Black Rose (completed)

chapter seven

The evening section of the conference was religious stuffs. We the Christians went into the hall for service, it was like a church service, songs from the choir, special ministrations, drama, bible reading and sermon. It was interesting, Rita sang a special song ministration but it turned into a comedy due to her bad voice.... That girl is really hopeless.
The student pastor talked about forgiveness and reconciliation.
I kept wondering if it was possible for me to reconcile with Sam, maybe I should be the one to take the first step and call him. I deserve an explanation at least, but I won't because despite the fact that I still care,  I am still mad at him.
After the service, we still had time before 'lights out' so Rita and I hooked up with some girls from our dorm, girls we were getting acquainted with.  We chatted and discussed girls stuffs for a while, the place was lively lots of people selling things, food and even clothes. I searched for the twins but couldn't find them, I wonder what they might be doing now.
As I was wondering around I came across Wama (the barbie doll) from my school,

"Hi Sara dear" she called in her baby like voice.
Wama is my classmate who care too much for her looks than her books, she loves attention and use her beauty to a great advantage, always making guys do what she wants ( Rumor has it even some teachers ). We are not friends but we do meet at press club meetings, and during games too cos she's a fan of badminton. I was surprised to see her, I didn't know she came for the conference it doesn't seem like her kind of thing.

"Hey Wama " I replied

"How are you sweetheart'

' I'm fine and you' I said

"am cute' she says and laughed

"Didn't know you came'

'Yes..... I can't believe am actually here too. I would rather go shopping, sight seeing, swimming, clubbing or any other fun thing girls my age should do.
But mummy insisted, so I had to.  Because I don't want to be a stubborn girl" she winked as she said the last part.

" I see " I said with a smile

"Sweet can I ask you something' she said giving me the puppy look. She had big eyes which were so cute.

"Sure ' I replied

"What really happened between you and Sam, I was at the party'

"He dumped me of course........ For that bitch he was with at the party" I said bluntly

"But it seems there's more to the story. I heard he planned on breaking up with you even before the party"

"What !
I  yelled, I couldn't think of a reason Sam would break up with me other than that night.

"Yeah, that's what I heard. So what are you gonna do about it?

"What do you mean ?
.
"Won't you get back at him, He hurt you. He never even deserve you." She reasoned

"I don't know what to do. What's done is done"

"Oh dear Sam is so lucky he didn't mess with someone like me. I would have made his life a living hell"

I didn't know Sam and Wama never got along. Because the expression she had was like he irritates her.

"Am not good with revenge ' I said innocently

"Sometimes certain circumstances teach you certain skills"

"He's not worth it'

"Well now your free, single and available " she said smiling.

"I don't know if I will trust anyone again. Guys are sooo............guys'

We both laughed.

"That's why I keep my heart in check. I don't let any guy in, so he won't even have access to break it." She said 

"That's right. If I didn't love Sam I won't be hurt this much. After all the person who has the power to hurt you most is the person you let in"

"Yes baby girl'

"Life is so not fair" I said squeezing my face

"Men are not to be loved, they're to be used" she said grinning.

"Easy girl"

"I mean it'

"But that's harsh"

"Well they're harsh too"

"But we need them " I said

"As tools yes........you used them to get what you want, to help you do some things and when you need some fun they're good tools too. She bit her lips at the last sentence.

"Wama! I held my hands to my mouth

"Its true. See girl in this world is either you use guys  or prepare to be used by them. And I refuse to be on the losing side."

"Really ?

"Absolutely, just make them fall for you then toy with them. But never let them in........

I looked at her and just smiled. she was a girl who really had a big influence on guys. I wonder how she did that, get a guy to do whatever she wanted. Would I ever be strong enough to do that, nah I don't think so.............
