Maryam's pov
Immediately we got our orders the alluring smell of seasoned chichen hit my nostrils I can wait to dig in. Before I could even do that a girl walked up to our table. You've got to be kidding me.
"who is she" she asked on a normal day I would have put her in her place but I'm hungry and I don't have strength to argue.
"She's umm my bae" he answered and I cringed.
After he answered another boy came towards us and wrapped his hands around her waist. He is a fair boy, cute and tall probably fula. I don't know what's going on and I don't care I just want to eat and leave before my dad calls me because he has to pick me up at 1. They just kept starring at each other making me uncomfortable and I thought Saihou was weird but his friends or whoever they are, are weird and creepy too.

The girl glanced at me and then tugged at the guy's shirt and they left the restaurant as I said I don't care I just want to eat and leave. I started eating but I noticed my fake boyfriend here is just sitting in total bewilderment ugh now I have to act like I care.
"What's up with you" I asked
"Just eat and leave me alone" he snared at me and I rolled my eyes at him.
I can't just eat with someone sitting in front of me looking like a lost puppy with that sad expression.
"That's your business be salty all you want but you are going to tell me who those people are and whatever the hell you're dragging me into" I hissed
"I'll tell you but can you stop yelling" the expression on his face is almost laughable.
"Okay" I said
We ate in complete silence the only noise coming from the cracking of the bones making it awkward.

After he paid for our food we left the restaurant and got into his car and he drove off.
"Spit it out I'm waiting" It came harsher than I intended
"I feel bad for my ears" he said and I smiled
"Where do I start from?" he asked
"The beginning" I answered shortly

Saihou's pov
I can't believe Binta has this much power over me. I literally stuttered, what the fuck is wrong with me. I didn't have any time to dwell on my stupidity before Arrah that fucking idiot came right behind her and wrap his hands around Binta's waist. The waist that only I had the right to touch and I'm pretty sure she still has those waist beads on. I feel like breaking his fingers but I can't because I have to act like I'm also in a relationship.

I was initially in shock and then realization. This is his revenge I hate that Arrah kid I just can't stand him and I know it's mutual he hates me too after what happened. We have been in this ego competition for as long as I can remember and he has never been able to get a one up on me but I guess now he does. He has hit me where it hurts and there is nothing I can do about it. I have to pretend like I dont care just like always, I have to be stronger than my feelings that is what it means to be a man. I glanced at Maryam and she is looking up at them and I suddenly feel bad for bringing her into my shit. She is clueless and I know I owe her an explanation but I'll handle that later. After a stare down with Arrah they both walked away and I sat there in awe.
"What's up with you" Maryam asked
"Just eat and leave me alone" I know I'm being rude but I can't help it.
"That's your business be salty all you want but you are going to tell me who those people are and whatever the hell you are dragging me into" She snapped me out of my trance
"I'll tell you but can you stop yelling like that" she is so lousy damn
"Okay" finally she kept quiet

After we ate in awkward silence I tried to put my thoughts together. Girls don't know this but heart break hurts a guy more than a girl and it fucking sucks that I can't talk to anyone about how I feel right now. We got in the car, I almost thought she forgot but two minutes later she said
"Spit it out I'm waiting" guess she is not letting it go
"I feel bad for my ears" I tried to lighten the mood and she smiled
"Where do I start from?" i asked
"The beginning"

"So that guy that came up to us earlier was my friend but it all became sour when I asked his sister to be my girlfriend and she said yes. So we began dating of course he didn't know and when he found out he asked me to break up with her. I refused and for sometime he was okay with it. So we continued dating for another three months but I wasn't feeling it she was always nagging. I threatened to break up with her and she offered me her body of course I got intimate with her. She told her friend and they got into a fight and they trashed each other to the whole school. Arrah found out and he vowed to take revenge I don't know what the whole issue is because he knows that his sister is not a virgin and she has already slept with half of the boys at school including the juniors. I don't know what the whole issue is. Now he is with my girlfriend well my ex girlfriend to be precise ". I said it all like it's nothing but it's killing me.
"So what does that have to do with me" she asked
"I just wanted to make her jealous" I answered honestly and she laughed good that she is finding humor in my pain.

After some time we got to the school and I called Ismaila my friend
"Boy, where are you"
"In the graveyard, of course I'm in the school" his sarcasm just annoys me
"Okay bring that girl's bag it's in the second class on the last seat"
"K" Who the fuck says k when they are speaking. "
I saw him coming out of the school gate with that dumb hat on his head. No one is allowed in or out the school after 12 but trust Ismaila to talk his way out of any situation.
