Zimele's POV

I was gobsmacked. The tingles i felt on my lips were the only thing convincing me this was real and her scent that was still lingering in the air.  A light chuckle escaped and i started jumping up and down. I had never been this happy in a while. I had a girlfriend now. And she did not even care about my condition. Which was something i always had to hide or play off as me wanting to wear a strap-on all the time.

People always had some choice words for something i could not control. But that does not matter because i have a girlfriend now! I had seen her before on campus and in class but i had never conversed with her.  I would ogle from afar (usually sitting behind her). Her demeanour intrigued me.

She kept to herself almost all the time. The only way you'd hear her speak was if she were talking to her best friend or you would ask her something related to the lesson. She always wore the same neutral expression on her round face. Her eyebrows would twitch if ever she was not understanding something. Saw that when we had to do presentations.

She just kept to herself and minded her own business. Which was a wild thing to see because i feel as if at university, everyone wants to experience everything(or everyone) all at once. She stuck out from everyone but you would never notice her unless you really took your time to look around. Even in the classes we had together, she never willingly engaged. Just only when reffered to by the professor(s).

I was in my head for a while there in the empty parking lot until i realised i could be going back to my room since i no longer had classes today. But i wanted to do something for Zama. But what would it be...

Hannah!

I set out to find her best friend. Maybe she can give me something i can work with. It was not a hard task to find her. She was at the cafeteria, which was my first guess because that is usually where they wait for each other if one of them has a class. I wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans and took a deep breath. I hope she will not think I'm a creep, just asking about her best friend even though she is not around right now.

She had pink headphones on and i could tell by the way she was bopping to the music that she genuinely enjoyed it. I just had to disturb her for a little bit. I tapped her shoulder lightly so as not to scare her.  She froze for a second while removing her headphones. She seemed to relax when she saw that it was only me.

"Oh hey! You scared me"

I laughed a little along with her. She set her headphones and gestured to the chair across from her. I accepted her nonverbal invitation for me to sit. Soon as i sat down, she had paused her music and she was looking at me with her brown eyes full of confusion.

"I'm sure you're wondering why I am here..."
"Please enlighten me"

I cleared my throat. Now was not the time to be anxious.

"Well uh, i do not think my- i mean Zama has told you about..."
"About??"

Her eyes widened.

"That sly bitch! Are you guys a thing now?"

I rubbed my neck nervously and nodded lightly to answer her question. She adorned a huge grin and clasped her perfectly manicured hands together. Judging by the way she was wiggling side to side, she was happy.

"Oh finally! I have been trying to get her to date or something for the longest time! I'm so happy for you guys but when did this happen?"
"About 25 minutes ago"
"Have you guys did the nasty?"

She said, lowering her voice at that last part. I knew Zama had not told her anything yet so i just shrugged.

"Okay then it's fine, I'll ask my bestie! She'll tell me, i hope"
"But uh i actually wanted to ask you something Hannah"
