"The nurse is absent but I'll try to get the ice pack, that will serve as a substitute and maybe reduce the ache."

The kind guy, he introduced himself as Nathan, but on first meeting after we left the cafeteria, his polite and friendly welcome replaced his actual name. According to him, the nurse on duty was absent.

Placing a palm on my chin I felt the sting bruise and the ache doubled.

"Okay thanks" I appreciated his efforts, even though he didn't care he still pretended to at least. But I doubt this was pretence because, his gestures seemed too genuine and he even offered me a lollipop, I tried declining but he persisted.

"Nathan excuse us." After wallowing in utmost silence and staring outside of the window, with folded arms and stoic stance, Jared finally spoke.

"I was just about to, and besides stop sounding like Mr Okoye,he's always so grumpy even while teaching an awesome subject like Economics." He said, receding with one hand waving a goodbye, and the other gently held the lollipop stick.

"Ouch" He yelped in pain, as a result of bumping into the wall.

Disadvantage of praising Economics

"It serves you right" Jared said, not taking his eyes off the window view, as I wondered what was so fascinating to keep his attention and better, calm.

"Ordinary sorry you cannot vomit" Nathan replied, rubbing the back of his head as I took a more closer look at his slight curls dyed cream.

Then I noticed that this school permits any hairstyle especially for the boys, the few have come across are on curls or dyed hair like Damicute and Nathan.

"I can't waste my sorry and next time don't walk backwards," Jared said, pausing briefly. "Okay enough, now get out it's pass break time." He yelled.

"But the ice pack"Nathan reminded him.

"Forget about that, Mr Okoye is already in class and it's over twenty minutes now."

"I'm aware but you're also ditching class" Nathan said. The staring contest between the boys seemed to have lasted for about a minute, because the silent communication changed Nathan's mind as he left.

Jared stood unfixed, he was proper, fine to be more specific but his intimidating aura mixed, with a cold vibe was a strong wall he had built in the social aspect, that I noticed.

He was clad in the school uniform as he's supposed to be, a black blazer designed with some white stripes on a white long sleeve, paired with a black tie, well ironed black trouser and shoes that looked too expensive to be worn to school, in my opinion.

In all he was decent and his trimmed haircut couldn't me more cute.

Instead of thanking him, you're ogling his appearance.

Then I remembered, after the whole cafeteria incident I didn't even thank him properly.

But how do I begin?

"When you're done staring, name your price."

An environment that was once enveloped with awkward silence and the slight whooshing of the wind, now replaced itself with confusion. His last statement repeatedly echoed.
