Flawsome

Chapter 4

Even when it was closing time yesterday, Tiwa and Zoya still didn't talk to me. And Tej? he just said: 'good bye see you tomorrow'. And that's not even a conversation.

His message this morning doesn't even make things better because maybe if i hadn't receive better messages from him, i wouldn't think what he sent me this morning was total cliché.

"Hey cupcake, are you okay?" Dad asked.

We are presently at the dinning eating breakfast but let's just say my behavior this morning is one of a living dead.

"I'm good dad". Instead of smiling which was the intention by the way, i ended up just opening my teeth to him with no humor.

"Uhh...... are you sick?" He looked worried. "Do you want to stay back at home and rest?" Dad ask standing up to place his palm on my fore-head in an attempt to examine my temperature.

"I'm okay dad, honestly." I told him but he doesn't look all too convinced.

You see why i love my dad so much?

"I think i'll leave for school now". I announce getting up.

"What's wrong with her? She barely ate up to five spoons." I hear dad ask on my way out.

"I have no idea". I recognize the voice to be Nathan's.

"She's being like that since she came back from school yesterday." It's Nancy voice this time before i shut the front door.

"Good morning sir, i'm ready for school now." I said to my driver (Mr. Dotun) once i reached outside.

"Okay. Good morning to you too" He replied getting up from the plastic chair he was sitting.

We had barely entered the car when Nancy and Nathan intruded.

"Don't worry Mr. Dotun, Nancy and i will drop Crystal off today." Nathan had said.

Dad must have sent them to inquire  what's wrong.

"I'll come along too." Caleb joined.

See me see wahala o! On top weytin? when i won't even be telling you guys nada.

I entered the car and Nancy joined me at the back seat. With Nathan driving and Caleb at the other front seat.

"So..... how are you Crystal?" Nathan had made the first attempt.

"Fine". I answered in a monotone.

"So its really been long we've chatted Crystal. Do you have a boyfriend now? Did he cheat? Did you break up with him? Was that the reason you were acting like a zombie during breakfast?"

Uhh.... If they were trying to be indirect with me then Caleb just ruin their plan completely with his stupid questions.

"Caleb.......!"

"Dude.........!"

Nancy and Nathan shouted his name simultaneously.

"What!? why do you yell my name!? Wasn't that the plan? to ask her questions indirectly?" Nathan whisper yell and i immediately made a mental note to ask Nancy if this is the guy she likes so much and even wasting her time imagining her forever with.

I wonder what she even see in him. I know he's got the look but really???

"And this is your definition of indirectly?" Nathan asked annoyed.

"Its okay guys." Nancy cut-in. "Since the beans has already been spilled, let ask what we want to know." And then she faced me.

And here it comes......
