Deal With Chaos #ProjectNigeria

Chapter 40

To ruin something
To ruin someone
To ruin
To love something
To love someone
To love
What's the difference?

My heart was the altar
Your kiss the knife
My love the sacrifice
My tears shed blood

I panic
I search for meaning
I'm running
I thought I found you
I found loss

What do you know?
What do you think you know?
What have you lost?
Who have you found?

Can you stand alone?
Can you breath alone?
Is he your breath.
Do you love her?
Or do you need her?

It's all consuming
Obsessive
Intense
Breathtaking
Painful
Passionate
Everything
Nothing.

To ruin something
To love someone
What's the difference?

*****************
I tried to hide it.

My excitement.

But the first time in my life I was excited to be back in school.

I was so excited that I spent my whole night imagining what the beginning of second term would be like.
As expected I woke up late.

The disappointed look my mum threw at me when I came running downstairs was also expected.

"Your father has left already oh, or do you expect your own father to be waiting for you." My mother said going through her phone, "you'll just have to wait for the driver to come back."

"Mummy I'll be late for school!" I exclaimed.

My mother hissed, "did I ask you to wake up late? Anyway quickly fry egg for me I'm hungry."

As a result I got into school immediately after assembly.

Luckily due to the chaos of everyone leaving the school hall at the same time, I easily joined the throng of students heading to their different classes.
"Kay!" I turned back to see Michelle running towards me.
On reaching me, she threw her arms around me.

Laughing I hugged her back, "hey."

Leaning back she smiled, "I've missed you."

Right behind was Oluchi , Ini and Dayo.
Each of them hugged me after Michelle released me.

"How are you guys?" I asked excitedly.
Ini shrugged, "back to this useless school, no one can be happy about that."

Dayo nodded, "on that I agree with you."

Michelle shook her head, "I disagree, I'm glad to be with all my friends!"

I gave Oluchi a side smile, "and Korede obviously."

"Kay!" Michelle said obviously flustered.

Dayo laughed, "Korede bobo, How is he na?"

Michelle pouted, "you guys should leave me alone...but he's fine sha."

I wiggled my eyebrows, "yes he's very fine, well done."

Michelle smacked my arm, "Kay!"

I chuckled, "Oya sorry."

"Dayo are you talking? Is it because no one has mentioned Juwon." Oluchi put in.

Ini grinned, "leave her, she's probably mentioned his name all holiday, that's why we barely saw her now, oh Juwon...please Juwon...touch me right there Juwon...Juwon I'm ...."
Ini cut off when she started running from Dayo who chased her.
