"It has been two weeks since Lilian died and she has been buried with the whole school in attendance, though she was still missed but the school has come back to normalcy, bubbling with student's gisting, chatting, laughing, dancing some playing and they rest reading either their books or novels.
Ronke had become close to Kelvin, helping him in everything, she had always been with him which had become to her friends as they thought she had decided to leave them for a guy.. At first, they thought because she liked him, she was doing all she could to ease his pain, but it got too much, it started affecting their relationship.
"Ronke, nawa oo,". Dupe called her when she came out of Kelvin class.
"What is it?". Ronke snapped.
"Don't you know you are deflating his ego, treating  him as if he is handicapped, didn't you hear that despite the death of Lilian, he still got the highest score in his class test". Adanna accused.
"Please, you guyz won't understand, I'm just tired and exhausted, and also hungry." Ronke said walking away.
"I can smell something fishy, how you suddenly became glued to Kelvin". Adanna said angrily.
"What they say is actually true , ehn, don't you know people are talking". Adanna flung carelessly.
"I don't care what people say, you guys should please bear with me, I have to go, I will see you after school, but right now, I'm famished, I want to buy snacks". Ronke apologised...
"Come on, wait for me, we will go together". Dupe offered taking her hands.
"Thanks for understanding, you don't know how much I appreciate it". Ronke told her smiling.
"You guys make me look like the bad egg, wait for me, I'm coming." Adanna mumbled joining them.

"Ronke wait!". Beatrice called when she saw Ronke alone.
"what is it?" Ronke snapped.
"Why must we take all the blame, don't you know you are also at fault?" Beatrice asked.
"What do you want from me?". Ronke asked instead, stressing the 'from me'.
With a sigh, Beatrice replied." Come for meeting tomorrow, that's all".
"In your imaginations, after what happened, you think I will come?, and what?, get into trouble, no thanks, my problem then was how to say 'NO THANKS'but thank  goodness I can now". Ronke said laughing harshly.
"Don't play with fire, Ronke, you will only end up getting burnt". Beatrice warned softly.
"Enough!!, what can you do?, keep on warning and threatening me?, Do your worse, I am not coming". Ronke shouted angrily at her before walking away.

"Kelvin please wait". Ronke called him.
Kelvin muttered something under his breath and turned to face her.
"Hey!". He muttered
"How are you faring now?" Ronke asked him .
"Good," Kelvin murmurred.
"Where are you going to?" She asked him.
With a sigh he answered, " I am going to the field to play".
"Are you?, I mean, fit enough,,you know you after what you have been through, you....". Ronke asked worriedly.
With a curse, Kelvin replied her, "listen, I am grateful, so grateful for all you have done for me, damn grateful, but I am a guy, I don't like all these fussing, so please I think I have had enough for today, expecially from you, give yourself a break, give me a break also, don't you get exhausted?, I am not a baby, I am 17 for goodness sake, even a 10 years old guy will get fed up, I won't lie or deny it, I am tired and fed up of your fussing, even my mum doesn't fuss over me and you are not my mother, neither are you my girlfriend, so please I beg you, leave me the bloody hell alone, if you will please excuse me". With a frustrated sigh he turned and left her standing there in tears.

"Bloody Idiot, ungrateful Bastard". Ronke shouted angrily when she got home. "Ingrate, it's not your fault, it is bloody well not your fault!". She screamed.
"What is in you?!, I hate you, I hate bloody too much, I wish ot was you that died instead of Lilian, fuck you!! Screw you!!!, screw your asshole!!".
"It's not your fault, see if I would ever talk to you in my life!, oh God why!!!". She sobbed.. "Why!, don't punish me this way!, forgive me". She broke down into tears.
"Ronke, Aderonke!". Mrs Olatunbi called her daughter knocking at her door".
"Mum". Ronke croaked, quickly drying her face. "The door is opened mum".
"Tell me what is it?, I have bee observing you for quite some weeks now, something is wrong". Mrs Olatunbi started when she got in.
"Nothing mum, I'm just stressed out". Ronke quickly assured forcing a smile.
"Who am I to you". Mrs Olatunbi asked her suprising Ronke.
"Ah, mummy why are you asking me". Ronke asked her mum looking confused and suprised.
"Answer me, who am I to you?" Her mum asked again.
"You are my mother". Ronke replied.
"Then why can't you confide in me?". Her mum asked her.
"Mummy!!!".
"Eversince, your elder brother and sister died, I had never had any child other than you, which means anything that affect you, affects me, when you are  in pains, I also am in pains, when you are sad, I'm also sad, when you are happy, I'm happy, and now I know you are sad because I can feel it in me, if you don't want to tell me then it is fine, but whatever it is, I want you to forget and move on, everything happens for a reason, and remember I am still your mum and I will always love you, I want the best for you, if you feel you are ready to open up, I will listen, I will understand, tell you your faults but nevertheless I will be there for you". Her mum told her sofly.
"Oh mum!". Ronke cried hugging her. "You are so sweet, I love you with all my heart.".
"I love you too,". Her mum replied giving her a kiss on her forehead. "I had always loved you and will always love you".
"Okay lemme leave you and attend to my chores, don't feel depressed about whatsoever happened my love, your lunch is on the table, eat and sleep, I will prepare your dad's food". Her mum said disengaging herself from her daughter's embrace and getting up.
"Mum". Ronke called her when she got the door.
"What?" Her mum asked raising an eyebrow.
"You are one in a million and thank you". Ronke replied blowing kisses at her mum as her mum smiled and left the room.

"Hey, what's up with you and Kelvin?. Adanna asked Ronke after three weeks of Ronke and Kelvin not talking to each other.
"Well, I decided, I actually have books to read". Ronke replied absently.
"I hope, that is it". Adanna said.
"Sometimes I wonder if you are our friend or not, because your behaviour at times is that of a foe". Dupe snapped.
"I can't believe you said that to me". Adanna said angrily.
"You better believe because it is true". Dupe replied..
"Okay, okay, no arguments, hmm we have exams to read for". Ronke quickly cut in raising her hands up.

"For real, you and Kelvin aren't talking?" Dupe asked suprised when they passed Kelvin and Ronke didn't acknowledge him.
"Well, I am not interested". Ronke replied curtly.
"But girl, was he looking at you". Adanna said.
"That's his business". Ronke replied dryly.
"Excuse me Ladies". Kelvin voice broke in.
"Hey". He told them
"Hey". Dupe replied.
"Kelvin". Adanna shrieked.
"Hey Ronke". Kelvin greeted her.
"Hey yourself". Ronke said curtly.
"Please, can I see you?". Kelvin asked Ronke.
"As you can see ...........".
"Don't worry about us, Ronke". Adanna quickly interrupted her. "Meet us in class". With a wave she dragged Dupe along.

"Long time". Kelvin said minutes after Adanna and Dupe had left them and had nothing to say to each other other than to stare at each other.
"It's not long, it is just three......". Ronke stopped ,catching herself.
"Wow!!, you have even been keeping tabs on the weeks, I can't remember myself". Kelvin said laughing.
"If you don't have anything to say, I think I will take my leave". Ronke said curtly.
"Wait!". Kelvin stopped her, holding her hand.
Ronke glanced down at the hand on her hand and back to his face.
"I am sorry". He murmurred but didn't still remove his hand.
"I know you are angry with me ". He started. "Holy hell, you have every reason to be, I am not supposed to put it that way, I...actually....I was fed up but......".
"Please let's not go back there, it's something I have buried". Ronke snapped.
"You are still angry". Kelvin said with a smug smile on his lips. "Hell you have every right to be, I'm a jerk, I am sure you would have called me lot of names, which I am but please I am sorry, we are in ss3, we are not supposed to get burnt or fighting over issues like that, I learnt you don't have sibling and your mum use to smoother and cuddle and all that so I understand, but I , as a guy, I am not used to all that, infact it makes me sick, But I am so sorry for everything, I wasn't supposed to talk to you that way, hell I am an ingrate,  after all you did, so please forgive me".
"A bloody ungrateful bastard". Ronke added..
With a smile he added, "I'm I forgiven?."
"Well,." Ronke started.
"Listen, I have  insulted myself, don't tell me I'm not still forgiven". Kelvin quickly said still having the smug smile on his lips.
That did it!!.
"Well,". Ronke said again, " What am I to say?, sha asked trying to cover a smile but wasn't quick enough.
"So that that means I am forgiven?". Kelvin asked smiling.
"Yeah, I guess". Ronke replied smiling back.
"Which means if you won't avoid me, or ignore me or....".
"I won't I promise, and don't worry I won't fuss over you". Ronke interrupted him smiling.
"Okay, thanks then, see you after school". He turned to go. "Ehm wait" he said stopping. "I made your friends go without you, which means I have no other choice than to accompany you to your class".
"Do you know my class?" Ronke asked him still smiling.
"Commercial bronze ." Kelvin replied grinning and slipping his hand into hers.
"Yeah and thanks". Ronke said smiling.....
"And one more thing".  Kelvin said stopping her his voice husky.." I missed you".
Ronke cheeks turned warm as a blush crept it, and her blinking furiously. She put her head down trying to hide her face.
With a smile and a wink, Kelvin put his other hand round her waist and walked her to her class.
