Kk

As usual, I woke up with thoughts of skipping class but the reality of failing due to lack of my already thin attendance this semester prompted me out of bed this early morning. Personally, I felt its lecturers without social lives that fix lectures as early as 7a.m .

'Ha! You're one to talk', my annoying subconscious said to me.

Lately though, I didn't even know if it was still necessary as scenes from Dayo's last visit here flashed through my mind's eye.
What's the use of being diligent in attending lectures if my scholarship could be cut off at any moment from now.

'You still got a shot at school sha', the voice in my head said to me. 'That is if you can help Dayo with Mia'

"Sh*t", I muttered as I brushed my teeth. How did my simple turn into this complicated mess. This shouldn't be hard at all. All I have to do is just to get Mia to talk to me again and from there, paint D as The Son of God himself and then all would cool and great, right? Then why do I have this feeling now....this...I feel kinda possessive over her now. It's like I don't want to share her attention with anyone, much less Dayo. I don't  understand it..I don't even understand myself and what I want anymore. But there's one thing I'm sure I want at this moment....I want to see Mia and I don't know why. Thing is, the night when she was crying, I saw a new side to her. A side I'm sure no one else has seen before. It felt like it was a revelation to me. My personal revelation of who she really is.
Last I heard or saw of her was the other day at my place where I was a complete douche to her. She's not been in school since too cause she's been absent in the few classes we share. I needed to apologise to her and maybe we can be friends again or whatever we were before.

I didn't have her number to call or text although I contemplated asking around for it but I didn't want to come off as desperate or anything extreme. I did get her IG handle though and even dropped her a message but a girl like her probably had thousands of unread messages and so as expected, I got no reply. Not sure she's even seen it. I also had her address but I felt it'd be weird just showing up at her home like that unannounced. But that changed when I saw her in class this morning looking all sweet and beautiful.

"Sweet and beautiful? Geez! I swear I'm losing it", I muttered to myself while the lecture was going on. I didn't notice Mia's features since cause I don't know..I wasn't feeling this way then.
Now Mia isn't just fine, she's extremely beautiful with her very light skinned complexion always glowing. Her pair of perfectly arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes, the kind of one that held you spellbound with just a blink. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. She had a decanter shaped waist and midnight black full hair flowed over her shoulders but today she had it packed beating, releasing strands that adorned each side of her face. Don't even get me started on those alluring full pink lips which gave way to angel white teeth when she talked or better still, smiled. Now Wizkid's Smile begins to make sense to me. It could jolt you like an electric current when that megawatt smile gave you  her full attention. It could--

'Damnn! Man Shakespeare's got nothing on you' , my annoying subconscious cut me out of my reverie and for the first time, I was glad the annoying thing had a mind of it's own. I was beginning to lose it. Yeah, maybe I felt something for Mia, it sure as heaven wasn't that type of feeling, no! I refuse it.

"Its more of pity or sympathy ", I said out in a whisper, in a bid to convince myself. Nonye was..no..is...Nonye is the only person these feelings are reserved for.
There and then, I made up my mind to go to Mia's place today, apologise and just get over it. I'm pretty sure my feelings of remorse to how I acted towards her last time got mixed up and considering the pressure I've been on lately, it's understandable.

"Yeah...that's it. I'd just get there, apologise and get out. That simple", I said and sighed in relief. Sometimes we tend to complicate stuff with overthinking everything.

Before I knew it, I was pulling into Mia's driveway, where I stopped in front of a gate that separated me from the edifice that was Mia's house. Damn! Money is good.

"Yes, how can I help you?", a voice buzzed through the intercom attached to the wall by the side of the gate. I panicked abit when I heard it as I was still lost admiring the house, I didn't see notice the intercom.

"Uh....good day", I cleared my throat. "I'm here to see Mia".

"She's not in. Did you inform her you were coming?", the voice asked flatly.

"Uh..yeah...I guess it slipped her mind"

"Well...like I said earlier, she's not in. Come back later"

"Wait..wait...I'd like to wait for her if that's ok?", I asked.

"No, it's not. Bye". The rude security guy spat out. Never liked security personnel, always unnecessarily power drunk.
A mini van pulled up behind me and a plump middle aged woman got down from the passenger door, approaching me.

"What's going on here?..Young man, who are you and who are looking for?", she asked.

"Good day Ma. I'm a friend of Mia's. We were supposed to meet here after school today. I'm having issues with some courses and she offered to tutor me. Guess she forgot", I lied. Well technically, it wasn't really a lie seeing as Mia actually agreed to tutor me if I kept her company that night at my place. Its just that wasn't the reason I was here.

"Oh..I'm so sorry. Have you tried calling her?", she asked concerned.

"Umm...was just about to. I just got here", I replied.

"Ok..why don't you call her from inside, that's if you're not in a hurry to leave".

"Sure ma'am ", I answered relieved.

"Ok. Charles open the gates", she said to the rude intercom guy.

There was a loud buzzing sound, and then the gate started to slowly swing open. I got back in my car and followed the circular driveway to the front of the house.

"Okay", the woman said as she got out of the van,  carrying grocery bags. "Let's go inside".

"Sure..let me help with that", I said relieving her of the bags she was carrying.
__________________________________________

"What are you doing here?", she asked as she stared at me blankly and her tone void of any emotions.
Ok so maybe this isn't going to be as easy as I made it to be.

"You sure do know how to welcome a friend", I joked in a bid to lighten the atmosphere but she wasn't having any of it.

"Um...let's get something straight", she began. " We are not friends, never were and not a chance in the future. Look, you just happened to be there when I was at my lowest and I leaned on you. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate it but that's just it...nothing more", she spat out but in a cool , calm and collected tone. Like it meant nothing at all.

"Wow...okay...um", I struggled for what to say. Nothing could describe how...how foolish and used I felt now. I mean what was I even thinking...that because she spent two nights at my place and we eat together and shared some moments, we'd become friends? That the vast ocean like gap of class would just disappear like that?
Still, a part of me felt she didn't mean all she just said. The part of the me that's been running wild with thoughts of her all day. I don't know, can't explain it but that part me just yearning to understand her, to believe in that side of her I saw that night she was crying.

"I probably deserve all that", I nodded calmly. "And that's why I'm here now. Look I acted like a jerk the last time and I'm really sorry about that. I-".

"You don't owe me any explanation and besides, I don't care so.....I'd like it if you just leave now", she said coldly without even looking at me.

"Mia! That's not nice", the woman, who I'm sure had been eavesdropping, said as she came in.

"Please stay out of this Joy and just stick to stuff you're paid to do", Mia shot out and I was shocked at how rude she was to the poor woman.

"Uhmm...I'm so sorry Ma. It's fine, I'll just take my leave", I apologised to the woman.

"Its ok", the woman smiled. "I'm used to her antics. It doesn't affect me because I know she's actually a very good person and this whole rude and arrogant persona is just a front to scare people away. Please don't take all she said to heart. Mia, you don't have to go down this road all the time, it's human to have feelings, to feel hurt. Stop keeping these walls around you all the time".

"Oh great", Mia chuckled as she clapped her hands. "Now I'm taking advice from the maid. Can my life get any more pathetic?", she said as she stormed the stairs to her room. The woman just smiled sadly a d shook her head as Mia left and I felt sorry for her.

"Just give her time, ok? She'll come around. She just needs to calm down", she said to me and I nodded in affirmation.

"Why don't you have something to eat while you wait for her?", she asked and I got confused.

"Wait for her?", I asked and she smiled. This woman smiles a lot.

"Trust me, it'd better if you waited", she said and I reluctantly agreed, I didn't have a shift today so I had no serious engagements later.

I stayed for about an hour later when Mia descended down the stairs. How she still managed to look elegant dressed casually was a mystery....' and not a necessity now', I thought as I stood to face her.

"You're still here?", she paused, a little bit shocked.

"Yeah..I-"

"Whatever", she said dismissively as she began to walk out.

"Will you quit being a brat and just listen to me for a moment?", I spat out angrily, getting fed up of the whole situation.

"Make me", she said as she slipped into the garage and I followed close behind. She pressed a button mounted on the wall that opened up one of the large garage doors leading outside. She grabbed a key off the key rack and skipped over to a motorbike. A shiny Harley Davidson.

"Mia, what are you doing?", I asked, sounding exasperated. She ignored me and slid on her heels and then mounted the death trap.

"Well..you coming or not?", she asked as she looked at me with a bored expression and revved the engine..........TBC

A very nice storyline.

Improving the frequency of updates will attract more persons to this page. Most people don't like reading evolving stories because they don't want to be left hanging. if your update is frequent, it more than compensates the waiting
