CHAPTER SEVEN
IDARA'S POV
Waking up to the sound of an alarm is always frustrating and even more frustrating when it only wakes you up to go to school. The tiring place.
I rolled in my bed again pressing the pillow against my ear and begging the alarm to at least stop blaring directly into my ears.
When I could not take it, I sat straight and banged my hand on the stop button right on top making it keep quiet and I am sure it felt satisfied and fulfilled since it has performed its job.
I stood up slowly and walked to my bathroom. A reminder of what happened yesterday flashed in my head, but I just pushed it back except from the ride with Femi.
He seemed nice, and not mean or cold off like the popular boys I read about in different novels.
I smiled to myself as I prepared for school, when I was done with my daily routine of cleaning and bathing activities, I stepped out of my bathroom.
My sister was in my room standing in front of my closet.
"Mercy what are you doing there? And why are you not getting prepared for crying out loud." I cried out glaring at her. For the past two weeks she has been making me resume late and I was sure I was already one of thee top late comers at school.
Quite a reputation for a new student.
She raised her hands in mock surrender,
"it's not like I waste time." She said, I scowled at her and she just pouted and reversed out of my room, yeah literally reversed.
I chuckled at her little performance and went on with what I was doing.
Today is Wednesday and it was our sport's day. Wednesday was always fun especially with the varieties of sport activities available to pick from.
I wore my sports wear which was a red shorts and light red top. The shorts were quite short, but it was not like I had any other choice. And it fitted me really well unlike my former sports wear which was over-sized.
I tied my white heeled sneaker laces and walked out of my room. My mum called me from downstairs to come get my breakfast.
"Good morning ma." I greeted and sat on the dining, mum already made us sandwich and tea.
"Mercy!" I called out again for the tenth time, like I said she is always like this. Making us late.
"Mercy I swear I am going to leave."
"it's okay sis I am coming."
I gave her a long hiss and walked out of the house. I got into the car and moments later she joined muttering series of sorry which I did not even reply to.
...................
The car stopped at the car park and I got down immediately, we were already late as usual and she started muttering her sorry again making me roll my eyes at her, she was doing t do the same thing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I left her and walked towards the senior block. All the students were already in their class and only few like me was run walking to their classroom.
I walked carefully and slowly when I got close to my class, I wasn't ready to face Liz and even the whole class after I saw their expression at the lunchroom. Quite funny that I was the one rushing back at home and now I just wanted to feel the comfort of my bed.
I entered the class and my eyes quickly found my two friends, they were talking and from the looks of it Angel was still angry at Liz with the way she was moving her arms to illustrate something and the frown on their faces just gave it all up, they were talking about yesterday.
I could not keep on standing so I walked to my seat, greeting my classmates who were seated at the front with a forced smile. I could feel their gaze on me while I walked, when I got there I nodded at Liz, walked to my side of the seat and faked another smile to Angel as I sat down.
It was not up to 30 seconds, Liz held my hand and said;
"Idara I am so sorry okay? I admit I was wrong, and I was not thinking straight when I was talking to you. I know I said a lot, things that I shouldn't have said, and I am so sorry for that I agree I was not in my right sense when I said all that. I really appreciate what you did for me yesterday and only a fool wouldn't be, and I guess I am the fool. You are one of the best thing God has blessed me with."
I just stared at her, processing all what she said in my head. This was the type of apology that I needed and wanted not just a text message.
A grin was making its way to my face as I stared her, she was smiling and pouting at the same time, how did she even do that? and I was trying too hard to stop myself from smiling back.
"Hope that won't happen again?" I asked her back but anyone with eyes could see that I was already smiling.
I couldn't help it no one except maybe my parents, wait, no one has told me such a lovely thing before.
Angel was smiling too. She stretched her hands out and I hugged her with a chuckle, soon enough, Angel joined us, and it turned into a group hug.
Angel stood up and knocked the both of us on our head.
" Ehhhhh what was that for?" I asked her
Teasing was clear in my voice, but on a serious note the knock was painful, I don't know how she did it, but it was like all those knock that typical Nigerian parents will give their children. I swear her children should not make her angry or else they will face the wrath of the knock.
"Why won't I knock the both of you? you guys made me angry yesterday, I hate it when my friends have issues." Angel said angrily but a beautiful smile was placed on her face.
To clear the mood since we were having a free morning period today, I decided to act like my mamas in the amebos (gossip) business centers [ABC].
I cleared my throat like how Liz would do and said
"guess what happened yesterday." I added lots of tension to my voice.
They both stared at each other and muttered "don't know." Liz looked so excited and so curious.
I chuckled at the expression on her face. She placed her head on her folded hands and just stared at me with thoughtful and excited eyes and sharp listening ears.
When I kept on chuckling, she rolled her eyes while Angel just raised an eyebrow.
"girl, just talk." Liz added with urgency in her voice. Girl just calm down, it's not like I would run away.
"Okay here's what happened, while I was trekking ..." ,
Angel quickly cut me off
"you said your driver was going to come pick you." She said with a stern look.
See this is why it's not good to lie.
"Well I was lying, I trekked and then rain started falling and there was nowhere to hide, and then a car just parked at my side... "
I looked at their faces and they both looked intrigued by the story, hope this is not how I look like when someone is telling me something. Cause they look so captivated and serious. I bet it, they do not look serious like this In math class.
I was about to continue when Daniel came to grace us with his presence, looking handsome as usual and this time even had another hood on his tracksuit. It made him look so bad and the tracksuits fitted him well since he was tall.
"Hi ladies." He simply said and as you all have guessed Liz became a blushing mess again!
Nawa o (wow) hope nothing with all these blushing like these.
And then like play, like play, I found myself sitting with Angel while Liz and Daniel were talking about lots of things. They looked so engrossed in what they were saying assnd so cute. I over ship them together.
Angel was busy wiggling her eyebrows at me in excitement and I just laughed out because she looked so funny. She should leave Liz, let her enjoy her supposed sweet conversation with her boo.
I heard Daniel apologize to Liz, I think for yesterday. And don't ask me how I heard. I wasn't listening to what they were saying but I heard it because they were near me.
Moments later his own friends too decided to grace us with their presence. They both had their hands in their pockets and walked with swag. The girls in the class followed their movement and for the first time, I joined them.
I looked at Femi, he looked like his usual emotionless self unlike yesterday when he was smiling and laughing. He also dressed the same style Daniel did and his tracksuit looked like it was custom made.
I did not know what got into me cause instead of just watching quietly I decided to thank him for the ride.
"Hey Femi." I said to him, he looked at me with a look I could not decipher and then he said what made me decide never to greet this boy first or anytime soon.
"Daniel let's go I don't want just anybody talking to me." He said as he rolled his eyes.
he didn't even wait for their response, he just left.
