Chapter fifty

A break up? No, I didn't hear right.

"A break up?!" I kinda exclaimed. What he said took me aback.

"Yeah, 'cause I'm just tired of your lies recently." Benjamin said with all honesty.

"No Benjamin, this one is too far o." Chuka chimed in. "I mean, you can get angry with her but break up? That's extremely childish and not it at all." He further told him, emphasising every word.

"I totally agree with Chuka. You can't just break up with Ruby for just this little thing she has done." Amaka added.

Aw! I was glad my friends were speaking up for me. Thank God I had such friends to help me out.

Benjamin heaved a sigh. "Okay, I've heard you guys." He then looked at me but wasn't smiling neither was he frowning, he just had a straight face on. I also retaliated the look before turning away to leave for my seat. I was very mad at Benjamin for even suggesting a break up. How dare he!

Sitting down, I unlocked my phone and immediately deleted John's contact from my phone. Even though I was highly disappointed at Benjamin yet also mad at him, I didn't want John's contact to ever be a cause of our quarrel again.

After I'd done that, I saw Amaka walking to my seat. "Hey, Ruby." She said as soon as she got to my desk. "How are you?"

"I'm fine." I gave her an unfriendly answer. I wasn't even looking her way when I answered her.

She sat down beside me. "Why are you now vexing for me? I'll beat you o." She joked but yawns, it was freaking dry.

I remained indifferent about her joke. "See this girl o..." She shook my shoulders a bit. "And you're still frowning face for me. I'll just stand up and be going."

"Okay."

"Iffa slap you ehn." Amaka chuckled a little. "So what sup?"

"What?" I sent her a scowl.

"Ah, ah! Did I vex you? Better stop all these facial expressions you're giving me." She paused for a while before continuing to speak. "On a serious note, how did you get the dude's contact on your phone?"

"I swear down, I really do not know. I was also shocked yesterday when he called and I saw that his contact had already been saved on my phone. It was really devastating, trust me." I genuinely told her.

"But how? Or wait, are you sure this ain't their doing?"

"Who's doing?" I quizzed.

"Faith and her cousin, of course. 'Cause why was it when his contact had been saved on your phone that was when he decided to call you? Think about it."

"True. But how did it happen and when?" I tried to think of a possible answer for my question but to no avail. "And he was even telling me that he didn't know how his contact got to my phone and how mine got to his phone. This is just so mysterious."

"Hmm." Amaka placed her hand on her chin in a thinking position. What was she thinking about now? "No, it can't be. Could it be?" She soliloquized.

"What's that?" I inquired.

"Wait o, could all these be a plan just for Benjamin and you to break up? 'Cause if you look at it from my perspective, he called you yesterday right? So Faith now went to tell him a lie that you collected his contact just so that you would look cheap and desperate, I don't know if you're getting me. I feel John's coming here is a means for you and Benjamin to break up. This is all just a plan." She concluded.
