Being the Head Boy's girlfriend was such a cool thing. Although I really didn't tell anyone, it was only my closest friends that knew. And Jacob was silent about it too. I knew that just somehow, as always, if we were being so vocal about us dating, it would again, get into the ears of the school authorities. And it was risky.
Sara remarked once that senior girls, Jacob's female classmates may try to make me uncomfortable, but I still shouldn't worry about it. That I needed to be strong.
"Sara" I said worriedly. "I don't want to look rude or something"
"You standing up to them would always be seen as rude. Don't be unnecessary rude anyway, but then don't let them get to you"
I sighed. Yasmin touched my face "They don't even know yet, they probably think you're on punishment, that's why you're with him. No one knows you guys are dating."
"And none of you are planning on spreading it"
"Enough of all this serious talk. Let's focus on other things" Sara plopped on the bed. "Have you guys kissed yet?"
"Sara" Yasmin and I echoed."Its none of your business"
"I talk about what I do with Tope all the time duh"
"Not that we're ever willing to listen to your sexcapades, please" I said.
"Help me tell her oh"
Sara wasn't giving up.
"We haven't kissed" I admitted, lowkey disappointed. I thought it was weird. All our Kissing was in the realm of the dreams. I wondered why he didn't try to . But I never forced it anyway.
"Woow" Yasmin said. "He's a keeper girl. He ain't after your body"
"That's if he hasn't even thought of kissing your life out. Or slipping-"
"Sara" I said in disgust "You are nasty to the brim"
"Just doing my job Dassy. Besides, hope you wear the right underwear? Or get bigger ones. Because when he's done with your boob-"
I stood up abruptly. "End of discussion please, I'm going to sleep"
The girls giggled. "Dream of Jacob kissing you" they called out.
I would love to start seeking got new friends, I thought. But they needn't remind me, I dreamed of that all the time.
*******
Yes, another kissing moment got ruined again. This time it was during visiting day. My whole family had come, sitting at the garden besides the entrance gates. In fact I had introduced Jacob to them, and they greeted him warmly.
Of course I didn't tell them that he was my boyfriend. I just said he was the head boy, even saying that he was a friend was weird enough. If Aunt Joyce was here I would have told her that he was my boyfriend.
All of a sudden Daniel wanted to go use the toilet. I took him , I would have carried him but he was adding more weight these days. But his hugs were still as tight as when he was a child. He still pecks me on my cheeks and lips. I did the same. I took him to my class area, at least the toilets there was clean, something I'm proud of.
While he's at the toilet, he insists that he wanted to go alone. I stand in my class, and wait. Jacob walks in abruptly.
"Hello, Miss 'This is Jacob, the schools head boy" He mimics. I laugh and sit down. He walks over to me.
"Obviously I can't say anything. Did you see the way my parents were staring at you?"
"I know" He smirks. "This is the perfect choice for my daughter"
