Tales Of Maryam | Completed✔

Yolo

Linda gave me and Sarah an iPhone 7, we're officially iPhone users, how generous of her. Not sure if it's generosity or it's simply what someone does if they're filthy rich, her father is the ex governor of Lagos state and is currently the senator. Life can be so unfair sometimes. Anyways I'm glad I got to know her, a friend to a senator's pikin😆

"Linda please hurry up, I don't want to be late for class" I whined for God knows how many times that morning
"I'm almost done" she said using the blush brush to apply the bronzer, she's beautiful and doesn't need all this make-up..if only she knows
"Okay! I'm ready, let's go" she said dragging me out of the room, I bid her roommate bye and we left for class

After three hours of long boring lecture, he decided to excuse himself
"I hate lecturers that add extra time to their lessons" I fumed "Na him know book pass" Linda said hissing, I looked out the window and noticed my crush passing as all the butterflies in my belly began to get excited

"Oh my God! Linda here comes my crush in 3, 2.." I counted as he made his way in with his friends,turning to see Linda staring real hard I pinched her hard to bring her back to reality
"Ouch!" She said aloud, a little bit too loud because we earned their stares including him and I quickly ducked bumping my head on the table
"Ouch" I said silently, slightly rubbing the little lump that had appeared already

"Oh em G! Gurllll that boy is fine though, how come I never noticed? I could have gotten to crush on him first" she squealed "Don't even think about it o or I'd tell your boyfriend" I said "Girl you know if I was single, I'd have his ass" she fan girl "Just shut up" I said "But for real tho that boy is handsome, you better have him before another girl snatches him" she said "Nahh, I better leave it as a crush" I reassured and she got the hint "Okay o!" She rolled her eyes "You're not a fun person at all" she said "Girl I don't plan to be" I said sassily

The last lecturer for the day arrived and let's pass forward all his lecture to where we got grouped. We were grouped according to our registration number serially, my crush's number is just ahead of mine.. His number fifty nine and mine sixty. A topic was given and he was made the group leader, he was standing next to me taking down our names and oh my God! I just want to faint right now, his expensive cologne filled the air which is very irresistible

"Your name?" He asked and my heart started beating fast "Uhm.." I said already forgetting my name "Your name? Or don't you know your name?" He asked rudely making all the girls that wants to throw their selves at him laugh loudly... What's so funny now? Mtshwww
"Maryam. Maryam Abdullahi" I said in an audible tune, he told us the questions and left

"I saw you two speaking" Linda said excitedly "We got grouped together" I said with no interest "Even much better, you'd get to know him more" she said picking her bag as we left for the hostel "I don't know about that, he is so rude" I replied "Maybe he is just having a bad day"
"Doesn't seem like it" I said now entering the hostel

"I'm hungry o! Let's go eat something" Linda yawned "But we just ate a while a go" I said "So?" She question "Didn't you say you want us to start dieting?" I asked "Abeg who dieting epp? Let's goan eat joor" she joked and I laughed
We ate Amala with egusi, shaki and kpomo....ohh lawd! Take control

After eating the sumptuous meal, we chatted about unnecessary stuff and laughed, it's clear we were high on food. My phone vibrated and I saw a strange number so I didn't pick and continued chatting, my phone kept ringing and the same number flashed on the screen

"Who's that?" Linda asked and I shrugged "Pick na" she said and I slide the green button "Hello?" I answered "If you don't know how to use a phone, dash it out" he spat "How am I supposed to pick a strange number?" I asked "That's your business sha,group meeting by 7 at lecture room 28" he said and hung up "Did he just hang up on me?" I asked no one in particular "Please o, I don't want to write jamb again" she joked and I kept a straight face "What's up?" She asked been all serious

"Can you imagine that stupid group captain?" I said furiously "So he's no longer your crush, why the harsh tone?" She joked and laughed "He's so rude, I dislike rude people" I stated "Babe chillaxe it's only till the time of your presentation. Don't mind him"

---
I have been waiting for the past fifty two minutes and no sign of the group members. I've called him for about seventeen times and he didn't pick, I swear once the time reads eight I'm leaving, I don't stay out late anymore. Time flies and I was just about leaving when I saw him
"Sorry for the delay, I had things to deal with" he apologized "You could have at least picked your phone" I said "And I just apologized" he said rudely again, I can't stand him

"Where are the remaining group members?" I asked and he shrugged "Isn't this supposed to be a group meeting?" I asked not caring how high my voice is, he stared at me for a while
"You know what? Never mind" he said walking away "Hey where do you think you're going after wasting my time like that?" I asked and walked up to his face

"What do you want me to do? Apologize?? Hehehe, you're lucky you got it the first time" he said effortlessly
"Sadeeq or whatever is your name, I have no room for anyone to disrespect me, apologize" I said and he laughed "You get liver o, it's me you face and be talking to like that!" He said astonished "And who do you think you are?" I asked

"Shut the hell up, I'm not apologising for shit. Not my fault that the rest of the group members didn't show up" he said "That's what makes you the group leader, call them then"
"I.. I don't have their number" he stuttered "And you have mine? Wow!"
"Look it doesn't matter okay? We'd have our meeting tomorrow" he said walking away "A'hole" I whispered, wait I can't let him go like that after what he did, I bought two sachet of water and punctured it

"Hey Sadeeq!" I called out and he sighed turning around, I threw them at him, his shirt and trouser got wet "What the fuck!" He cursed angrily and turned his glare at me and walked towards me but I escaped for my dear life "Bring it on" I said to myself smirking
