HOW WE MET

chapter 5

Syl's POV
"Please tell me you are kidding."I told Irene."Because seriously how do you just say we break up and yet no a genuine reason to."

I couldn't help to control the tears that were flowing.I valued Irene so much.I would die for her.I trusted her with my everything.She knew every single thing about me.No secrets .No nothing.But so bad my heart lied to me.I believed it and it lied to me.It lied to me.

I had watched in the movie that people drunk alcohol to relief stress.But could I do that while they had named me church boy.

To hell with the church.I told myself and that night I found myself in that club far from home place because nobody would understand me.
I wondered what had came over to Irene.Did she die in stress like I was dying?Did she feek heartbroken like I was feeling?What had I done to her that she ended up what was between us?Was i not worthy her love?Was i a bad boy to love such a beautiful girl?Or was it Karma?I couldn't control the tears that were flowing.They were worthy it.

And now I had hid that anger in myself.No emotional attachment.I had planned not to love again but now think of how those blue eyes of her made me weak.God what was wrong with me surely.I didn't want to experience whatever I had experienced with Irene.Never.But the picture that was circulating in my mind was for her only.Those pink lips.That blush.Noo.I had to do something to make that feeling fade.Was I really falling for her?I had seen her severally but just talked to her once.I had to rescue myself from falling in love with her.That couldn't happen.

Tina's POV
He had said "see you tomorrow" and today being the day I didn't want to face him.God this guy was something else.Just break time I did my usual thing.Going to sit on that tank was what i did.I didn't want to see who was walking towards me but I did a mistake.Those green eyes met mine.He hold the gaze until I thought he was reading me.I looked down.I didn't want to show that he made me weak by just a look and how hot he looked.But now I did.I showed him that I can be weak and that's something I had promised myself not yo.Not to show my weakness to anybody no matter who.Not to show them that I could be weak.But that's what I had done to Syl.I know you might ask how I came to know his name.Of course I didn't know his second name but I had this thing of not being satisfied until I accomplished whatever my mind was demanding and so I went to his class and asked some of his classmates.Looking at him gave me goosebumps.His dark, black hair,was smoothed back into pompadour,and his naturely tanned skin seemed smooth and flawless.God this boy brought twisted my stomach.

"Hey miss Steve...How has your day been?"he asked while clearing his voice.

"Why are you here now?are you kidda stocking me now?Mr Emman i don't have anything to do with you so leave the fuck alone."I said irritated.I didn't want him near me.He made me feel something I couldn't avoid.

"Hey hey cool....who told you I would have ...anything to do with ...you?Come on Tina dont overthink ."he said with a laughter that seemed not to end.

I was mad .So mad at him.Who did he think he was?Not that I expected him to feel anything towards me.Not that I wanted him to feel the same way i felt.But admitting it,I was annoyed.

At that time, all I wanted was to hurt him like he had done .

"Fuck you piece of shit."I told him.He was a boy right and I expected him to just ignore me and walk away but I was absolutely wrong.
WHACK!

OMG!Syl had slapped me.I wanted to walk away and pretend that I had felt no painBut I couldn't tears betrayed me.They betrayed me My heart then now my eyes.I cried.Cried till my eyes were red.He had just walked away the moment he saw that I was crying.Why?Why?Npw almost the whole school was surrounding me.I couldn't tell them whatever had happen I couldn't bare going to class.

I just walked to the TOD's staffroom and told him I was sick.I lied and I wasn't good in lying but the fact that I was crying convinced him.
Being the only person at home,I just headed upstairs to my room.
