Just A Dare [Editing]

Chapter 8

Playlist: Grace by Bebe Rexha. I feel like its the perfect song for this chapter.

Thanks y'all for 100+ reads. I really appreciate.

It's been two weeks since I started dating Nonso, our relationship has been okay. Things have been pretty normal and Nonso's dad's surgery is coming up in a few weeks. Jeremy and I are no longer talking. He started ignoring me in school so I decided to ignore him too. I can't kill myself jor. Zainab has stayed off my back these past few weeks.

My school is starting our first C.A test today, it's just for three days. That means no teachings and all those stuff. Then next week is our talent show. It was almost time for our second test subject. Before he came in to give us the test, Jeremy badged in to the class with his clique; Gabriel and Segun. All eyes turned to them. Girls were using their hands to fan themselves while the rest that had sense were actually reading. They suddenly stopped in front of my locker.

"Shebi I told you to stay away from my babe! You refused abi?" Before I knew what was happening, his fist had found it's way to Nonso's jaw. Everyone gasped. No one was reading anymore, this drama was way sweeter than whatever they were reading or gisting.

"Your babe abi? You're just so stupid. You want to win her over and you think that when you beat her boyfriend she'll come running to you abi? Guy use your brain sometimes nah. I thought you were smarter than this." He stood up and walked out of the class. Jeremy stood there clenching and unclenching his fist. I stood up to follow Nonso when someone held me.

"Don't." I look up and saw Jeremy holding my hand and his eyes looked sad.

"You're just a very stupid person. Are you this daft?" I glared at him, hissed and walked to the men's room where I knew he probably was.

"What is it?" Nonso asked looking at me. He looked really angry.

"I came to check up on you nah." I said moving forward. I was about to touch his jaw when he used his hand to remove my hand.

"When he was there claiming you, you couldn't talk abi?" He growled. His voice was so loud that I was shocked. He had never raised his voice on me before.

"I didn't know what to say nah. I'm sorry." I quickly hugged him, he was stiff at first but later on, he relaxed to my touch. "I'm so sorry he did this to you."

"It's alright. At least I have one thing that he wants, you." He said and I chuckled. "Okay we have to get back to class now." I had to leave the restroom first so teachers won't start their usual gossip of how I came out of the restroom with a boy.

I walked into the classroom with all eyes on me. I know they were looking at my face to study my expression. Some were whispering. Immediately I sat down, Nonso came in too with his hands in his pockets. He acted like nothing happened. He walked towards me with amusement showing vividly in his eyes. Just before he went to his locker, he stopped in front of me, took my face in his hands and kissed me. I was shocked at first but then I kissed him back. Awwwns and oh my gosh they're so cute filled the air.

As soon as he pulled away, he looked at Jeremy and smiled. I knew what he was trying to do, he wanted to provoke him more than he already had.

The bell for lunch break rang and I stood up with Nonso's hand in mine, we went to the cafeteria together. After taking our food, we went to sit down with Uju and Bukky.

"Nonso sorry oh. Don't mind Jeremy. He's was acting like a bitch. Don't worry we will beat him for you iyeh." Trust Uju to make mouth small. Everyone laughed and by everyone I mean Nonso, Bukky and I.
