My Days At Crown School (BOOK ONE) COMPLETED

Chapter eighteen

•••••

7pm on dot, the bell for supper was rang. I had woken up an hour before the time. Took my evening bath, ready for supper and prep. I went straight to Victoria's room and said 'hi' to Temi. I pet her and pleaded for her to see the school doctor, but she was strongly against it.

She just wanted to go home. Victoria said the driver was coming to pick her tomorrow, and that got her to smile a bit. I think she wasn't ready for the term, because her mind was definitely still at home. She just wanted to go home.

After we've all taken super, we headed straight to school blocks to observe prep. I took my seat at the far end of the class. After some minutes, I heard that familiar voice. "Can I ?"

I smiled up at Victoria. "Are you actually asking me that?"

She chuckled, took the seat close to me, and placed her book on the locker. "Well, let's assume I have so many questions to ask you."

I smiled. "Go ahead ma."

We stared at each other for some seconds, and I had the idea, it wasn't just a normal conversation we were about to start.

"Do you trust me? Apart from being your friend, can you confide in me?" She blurted.

I smiled at her. Victoria was a sweet and nice girl, except my friend could talk for long, not getting tired. Do I actually trust her? I think I do. She knew when I have something going on in my mind. She was aware of my mood this afternoon, and I could see the concern look she gave me. I noticed I couldn't seem to hide myself around her. She always know when things go wrong.

I nodded. "I trust you. Now go straight to the point."

She kept quiet for a minute. "When he saw that little passport of yours on Dad's table, he told himself he would get to know you. You see, he never tries being anyone's friend since I've known him. But you don't know how happy I am he made that decision. There is no doubt, he likes you Suzy. But that's not where I'm going," she said, staring at me.

"He won't talk to me, or talk to anyone. Suzy, I care so much about him, and I know he's hurting or angry about something." She gave a concern look. She was worried about her brother. I knew Victor cares about her too, so it was mutual. Just like I would do anything for sister Blessing.

"I know you two aren't talking, because I noticed he was too busy and occupied," Victoria said.

I smiled, drawing my hair out with my finger.

"Suzy." She was expecting me to say something.

Victoria was expecting me to talk. I cleared my voice. "Victoria, I really do not know." I said, "what I can remember is that he greeted me, and I acted somehow to him. And before he left, he looked very mad at me." I was being honest. "But Victoria, I swear, I didn't mean to sound that way. I thought he would call that night but his call never came in."

I looked away from Victoria, I knew Victoria was aware of how much I felt towards Victor. It was obvious I like him.

"Victoria, I tried all you told me. I tried being with him thinking he likes me. Imagine, with all the time we've spent together, he didn't ask me out." Tears were forming in my eyes, and I tried all I can to shot it back. "I tried to believe he likes me, but no, all he does is tease me, make fun of me. God! I was a fool to ever believe he likes me."

I was crying. I couldn't hold it any longer. My chest was beating very fast, and I couldn't calm myself. Why was I feeling that way? Why? I was a fool. A big fool! Getting involve with a guy like victor was a mistake. All eyes were on me during the school hours. I bet some felt pity for me, because they knew Victor and I were always together, but not anymore.

"Am I actually fat?" I looked down at my body, before raising my teary eyes at Victoria.

Victoria moved out of her seat, closer to me, and wiped away my tears. "Suzy, I envy your beauty. Temi would look at you and tell me, 'she's just too beautiful. I don't think she knows that because of her stature'.

To be sincere with you, you are very beautiful in person than your passport. Victor is not the only one with good eyes. If you allow yourself to study the people around you, you will realize everything I just told you."

I blushed at her words. "You're just trying to calm me down."

She chuckled. "Do what I told you, and you will see how many admires that pretty face and that glowing fair skin of yours."

"And my body?" I questioned.

"Yes, and your body," she giggled.

I hugged her, "thank you Victoria."

"Are you actually telling me that?" She mimicked me and I laughed. Some friends are just the best. Victoria was one of them.

"I met her today," I glanced up at Victoria.

"Who?"

"Daniella. The girl victor is with now. She's the new ss3 student in my room."

"Oh," Victoria sounded not interested. "How come I didn't know she was the one in your room. She's the Senate only daughter. So spoilt and rude for my liking. And for your information, Victor doesn't have a girlfriend. Is what I was sure of."

"You sounded as if you know her. Besides, she was being friendly, but seemed to be forcing herself."

Victoria hissed. "Yes, I do know her. She's just pretending. She was introduced to Victor and I by Dad, but specially, Dad told Victor to show her round the school and be nice to her. But I guess she likes him because she's always with him."

"And he likes her too." I finished for her.

"I won't disagree with you, because I know you will keep doubting anything I say about Victor. You're the reason why my brother is in such stupid mood of his."

I smiled shyly, and looked away.

"You two are very stubborn. But please talk to him, you have just two weeks before he leaves."

"What?" I almost screamed, covering my mouth.

Victoria made fun of me.
"You see, just two weeks," she repeated. "Get over that angry spirit and let Daniella know the boy is taken."

Hahaha

I laughed. "Point of correction miss Victoria, I don't own him. We are just friends. Just friends." I repeated. "Now I think it's time to read." I turned to my side.

When you perform excellently, you've got no problem with your Dad.
