Finding Her Inner Self

Chapter Two✨

          ||Chapter Two||

The birds chirped and the sun's rays filtered into the room through the windows waking me up from my sleep. I checked the time on my alarm clock and realized that it was seven a.m in the morning.

I had a class by ten a.m and it was an important class. It was a Monday so I had to dress formal as per the rules of my school. I said my morning prayers and after walked to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

I noticed Tade stir in her sleep and I smiled slightly at how cute she was. She arrived from Dayo's place really late last night and immediately retired to bed, deciding to discuss with me later in the morning.

I came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed after showering and brushing my teeth when I noticed Tade sitting awake on her bed fidgeting.

"Good morning Tee"

"Hey morning"
She answered picking up her phone and scrolling through her texts with worry in her eyes

"What's wrong?"I asked as I applied my body lotion.

"I'm in big trouble mobsy"

"What do you mean?" I asked confused

"Remember the project I told you about?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Its due Wednesday" she stated with fear in her eyes

"What?!"I asked surprised.

"And I haven't even started yet, what am I going to do?"

"Why didn't you do it at Dayo's place?"I asked

"It slipped my mind okay!" she stated with a frown confusing me.

"Slipped your mind?"

"Yes"

"Do you even hear yourself tee?!, that project represents your full grade this semester. Remember you aren't writing any exams on that course. This project is your exam and you're telling me it slipped your mind?!"
I screamed scolding her as I watched her fidget more.

"I'm sorry mobsy, I just wanted to spend more time with Dayo without any interruptions"

She explained with tears in her eyes making me sigh sadly.

"Don't cry tee" I said as I hugged her tightly as she cried harder.
Tade is extremely emotional, little things tends to hurt her and then she erupts in a fit of tears.
She was never the type to forget her books and allow a boy fill up her thoughts.

We've both gotten this far in our academics because of this particular motto ' Books Before Boys'. So why now?, why is she letting Dayo fill every bit of her mind and preoccupy her thoughts.

"It's because I love him Mobsy"

She said with more tears in her eyes as she turned to look at me.

Oh I guess I said that out loud.

I thought

"Tee, I bet that if you had explained to dayo about this he would have given you time to do your project. I know he would have even helped out" I explained

"I know mobsy, but I didn't want to disappoint him you know. His birthday was the next day, I didn't want to look like a selfish girlfriend. I just wanted him to be really happy"

She said wiping her tears with her hands.

"Its okay, don't cry anymore. I'll help you when I'm back from class okay" I reassured her with a smile
