I slipped into a seat next to Remi and she looked up at me
in surprise.
"You’re in this class?"
"Yeah, awesome right!" I squealed and she gave me a
thumbs up. "Think you can hang out tonight?" I asked.
"I can't, I'm going to the library."
"Oh... Who am I supposed to hang out with!? Lanre has
assignments too and kingsley is like MIA. He was a total jerk at lunch. Any
idea why?" I asked
"No." She said quickly. We didn't talk for the
rest of class and I felt an awkward vibe between us. I tapped my nails on the
desk impatiently. Finally the bell rang and we got up quickly.
Lanre was waiting outside the class. "Hey!" He
called waving us over.
"Hi." I said taking his hand and heading down the
hall. "Hey do you know what’s going on with Kingsley?" I asked.
"Actually I have no idea." He shot Remi a look and
she looked away quickly.
I pulled to a stop in the hall. "OK something is going
on between the two of you and I want to know." I waited for someone to
respond. "Well?"
"Chioma," Lanre began, his face solemn.
"You caught us!" Remi interrupted with a laugh.
"We have been planning a surprise party for you. I told you she would find
out!" She said with a nervous laugh and slapped Lanre playfully upside the
head.
"Sorry!" Lanre gave an uneasy laugh.
"Awww," I smiled and hugged him. "You don't
need to do anything for me!"
"Of course I do." He said with a smile leaning
down to kiss me.
"Chioma!" Remi interrupted. "We are gonna get
stuck in traffic, let’s go now ooo!" I blushed heavily and said my goodbye
to Lanre as we headed towards the school gate.
I linked arms with Remi and smiled. "I have the best
friend in the world."
