Little Do You Know

6: TRANSFER STUDENT.

I got to school early the next day.

I kept replaying my memory of what Alex said to me the previous day.

"He wasn't lying, you looked really pretty today."

My cheeks were tired of blushing.

I greeted a few coursemates that crossed my path and strolled to my seat. Enny and I often sat in the second row to avoid distractions.

Dropping my bag, I brought out my MCB 324 notebook and sat down. We had four lectures that day, including a practical class.

Enny hadn't arrived. Her seat was empty. I placed one of my notebooks on her chair so that no one would take her space.

What's keeping her late? I have tons of things to tell her!

I withdrew my cellphone from my bag and dialed her number. It rang for a few seconds before she picked.

"My loooove!" She sounded so happy on the phone.

"Yes, are you still at home?"

"Noooo." She answered, still maintaining the joyous tone.

"Where are you?"

"Right behind you!"

Like a flash, she suddenly appeared.

"Look who's worried about me!" She cried out, handing over my book to me as she sat.

"Who is worried?" I grinned.

"So how far with Alex? I wanted to call you yesterday, but I forgot." She whispered.

"You're always forgetting." I chuckled.

"Seriously, I really forgot this time." A deep furrow appeared on her forehead.

"You said this too last time." I burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"You know I'm always busy at home."

"Yes, with movies." I sneered.

"Oya, I apologize. Gist me already!"

I breathed in and out and smiled.

"That one is gist for later. I have something more important to tell you." I moved closer to her.

"Hehe, see me see wahala. What could be so important?" She replied, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"I came to school yesterday to meet Alex."

"Shebi you said that one is gist for later?"

"Calm down. I'm driving somewhere."

"Toor."

"I was looking for him when I ran into Samuel."

"My Samuel?"

"Yes, but you won't want to call him yours again after I tell you this."

I noticed the change of countenance on Enny's face.

"Was he with another girl?"

"He told me I was pretty, like how anyone else who saw me would have said. I thanked him and was about to leave when he said he needed a kiss."

"A what?" She folded her arms.

"I initially thought he was drunk until he pulled me and kissed my forehead. I was so shocked. It was at that moment Alex..."

Enny was no longer seated.

"Where are you going?"

"To meet him, of course. Why would he do that nonsense to my best friend?"
