tension
