-The next day-

Today I arrived at school with jay since he insisted on driving us to school. We walk into the school entrance with every eyes gawking at us as we walked through hallway holding hands.

I saw Jahari trying to take something out of his locker, I tried waving at him but he paid no attention to me so I just awkwardly put my hands down.

"Nasuka you owe me ! Oo what's going on here?, why were your hands held together with jays?" Don't tell me- no way? And you didn't tell us! * Misha exclaimed*

Mhm, well technically no one really knows about it

We aren't "no one" homegirl * Savy said*

I know, I know but I didn't know how to talk to you guys about it sorry

It's all forgiven Mhm * Misha added* But.. where were you yesterday, your mom called me, talking about you aren't home? "Oh sorry about that, I decided to stay at jays house for the day"

Nasuka you better tell us everything, don't leave nun out, like nothing.

I will tell you guys everything later, now I have to get to class

*****

Oh Jahari! there's an empty seat here. "Hi Nasuka, ion see you waving at me but how are you?"

I'm good just haven't seen you in a while..

Oh um I just had something to sort out

Do you want to talk about it ?

No it's been straightened out

But what's that about you holding jays hands?

Haha oh jay asked me out, so we're dating now

"Wow that was quick"

Yea I guess but do you want to come over later and get some studying done together

Nah i think i'll sit this one out, i'mma probably play some games or something.

okay then.. ......what about your mom, haven't seen her in a while food

you know she asked about you she said that she misses you

aw tell her i miss her too

surly will do ma'am

after minutes on that dreadful bus I felt as if things felt more awkward than before, he seemed rather Disappointed the more I talked about jay, I see no reason why he should be sad, its not like he likes me is it?

*****


oh Nne you're back from school? "yes mom, i am so exhausted, oh mama did you happen to talk to Jahari's mom yet?"

"yes- she came back on Sunday, ehe.. speaking of Sunday, where were you?"

my heart started racing, with sweat dripping down my palms" mom i thought Savy told you. i came home but no one was at there yet, so i decided to go to her house since we had a project assigned to us to complete.

Ehe and you didn't think to inform me nwa

Nwa?"*nwa= child"

sorry mom, it totally skipped my mind

It better not happen again Amanda what did she do this time?

caution your daughter peter!

There's nothing to caution her about, she's in her teenage years let her have some fun, she said she went to her friends house to study, i don't think there's anything wrong with that.

okay guys leave my kitchen "thanks dad, love you guys and i'll go upstairs haha"

*******

"ring, ring, ring"

oh hi jay

sup b, what was you doing taking this long to answer my call?

my bad i was taking a shower

Ooo lemme join?

Uhhh* no?

what.. ain't like it's something ion seen before

nuh uh jay if you keep acting like this, you most definitely are not going to see it again

Aight lemme pattern up A little bit then, how have you been?

I'm good i just have some studying to do.

lemme come through and help you with that

"Boi" please you are studying to become a phycologist, how could you possibly help me with this?

first of all ouch, second of all, what does studying have to do with what i major in?

I guess you are right, but my parents still won't let a boy come over

then you can come to me..., we can study together and possibly take that shower again later but this time together? " i know you missed me."

I saw you today, see now you love me so much, won't be surprised if you're obsessed with me.

why wouldn't i be obsessed? you are my girlfriend after all.

Okay give me Afew minutes let me get ready and come

******

Jay are you there?

Yes coming!

Hello and how are you?

Considering you left me standing out the door for a few minutes, you surely have a lot of making up to do.

sorry b, i was trying to wash my hair before you came.

I've always wanted to do your hair- can i do them?

aren't you here to study? besides didn't know you could braid hair.

jay i am Nigerian what do you expect haha

Aight aight we can braid my hair another time but come in, my parents still aren't home yet so you can go up to my room, whilst i finish off with drying my hair.

okay that shouldn't be a problem then

*****

jay you have A lot of hair. "Oh do I?"

yes you do, how long have you been growing it ?

for quite a while now, I've always liked the sound of an afro even though i'll still look good regardless"

haha cocky much, but hey you might be right.

of course i am, but what are you studying b

i have a test for biology coming up which guarantee's my whole entire mark for the subject, moreover, I've managed to figure out the concept for some of the things that will come out in the test, so i think I am fully ready for it. "oh what about that shower you've asked about on call?"

"nah we can just stay in bed, watch a movie, or something skip the shower since y've already taken a shower " that was eventually the last part of our conversation until we decided to cuddle in each others arms till it was time to get home.
