Caught In His Web

Chapter 6-Excuse

I kissed Tobi in front of everyone with the big lie that he is my crush,I could feel eyes on me but one I could feel and see was that anger, surprise and disappointment.

I quickly left for the pool so that I could be alone to think of my action and it's consequences and besides things were already awkward because of my action,Olivia was running behind me,trying to gain my attention I didn't give her a listening ear I just wanted to be left alone or probably go home. I sat close to the pool still thinking of my action when I felt a hand on my shoulder,it was Olivia.

"What are you doing here?You are supposed to be with your guests you know"I forced a smile.

"Well,we are about to cut the cake and is also getting late"She replied trying to force me back inside.

"Okay then,I will be there shortly"I lied looking at the pool.

"I know you are not coming,you are obviously lying and is because of the kiss right"She said feeling concerned.

"Do you really like Tobi because I know you did it because of Ife....."She was about to finish her statement when I cut her short.

"Oli,I know you are worried about me but I don't want to talk about it besides there is nothing to worry about"I stated with a fake smile on my face.

She left after awhile,I felt empty I didn't know why because am not supposed to be thinking of a boy knowing fully well that I have to pursue my dreams to make my mum proud but I felt as if I broke someone's heart,my thoughts were cut short again by a male figure sitting next to me,it was Tobi.

"Hey you"Tobi said punching my arm.

"Ouch!I wish that hurt"I replied emotionless.

"Wasup with you,few minutes ago you kissed me as your crush and now you are acting cold to me,isn't this supposed to be the best opportunity for us to date,I mean I like you and you like me,so what are we waiting for?"He said hoping for an opportunity to make us an item.

I was already irritated by my actions and now his presence

arrrhh!!!

Calm down,the best thing to do as a teenager is to ignore him and walk away from him to avoid argument and hurtful words,you don't want to ruin your friend's birthday,Do you? My inner voice said to me.

I decided to listen to my subconscious and walk away,it was 6:42 PM and I wanted to go home badly,I told Olivia I was leaving,she gave me some sweets and cake to take home.

Now it was time to look for my brother,I saw him standing with Jace looking for someone,I walked towards their direction.

"Hey,are you guys looking for me ? I'm right here,Mason can we please go home, I'm tired"I told my brother.

We were leaving but it seemed that Jace wasn't going to go home today,he was going to have a sleepover at our house.

Wow!!!Great!! remind me that tonight is going to be the worst night of my life

We got home and met Maya in the living room watching Toy Story 3 on her laptop.

"Welcome back,my darling siblings and Jace,oya where is my cake,no cake no room entry"She said jingling our room keys in our faces.

"You are not serious,give me my keys joor,am so tired,infact take the cake sef"I said giving her the cake wrapped in foil.

I asked Maya of mum and she said she was asleep,I walked straight to my room hoping to do the same,Thank Goodness tomorrow is Saturday.

I jumped on my bed, shutting my eyes to allow darkness take me to the land of dreams and sweet sleep.

It was disrupted by a knock on my door.
