Need A Stack

Chapter 5: Instagram.

Do we settle for the world as it is,or do we work for the world as it should be-Mitchell Obama.

Juliet stayed over at my place for some few weeks before going to her apartment.. I preferred that for sure cause I was getting tired of the boredom and the loneness in my house. At times we could go out for dinner in the restaurants around, have some fun then get back just to sleep. She was really a nice girl that anyone would've wished for a friend.

"Harriet's random messages has been popping up on my phone lately and she seems to be mad over something."

Juliet started this conversation one night after our long day which we had spent swimming in Joma restaurant after having salad with chicken, cheese carrots, hummus and crackers for lunch.

"Is.... everything okay? "
"Not really... she kinda thinks I'm cheating on her with you... tragic?! "

Oooh nooo this is not happening again. Me over another relationship... is this my other course in school again! It all started with Alicia and Chris and yea I'm the one who messed up.... but this one! I'm just a friend and the world should know that too!.

It was two weeks before the semester could reach an end and I was really praying that I surely have a nice ending. Thou Harriet wouldn't let me!

"I think you should go talk to her. Make it clear to her that nothing is really happening between us. Trust me Juli I wouldn't wish you two to break up because of me. Maybe some other reasons but not me.... It really haunts me to know I created a whole big drama between Alicia and her love and I wouldn't take it with you again. "

I talked this shite out.

That was the least I would wish for. Harriet can't just break up with her like that.. She better clear things out before its too late. Juli surely listened to me and went to her place. Everything has not been okay ever since I stepped my foot in this school.. Was this why daddy was so worried about me in the first place.... I'm such an obstacle in people's lives and maybe I should stop making friends to avoid such drama.

I was a few days to my exams and not even a bit of me seemed to care. I was all worried about Juli... Did Harriet even believe her? I quickly picked my phone to call her....

"Juli.... Hello.. He.. Helloo. "
"Hheey babes hi.. Ssup. "
"Uuhm did you talk to her? "
"Ooow sorry yes I did... She is okay now...infact I'm spending my weekend over at her place... She's really happy to have me around... And sorry I didn't tell you that day.. I know it got you all worried.. Chills baby we're all fine! "

The best news I've heard so far... they're fine now..at least I can consider my exams now.... I'm not up to having any more bad news in the upcoming days and with that... I have to work on my papers.... Wherever Alicia and Chris have been all this time... That should be among the least of my worries and I'm happy I can overcome thinking about them.

I had to freshen up and apply a little cream and foundation with some eye-shadow may be by any chance take a snap and post it for the first time on Instagram.....

'Poor face for a poor semester. '

That would be my caption.. and of course I did that and I thought the world should know what I've just went through for the past few months.

It's been a whole rough time and I only wished I could have my family with me..no love life, no friends to last, no long lasting smiles..no yeses and it all ended up so boring.

I knew the next time would end up being the best moment if only I could work on achieving that.

As I was still lost on my thoughts...my phone rang 'Wow so I still have people who can call me'.... awkward.... It's a new number though.. Who could it be...

"Hello... Is this Amanda? "
"Yea and who's this? "
"Woooow!!! Amanda!! Its been a while since we last talked I really missed you! "
.
'Well okay you did! But who are you ' I wonder why this tough sound from the other side never cared to answer my question..I couldn't trace the mature bass thou he sounded as if we'd known each other for a long time. The person in the other end whom I could tell was male spoke timidly in a tremulous voice which he really tried to under proof the fact.

"Ow sorry it's Alvin. Can you remember me? Okay I'll understand if you don't... It's been more than a year before we saw each other and that's so long for you to have a clue about me. "...

He ended up in a long introduction when he noticed my silence.

How can I even forget this guy! The idiot that messed up my life in highschool...and how did he even get my number..tragic!

"Yes Alvin ... long time how's everything"...I managed to say this after a long pause thinking wether to just cancel the call and block him from getting through my phone ever again or just play along to find out what he really wants from me this time.

"Everything is good unlike the fact that I can't stop thinking about you."
"Thinking about what???!"
"You Amanda...you know it's been long and we really made a lot of memories before and the thought of it keeps lingering on my head."
"Is....is.. this why you called me? To keep on lying to me? Why don't you just leave me alone!"

I said this out loud as I annoyingly pressed on the end call button cursing myself on why I even received the call in the first place.

This is the type of bad energy that I'd decided to get over and move on like it never was a phase in my life..Alvin kept on calling and texting non-stop. What sent him this time! Is he up to destroying me real hard that I can't manage to get better again!?

I decided to take a break from thinking about that and went to my Instagram page to see how many likes I managed on my last post.... Alvin is there...with the longest comment among them all. Praising me for growing more cute and flossing like never before...woah so this is where this guy saw me and decided to stalk me out and get my number....

I bet this time it's not going to work and I'm not giving any second chance if that's what he's really up to. Infact I have exams to think about..he should really get a life now.

Immediately I grabbed my books at the shelf,wore my Cozette Slides and strolled my way to the library..I need a grade that's all I knew...after a so long hectic first year at school maybe this could act as my escape goat.

And Alvin...I'll figure out how to deal with him after my papers.
