TOBE

^8. Put me down...NOW^

"Oh..ehmm yes, I'm just a bit shy" I can feel my cheeks burning up and my heart beating fast. I swallow the lump that has been growing in my throat.

I wear my bag and open the car door bringing out the clutch before stepping out leaning on it with my right armpit.

I get a few attention from some people but I'm not going to be intimidated by them. Not at all..

You can do it...you can do it...

I start walking, hopping and galloping over to the school making sure not to look at anybody but forward. I don't want attention, God please.

Almost there...

Ahhh, finally.

I turn to my left to take the staircase not until I met those mesmerizing eyes again. The eyes that made my legs wobble and buckle. The way I could feel his presence and the way he stares at me with those brown eyes.

Something inside me shivered making my heart clench. I stopped in my tracks to take in the view of him. His focused face stared at me, His well defined jaw line was eye-catchy. His plump lips looked so pink and damn that body....wait..hold up, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RUME....THE HELLL.

I tore my gaze at him and turned to take the other staircase which is much longer.

You don't have to do this, just take the shortcut. Pass him, do as if you don't know him. My subconsciousness tells me.

Shut up.

I turn around and start walking not until I felt someone scoop me in a bridal style sending shivers all over my body. I turned my head to look at Tobe staring down at me in anger. I gasped in shock, why the hell is he carrying me. Why am I in his arms.

"Put me down, now" I try putting on my serious face but it looked like he didn't buy it at all.

He scoffed before he started walking up the stairs. I felt his arms around my waist tighten sending electric shocks around my ribs, my arms around his shoulders and his arms carrying my legs in place.

"Tobe, please put me down" I said quietly trying to ignore all the death glares some girls have started throwing at me. Some students gathered around us and my clutch laid flat on the ground.

"You, Pick her clutch and follow me" Tobe ordered a junior student and he immediately obeyed.

I buried my face into his chest the more. I felt so scared, I was causing trouble this early morning just because of this damn ankle that was willingly dislocated by that good for nothing bitch. Ughh

"I'll meet you later" Tobe told a guy he was with previously. Why was he doing this, I don't get him.

"You really don't have to do this, you know?" His friend said with an annoyed face and I felt guilty.

Tobe gratefully ignored the shit out of the guy and he went up the stairs with me in his hands.

I am going to be the new school gist. Oh God. Girls are going to attack me and they will surely make my life a living hell.

I looked up at Tobe and swallowed the lump that grew at the depth of my throat. His face had this seriousness and concern, Assuming I didn't go to school today, none of these could have happened. Simi I will surely kill you for not being in my time of need.

I think he sensed that I was looking at him cause he immediately turned his head down at stared straight at me.

Ahhhh. His eyes were capturing. Look away, look away.

I quickly turned my head aside not wanting to adore his handsomeness any longer. I could even feel his chest through his uniform but deep inside me, I felt safe and comfortable.

He's so confusing that I wonder what goes through his mind. What's he thinking about. Why is he helping me.

I didn't even know when we arrive in front of my class. The junior student quietly followed behind him not even making a single sound.

Tobe looked at my class door staring at it like he's thinking something.

"Tobe, you've reached my class. I can walk now" I start "you can put me down now...please" I smile at him but it only makes matters worse.

Oh no...

He opens the door and steps in.

"Get out"

With that all the students in the classroom rushed out the class through the back door leaving only Tobe and me alone.

My jaw dropped to the floor. How could he do that. Blood of Jesus. It didn't even take up to 10 seconds and the class is empty.

"Drop the clutch there and you can go" he said to the boy and he hurriedly did it and ran off.

"H-howw ddid yyou-.."

He walked us inside the classroom more and looked around.

"Where's your seat" he said making me flinch at his question.

"I said I can walk"

"Answer the damn question" he raised his tone and I gasped before pointing to where my sit was.

He walked over and set me down. I winced when my leg hit someone's chair.

"Ouch...ah"

"Shit, sorry" Tobe hissed and his face hardened the more.

I looked down and frowned at the floor. I have to ask him, he's really confusing me.
All these why, he's being confusing me, making me feel somehow, making me feel weird. Making me feel things. I'm so confused.

"Why are you helping me"

He looked at me and I did all I can to stare straight at him with a cold expression. God, this is so hard.

"Firstly, how did you dislocate your ankle" I scoffed. Oh no you didn't.

"I asked a question first"

I saw something flash in his eyes and the tension in the room was becoming high and high the more.

He stood stiff before taking a few steps to me. With every step he took, I felt my heart's speed increase and I was slowly starting to loose control of my seriousness. His hands buried in his pockets, striding to me with those legs. Eyes staring at me intensely.

He bent down so he could match my head length and he moved his head closer making me feel the heat radiating from him, he then put his hands at the side of my chair. I moved my head back trying to keep him away.

"W-what're you doing"

"Shhhhh" he places his index finger on my lips and i swallowed another lump. His face was so close and if he didn't move away, I ....I..would-..

"You really are something"

Yes, I know you want to kill me for ending at a place like this, but please bear with me🙇‍♀️🙏

I love you guys❤✨(^_^)
