Chasing Dreams

He liked me

Chioma

The next day at school I sat down evolved in my own world as usual seeing as I did not have a class when a guy walked into the class. He was a new student. Jesus,why did new people have to start coming to our school. No. My class. I glanced at him taking in all his features. He had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I wondered if they were contacts. His sweatshirt clung tightly around his body but I thought they were supposed to be free clothes. Anyways,he was tall like 6'1 probably and dark skinned. Ew. I was never the one to gawk at boys but maybe it was because I was used to seeing ugly boys all over. I heard girls gasping and whispering things along the lines of 'Bloody hell' or 'He's hot'. Desperate people. Although they wouldn't sleep with him if he gave them a chance. They'd only do stupid things like kiss him in the secluded library or offer to give him a blow job under the library table and he'd probably agree.
"Why are these people acting like this like they haven't seen a guy",Evelyn said disrupting me from thoughts.
"I don't even know. They sure desperate as hell but to be sincere it's been long they've seen someone this fine."
"Chioma Flora Johnson. Are you admitting that a boy is fine? I mean I thought you hated them. At a point I thought you were a lesbian. This is excellent news",she said under ten seconds. She talks too fast.
"But he's fine that doesn't mean anything now."
"I'll make sure you get him. Look he's even coming here",she said again in her extremely high pitched voice that is so annoying at times.
The boy walked towards us and said his name was Joseph.
"Well Joseph you're quite a fine man. I'm Evelyn and this weirdo is Chioma",Evelyn said. God why did she have to be so loud. She said I was a weirdo. Way to 'making sure I get him'. Silly girl.
"Yeah I'm Chioma the weirdo. What did you need Joseph?",I said with an eye roll. Rude much C.
"Um well the rest of your classmates seem creepy gushing over me like I'm some celebrity. You people didn't seem to care about me or that so I thought I'd say hi",Joseph said. He thinks the class is creepy. One point to being a friend. He noticed I don't care. Another point.
We had a long funny discussion and I never though I'd laugh as much two days ago. First Evelyn now Joseph.
Fast forward to closing time and we exchanged phone numbers.
At home I talked to him practically all night sometimes with Evelyn until I got tired.
••••••••••••••••••
Everything practically went well the next day until Joseph dropped a bomb. He told me on the phone that he liked him and I was speechless so I quickly hung up. I ran to the mirror to look at myself. I had extremely short stubborn hair,a birth mark by my nose,very tiny breasts and buttocks. And dark skin not like anything was wrong with that but I mean. What did the guy even see? Was it even possible to like someone under 48 hours? He must have been drunk or blind. Most likely stupid.
Why am I even bothered by this? Oh right I have never heard such a thing. No guy had ever told me he liked me. A fine one at that. I mentally slapped myself. And then I went ahead and did something stupid. I called him. He asked if I was angry and I said I wasn't. I was blushing the whole time.
And again he dropped another. He asked me to come to his house. It was 5:30pm. Didn't he know what country he lived in and that I was a girl? Yet he said it was normal 'jare'. Since it was that normal, I wore tight jeans and a faded top,grabbed my phone and went out to his house since my mother worked until 10pm today and my parents were divorced so I was home alone most times.

Drum rolls. It's normal right.
I think this was a plot twist.
My intention wasn't for this book to become a romance. Yk the cliche ones where fine guys fall for fine girls. Chioma has a purpose but who knows if she finds love too.

I thought I'd write 1k words by I couldn't 😪😭😭
