Three weeks now.Three weeks had now passed and Noah had persistently walked me home on all the Sundays.Thankfully no one at home had noticed that I had a new male friend.
During the school days he sat at our table at lunch.We also saw each other during training after school since he played soccer.After school everyday three days of the week I had basketball practice together with Quincy.I only trained and played in the home games due to being asthmatic. It had gotten worse the past year so the doctor said and I quote "do not engage in vigorous activities" and that had interfered with my dream of playing basket ball to national level.Quincy on the other hand,all I could say was that the kid was going to be a legend in the coming years.Shamalla played handball while Lucas and Tasha didn't like any sport.Apparently,Noah played for the team as the goalkeeper.I honestly didn't know him.All I knew was that our school had a good goal attendant called Noah,I didn't know him personally.And now here he was walking me home like we had been friends for years.
The walks I could say were quite fun.They were much better than me walking home alone.He usually would wait for me outside.Once I was out we would walk as we talk.We talked about different topics mostly songs and movies.We both loved songs,hiphop to be particular and some other genres too but not as much as hiphop.He was a fun of Wiz Khalifa who to me made me sick to be honest.I was more into Drake and the likes.On the movies we both watched everything apart from the fact that I didn't do romantic ones.There are all so cheesy,filled with too much emotions and gross.Argh.He even laughed when I told him the last time I tried watching one it didn't even take me twenty minutes to remove it.I honestly didn't even remember the name.I still closed myself off despite the many talks we'd had.We did not discuss any important or personal stuff and I was really cool with that.I was glad he was staying in his radar while I was staying in mine.I liked people who kept their limit.

WEDNESDAY.
We were sitted at our table at lunch break discussing the past weeks events.Noah had not come to sit with us today and none of us knew why.Lucas and Quincy were having a mini food fight of fries and peas while Shamalla was busy with a novel with the title 'Psycho'.God she loved that book.She was now reading it for like the third time.
Tasha was still asking questions about Noah ever since I told her about the walks in first lesson.
"He literally just asked out of nowhere?!"This was the third time now a different version."Yeah.I even almost said no until he asked what's the worst that could happen."I said as I dumped a forkful of fries in my mouth.
"And that's been the trend for the past three sundays?"she asked looking at me with wide eyes. "Nop.The second time he asked then the third time he just came along like it was normal."I shrugged."Dude don't you find that a little strange?"she asked while poking my shoulder."Strange,how?You also walk home from church with your friends."
"Yeah.Friends I've known since I was like ten.You met the guy like a month ago and now he's walking you home like you've been the best of friends."she said whisper shouting."Something's definitely up.Imma find out."
"Good luck with that detective."I said sarcastically wondering what she was thinking about.There definitely was nothing.She just thinks too much.That was her personality.Just then the bell signalling the end of lunch break rang.Almost all students left the cafeteria at the same time making the door quite small.We stood back abit to wait for it to clear up then headed to our classes.Quincy turned left on the hall to head to grade ten while we continued down the hall.Lucas then started telling a story about how he got suspended in his previous school for selling fake jelly that made almost half of his class fall sick.We still wondered how he even managed to get the jelly itself.He said he had a supplier who had really good prices.All our attention was on him when Tasha bumped into a guy making her spectacles fall on the ground almost breaking."Argh!For fuck's sake!"she exclaimed looking very irritated with closed eyes as Shamalla helped her move to lean on the lockers.This was the third time in the week that her glasses had hit the floor.Her dad started throwing tantrums last year whenever she told him her spectacles had broken or needed to be fixed."Shit.I'm so sorry."The guy said as he looked down at Tasha.He froze for a momemt staring at her."Yoh bruh,"I smacked him on his arm and it's like he snapped out of whatever dream he was having.He then picked up the glasses and gave them to me as he noticed Tasha wasn't very happy about the incident."I'm sorry.I-I wasn't looking ahead?"he said unsure as I told him it's cool he could leave."Will she be fine?"he asked looking at her."Go!"I said now starting to be impatient with him.I cleaned her glasses using her extra lens cleaner that she gave me to keep in case of such incidents.I then put them back onto her face as she opened her eyes blinking a few times."You good?"Lucas aksed and she nodded her head as we got into class.
After the that lesson,me and Lucas had a free period while Tasha and Sham headed to another class.We walked to the library and went to the librarians desk to register the books we'd picked.As we pulled our chairs to sit Lucas looked at me witg concern."Does she always act that way when that happens?"he asked as we sat down."No.It started last year after her father acted shitty during Christmas holidays."I said and the girls sitting at our table shushed us.I rolled my eyes as Lucas mumbled you shut up."He shouted at her saying she was careless with her glasses."
"For how long has she had glasses.I mean like started wearing them?"
"Since grade six or is it five.Somewhere there."
"Then why is he acting as if she breaks them each year and he has to buy a new pair each time?"
"I don't know he just acted shitty that one time then this week on Monday they fell on the couch when her sister pushed her he threw another tantrum."
Lucas just gazed into the air thoughfully then turned to his book.I knew what he was thinking.Why his dad was making it such a big deal when it was an accident.Actually they all were accidents.
