I quivered with indignation after Chuka blurted out those few words from his mouth. Emotions that I'd never felt before started barging in and out of my system until finally, sadness engulfed me. I felt heartbroken. I mean, why would Benjamin do this to me? Did I actually mean nothing to him?

I stopped Chuka from moving any further. "Wait Chuka!" He stopped but didn't face me. "Are...are you being serious?" My voice sounded faint. It failed me totally.

"You heard right." He spat and walked out of my midst instantly.

Unfortunately, I was in public eye 'cause if not, I would have let out a heavy rain from my eyes. I felt a squeeze in my chest. What was left for me now? My boyfriend, the only person that I was closest to in the lesson, even though he wasn't close to me like I was, but still...just left me for good. Scratch that! For bad. He left me for an unknown reason. Duh!

I wiped the little tears that dropped from my eyes and made my way to my desk.

Time seemed to be on no one's side today 'cause technically, it was speeding. It was break period already.

"Ruby, can I speak with you?" Amaka said with her British accent. She stood in front of my desk, whilst I was still on my chair wearing a gloomy face.

I nodded my head in approval. She then sat beside me and masked a very serious look on her face. The look on her face could mean that something was not right.

"What's the matter? Is it because of Benjamin?" I practically widened my eyes at her question.

"Benjamin?!" I asked nervously. "No. Not at all. Why? I mean, not like we were dating." Her face was in a perplexed frown. She probably must be wondering why I was gabbling.

She then placed her hand on my shoulder. "Tell me, what happened between you and Benjamin because I know that you both had a chemistry going on."

I sighed. "Okay. Yeah, we initially did but not anymore. In fact, he's not attending this lesson again." I was back to my sad mood.

"Aw...I can see you ain't happy. So tell me, what happened?"

"I...I don't even know. Actually, I broke up with him-"

"Why?!" She abruptly cut me off.

I snapped my head at her sudden outburst. "It's... It's actually a long story. And no, don't tell me to make it short in the best way I can 'cause I can't." She chuckled.

"No qualms. But could you please try to smile." She smiled at me and rubbed my shoulder gently.

I looked at her and let out a small yet genuine smile. "I'd try. By the way, why did you all of sudden come talk to me." I raised an eyebrow.

She gave me the 'duh' look. "We are apparently friends."

"Hmm...okay. So tell me something interesting about you. Let's get to know each other better. You're in?"
