On the day of the class trip I took time to pack all my clothes and food into my travelling bag with Nana's help… When I and Savannah were done we went downstairs and dad gave us money, In case we got hungry.
Jordan had a class trip too but insisted he wasn't feeling fine to go, I knew he was lying but, he might have a reason so I didn't interfere or try to annoy him. He drove us to school and once we came down he wished us good luck and drove back home before anyone could spot him
Savannah walked away and joined her friends just then; Ayesha and Maya came running to me and helped me pick up my bags as I loaded them into the school bus
“We secured a place for the three of us” Maya said
“That's nice, thank you guys for being the best” I said to both of them
“Oh it's nothing trust me it's a pleasure being your friend” Ayesha said
“Yup, bonus point” Maya added
Assembly was held and we were given Advice under safety and security and information that we'll be going to some places with the science class as well… After it was dismissed, we went on board and sat down together
We soon started moving and I immediately got hungry so I removed my cookies from my bag pack and started eating, I gave some to Maya and Ayesha. We took turns in bringing out our food and sharing it we had lot of fun and chatted and laughed others in the bus would something stop their little chit chat because they were being interrupted by our loud laughs, nothing was better than having two soulmates who understand you better than anyone else and can relate and understanding your exact feelings
We got to our first site and took a quick tour then rested. The science class came and also had a tour then joined us, Jamie joined us again and he started talking to me
“We'll excuse you two” Maya said as she held Ayesha's hand and they joined Savannah and her friends
“No please don't leave...” I tried to say but it was already too late
“Oh common don't worry about them and also you're perfectly fine with me so were you jealous when you saw me and Savie together?” Jamie asked
“Why does everyone think I'm jealous, why would I be jealous?” I said to him
“The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes” He said with a light smile “I know you like me and I feel the same but I was waiting for the right time to avoid hurt feelings” He added
“Hello, I hope you aren't dreaming, I'm Hannah not Savannah. I think you're telling your confessions to the wrong person” I said
“I'm wide awake, and I can differentiate between you and Savannah no matter how identical you look, so just stop denying me” he said
“I’m not.. it's just that- ' I tried to say
“It's nothing, I know you're scared and have a lot going on but I want to share your doubts, pain, happiness and every other thing” He said
I knew I liked Jamie but I wasn't really sure, I just started high school and just started improving on my education and this is happening, but if I rejected him I might lose our friendship and he's honestly a good and awesome friend
“Well, I'll think about it” I told him
“Waiting for positive answer” He said to me
“But wait! We have to keep this secret, or else my brother would kill you” I told him
“So we're official couples now?” he asked
“I guess so, for now yes” I said
He hugged me and thanked me, promising that he'll never hurt or disappoint me. I asked him to leave so things won't be obvious, and he did. Maya noticed he was gone so she came back and we started talking about the environment and how beauty controlled the atmosphere. It was soon time for our next trip so we went back to the bus
“Where were you Maya” Ayesha asked as she joined us
“Where me not here?” she said jokingly
Upon hearing that everyone including Mr. Paul laughed then corrected her grammar. We reached at the next stop again with the science class and Jamie came again and I begged Ayesha and Maya to permit me and they was totally fine with it, throughout the trip I was always separated from my besties because of Jamie
As soon as it was over the bus took us back to the school and our various drivers came to pick us up and take us home. Jordan didn't show up so Jamie asked us to get into his car and he'd drop me and Savannah home
We agreed and entered his car. The journey home was boring for me because he and Savannah only talked about biology, physics chemistry and other science subjects
Finally we got home I thanked him and acted as if nothing happened between us so Savannah won't suspect and start interviewing me then I rushed Inside the house
He texted me and we talked for the whole night, I haven't invested my time this much to someone especially not a boy and I felt uncertain. I ended the conversation and planned to study instead
Next day in school during break he joined us and sat near me again “What if people noticed” I said worriedly
“I don't mind but I can leave if you want” he said back
“Yes please do” I said to him and he smiled at me and left our table. I felt bad but also i also felt it was the right thing to do at that moment
“Guys I have something to tell you both” I said feeling guilty
“We already know” Ayesha said looking at Maya
“Yeah, you and Jamie are a thing” Maya said
“Oh ....” I replied completely speechless
“When were you planning to tell us? We were more like family right, you shouldn't have hid it from us we're your sisters” Maya said to me
“I know and I'm sorry” I said feeling ashamed of myself
“It's ok we understand” Ayesha said as she held my hand
“You probably had your own reasons” she added
“Yes and I promise it won't repeat itself or happen again” I promised them
It was time to go back to class and we walked to class and did our various class lessons before we went home and I freshened up, lied down and began imagining and thinking of my future. It was already second term and I was in a haste to finish school in general I was already tired of it
I switched on my phone and found messages from Jamie asking why I pushed him away, I changed the topic to avoid saying things I still wanted to keep in the dark. We talked for hours then he finally said goodnight because he was feeling sleepy.
I packed my phone aside and closed my eyes, I thought I was done and dusted with depression but it found its way back to me again and I could notice the signs again
I had everything any teenage girl would want to be happy: Good grades, loyal and understanding friends, a protective and sweet elder brother, a boyfriend, a dad who is a hero, a respective mom and the best Nana ever... But I still couldn't find everlasting happiness, I stayed up all night and told myself I'm alright, but this feeling of not loving myself arose again
Savannah came to the room and lay down complaining that she felt exhausted, all I did was say sorry and turned my face to the wall
“Hannah, I want us to be the inseparable soul sisters we used to be, I honestly miss you” she said trying to convince me with puppy eyes
“I don't know, you messed up real bad but yeah am sure we can make things right” I told her
“Thank you and I'm sorry for everything, goodnight twinnie” she thanked showing her appreciation
“Goodnight” I replied
I think things are cool between us... should I tell her I'm with Jamie now? No I shouldn't, I don't think it's the right time it could still wait just a little longer… she’s made a lot of decisions without me I’m sure this won’t be too bad so I’d rather keep it to myself for the meantime
