KIISHA

It's been three days now and Jared didn't talk to me, I was really missing his voice but I just can't go to him. Call it pride or whatever, I can't beg him and whereas he's my opponent so he should be in my enemy zone and not friendship zone. During the extra class, he'd greet Idiat and ignored me, even during our study periods, whenever I say anything, he just keeps quiet and turns to the other guys or Idiat.

In class now, if he isn't talking to his friends, then he'll talk to Kiiti or Aminat. Can you imagine? Aminat of all person and that one has been smiling all over the school while eyeing me whenever we meet, the idiot is even passing rumors that they were dating, not like I care but I just don't believe Jared would stoop so low to date someone like Aminat but I can't blame him sha.

Even during lunch or dinner, he doesn't talk to me, even though we sit opposite each other, he tried so hard not to allow our eyes meet, he's always laughing and talking with my girlfriends and it's making me feel left out and bad, did I do anything wrong?

"You're not doing it right, Kiisha, you're to add a drop and not excess," Jared said belligerently. So now he calls me Kiisha and not Riff or Aanuoluwakiisha and it's really piercing me.

"What?"

"You're not doing it right, if you can't do it well, just tell me instead of doing nonsense," he snapped and all eyes turned to us.

We were in the chemistry lab having practical and we were still partners.

A piercing shot of anger coursed through me, "Do it yourself then," I said angrily as the conical flask slipped from my hand and shattered into pieces, thank goodness it didn't contain acid.

"Ouch," I shouted in pain, turns out the pieces of the broken glass were on my leg and had cut me.

"Are you okay?" Jared asked in concern and I wondered if he was possessed or something.

"You're hurt," our teacher said on sighting my leg that was now bleeding, I bent down in pain.

"Let me take you to the clinic," Jared offered and I nodded, the pain didn't allow me to choose.

In a twinkle of an eye, Jared carried me in bridal style and walked out of the class as the whole class murmured, I curled my hands around his neck as I tried to look anywhere but his face, I felt safe in his hand and didn't utter a word till we got to the clinic.

"What happened?" Nurse Titi asked but when she sighted my bleeding leg, she ordered Jared to drop me on a bed as she rushed in to get the stuffs she'll use for the treatment.

Throughout the treatment Jared stayed with me.

"Will you like to take some rest or go back to class?" Nurse Titi asked immediately she finished bandaging my leg.

"I'll just go to class," I said as I tried standing up, Jared came to my side and helped me up.

"Okay, be careful oo, and come back after closing," Nurse Titi said with a smile. She was a very jovial person and the only nurse the students liked, the other nurse was always frowning as if we were the one that made her husband divorced her.

Jared placed his hand on my waist and I flinched a bit before getting accustomed to it.

"I'm sorry," Jared said and I wondered if he was possessed. I looked at him in surprise and he smiled, his dimples appeared and I looked away quickly.

"I'm sorry too," wait, did that just come out of my mouth?

"I guess we're on good terms now," he flashed me a cool smile and I returned the smile as we headed to the lab, all the steps I took, he helped me.
