Pandora

CHAPTER 7

              ●The Feelings Planted●
  
I spill everything to Tokoni. My brain doesn't think twice to try lying, and even tho it did,Tokoni always knew when I lied.

I expect her to burst out with anger, instead she puts her hands on mine her eyes are subtle.

"I always knew it would happen. Look let's just die the fact it happened, what happened has happened there's no changing in that. All we've gats worry about right now is the Temi finding out."

At the mention of his name I feel guilty. Not guilty to the fact that I made out with Hanz, but the fact that I enjoyed
the way Hanz had kissed me and I didn't feel too bad about it.

"There's no way Temi's gonna find out," my voice sounds husky.

"You sure? Coz I think Hanz won't keep his mouth shut. He'd probably tell his close friend then his close friend will of  course tell their own close friend... girl damn we know how Marquis Academy works," she rolls her eyes.

How come I never thought about that? What if Hanz did tell someone? My mind starts racing about all the possibilities of Hanz telling anyone, of course it will be the talk of the school but then...........Temi would break up with me. Just the thought of that, tears sting my eyes.

As though reading my mind Tokoni says

"Temi won't break up with you," she give my hands a light squeeze, " I promise."

A warm smile finds its way to my lips, I'm so grateful Tokoni's my friend not just any friend but my best.

I wrap my hands around her and give her a bear hug.

"Thank you for everything." I whisper

"What are friends for is obviously a lame friendship quote but still, it suits the situation," she says, I feel her smile as she says this.

When we loosen our hug we talk about other things, particularly the inter house sport tomorrow, then books then of course the major girl talk — Boys.

Tokoni tells me how she doesn't want to get any boy into her heart at the moment because she can't just deal with all the relationship issues right now.

While she talks my mind wanders away from our conversation and I find myself thinking about David Cormac. An image of him forms in my head. His hazel eyes are the sexiest I'd ever seen, I loved the way his brows twitch whenever he laughs (dont ask me how I heard his laugh, of course he is in my set, although we don't talk and all, I've definitely heard him laugh like several times, whenever he comes over to my class to meet Alexandra)....damn, his laugh. I swear, that was one thing I could listen to a billion times and not get tired of. His lips weren't pink like most of the boys, it was red like, y'know, blood kind of red, that alone made him unique. I love his —

I'm brought back to reality by Tokoni's voice

"Pandora? Are you...... okay??" she asks

I hesitate for a split second then I reply

"Of course I am," I lie.

"Girl no, you're not okay," she pushes

"I am actua—"

Tokoni cuts me off.

"Girl, you literally just called David's name!" she whisper-yells.

My eyes go as wide as saucers. Over the years I realised that whenever I day dreamed or thought for so long I had the tendency to say somethings.

For some seconds my vision seems to blur but then becomes clear.

"I probably must........" I trail off, not knowing what to say at all
