Charity felt more relaxed and prepared to face the new week. She had planned to be a diligent timekeeper and not let her secret admirer issue disturb her. According to Laurence, all the psycho could do was see her, if he dared any more, he would be caught and punished. Meanwhile, Laurence promised to be on the lookout.

On Monday, when it was time for assembly, he met her in her class as students were leaving. He opened her desk.

'Any new letter?'

'No.'

'Okay na. I'll stay here till assembly is over and you're back.' He sat. 'Please go to my class and tell Anu to bring my Chemistry textbook and any spare jotter she has.'

'Is she your new girlfriend?'

He frowned at her before laughing. He was glad she felt at ease enough to tease him.

'Abeg, go.'

A minute after the last person left, Anu came with two Chemistry textbooks and three notes.

'I said only one o.'

She laughed and tapped his head with a pen.

'I'm reading Chemistry too.' She sat two seats behind him. Why are you here?'

'I want to personally catch the mumu boy that is disturbing Charity.'

Anu gave a long pause before saying, 'Egghead, if he sees you here, do you think he will come and drop a letter?'

He chuckled. 'If I don't catch him by constantly being in the way, then I'll stop him from sending her stuff and disturbing her. It's a win-win. Why are you even here?'

'Because you are.'

He choked, literally. It should have made her laugh but she was worried and patted his back with both hands until he calmed down. Then he laughed and she became annoyed.

'If you like, let the whole school know you're laughing, when Mr. Joshua comes to chase us from here, you'll know.' She hissed and wrote on her book.

There were days when SS3 students did not have classes during assembly, so they read in their classrooms instead, under the supervision of a teacher who was ready to discipline. Laurence totally forgot about the supervision part.

'Oya, sorry. I'll be quiet.'

The silence became too unbearable for him after some minutes. He stood up and walked to the door.

'Where're you going to?' Anu whispered loudly.

'To use the restroom.'

He succeeded in getting there without being caught. It was when he was halfway to SS1B that he heard his surname bellowed. He cringed and faced Mr. Joshua, ready with his excuse.

'Sir, I can't---'

'Save it and get into your class.'

'Sir, my---'

'Into your class now.' He commanded.

Laurence sighed and turned back to his class. To his surprise, he found Anu at the window seat.

'He chased me,' she told him. 'He went class by class to chase anyone he saw. But I've been watching the class sha, none of our classmates reached there.'

'Okay, thanks.'

She handed him his textbook and continued looking out the window.

'Assembly is even over.'

Laurence's head shot up. 'Shit, I have to be there until she comes.'

He scrambled up but she held him back. 'This Literature guy won't let you, you know that.'

'I have to be there. What if the person is among them and leaves another letter before she comes?'

She let him go. He was hurrying when Mr. Joshua shouted, 'Wokoma, get back to your class now.'

He did not wait or turn, he just shouted back, 'Sir, assembly is over. I need to collect my books.'

He was sweaty a minute after he landed on Charity's seat. It was a risk he took, but he would do anything for his only sibling. The students had started trooping in and heat came with them. He opened her desk to collect a book he could use to fan himself, what greeted him was another letter.

Aaaaaaand cut!
THE END!!!
💃💃💃
This is actually the second story I've ever completed in my life that isn't for an English essay. The first was six years ago, I can't even remember what I wrote about.
Well, a happy ending, right?😁
I'm hoping to start another short story, no promises yet, though.
I hope you enjoyed.
Love,
Dee.
