Our Naija Babe

Chapter 4 : It is what it is

I was shamelessly checking out somebody's son....he was also wearing the same colour of shirt as me... he sat on the chair like he owned the area......my eyes roamed from his full hair....not afro tho... to his chocolate brown eyes. You know if you read novels well, the total look and aura of a bad boy was oozing all over him..... somebody stop me from gawking at this handsome boy.....I'm not so good with description but I hope you get my point....wait o.....I wasn't the only one staring....he was also staring at me too. But who wouldn't stare back when a total stranger was looking at them like a plate of ice cream.

"Erm......do you know me?" I ask. Ehheheheh...that's the dumbest thing you've come up with  my subconscious mocked. But all die na die.

"No I don't" he simply says. Strange! For one I thought he was going to snub me like the main character in novels do......but still his face was expressionless.

"Oh sorry I thought you looked familiar" I say and turn to the front..... could today get any weirder

"You two know each other?" Rachael asks....she was now sitting beside me. How did she even get there.

" No we don't"

" Then what's that weird eyecontact you both shared now"she whispers" and besides he is still looking at you" she added. I instantly turned around and our eyes locked again.....I quickly looked away to avoid any weird exchange again. Throughout the class....I couldn't really concentrate.....thank God for grace cause this is physics we are talking about.....I never liked the subject especially when my secondary school physics teachers were never available to teach us in class. But here I was understanding everything without even paying full attention....is God not wonderfuuuuu

  

     I stared at the question in front of me. Just 10 minutes to go and I'll be out of this class...not like I was Focused self....I mean how could I concentrate when someone eyes were drilling hole inside my head.

" Okay turn the class work to assignment...to be submitted first thing tomorrow morning" the old man said leaving the class

I finished solving the question and put my head on my table. Today has been stressful so far and I really don't want tomorrow to be like that.

"Daniella you be scholar o". It was Rex. He was checking out my physics note.

"I pray" I simply said wanting everyone to just leave me. I was just so stressed.

" Please explain this number 2 for me"Rex says. I reluctantly raised my head from the table and tried my best to explain to him. Luckily, Rex was a smart kid and he understood everything I taught him.

I subconsciously turned to the back and I caught him....I mean the light boy making some funny gesture towards me. They were obviously talking about me. His face gave off expressions this time....it was clearly hate. What did I do to the handsome god to deserve such disdainful look....and if it was possible my energy level just went down from 0 to -100.

His POV

I hate this program. Besides I was forced by my uncle to come for the program. The maths teacher was not even helping matters. He was just talking to the board not caring if we understood.

" Excuse me sir" A very dark boy called his attention." I really don't understand the last line"

"You can't understand....you were probably on your phone when I was explaining.....see the way you're dressed like a nuisance.....if you continue like this you can never make it" ahhh....the whole class were mumuring God forbid. The poor guy just sat down probably thinking he was a failure.

" How can only you among everybody not understand this simple line"  God abeg o....I don't even understand anything he wrote on the board. When will this torture of a class even end. We've been sitting for close to 2 hours now and as if the teacher could read my pain.....he left the class not after giving us assignments though.

"Engineering students you have to move to basement for your next class" one short woman announced after the maths teacher had left the class.

I walk to basement not talking to anyone. I liked my own space. I hated noise. In fact I preferred being alone. And yes in an introvert. A very shy one too. I find basement and I entered the hall

"How far boss" I greet the guy beside me.

"I just dey my guy" the guy replied. Now dear reader, another thing peculiar to us in naija, popular among the boys is that we might not even know each other's name but we would surely vibe well.

Just then my eyes caught her. Wow!. This was my first time seeing a beautiful dark girl. She had small eyes....with....just forget about the description. She is beautiful. We were even wearing matching shirts. Her beautiful eyes locked my own as if they were searching through my soul. She had cute long nose and small lips on her beautiful face. All the warning bells in my head went off and like that we kept staring at each other. It was like time stopped for a moment

"Erm....do you know me" she asks. Of course I knew she was going to ask with the way I was staring at her. And As if I was released from a trance I became shy and gave an expressionless face...not wanting to look like a pervert to her.

" No I don't" I say. But I wanted to be. I wanted her to be friend so bad but I was just too shy to say it.

" Oh sorry....I thought you looked familiar" she says again then turn back to mind her business. I kept looking at her awestruck and shocked. I knew black was beautiful and it amazed me that I was seeing one live.

"You know each other?" The guy beside me ask

"No"

I couldn't stop staring at her and I didn't like the feeling. She was a stranger and she shouldn't have any effect on me. Our physics teacher came in and I didn't pay attention....I was looking at her. Physics have never been a problem for me so I understood everything our teacher taught.

After the class, a thin guy walked up to her and she like explained stuffs to him.

" Buh omo this girl is fine" I muttered

"Which girl" the guy beside me asks...

"That one" I say gesturing towards her, because I didn't want her to find out I was checking her out to avoid see finish. Just then she turned around to look at me and I quickly put on a cold expression.....I didn't want her to get the wrong idea but it seems I just did that....cause her face went from a smiling one to a sad one and confused look. I instantly felt guilty....buh it is what it is....
