After a long day of school and having Cajo breathing down my neck about Nathan and I, I finally get some rest and deep into thoughts. Just as I was getting deeper and not even realising that it's half past five already ,I'm being called outside.

''Mitch, Nathan says you should bring his sweater since we will be going home tomorrow.''

''Oh! Where is he?''

''By the school hall. He told me you should come that side.''

''Okay. I'm coming." Oh God I'm  not ready to give back this sweater. I mean it still has his scent for heaven's sake. Argh, do I have a choice though?

I quickly go to my room as it is late already, I grab Nathan's sweater and put it on and leave the dormitory. It didn't take me that long until I see him from a distance.  Of course I didn't have to overuse my eyes searching for him since he's very light in complexion. He's like a banana:)

As soon as I got to him, I couldn't help it but blush like those grannies who just got flattered by their husbands.

"Why didn't you tell me to bring your sweater to school?I mean now I had to leave my bed and come here. You pumpkin."

"Spare me the drama please. Do I have to say please anyway." He rolled his eyes.

"Well save your pleases then."I look away.

"Okay Mitch. I actually want to tell you something you see..."

"Dude! of course I have eyes that can see very well. Can't you see?"

"Okay. Okay. On a serious note then."

"Ohkay. You are scaring me now. What's happening?" I cross my fingers without him noticing. I hope he is not planning  to stop what we've been doing or even worse, he has a girlfriend.

"Well thing is, uhmm...I somehow developed some crazy feelings for you and I'd like to go out with you."

My heart skipped quite a few beats. "Uh..you..."

"I know this sounds crazy and I thought I'd help it but I just  couldn't. "

Speechless with a gawk, I became, for a moment. "Okay I hear you but haplessly I'm not interested."

"Well. I get that. But why though? Is it because of what people are going to say since you left Ryan  without a reason or you don't have any feelings for me or maybe just  because I'm ugly?"

"I..okay...let me say I don't have any feelings for you." What am I saying?

"It's cool.  I get that. I just wanted to know, out of curiosity though. Uhm. Isn't it time for you to go I mean it's almost seven o'clock."

"Sure."

"Can a nigga get a hug please."

"Why not ? Come here." I hugged him  tightly and hoped for a kiss but then it wasn't my day today. I think I have  regrets for rejecting him.I eventually pull away. "And your sweater?"

"Oh. You can keep it ey."

"Dialogue!!!!!" Screams come from behind. Uh-oh It's time up.  I walk away and eventually run  without saying a word to him.

              ***A*****************A***

"Mary!!!!" I start screaming the moment I enter the dormitory.

"Whaaat!!"She yells back.

With that panicking tone."Bubu I'm so stuuupid. You can't believe what I just did. I fuckin rejected him. I rejected Nathan. Mary what was I thinking. Mary you know I'm into him. Mary he's my type. Oh Mary Mary no!!!"

"Lord have mercy on this psychic sister of mine. " Why did you reject him really?"

I climb up the T wall that divides our room without noticing. "I wasn't thinking straight. Trust me, my mind was upside down. I think  had a  situs inversus for a moment."

"Situs in what?"

"Inversus idiot!"

"Forget that. Maybe he'll ask you out again. If he was serious though ."

"But what if he doesn't huh? He wasn't serious?"

"Hey. You're fighting me now. Calm down,jeez!"

I take a few deep breaths in. "But Mary..."

"Shushhh!!"

"Okay. Okay...Okay  cool. I'm collected now."

"I know what's going to make you feel better sweedy."

"What? Are you going to turn back the minutes so that I go out with him?"

"No way.I'm not some kind of a magician. Let's go to my room and get into someone's nerves."

"Mitali!!! Let's go now." We then went to Mary's room. We sure annoyed the poor Mitali until she fell asleep. Don't know if she was  faking it though.

"Mary. I'm tired now. I'm off to bed. And you better finish packing your stuff before 06:30 since we''ll have to go see Mr Thompson." He's  our math teacher. We always go to him before we leave for home. He's more like a father to us. 

I got out of Mary's room straight to mine. I couldn't help it but think about Nathan and myself being so ludicrous. But what if he's not going to talk to me again or even worse, ask me out again. We are going home tomorrow and our holidays are going to be long, I can feel that.So basically, I'll not see Nathan for about four weeks. I'll have to cope with it anyway.

Before I knew it, it's time to wake up. I get up and do my usual routine then go to class to get my report card  with the hope that Nathan will want to see me before leaving. Argh! That's if he cares . I got to class without any sign of him. One could tell that I wasn't myself though. We got our reports and just as I was giving it all up. He shouted my name and I looked back.

"How are you?"

"I'm good and how are you, Nathan?"

"I could've been better you know, but at least I'm breathing."

I just stared at him. And he did the same. And before I knew it our lips interlocked. We kissed for about five minutes or so and then stopped, staring at me ,he said, "I love you."
I just kept quite. Now this is crazy. He started making those sounds of the drums when a winner is about  to be announced in a competition, waiting for my response to what he said.

"You are just crazy Nathan. But you know what, just, come here." I pulled him with his sweater and we kissed. I guess this was our last kiss for the term ey.
