My Crush

Chapter 23

Deejah POV

I wake up to the sound of my phone alarm, ringing non stop. I got irritated and open my eyes only to remember I was having a test by 6am. I pick my phone that was on top of the nightstand and check the time only to realized I will soon be late, this already 5:40 am.

I hurriedly enter bath room and and got a quick shower then change, and did some little make up. Not like I was in the mood for it but I have to do it in other to cover some reddish mark on my face after mum slapped. So I use a concealer to masked it up.

"Arhh! thinking about everything that happened yesterday really pissed me up, it make me feel terrible and so low of my self. I wish mum could just forgive me and let it go, Am so lost in my river of emotions and its flowing me out of my control, when I needed my mum to forgive me. I wipe away a string of tears on my cheeks and dash out of the room and walk pass the dinning.

"Babe did you know how lucky you were today?" Hafsat asked

I furrow my eyes brow like is she really referring to me. " And how I'm I demn lucky about anything again Hafsat?" I asked popping my eye out, not in the mood.

"Yeah you are, he was just about to lock the door when you came in" She said.

"So? What the lucky thing about that? will just knocked and enter as usual." I shrugged.

"Oh because you're his girlfriend or side chick or even his wife to enter boldly right? You could have carry over the course immediately he lock that door." She said and fold her hand akimbo.

"Oh!" I exclaim. Could not even fathom a word has I realized what she mean by that rather than to thank Allah for saving my life.

"So how was the test today? Mine was terrible because I couldn't read anything last night" I said trying to block away the image of yesterday as it still fresh in my memory. "Could it ever erase again?" I thought

"Walahi is even better that you were not able to read. I even regret wasting my precious time and having sleepless night for this test." Hafsat said disappointed.

"Seem like someone did not do well in her test today try to always attend his lecture rather than just coping his note and buying hand out, you don't know what he might have said during his lecture" Fatima tease and walking into their desk.

"All the way from your department." Mina chirp in.

"Whatever at least am graduating this year unlike you that have one extra year to spend" Hafsat mock and wink at her.

"Hey remember I'm a doctor that will come to your rescue when you're sick, so excuse me one year extra won't hurt much, and believed me the extra year really worth the wait," fatima said proudly has a medical students.

"OK. So Miss doctor, why are you here disturbing our peaceful moment when you should be there reading your tons of books," Mina asked sarcastically.

"Oh so I'm unwanted here?" fatima asked and feigned hurt.

"Please don't mind them, I'm also tired of there ranting, they can be so mean." I said

"I'm craving for ice cream and also tired of sitting here let go out out please at least kakaki ice cream place won't be bad." Mina said pleadingly.

We all agree and emerged out of the school building. Everyone inside there car except Mina who could not drive yet and her driver Mallam Abu travel this morning to his village.

"Babe when will you ever learn how to drive your own car? You better start driving that car of yours and let me be free of driving you about like Mallam Abu, I'm not your driver." I tongue out and I could feel a light tap on my shoulder.
