Two sides of a face

Chapter 2✨

Omotola's POV:
After getting to the library I decided it was time I laid my head for a little while to have some peace and quite at least for an hour
I'm still having the headache and it was becoming worse so resting won't be a problem for me

A few minutes later,I woke up due to the fact that it wasn't comfortable at all and to say the headache was more was an understatement
I felt like I was carrying an entire building on my head

I spotted Floarin and ladies and gentlemen I'll like to introduce you to my one and only best friend
We have been friends since our secondary school(highschool) days
He helped me out with a lot of things and I couldn't ask for any other best friend which I also helped in his studies in return because I couldn't offer him more than that

His parents are actually rich so what could I possibly offer him that he didn't have already
So back to the present though,I saw him scanning the library I guess he was looking for me so I rose my hand up so he could locate me
After locating me,he made his way towards me

He stood above my head looking at me which made me feel some what uncomfortable
"What....why are you looking at me like that"
"Omotola what's wrong with you...you seem to be sick...what's wrong"Which shocked me because floarin doesn't use my full name except he is being serious about something
"Chill...I'm fine....ah"
He looked at me with disbelief but decided not to push which was good because I wasn't in the mood to argue with him at the moment

"So what did that man teach today or he was just talking shit as always"
"The usual"we laughed at that
"So what's going on with you....I mean your family...I saw Clara around somewhere"
"Ohh...Uhm...my mom and sister still hates me nothing much"
I tried my best to lighten the statement by chuckling a little but I knew I was only deceiving myself
"I know you are hurting but you'll be fine some day...they'll learn to love you just like m...."
He cut himself off and looked nervous before he continued
"Don't forget I'll always be there for you okay"
"Yea thanks"

"Now get your ass up so we could go eat before having the next class"
My face lit up at the mention of food and at that moment my stomach had to embarrass me which only made fola smile more
"Let's go"
On the way there,we joked about everything and that really lightened my mood
Fola just has a way of making me smile when ever am sad and I'm so grateful for meeting someone as wonderful as he is

When we got there I ordered coconut rice and salad with fried chicken
[coconut rice is a Nigerian food delicacy so please if you don't really know what it is I'll advice you to go check it out on YouTube so you could understand what I mean]
While fola ordered for the famous joll of rice with fried chicken because he isn't really a fan of salad

We ate our meal silently because we didn't really have anything to say at the moment
Don't get me wrong it wasn't actually an uncomfortable situation it was quite comfortable
After the meal fola had a demonic smile on his face which made my eyes widen
"Your coming with me right"
"For?"
"The event I told you about and you can't say no"
"I don't know fola....I have a lot of things to do"
"Like what?stay at home and feel sorry for yourself"
Immediately the words left his mouth regret flashed through his eyes and I felt really hurt making my eyes cloud with tears
"Wow so that's what you really think of me"I chuckled a little and it wasn't a pleasant one
"I think I have over stayed my welcome"with that I stood up and walked towards the waiter with the money for my food after paying I left

Thankfully I still had a few minutes to get to school before the next class
I got to class and sat at the front which was a place fola could never sit he was always seated in the middle
I didn't really have friends in my department so I just got my earphones and phone and began jamming music
Few minutes in and other course mates are rushing into the class followed by the lecturer and yes fola was among the other course mates

I couldn't really concentrate in class due to the headache I was having I completely forgot about it as I was eating but immediately I started crying it came back with full force
So the rest of my afternoon was spent with me avoiding fola every now and then

What he said to me was really bad and hurtful but I'll have to forgive him eventually but at the moment I don't think I have the ability to be around him without slapping him
I was making my way back home with my earphones on when I felt someone jerk me backwards and I collided with the person
I looked up and I saw it was fola,he looked at me with plead and sadness
Immediately I pulled my arm away from his and created a distance between us which brought a sad look to his face
"What?"
"See motola I'm sorry....so someone can not joke with you again...I didn't mean for it to be hurtful it was after I said it that I reasoned the sentence..I'm sorry please don't be mad at me"
"It's fine fola...you are forgiven"

He smiled at me and I smiled back feeling happy once again
"So where are you going to"
"I'm going home obviously....don't you have eyes"
He just rolled his eyes at me and laughed
"I think I'll follow you to your house I need to rest before my driver comes"
"Alright let's go"
On our way to my house we talked about everything and anything occasionally making jokes about the people on the street (not harsh jokes)

Finally making it home I went straight to my room as usual with fola following me like a lost puppy which is surprising because he has been here countless times
"Now that your here what are you going to do because am going to bed now...my head is still aching"
"I think I'll sleep too because I didn't get enough sleep yesterday"
"Why"
"I decided to watch a movie at 12am and the movie was very interesting so I couldn't sleep till the movie ended"
"Oh I get sha"

"Fola when your leaving you wake me please"
"Alright...now shift let me also sleep"
After adjusting and being comfortable I slept off
Few minutes later,I was awoken by the noise coming from my parlor
I wanted at getting up but I felt a weight on me and I noticed that fola's leg was on my stomach which made me want to laugh but I kind of found it cute too at the same time

I went to the parlor and saw my sister shouting in the parlor
"Clara good afternoon"she turned towards my direction and looked at me from head to toe with hatred before replying me
"What are you doing here omotola"
I looked at her dumbfounded wondering who she was asking the question
"Unfortunately I live here too"
"Mtchewww I know you carried my money"
"Which money again"
"The money I kept in my bag and in my room"
"When last did you see me in your room Clara"

"Omotola I know your lying just admit it"
"Ah see me see trouble o how would I admit something that I did not do"I said in a sass tune because I was getting irritated
"Don't even start that nonsense with me and watch the way you talk to me I'm still the older one here I can beat the hell out of you right now"
At this moment she was screaming and I was very sure she woke fola up
"clara jọwọ fi mi silẹ nikan"
{translation:Clara please leave me alone}

"What did you just say"
"I said Clara leave me alone"I said with anger and this time she didn't hesitate to slap me
Immediately she did tears were slipping away from my eyes
"What have I ever done to you Clara...how could someone just stay on their own and start hating another person and for the worst part is I am your sister"
"Shut up!!"
I still continued "you have been nothing but wicked and cold towards me since I was 5 and am 17 for Christ sake...I have been trying to make you happy in little ways but it seems like you don't care at all...you turned mom against me too...you are just older than me with one year and I respect you soo much"
"You have done everything wrong...I hate you omotola...I would never learn to love you and you better avoid me before the worst happens because you won't like it"

"Do your worst Clara...I'm tired of your constant nagging....I'm tired"
"I wish you were never born Omotola"
"I wish you were never my sister either"
With that I ran to my room and immediately I entered I saw fola looking at me with sad eyes
He reached out to hold me but I moved away which brought hurt to his face
"I think you should get going...it's kind of late"I managed to say trying to hold back my tears

He looked at me contemplating before leaving and I went to the floor after he left
I didn't know what to do all I could do was to think about how fucked up my life is
