The Final Year (PROJECT 2.0)

Flawed

After Theresa pruned out every details that had to do with Tega Peters out of me, she left me alone not before asking for his phone number.

I told her that she was not the type that ran after guys but she said Tega was an exception.

Tega? This Tega?

I almost puked when she started comparing Tega to Keith Powers and Big Sean. She even coined a nickname for him, and it sounded insane to my hearing.

Tega the Tiger...

This girl wants to make me puke.

"I can't believe they are allowed to wear long braids while hair attachments ain't allowed in our school!" Theresa complained beside me bitterly glaring at the pretty braids and faux locks the female students of Ivy League were adorning on their heads.

"School is not a fashion house T" Akorede advised from the other side of me but i think it must have came out the wrong way as she told him to shut it.

Not only were they on long braids, some of the guys actually had piercings in their ears which they were rocking boldly. If you try that in SJC, you are definitely facing the school disciplinary committee.

As if that wasn't enough, they were with phones.. Expensive looking ones. Theresa bemoaned of our sufferings in SJC and Faramade tried his best in petting her, trying to tell her not to feel bad about it.

She made a promise to herself to launch a campaign against 'no personal phones in school' policy, then also have a talk with the school board on allowing the student to express themselves however they want or seem fit, in a moderate manner of course .

We were seated on the bleachers alright and we had a good view of the field. It was right at the front middle seats, their warm ups were about to end and the match starts really soon.

"The girl you nodded in greeting at in the hallway" Theresa nodded for me to continue "you know her?"

"That is April"

Yes! Now i remember the name.

No wonder she looked familiar.

The girl bearing a name with the fourth month of the year.

Tega's crush.

"April?"

"Yeah. April Rowland... She is pretty cool and laid back" she said with a shrug.

I nodded.

"And very pretty too"

She smiled at my words.

"Yes. And very pretty too. Although she is bad at meeting new people, you know socializing or making friends making people think she is a snub not that she had great ones and also a douche for a boyfriend"

"Why do you say that? Is he-"

"No, he is not cheating on her if that's what you think. I just find him overbearing... I feel like he is obsessed with her honestly with his overprotective and jealous streak. He is an ass to everyone. As long as you are not April.. You are under him cause he sort of worship her... Their relationship is complicated"

I nodded. Tega once told me they had been betrothed from a young age but obsessed with her? Now that is new.

"Interesting.. " I mused. "and how do you know this?"

"We live in the same neighborhood and talk once in a while, i have seen them together a lot of times. What is more interesting is that they are like word and opposite, i mean he is like an oversized gorilla while the poor thing looked like a deer beside him"
