Zayne.

I frowned after Amir's call. He wanted me to come and join him in the class since he was bored. Imagine, calling me all the way from the swimming pool to the class. That's like walking all over the earth!

I took my time though. I wasn't going to drain my energy in walking too fast. I took my time to admire the things around me. From nature, to the school's buildings to the students that walked past me.

Students whispered and murmured around me. Some pointed at me as they discussed whatever they were discussing within their little cliques, while most of the girls were openly ogling me. Not that I cared though, I've been in this school for almost three years to get used to the attention.

A girl, pretty, curvaceous and all came to me with a big smile on her face. I sighed inwardly hoping she wasn't going to talk to me. I hated talking too much, it drained my energy.

"Uhm Senior Zayne?" She greeted.

Oh brother.

I forced myself to look at her. Her friends were trembling behind her, unable to look at me in the face. The girl on the other hand, looked quite confident.

"Yes?" I replied. Most times Amir and Dayo would tell me my voice was too cold and scary, but it sounded pretty normal in my ear.

"Would you...uhm.. please c-can you b-be my valentine date?" She stammered. I raised an eyebrow at her. Valentine date? What the fuck did she take me for? Those guys that'll fall at her feet after being asked out?

Oh she got the wrong dude.

I didn't even remember valentine's Day date.

"No" I replied. Her mouth hung open slightly in shock. Then she caught herself and shut it.

"B-But why? I'm pretty, curvaceous and what every boy wants. I rejected almost all of Ss3 boys because I wanted you to be my date" she said.

Bad thinking girl.

"If you are what any boy wants, go for them" I replied dryly, eager to leave and join the guys.

"Tch, proud much" I heard one of them mutter. I stared at her, she stared back with unease. I guess she was new, that was why she said that. But I had to put her in her place.

"Hey, you are new right?" I asked, cocking my head.

"Y-Yes?" She replied.

"Do you know who I am?"

"No I don't"

I nearly smiled.

"Good. Now I'll tell you this, ask your friends who I am and when they are done telling you, come to my class and apologize to me." I said and walked away. I could hear them arguing but I didn't turn back.

When I got to the class, Amir and Dayo were discussing. I sat down on my seat which was in their midst.

"Hey man, what took you so long?" Amir asked.

"Girls" I replied dryly.

"What the- kindly rephrase that abeg" Dayo said.

"I met some Ss3 girls on the way. One of them stopped me and asked me to be her date."

"Ohhhh" they cooed and started hitting me.

"What did you say?" Amir asked. Dayo was opposite me to hear the full gist. I smiled at their full concentration. I didn't blame them though, I wasn't the one to be seen with girls.

"No" I replied.

"Damn! That was cruel na! Who is the girl anyway?" Dayo asked.

"Does it really matter?" Amir asked, eyeing Dayo a little.

"Of course it matters you goat. Only an extremely pretty girl would have the guts to ask Zayne out." Dayo said and rolled his eyes.

"Who's the girl?" He asked again.

"I don't really know her name. Just know she's pretty and curvaceous. Got this figure eight kind of shape" I answered.

"She's pretty you say? Maybe it's Zaria" Amir said.

"Zaria? Who is she?"

"Oh my gawd! Zayne!" Dayo gasped and placed his hands on chest in mock horror. Even Amir looked surprised.

"Zaria is like the prettiest girl in Ss2. She's pretty hot you know and almost all the guys in Ss3 has asked her out. Is she fair with pouty lips?" Amir asked.

"Uhm yeah? I guess" I replied. Dayo was still staring at me with that face.

"Please stop staring at me like that, you are beginning to creep me out" I said dryly.

"Well you are abnormal. I haven't seen you with a girl since" he answered.

"I told you I'm-"

"Or maybe I have. That girl you saved, Rihanna? She is gorgeous!" He exclaimed. Then he looked upwards and sighed as if in content.

"But you don't like Empress"

"Mtcheew, that girl ehn. She's a thorn in my ass. She's so commanding especially in sports." He seethed.

"But you have to admit, she's pretty good in basketball" Amir said.

"Abeg!" Dayo retorted. I smiled. I knew deep down that
