Approaching Her

chapter two

My mother was smiling, perhaps having done something extraordinary with this in mind and walked with pride in me. 

"Your mother said you are moving to a new school in Canada." The principal said smiling "what is good about that?" I thought looking at him in disgust,mom stands up shakes hands with the man as we exist went to get my bag and bid my farewell to my classmate surprising enough Emily wasn't in class so I had to ask mother to wait behind as I rush to go look for her to go look for her and share the good news with her, I searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her so I went to the rooftop and screamed out in frustration unknowing she as being watching me from behind the big container. Just when I was about to leave after drying my tears there at that moment the she devil stands from behind laughing turning around in shock.

"What the fuck Emily ?" I was startled by her attitude, not moving an inch from where she stood .

" I see you are going to another school without me" she says finally taking a step. I said nothing because I was afraid I might end up breaking up in tears so I ignored her trying to walk out on her.

" Don't you dare walk out on me!!" She snapped but ignored her but the devilish "attractive" side of  her pulled me back, I needed to take a final look to be able to get over her. That's if I can.

" Yes, what does it affect you? " I asked by now mom was alreading ringing my phone but Ignored it… by the type I could look up she already raised her head up like seriously I saw something like tears in her eyes so I had to pull her close to see if it's really what I thought it was.

"Why are you crying?" I asked, staring at her with numerous thoughts running through my head.

"It's none of your business !" She runs away "could she be in love with me!!" No way I thought as I step down promising myself never to breakdown because of a mere woman , summoning courage I walked down, mother being a sharp shooter must have noticed my pain or affliction because soon as we were set to go she devil comes out of the washroom cleaning her puffy eyes which probably tells she is being crying again.

"But why could she be crying ?.. ever since her dad came back along with her twin sister the principal had made sure no one built her … what could it be? " All these are questions running through my mind that I didn't even know or hear what mother was talking or asking for my opinion on the issue.

" What is that ? " She asks the moment we step down from the car.

" It's nothing. " I answered walking towards my room before I was stopped by dad… jezz I never knew he was around… my father is a disciplinary, he takes no nonessess as a  result of this we his kids  "just three" tries not to tamper with him or do anything to get on his bad side though we can't be perfect no matter  how much we try he is never satisfied the only thing that satisfied him is our grade.

"Are you in love?!" He asked me, surprised how he was able to guess right, but I ignored him knowing fully well that he is the kind that doesn't believe in love nor the nature of friendship, we call him "gallant Soldier".

"I asked you a question son " he says calmly, on a good day I could be surprised but today was just not the day. On the other hand I could have been happy. I would be reuniting with my sister because I have missed them so much but then the other side of me doesn't want to go.

I tried passing by him but he pulled me back.

"Come along with me !" He says in an authoritative tone I followed without question we stopped at the garden.

"Sit " he says I sat beside him he turns to face me.

"I know you are in love … ,I won't condemn you because I understand but I want you to do these things for me can you ?" He concluded with a question, are you kidding me I thought but noded in approval.

" Never you fight over a woman, the best you can do for a loved one is to fight for them, never let them see your weakness because in the nearest future they will use it against you … ,the moment you start investing all your earning on a woman with zero ambition you will end up with regret…" he says smiling, my father doesn't smile that much unless he is short of words.

" I want to make use of these words, don't chase after woman, love and friendship the true ones will come find you when the right time comes. "He said standing up he pats my back before existing with his new words I found courage and stood up with a new profound strength walked in and starts packing my clothes, I did duties in the house and bid my father farewell as he exist for his work place.
