Being the Bad Girls Best Friend- Slowly Updating

Chapter 18

I was sleeping when I heard the alarm ringing. I screamed out loud and told Cobby to turn it off or someone will be visiting heaven unexpectedly. He told me that, until I am up from bed, he won't turn it off. So I got up and shouted, " happy?'' He replied, "I'm overjoyed. Now say a prayer and get dressed, you are going to school." "But I don't wanna go" I whined. I added, "And I don't have even have a uniform." "That's no problem, get it from Christiana now so just be fast. You have to be early for school. You've already missed a lot, and you know that you'll soon be writing your end of sem exams. As long as I know you, you can't fail any exam." What a morning speech, he was sounding like a dad.

He told me that, by the time he comes, I should have finished bathing and eating so that, I will be early to school. He left the room and I jumped right back on the bed. I do this everytime because when I get up in a haze , I get a bit rowdy. So I breathed in and out severally, said a prayer and headed towards the bathroom. When I was done bathing, I put a towel around myself and looked at myself in the mirror. I took a good look at myself and said, "Girl, you are cute and beautiful. And you should not let anyone think you are not. I mean fuck them bitches if they don't believe in you. Today must be a good day and nothing should stop that. You're going to school to learn, to get excellent grades, and to make mama and Papa proud.'' I then let out a broad smile and applied lotion on my body and combed my hair,tied it into a bun, and laid my edges. I went downstairs to get myself something to eat. Immediately I was done eating, Cobby arrived with the uniform. He said, "now that's a good girl. Now get dressed and lets bounce outta here.''

I went to change in the guest bathroom which was actually really big. After I was done, I asked Cobby if I could wear one of his shoes. He told me I could so I chose his striped red and black adidas shoes. The shoes were bigger than my feet so I had to get paper to make it comfortable, creative right? And we sat in his black corolla and left the house. I directed him to my school, Forestgroove Christian school. As we entered through the gate, Coby said, ''your school sure is big." I smiled and he parked. As I was about to get down, it was all eyes on me. And I saw Ebony running to come and hug me as she does everyday. Cobby asked me to wait and he got down to open the door for me. He was wearing a tight white plain T-shirt, and Adidas shorts. As he opened the car for me, Ebony stood without moving just looking at Cobby. Realising this, I decided to be a good friend and introduced her to him. I said, ''Ebony, meet Cobby. Cobby, Ebony. My close friend and my baby.'' Ebony couldn't stop smiling even when she was shaking hands with him. She whispered into my ears, "I could so ride him he is soo freaking hot." In case you don't know, Ebony is the girl who likes to go after boys point of correction, 'hot boys' to make friends with them or sometimes, have more than a friendly relationship with them. I told Cobby, "Thanks for the ride. Take care of yourself and I will close school by 15:00 so you can be here by that time." He nodded and smirked. He then drove out of the school .

"Ellie, how in Saint John's name did you meet that hot guy before me??" and I said, "Oh, i guess I'm way up I feel blessed'' I said lifting my arms as a sign of gratitude. She then rolled her eyes and asked, "where is Christiana by the way?''
''Don't know, don't care," I replied unconcerned. She realised that we had had an argument and asked, "you two had an argument didn't you?''

I answered that we did and asked, "how did you know?'' surprised, " I am used to you saying, Christiana said she will be in school very soon, or Christiana woke up a bit late today or Christiana didn't feel like coming to school, and not, don't know, don't care." I smiled and we walked on the staircase to our class. The class was full except that Christiana hadn't come but I still did my grand entrance. The door was closed so it was a perfect way to get attention.

Ebony and I opened the door and hit it against the door and said, "good morning class, hope you enjoyed your week without me," They all shouted Nooo, and I continued, "aww",
I said and placed my palm over my chest, "missed you guys also soo much. Have a nice day,'' I said and threw an air kiss. When I sat down, I had Kelvin come to my table for God knows what. When he came, I rolled my eyes and said, ''what?'' "relax with the attitude girl, I'm really trying you know?" He said concerned. "Then quit trying b." I said with a quick smile.

Kelvin has had a crush on me as in an abnormal crush on me. He forces me to also love him back. Every morning, he comes to my take to tell me how much he loves me, or how much he has missed me, or drops a love letter, or give me money or buys me stuff. This morning was not of much exception, he came to my table and gave me a letter and three bars of chocolate. I accepted it and thanked him for his generous offer. I dropped it in my bag as if it was rubbish (harsh, I know).

Then Christiana entered the class. I turned my eyes and murmured, "well, well, well, here comes the bitch." I got up and went to my locker to grab my books. As I went to my locker, Christiana opened the hallway door and was walking slowly like the whole world should stop and listen to her. She came to stand by my locker since hers is next to mine. I took my books and as I was closing my locker, she said,' Ellie, I am so sorry about yesterday. I am sorry for flirting with Terry I didn't know you had a thing for him. And I am really sorry for sacking you out of my house. Please hear me out." When she was done, I placed my hand on my hip and said, "are you done?'' She nodded and I left her side and went to the class hurriedly.
