Insipired (chasing sunset☀)

Chapter four👑

                  <SLANG SPIRIT>

We both went upstairs and entered into ss3 A1 class. Jamil's classroom.

"Yo! Ali?", Jamil called out to his classmate, smiling boyishly.

"Yo wassup?", Ali replied walking up to us. He returned the same boyish smile. They both shook hands. I guess their usual guy code handshake, and then used their shoulders to bump into each other playfully. "What now? You're friends with the school nerd?"

"We not friends", I said ostensibly beside Jamil and he burst into laughter.

"Yeah. For the fact that we train together doesn't make us friends". He confirmed.

Ali cocked his brows in surprise. His mouth formed an 'O' shape. "You guys train together?"

Jamil suckled on his lower lip before replying, "yeah! Buh she mah girl. We're buddies." He teased and used his shoulder to hit me, grinning and I glanced at him. "Isn't that right Queen?" He winked at me for a positive reply.

Oh is that so Jamil Peterson?.. I had no idea...

"Y-yes. We are". I pinched him stylishly.

"That is...." Ali shrugged spontaneously with a mischievous grin. "JP can I talk to you? In private..."

     Jamil looked at me. "Hey keep your balance. Am coming", he said and left with Ali to another corner of the class. Ali's seat I guess.

     I was busy studying the rest of the student and they were all busy. Some girls gisting their time away. Some copying notes. Some singing, and some boys playing. If you ask me, this was really a huge club of it's own.

"Oh my God!" I exclaimed in shock as I turned to see who it was that tickled me!!

     Hero laughed hysterically. "Whoa! Your battery is way up in the sky you know", he warbled his tongue, demonstrating with his hands and pointing them to the top. "That was a sharp one."

"Don't! Ever do that again please," I warned, panting like I ran a mile. "I do not like to be touched!" I stated, making it clear.

"What are you doing in my class?", he asked pridefully, chewing a gum and not minding my attitude.

"Am here with Jamil Peterson," I answered.

"J-Jamil? What are you doing with him?". No matter how much he tried to hide the sarcasm in his voice, it was pointless. Is this jealousy or what?

     You know, another thing about my condition is that I cannot tell when someone is coming unto me. I tried to ignore that question by putting my thoughts some where else but the worst of all happened. I kicked eyes with Mia. And she was staring daggers at me with a murderous glare.
I averted my gaze quickly, and I sighted Jamil walking over to me.

"Hey boo", Mia cooed at Jamil while passing him by.

     He looked at her unusually noticing the attitude she displayed earlier to me. "Hey how are you?" He mumbled his question in a bemused way.

     She gestured in response, cocking her head with a smirk. She passed him.

"Hey.. You guys have any beef?" He asked me later, when he got to me and I shrugged nonchalantly not knowing what to reply him.

"That is definitely because she saw us together", I finally concluded.

 "That is crazy." He remarked with an annoying chuckle.

     Jamil makes a joke out of everything.

"Heyyo! Wassup Dean?" He shook hands with Hero, still standing behind me.

     Oh my God! How can I be so rude? I totally disregarded his presence. Only a snub will do that. But wait, apart from the handshake, Hero did not utter a thing to Jamil. That is what I call rude.

     Jamil turned back to me. "C'mon. let's go". He took my hand and led the way. I gave Hero one last glance and he was staring back at me, though I could not read his expression.

                         * * * * * *

"So what? I saw you and Dean earlier. You guys close?" Jamil asked while we were walking  home together after school.

"No. We are not. He has just been stalking me for sometime now. I have no idea why?" I replied.

     He smirked, glancing at me. "I think he's into you."

"Am not allowed to date."

     He scoffed, "you're seventeen."

     I stopped and looked at him sternly. "So what?"

     He widened his eyes on sensing my seriousness. "C'mon am sorry. Just trying to joke my way in." He defended apologetically.

    I straightened my face and cleared my throat. "Fine."

     When we got to the front of my compound, I glanced at him and swallowed hard. "So bye bye."

He held my hand back.

"Before you go in, use the slang I taught you today", he ordered with a grimace at my face.

     A smile curved my lips and I obeyed. "Yo!.... So I'll see you tomorrow ho.. Homie?" I stuttered. Was not so bad after all.

     He smiled with a satisfaction on his face. "Yeah- you good. You're fast", he commented. "I'll call you the usual time."

"Okay", I agreed. I almost went in and he called me back. "The team's handshake?"

     I rolled my eyes at his request and we did the same handshake he did with Ali and Hero earlier.

     He made it clear to me that to be in the team, you have to learn that and to go with vibe of slang!! That is a really big one for me. I just hope with his tutors I can catch up.

     I bid him goodbye, going in with a wild grin. Jamil really does know how to touch a whole joint. He always gets me in the mood I can never imagine myself in. Honestly, I think he is talented.
