chapter 8

Inioluwa's pov

"Ini, are you good?"
My roommate havilah asked "you look really down "
She must've noticed how dull my face looked. I wouldn't lie ,I knew I looked really dull, the stress was too much to handle and everything that had happened around me was annoying.
"I'm just tired".

"But you'll be fine right?"

"Of course I will "I said, forcing out a smile .

It's sunday afternoon, we had returned from the school chapel  few minutes ago, I laid on my bed...I never felt so down.
The school got annoying as days went by, the principals orders, the teachers notes and assignments, always having to control students and even worse my mates and the fact half of them , especially the guys didn't take me serious was the most annoying.
Then Morgan....
Everytime I thought about him,I'd either get sad or be angry at myself,I hated what he did to me but I just couldn't stop loving him .

"My princess, you're just the prettiest, I'm so lucky to have you"

He said those words to me, and now I ask myself if he really meant that or he just wanted to use me.

I messed up, I fell for his tricks really bad. I should've gotten the hint when he said he wanted us to be a secret but I was really blinded by his charms. I had loved Morgan way before he even approached me, I always wished he'd notice me and when he finally did, I vowed to do anything to make us work.

"If you ever leave,ini ...to be honest,I don't think I'll be able to cope"

"You're so perfect, I can't wait for ss3 ...when I'd finally tell everyone... you're the one I love"

"You're so perfect,do you know I could stare at you all day?"

"I still think of every intimate moment I've had with you"

Damnn, why would he say all those words to me,when he didn't mean it.
I could feel tears swell up my eyes,this was what happened whenever I thought about Morgan. And seeing him happy and openly flirting with girls has made me wondered if he even felt an ounce of guilt. Crying about him almost every night but he probably doesn't care about me...
That's right, I should've known he didn't care about anyone except Marilyn
He always said she's his best friend but something about them felt off.  the fact almost half of the students are convinced they are dating made it more weird,and the fact he didn't address it didn't sit right to me .
I wouldn't even be surprised if they ended up dating each other.just thinking about that had hurt me.
But what was so special about Marilyn?
I would give up alot of things,if it'll lead to Morgan treating me the same way he treats Marilyn.
If I wanted to switch bodies with anyone,it would be Marilyn...that's a stupid thought but I wanted to know what being effortlessly pretty felt like.

I brushed off the thoughts and sat up

"Iniiiiii"

Omoshola...,what was she doing in this room, I didn't notice that she had been in my room,she was seated on havilah's bed .

"Heyyy"I replied,as she came closer to my bed
"I love your pink hoodie"I said touching the herm of her cloth
"Guess who got it for me"
I couldn't guess, alot of guys liked omoshola and they always got her gifts

"Just talk ..you know I can't keep up with your hoes"
She laughed and sat on my bed"it's Marvin oo...."

Marvin?,2nd guy ranking the play boy list"so he likes you?"

"I'm not sure,but even if he does, I don't think I like him"

"What do you even mean, Marvin is a rich and hot guy, didn't you see the car he posted on his status last holiday?" I said, reminding omoshola of the post of Marvin's Prada that was the talk last holiday.

"So?...I should now fall on the floor and lick his feet"

"I wonder who you even like in this your life,you're always using boys"

"Well I have my eyes on Pedro...I love good boys and he doesn't seem to be a man whore,he dont even talk to any girl "

I almost laughed out but I held it because I noticed how serious she looked"oh really...Pedro?"

"All I have to do is constantly train with him,yk how invested he is in sports,from there he'll get used to me and boomm...he'd be wrapped round my fingers "

"Well I trust you"
I didn't...I only said that to make her happy, everyone knew Pedro, he didn't look interested in anyone and I had never seen him have a conversation with any girl or wait
That reminded me of Friday,and the new ship of Pedro and Marilyn "yk they are shipping Marilyn and Pedro now"

Tchhhhhh"she heaved a sigh so loud"there is no time they are not shipping that idiot with anyone"

That was rude, I and Marilyn weren't friends but I would never talk bad about her "omoshola...that's rude"

"I really don't care, I can't stand Marilyn,it's because of her and her two disciples I left that room, she has been moody and the two puppets has been killing themselves to make her happy "

"It's because they are her friends and that's what friends do"

"Shutt it ini , don't pretend like you don't know how pretentious Marilyn is...that's how during sports, upon she's one of the best athletes... she started acting weak so Pedro would help her"

"You never know...I've never seen Marilyn throw herself at Pedro,so she definitely didn't do it for his attention "

"It's the way you're defending her for me"

That's right, I didn't even know why I was defending her, I had no reason to.

"I'm not defending,I'm just saying "

"Well whatever "omoshola replied" how about you, which guy has  asked you out"

"Everything is not about guys and I'm not interested in anyone "

"Shhh.... just say no one asked you out yet"she said jokingly but yet it hit me
No guy had ever asked me out and the only guy that got involved with me was Morgan.
Did I look weird?
Was that the reason why Morgan wanted everything a secret?
I had  already convinced myself that he found me embarrassing to date.
But well, as much as that situation made me sad, there is still more to life

Then my thought went back to Marilyn?
I had always seen her happy ,so what could possibly make her moody?
Infact...why did I even care?
I'm also moody and even if she knew
I'm certain she won't care.

Everything here is always problematic.but I'll scale through
I'd soon leave Charleston high anyways

How do you guys see inioluwa's pov
