Beyond the Horizon [ ONGOING ]

Chapter Fourteen

Folakemi walked out of the principals office, closing the door behind her with a light thud.

Wondering why she waved Anjolaoluwa a good bye, she let out a sigh of exasperation. This past few days, she had been having a change of heart towards her well after telling Chloe about her, she had adviced her to stop being harsh to her.

"The girl has not done anything bad to me anyway, well asides currently being the center of attraction at home so why not give her a chance" she thought with a shrug.

Moving out of the building, she was once again cornered with greetings and hugs from the junior students.

Chants of ''head girl'', ''Senior Fola" kept echoing around her and she immediately felt the urge to roll her eyes.

Most of the students greeting her obviously hated her guts, she couldn't help but agree with them that she was rude and a bit mean.

She used to be the head girl of the junior school the previous year a very strict one and a very intelligent student who had bagged a whole lot of awards for the junior school in a lot of competitions hence her popularity among the junior and senior students as well.

A lot of the junior students highly respected her and dared not cross her path in fear of being punished while some who were in her good book went close to give her a hug which she didn't even return.

Feeling choked with the attention she was getting, not like she didn't like it, she just wasn't in the mood for it, she almost snapped at a junior student who was standing in her way.

Bearing an unreadable expression, she turned to the junior block heading to her previous class to pick up something's from her locker, during the holiday coaching, she had left some of her notebooks and stationery in it.

She barged into the classroom and headed straight to her locker ignoring the greetings from the students. She hurried out and in the process barged into someone.

"Are you blind or what?" she barked angrily bending down to pick her books.

"Jeez! Chill na" he exclaimed bending immediately to help her pack up her books.

"Am sorry and I guess I shouldn't be the only one apologizing since you actually barged into me, please forgive my clumsy self" he apologized standing up to his full length.

Our almighty Folakemi was left speechless.

How the hell could an human being so effortlessly sound Sophisticating.

Was all she could think of, just the sound of his voice made everything go still and she couldn't help but stare dreamily into his drowning brown orbs.

She didn't know she was staring until she felt something soft and fluffy on her cheek, he used his hands to touch her cheeks.

"Sorry, I thought I lost you, you were so rigid and I was almost panicking" he said staring at her in concern.

"Am fine, am fine" she stuttered before scurring off leaving him speechless.

She ran all the way to the senior block before stopping to calm her breath.

"What the hell just happened?" she muttered throwing her hand over her chest.

She straightened her skirt and continued her her journey to her classroom, this time walking calmly.

She couldn't contain the shock on her face on realizing how quite the classroom was, she looked again to be sure she was on the right block, she was certain her classmates make noise for a living.
