Honestly, seeing those nonesense SS1 boys call Idara those names made my blood boil...sure the Idara and Idy were okay, but that stupid Abdullah had to call her 'Idy baby', like, is he all right...

Those boys were the popular SS1 boys or whatever they call themselves, I don't give a damn.

I know Abdullah because he's one of the people in my room and he's very rich, so practically he expects everyone to fall at his feet.

Idiocy...

After I made them leave the class, I so desperately wanted to tell Idara that I like her but it seemed as though she was in a hurry to leave, like she was avoiding me or something.

So I asked her but she said she wasn't...as you see me so, I already know when a girl would reject me and the way she was doing things shows that she would, this was just the first stage.

When I finally told her that I like her and she liked me too, I was more than happy but then she added, 'as a friend', it was as if she knew where this conversation was headed to...

She friend zoned me...

Why would she do that?

She knows that I like her already, then why?

"You have to give her time John."

I turned to where the voice came from, it was Godspower, one of the first friends I made when I arrived this school.

"How did you know what I was saying?"

"You said it out loud, dude."

"Ohh..."

"As I said, you have to give the chick time, she's not like all these our class girls that you see around that will just fall for anything that comes out from a fine boys' mouth, she's different, I'd say unique, girls like her are very rare to find, just keep trying, don't lose hope, you'll get what you want sooner or later."

"Okay, I've heard you."

"Alright see you man."

"Yeah."

I hugged him and let him go.

I couldn't concentrate, what Idara had said was still fresh in my memory. Guy, you need to forget this thing, you just started this new school. Don't get too worked up about such a small issue, she'll come around, they always do...

I went back to the hostel to sleep, I told the junior that was sleeping beside me to wake me up when it was 5 o'clock.

When it was 5, he did what I told him to. I got up from my bed and went to take a long shower, but immediately after the cold water hit my skin, my mind just change.

Guy, the water dey too cold, be like say I go freeze self (The water is too cold, it's like I would freeze).

After contemplating on what to do... I will waste time if I go to get hot water and I will still waste time in bathing the cold water, so I decided to bathe the cold water at once.

Once I was done, I went to my room, put on our hostel wear and sat on my bed.

I was thinking of calling Idara but the problem here is that I don't know if she'll answer because normally girls chicken out when I tell them how I feel, dem girls...

Sometimes I wonder how girls reason, abeg, let me not even go there before my head will blow.

Then, I decided to message her friend, umm, what's her name, em, yes, Kate, I think she's her best friend, that day at the dinning hall, sha, how that one epp me, but to be frank, she's beautiful too and she gather self.

I messaged her.

Me: Hi Kate.

It took a few minutes but then she answered.

Kate: Hi John, wassup?

Me: Nothing much. I just wanted to know if Idara is with you.

Kate: Yes, she is, but unfortunately ever since she came back from the block she's refusing to talk to anyone.

Oh...

Me: Alright.

Kate: Do you want me to tell her anything, you could tell me and I'll pass the message to her.

Me: No, I'll just call her later. Thanks anyway.

Kate: Okay, later.

Me: Yeah.

She wasn't talking to anyone, is it because of what I had told her, or something else.

I don't know what to do...I kept scratching my head, with so much force I was sure it would hurt later but now I really don't care.

I need advice on how to talk to girls, I get the fact that I'm a playboy, guy, I sabi that one but Idara is so different from the other girls sha, so I need to be careful with her.

And there's only one person that can help me, my senior sister, Mmedara.

That girl should better answer my calls so, her that she likes putting her phone on silent mood, she should not even try it now that I am in need of her services.

She finally picked on the fourth ring... typical Mmedara.

"Brother, how are you?!!!"

Geez...

"You wan blow my eardrums?"

"No, brother, it's not like that."

"Then it's like how?"

"Brother, forget that thing."

"Okay, why didn't you answer your call?"

"Sorry, it was on silent."

"You've started again, why did you put it on slient sister?"

"I was busy jhoor, must I always tell you why I put my phone on silent enn?"

"Senior Madam. Sorry ooo."

"Ehn, so why did you call me?"

"Is it a crime to call my elder sister again???"

"Did I say it is a crime?, Now tell me why you called me, I know there must be a reason behind you calling, come on, spill the beans, I'm waiting for gist ni."

"See this one."

"If you don't tell me, I'll cut the call and leave you and I'll refuse to pick up your other calls."

"Sister calm down, I go tell you (I will tell you), I need advice on how to get a girl, enm, someone who's like a nerd to fall for me."

"Brother, ahh, is that what Daddy sent you to go and do in school."

"Sister, you sabi say I no get time for this kind thing, you go help me or not?" ( You know that I don't have time for such jokes, will you help me or not?)

"Small boy, calm down, I was only teasing you, now tell me what really happened..."
