"Hey, is that seat taken?" Zainab's annoyingly cheerful  voice chirped snapping me out of my reverie. Whipping my head towards her direction, I stared at her in disbelief and surprise my mouth agape.

Looking back at the empty chair and then her, I tried to speak but the words refused to form, my thoughts were disorientated my brain couldn't comprehend what was happening. She... Sit... Me... I couldn't find the connection between these three words.

Never in a thousand years did I think a classmate would want to sit with me, I was classified as that weird, awkward nerd that sits alone, Even in the cafeteria no one seats with me, they all wanted to seat with their friends which is something I don't have.

Dumbfounded, I glanced around the class, they were a lot of empty seats around and a lot of boys were staring longingly at her and my seat probably wishing they were me, she stood there smiling sweetly at me awaiting my answer, as much as I wanted to answer I was tongue tied.

Why in the world would she want to seat with me?

"So..." She drawled out the smile never leaving her face "Can I seat with you?" She asked.

Someone scoffed.

"Why would you want to seat with her" Nessa said lacing her voice with as much contempt and disdain as she could muster, she said it like I had an infectious disease or something like that. "When you could seat with us" she added sweetly.

Vanessa never asks someone to sit with her, keyword never, it was always the other way round and they never get to seat with her, and by the new girl's appearance you know she'll either become one of Nessa's bimbos or stand against her which is kinda rare.

I stared at her the new girl strangely trying to gauge her reaction, most girls I know would jump at the opportunity to sit with Nessa probably cause it guarantees your popularity, I wondered if she was one of them.

"Nah! I think I'll pass" she said disinterestedly. Vanessa's face changed and a pin drop silence fell on the class "But I think my brother would love to sit with you..." She added dismissively her eyes on me the whole time, Nessa's eyes lit up immediately turning to him with a flirtatious smile she called out in a voice I assume she thought was sultry but in reality it sounded really desperate "Ib w..."

"No" he replied icily cutting her short, moving to the last single chair at the back.

The class erupted in shouts and hoots whilst clapping for the boy and hailing him. It was a known fact that no one dared say No to Vanessa Evans, The girls were either afraid of her or idolized her and the boys... I don't need to talk sef, she had charmed every single one of them. But two people rejected her flat out today.

Madd oh!

Yeeh! This one entered her

See the way they finished her

Who dem give that one?

The look of Nessa's face was priceless, her cheeks burned red with embarrassment and her mouth hung open in shock and disbelief. It took some seconds for her to register that she had been rejected, different emotions flashed in her eyes as her cheeks flamed with resent, anger and embarrassment glaring daggers at some of my classmates that still dared to pass snide comments.

I looked at Zainab in a new light, something akin to admiration and respect. Judging from her appearance you would classify her as the kind of girl that would kiss the ass of the likes of Vanessa just to gain popularity.
