Life SUCKS.

I was a bet.

      It's Wednesday morning. I didn't want to miss any alone time with Samuel,so I took a bus for the first time ever since I started schooling there. The crazy things you can do for a boy, sometimes amaze me. It seems mother nature was against me. The day I decide to finally take a bus to school. That's the day the road had to be blocked. And I thought today will be my lucky day. The bus driver had to eventually take a longer route and funny enough,if I had trekked that the exact time I would have gotten to school. Way to go Treasure. You just wasted a whole N150 for a boy!

    I feel like slapping myself hard but before I could I say Joseph running towards me. I was hoping it would have been Samuel. He must be here to scold me for leaving school yesterday without him. Normally,he made his driver take the other route to his house everyday so he could drop me off. Who am I to complain. I mean,who doesn't like free rides?
     "Don't bump into me Joseph. Why are you running so fast?" But I was too late. He bumped into me and thank goodness for my good posture or I would have kissed the grass this early morning.  This isn't what I want,I just want to talk to Samuel.

    "What do you want Joseph. I'm sorry I went home without you. It's just that something came up and you were taking too long in the toilet,so I left. The only person I want to talk to right now is Samuel". I said already walking ahead of him, towards our classroom. There is still enough time before assembly.
    "Yes about him,you need to know something. Something huge and I want you to trust me on this one", he said dragging me along with him to an empty classroom.
    
    "I hope my Sam is alright? What's so huge you won't even let me,go to class and relax for a bit. How long have you been waiting for me?".
     "I actually called you when I didn't find you in class. But you wouldn't pick your phone up. Like why do you even have a phone? I was so worried about you that I even drove all the way to your house to talk to you. But you weren't home. But when I was going over to your place and was looking out the window incase you decided to trek. But no,you were suddenly invincible I couldn't find you. I waited a little while then had to go home. I even left a message for you on WhatsApp".

   
    "You went through all these for me? But why? I'm sorry I was too tired to come online yesterday. But you can tell me now. I'm very curious. What's it?" I said having my seat at the back of the class and he joined me.
     "Yesterday when I went to the toilet immediately after closing. I heard Wole and David, Samuel's gees, talking about some bet.

    As the one who likes to mind his business. I ignored them,until I heard your name. Then I had to eaves drop. And they were saying today is the last day for the bet. If Samuel doesn't do it, he will finally have to talk his parents into giving him half his inheritance to give to them and all. You know Samuel dad is by far richer than theirs. In fact,their fathers are both employees in his father's company. It was just a silly bet they made him make when he was drunk in Ss1. I was confused at first,not knowing how this concerns you. Until Woke called Samuel to ask if he has slept with you. And then I did the additions and the subtractions and I knew that was the bet.

    How can people be so stupid to the extent of betting over sleeping with and dumping a girl. Like, how can you even find joy in it in the first place? I was so angry. Sofia was right! Samuel isn't good for you. I'm pretty sure he started avoiding you because he knew you were difficult. No matter how weak they think you're. You can never give in to doing the wrong thing. I just wanted you to know. It's been bothering me since I heard it. I believe God was the one that sent me into the toilet at that time!". Immediately he was done,it was like his words was taking time for me to process it.
   'I was a bet'. Samuel doesn't love me? No he does. It all just lies.

   "Treasure,are you still there?" Joseph asked shaking me. And I screamed out of frustration. "You were too late Joseph".
