In West Africa in the southern part of Nigeria, is a teenage girl. Not your average thirteen year old kiddo
"it's going to be so obvious I'm thirteen "(Ife )
But the tiny skinny type who thinks like an adult
"Are you always this serious...
The time keeper rang the bell signifying the end of the day, finally. I gathered my stuff and made my way down to the Canteen. It's been a week here in TOMS and I'm glad it's finally weekend. I entered the canteen and scanned the crowd for Fej.
Found him
He was at the end of the room facing the window, his back to me. I walked briskly but quietly towards him and slapped his head gently. He turned immediately
"Ah.. I... I.. "he said stammering. Okay any normal person would laugh but his eyes held guilt.
"What are you doing? "I asked sternly but it sounded like a bored tone.He turned back facing the window once again to continue whatever he was doing. I took a seat beside him and looked at his moving fingers. He was operating a phone IN SCHOOL.
Never knew this cute panda could break rules.
I looked at the phone paying close attention. It was a Nokia Asher (I guess ) and he was chatting. I looked up at him only to see him looking at me with pleading eyes.
"I won't tell anyone " I assured him and he relaxed.
"It's almost like you read my mind " he'd said eyes still glued to the phone.
"Read your eyes" I replied removing 'I' from the beginning of the sentence. I do that sometimes. He look around for some seconds before continuing.
"Even if we remain best friends till our final class, I don't think I'll know you enough 'cause I see new sides everyday "he said My eyes widened
"We're not best friends, we're not even friends, we're just seat mates "
"We could be if you weren't so. ...uptight "
"I'm not uptight "
"Ohhh, I hear "he said ending the conversation. Fej was a funny kid, he had good traits too. He's organized, he's...well he is... uhhhh .I guess that's he's only good trait because the rest of him is hell. A talkative, playful Jack, smiler and a chicken just to name a few.
Well he's not to blame, he is the only child so.....
I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts, that's when I spotted Junior at a corner of the canteen glaring bullets into my head, he's been doing it all week.
Poor guy, must kill that he can't lift a finger after all the bragging
"What exactly did your dad do?" Fej asked
"About? "
"Ant bully "Fej replied eyes away from phone and now looking at Junior. Ant bully is what Fej and I resorted to calling Junior.
"I actually don't know, he just spoke to the principal"
"I thought he would just scold him but this treatment is better "
"It could have been worse" . You know that thing I had with Junior the other day? yeah, I told my dad about it and he took care of it. How? I really don't care .
"I've been meaning to ask, what's your haircut called? "
"Anita Bakers, you want to barb your hair "
"No oh"
Why would I cut this hair I've been training for years?
I took out a sweet from my bag, unwrapped it and started licking. Well.....chewing actually. Fej stretched his hands for one too, but I gave him the sweet wrapper. He made one of those puppy feces.
"We're not friends Fej, we're seatmates, we don't share things"
"Fine, I'll go and meet senior Bobby to buy something for me" Fej said standing up. He quickly hid the phone in his pocket and adjusted his white collar. "I'll be back with an egg burger "he said with a smirk before leaving. I played with the Bobby name for a while.
Bobby, bob-eeee,bo-bee,b-obby,b-o-bb-eee, bauw-bee, hmm, what kind of name is bore-bee?
"Ife they are calling you" Fej said startling me. I stood up and strapped my back pack on my back. I noticed he had nothing- I mean foodwise - in his hand.
That's strange, he never comes back empty
"No egg burger or no Bobby? "I asked casually while strolling out of the canteen.
"I've not gone yet, I was but then I saw your mum, she was with......."Fej was saying but his voice floated out of my head and revolved round my head causing air shortage in my lungs. I froze, a thousand thoughts flew through my head
Gosh, What has he done?
Author's tip:Fej's hair cut looks like this Not exactly though
