TOBE

^15. This is just the beginning^

'I don't care.' I reply.

She's definitely not as innocent as I thought. Mr. Benard frowned but he continues anyway.

"Okay, so simi is the second-best in basic science in her class and if she can solve the question, she would make a fool out of you guys, hmm" He finishes.

''So where's the question, huh" She asked Mr. Benard.

"Here..." He says.

She grabs the marker from the table but it slips and falls on the ground. She bends down slowly making her skirt raise up just above her fair smooth legs. All the boys in class were focused on the junior student before their eyes.

It's as if time just stops and it's only me that could move including the Simi girl. She raises her head and looks up, her body still in that bent position before her brown eyes finally met mine.

Not breaking the contact, staring into each other's faces. The atmosphere suddenly seems hot and my inner body began to burn.

She breaks the contact before her lips slowly move upside in the form of a smirk. She picks the marker and gets back up making everything turn back to normal.

What in the...she???

Some boys were still checking her out while she was solving the question on the whiteboard. Girls started hissing like as if they were really female snakes, girls these days are just so complicated.

This girl...

This question is hard. 

I want to die instantly.

Hey ground, can you please just swallow me whole. I wanna die before my time. God forbid, what the hell am I saying.

I huff out a breath and try focusing on the question on the board. I'm so proud of myself, he finally noticed me. His expression looked so confused but I still got away with the plan...hehehe

Simi concentrate..ugh

This is something you have read with rume before. You have to calm down and remember the easy formulas you and rume mastered. You got this.

I start solving the question with Mr. Benard's eyes following the marker's every move. I suddenly start thinking deeply, If I fail this question, My plan of impressing or making josh notice me will all be in vain. I have to solve this question correctly, and at least not look like a fool in front of josh.

I can still remember the time I confessed to josh. I was in my last year in primary school. I know you may be wondering how I know josh in my primary school years, but to be exact, Josh is Tobe's best friend and Tobe has been my neighbor since God knows when. I always saw josh play football(Soccer) with Tobe in the yard every time when they were little. And from that moment, I have always had feelings for him.

I told him later that year, knowing he was in JSS2. But the moment I confessed, I suddenly started regretting everything that happened at that very minute. He snubbed me rather he ignored the shit out of me and walked away. when he got far enough, he paused and whispered enough for me to hear.

He said, 'I don't like you, so don't ever talk to me'

Those words were enough to kill a million souls. it was as if daggers stabbed through my heart like the cutting of pawpaw fruit. Of course, I kept all these from rume and suffered the pain alone. If you see what it took me to recover from that heartbreak. Even when rume asked what was wrong, I told her it was just a fever and all, but deep down it wasn't even close to that.
