Lectures have started and it's two weeks now and Tory is not around. I became worry but the others seem not to care. Today is Saturday and when I see that everyone was in;
"Tory is not in school". I said.
"Ade, everyone sees that" Antho replied jokingly.
"OO, you don't have her number?" I asked.
"No one does". OO replied.
It's so serious that we don't have each other's number in this room. Now we've not heard anything about Tory.
"Maybe she's still enjoying the holidays, she will soon come". Antho said.
I pray and hope Antho is right. Our room door open.
"Let's go out to enjoy". Tife shouted.
"And you can't knock, simple courtesy". I said.
"Abegi, dress up and let's go". She said.
That was how I and Antho dressed up and as we were about to leave I said goodbye to OO and I felt bad for her. I was tempted to say we should take her along but Antho will never agree. She responded and we moved out.
Our going out was just trekking and checking school out. We laughed at some old buildings in the school, some funny names given to some restaurants and some students dressing and walking step . It was fun.
"Hello ladies". We all look side way to see Jamal and his friends.
"Hi". Tife and Antho greeted.
"Tife Tife. How far na". Jamal faced Tife.
"Abeg, don't greet me". Tife said.
"I don't know your name o". He said looking at me.
" Adeola but you can call me Ade". I said.
"I will prefer Deola". He said.
Gosh I hate people calling me that but this proud and rude guy I can't argue with because I don't want to be embarrassed. He was busy speaking with Tife as we continued walking. Not long is three friends left and he was still walking with us. Gosh, can he just leave he has taken my friends completely from me. He was speaking with Tife but Antho was interested because of this her obsession with him.
"Erm, Deola, you are not contributing". Jamal turned to me and then moved to my side. I was shocked why is he interested in my contribution.
"Are you a shy type". He asked.
"What's that, I'm not". I said.
"Sorry for asking o. But you've been mute all day. I thought you were dumb". He said smiling.
"Jamal". Tife shouted.
That was an insult obviously but I just didn't say anything because I don't like causing a scene. If you like call me coward, I don't care.
"Jamal, we are going to our hostel. Bye". Tife said as she held my hand.
Antho said goodbye too and we started moving to the hostel.
"I'm sorry about what Jamal said", Tife said. I nodded because I know if I talk I will cry cause I felt so embarrassed.
When we got to the hostel I went to our room immediately and I went to my bed straight to get the stupid crying thing off my head. I felt Tife and Antho's presence but I pressed my head into the pillow.
"Let's leave her". Antho said and they both left my side.
I sobbed into my pillow, call me cry cry baby but I don't like embarrassment. From crying I slept off.
