Twisted

A little bit of school

Claire sat alone at the students mess looking at the undesirable cheap meal that she had just bought.

It really tasted terrible but as she was going on about her troubles someone smacked her head so hard from behind.

She woke up determined to tear up the culprit but her rage went down when she saw her best friend shila standing at the back.

She had with her a shopping bag which a rather salivating sweet aroma ascended to Claire's nostrils.

"What's in there?" She asked pointing at the shopping bag at shila's hand.

Shila rolled her eyes, took a sit and removed two packets of french fries and some fried chicken. She and Claire began devouring their meal.

"Why did you ditch me?" Began shila.

"Sorry girl but I had to comfort Erick after they lost their match."

"Anyways, I met this guy..."

Shila got interrupted before she could even finish her sentence. She was already used to the habit of her friend asking too many questions during interesting conversations.

"Who?"

"Tim." She said with a smile on her face.

"The footballer?"

"Yap."

Just then Clair tapped on shila's hands and pointed for her to look back.

"It's Mike."

They both ran out of the students mess and they didn't stop until they felt that they were safe far away from him.

She was still panting and the water from her handbag didn't seem to calm her down.

"We can't keep on running away from him." Claire suggested.

"Yes we can. Just one more year and we will be out of here."

"You know I once heard that that entourage he walks with once beat up a girl who refused to sleep with Mike."

Shila looked at her friend.

"You have never been more stupid."

Mike was the son of a prominent Governor and from that, he had a huge wallet.

All the ladies craved for his attention but he seemed to give it to only one girl, shila.

For some reasons, shila was never interested in him. She even wished that he would believe the rumors circulating all over the class that she was a lesbian and actually dating Claire.

The two were besties, roommates and never left each other's side but people misunderstood this.

Mike never took an intrest in the rumors and since he transferred into the campus, he had a soft spot for shila.

Claire was also attractive but due to the rumors no guy dared to approach her. Fortunately her cousin from the army introduced her to Erick where she found love

Shila looked at her watch.

"Shit! We will be late for Mr. Lumumba's class."

They again had to run all the way to the science block. They were sweating when they got to class but luckily, the lecturer was not yet in.

"I'll tell you about Tim later."

Just then, the lecturer walked in. He looked across the room and he was about to close the door when Mike and his friends walked in.

"Where were you!" He asked angrily looking at the upcoming veterinarians.

All of them were ordered to leave the class except for Mike. Not even the lectures wanted to mess with him because they knew at the end of the day, they might put some loose change in their pockets.

Mike took his sit at the back of the class where he could clearly see shila from behind. Her beautiful long hair and body.

Occasionally she cought him staring. This annoyed her and she could not wait for the session to end.

Mike had only been at the school for two months but he was already a parasite to her.

The lecturer left them an assignment and then left the class. Mike shot up from his seat and went straight to the door.

He ordered everyone out except for shila.

Shila held Claire's hand for her to remain behind. Mike looked straight into Claire's eyes with pure anger. How dare she disrespect his command.

"I told you to leave." Mike told Claire pulling a chair right next to Shila.

"She stays where I stay." Shila said confidently without fear.

Mike looked at her as he tried to shoot his shot. He also tried to sound confident although deep inside he was frightened.

"I'm not the devil, you know."

"Yeah but you do act like him." She countered his first strike.

"All I'm trying to say is that I'm not the way people perceive me to be. I'm just asking for friendship, for a chance to get to know you and vice versa.

This time his words were right on target. Shila was silent for some few seconds. The scared Claire looking at her.

"Yeah I'll give you a chance to know me but only as friends."

It was not the answer that he was hoping for but atleast he got somewhere. His victory dance had to wait for a little while.

"Can I drive you home?" He offered.

" Thanks but I'm going to the market." Shila replied.

"Baby steps bro." Claire finally got the guts to interfere into their conversation.

Mike gave her the cold stare and she ran and hid behind shila.

"Relax, I'm not going to hit you and shila, lucky for you I'm also heading to the market."

"Fuck!" She thought to herself. She had put herself right into his trap and she had no option but to accompany him to his black V8. Well atleast she thought it was the V8.

Claire was excited as she would tag along with her friend.

"Finally some victory dance." Mike thought to himself as he put on a smirk.

They got to the parking lot where the posh German machine was parked.

"Ooh! It's a Mercedes Benz and no body guards." She found herself saying this out loudly.

Mike smiled and opened the door to the two ladies then he got into the driver's seat.

He ignited the 4.5 million engine machine and cruised his way swiftly out of the parking lot heading to the market.
