Idara's POV
I looked up and the branch has already fallen , did he just hug me to protect me.
I thought as my heart started beating so fast.
"Owww." Femi said as he pulled himself from the hug.
I just stood there looking like a fish that was brought out of the water.
And then everything clicked , he just got hit too.
"Are you okay ?? Why will you do that ? , Oo God let me see it ." I said as I turned to look at his back.
Thank God it was only his clothes that was stained.
I heard him laugh"I was expecting a thank you, or a hug."
"Which kind hug.  Thanks, you saved my life." I told him , meaning every word.
"No prob , I didn't want you to get hurt because of me."
"How is it because of you ?"
I asked him as we both sat down under another tree .
"I don't know, the five treasures was already enough I guess ."
I laughed at how he said it , actually admitting what I said earlier.
"U are not serious, anyhow sha , it's not your fault . "
"Na you talk am ooo" he said back.
I stared at him unbelievingly, "eeeeeehhhh, for your dirty mind your broken English is smooth.
"(Nigerians can relate. Broken English is a typical Nigerian English.).
We both laughed at what I said , I was slowly falling asleep after lots of gisting.
I felt someone place my head on a pillow , a very comfortable pillow, so I made myself more comfortable.
____________________________
I woke up to a light snore , to find half of my body on Femi's and my head on his shoulder.
Eweh , he was the pillow I was talking about .
I looked at him as he was sleeping, he looked so cute , and I couldn't help but stare.
As my heart rate increased again , I wanted to sleep back but am sure he would notice , I don't know.
It's already in the evening and no teacher is around.
"Hey , you awake." Femi said in a husky voice as he yawned , .
I couldn't help but notice how the butterflies in my stomach increased again .
He looked at me and tucked one of my braid to the back .
I couldn't move , I did not even know what to do as he moved his hand to my cheek.
"Let's play 20 questions." He suggested and dropped his hand back .
"Okay oo , am in ."  "It's not like you had a choice.".  "Na you know . First question, what's your........."
I couldn't complete my question as I was cut off by an annoying looking Femi.
"Ask better question jare , not all these best , best .
Maybe when we are tired or when we run out of questions we can ask all those ones."
"Okay , so do you have a girlfriend?" I asked him, silently wishing for him to say no.
"No , Do you have a crush on anyone?"
He asked me "yeah." I answered back.
Well he was the one I had a crush on but he didn't need to know.
I looked at him and he looked disappointed
"who??"Â He quickly asked me.
"One question na , it's my turn . And I think we should start walking back , you know maybe we can meet them ."
I said as I stood up "yeah you are right."
We both started walking back to the place I guess we came from , since there was no map anymore.
And the teacher had changed the location of the excursion earlier , to another place.
" So ..... I don't know what to ask you , since it's not best best ." I said to him truthfully, I was tired of raking my brain (thinking).
"Okay ask me anyone." He said as he chuckled.
"Hmm so what's your best moment?" I asked him and turned to look at him.
His face turned sad somehow, I didn't know why but I really wished I didn't asked him that question.
He sighed and answered me , I wasn't even sure that he would answer me .
"It's been long , I was like 7, my mum and I went to an amusement park , that was the most splendid moment of my life. It was my first time there too and it was like a wish of mine at that time."
He sounded sad too , wait wasn't it his mum that he snapped picture with at his house , which they arranged in the passage .
"But why didn't you build another moment with her , has she been busy."
He didn't answer at first , he looked at me and muttered something along the line what am I doing to him.
I wasn't doing anything to him na ,
"you can't ask two questions, my turn .
Who's your crush ?"
Immediately he asked that question I almost chocked "it's a .... Secret. "
"Are u sure?" " Yeah , even my friends don't know."  "Because it's me right ?" He asked me smirking  .
I wanted to wipe that smirk of his face , I shouldn't have agreed to the game self .
"In your dreams." I answered back ,
"well in my dream you are always with me , which means you thought of me before sleeping."
I scoffed , well it was true but what the hell .
"What ?!!! , You are not serious, me think about you , tah."
He just laughed "okay ooo , your turn . "
"Can you answer my second question ??"
He sighed again , I noticed we've reached a gate which we opened while running.
That means we were on track.
"Look the g.... " I was cut off by a single sentence by Femi.
" The person in the picture she's not my biological mum , she's the real wife of my father and my step mom."
Wait am I hearing properly , that's not his real mum and it was his real mum that took him to the amusement park.
Does this mean maybe since the time he was 7 was when he last saw his mum.
"What ... Of your biological mother ?"
He sighed , " have told you enough things already , am not sure if am ready to tell you more.
Well the topic is making me remember more sad pasts ."
I must have pressed too hard .
"Yeah , but know am here if you want to say anything to anyone. I will listen attentively and be your secret partner ."
He gave me a genuine smile "okay secret partner , well my mum died from cancer."
