Life SUCKS.

Now he wants to read with me.

      I can't believe Joseph stood up for me and is currently smiling at me. Wait! I think it's my eyes. No it's not,I'm dreaming. Okay now I'm hallucinating. Joseph smiled at me. No,he is not my crush ofcourse. But I'm just surprised. I mean the normal him would have just smiled at them and walk off to do what he has to do, ignoring everyone around him.

   But today he stood up for me? To say I'm wowed is an understatement. Don't get me wrong,I'm still very angry with him. I mean I have a reason to, don't I? Oh no,he is walking up to me. I have to leave the class. Finally back to reality and taking a break from my thoughts. I took my notes and ran off. I wasn't running away from Joseph. I'm just running away from the fact that he isn't himself. What if he suddenly becomes 'him' and says hurtful things. As they say prevention is better than cure. You must be wondering why I'm here diary? Why I'm skipping class as I love school so much? Well sorry to burst your bubble. But I'm not skipping class at all.

    We have a week to our exams and as usual this is prep week. We always have a general week before exam as a prep week. It not like my previous school where you have no other choice but to read if you like it or not, because your teachers will be with you all the way. This school is different,it's like a week free from school activities and you decide whatever you want to do except in the school premises.

When I see others gathering and chatting instead of reading. I can only shake my head. Guess where I'm? Oh diary you're so smart. I'm in my most favorite place in the school, the library. I finally finished all my notes and I'm just talking a short break. Plus,I realized it's been weeks since I last wrote in here. So I said why not? Well I really miss Samuel alot. But thank God he messaged me and apologized earlier. I can't be known as a 'weak at heart'. I forgave him immediately because I miss him. And yes we're good. He isn't in school tho, he told me his sister is having her wedding introduction. I still don't know why he doesn't want me visiting. I haven't seen his parents once.

     "I was right,here you're. I waited for you in the cafeteria and thought you would be here. And guess I'm very smart". I looked up and guess who it was,the one I ran away from.
    I closed my diary and hid it behind my back. "What are you doing here Joseph?" I said obviously annoyed.
    "Look we need to talk. You have been avoiding me since the competition. I have been trying to apologize like crazy. You even blocked my number. That's so not fair!"
    "The last time I checked you're not so fond of me. So why does me talking to you really mean so much? Did you have a bet with your friend again?" I said irritated.
    "See I was pretending. I was just jealous because Samuel got the opportunity to ask you out first. I'm tired of always having to pretend. It's okay,I have accepted that you're with Samuel. But,I have also learnt to not keep grudges. That competition meant alot to you and I screwed it up. I have tried to be strong and not hold in my anger anytime someone insults you that's why I always leave the class when I have had enough. I'm so sorry of how horrible I have been. Honestly I have been having sleepless nights since then".
    "Oh really? You're eyes look perfectly fine to me? So much for 'having sleepless nights",I said angrily.
      "I took sleeping pills okay. You should have seen me on Saturday. Won't you atleast forgive me so I can sleep without my 'pills", he said air quoting. And for once,I smiled at him genuinely.
    "It's okay I forgive you now go away so I can read"
   "You smiled at him,do boys blush? Because I'm shy", he said face palming himself.
    "And I thought Sofia was dramatic. You both should probably get married. Perfect match".
   "Hell no,I will die before I can even say 'yes I do' so don't go there abeg". I laughed.
    "How did you find me here?"
   "Where else would a girl who tops the class favorite place be when she is missing in class?"
    "Oh I see, little Mr smart. Now let me do what I'm here for. You're distracting me".
    "I'm sorry I was just hoping we should seal it off as being you know, friends?".
    "Nope".
  "But why?"
"Nothing I just want to read"
   "You know I don't take no for an answer", he smiled mischievously. And before I could say anything my diary was snatched away from me.
    "Stop it, that's one thing I won't ever joke with. Now give it back".
    "Oh I see,a diary. Your diary,I was wondering why you hid it when you saw me. I will love to know what's in it. But I won't glance through unless you permit me".
   "Just give it back to me Joseph, please",I said trying to reach it but he was too tall and yes the book was above his head. Thankyou lord for making me 5'2 because I have to suffer for it everyday.
     "You're way to short. As smart as you're. You still don't know the important of beans? Anyways,I will give it back once you make me your friend".
     "Friendship isn't by force but a choice Joseph. Now give me back my diary".
   "In that case collect your precious diary back isn't by force but a choice too Treasure" And with that he started to walk away.
     I called out desperately,"We're friends now. Now give me my diary annoying ass".
   He turned back and smiled at me. Then headed towards me and handed over my diary.
   "I want to read with my new friend", Joseph said and jammed his hands together. First he smiled at me. Now he wants to read with me.
