Few minutes to go.

*clears throat*

err.. so the literature section awards is on ...

if you think any of my stories (my complicated love story and school life) deserve an award or two (greedy me you can go and nominate them here » https://www.nairaland.com/1451024/literature-section-awards-nomination-thread.

I really don't know which category they fall under;-\ but I think there is romance, comedy and adventure somewhere in the stories, just go and check the link out and decide which one you want .

Φk♠γ̲̣̣̥., that being said its 11:40am right? About 6hrs20mins to go for the grand finale.

I really wonder why most girls like to do shakara, I mean, you like a guy, the guy likes you so why all the delay na? If you scared of him breaking your heart, would delaying change the future? Follow your heart, take the risk, because nothing is 100% sure till you try. - Chistar01.

My world came crashing at this point, I wasn't sure either I should be angry, sad or confused, In my state of absolute mixed feelings, I asked;

'Why?'

She looked at me directly in the eyeballs and said;

'I know your kinda person and I know my kinda person, people like us don't date, it won't work' she was starting to sound like my boring pastor at church and I didn't like this on bit.

'Ife! You are talking too much. Do you love me or not?' I blurted out without even thinking of the consequence.

She looked shock by my sudden outburst and frankly speaking, I was surprised by my action too, but since I had already somehow gotten the courage to ask it, I decided to go the full length.

'Michael, you know that doesn't have...'

'Just answer me straight forward na, do you love me? Yes or No. Say Yes and I'll make sure that you never regret it but if you say no, then I'll close this chapter and never bring it up again' I threatened again, I was silently wondering what was giving me such courage after all its not everyday you get to see a guy standing up to a girl he loves dearly and laying all his cards on the table.

She took a deep breath and we starred at each other silence for a while, my heart was beating so fast and loud that I I could actually hear it without using a stethoscope.

'Ife... Don't you get it? I crazy about you, the longer you stall me, the more I even want you more' I broke the silence.

Out of nowhere she did something I hadn't expected...

She suddenly bursted out in laughter therefore even making me more confused.

'What's so funny?' I asked

TWO YEARS LATER (SS 3)
DURING VALECDICTORY.

The past six years hadn't been all rosy or fun as some people might think, as a matter of fact, JSS1 to SS1 were really horrible but 'SS3' was awesome, you would find out why I said so in due
time .

NB: 'JSS' means Junior Secondary School, while 'SS' actually means Senior Secondary School, don't know what happened to the third 'S' in the abbreviation, that's how I met it too.

It all eventually came down to giving honorary awards, gifts and certificates, that was when I was faced with a little problem;

'first on the list is Balogun Oluwafemi who was the head boy' the M.C called out the first name on his list.
Loud roars of applause followed suite as Oluwafemi who is simply known as 'Femi' stood up from his sit and after adjusting his well fitted D&G suit he walked to the stage with swagger and he
was handed over a hand bag which I assumed contained all the necessary things then he walked back to his sit.

'another round of applause please' the M.C requested and his request was granted as the occupants of the hall clapped so vigorously like their lives depended on it.

'Secondly, I call on Olugbemi Cynthia, the head girl of this prestigious college to come forward and take her package' and same procedure was taken.

All other captains were called before we the regular students who were 'nobody' and same procedure was followed until it got to my turn;

'Please lets give a round of applause as Odoh Michael comes forward' The M.C urged the occupants of the hall to clap for me but no one but the M.C actually clapped for me.

I looked round to make sure everyone was still alive and awake and they were;

'So why aren't this people clapping?' I asked myself and at the same time wishing the floor would just open and swallow me.

princesa: finally someone thinks am still cool when i blow hot or cold! #blushing#


am damn well keeping up with the kardasians chistar

lol.. I lied. . I really don't love your attitude *pun intended*

Hmmm.. 10, 000 words 4 a short story? Like seriously? That's more like a short novel oh.

10k for just writing a story? OMG! That's really cool, if only it would work out properly and expected (am a pessimist, so don't blame me) .

@writers, am kinda wondering why no story has been posted on the submission thread o, is this a case of who would bell the cat? You guys shouldn't mind Efe, Repo, Ishi, Princesa and other listed judges, they are just being typical judges. My advice to you guys is be original and creative, make your story fun to read and as usual make sure your spacing and puntuations are rightly place.

*whispering in Ruby Spice ears* I've gat ya back dearie.

Deiok: 6pm abi?. Alarm reminder set.

see you then bro.

Babie Ghagha: it doesnt realy matter.anything its worth it.

Φk♠γ̲̣̣̥. , cool.

princesa: If you never wanted 'sorry' then you shouldn't have towed the 'family issue' line.

My point?

Nlanders are caring and ever ready to share ur pains. Tell them that you're sick, or getting married, or having a birthday, or lost a family etc etc, and then would commensurate with you...


So chistar, sorry for whatever happened in ur offline life



now to the story.

#hides face# erm... erm.... #wriggles hand# i know you know why am hiding my face, looking down and wriggling my hands



but anyways, I read the last update and twas captivating, one thing i like about your works are the side comments (parenthesis) you infuse into the stories, no wonder you're everyone's 'darling'

kudos chistar, I know my attitude made you keep ur distance, bt you're still my pal

#keeping a date with you for the grand finale.

errr... I didn't need d sympathy but I had to give an explanation because the comments I've been seeing required an explaination but since I can't give full details I just dropped a hint, I'll modify d post right away anyway.

About your attitude and keeping my distance? I think you have gotten something mixed up because I actually love you attitude.

I'll be expecting u then 4 d grand finale .

**continuation**

It might have taken a ridiculously long time for me to actually have my first crush and open my eyes to 'girls issues' but once I did, I did it well.

As I've stated times without number, it was saturday and I was gonna get a reply soon enough.

I had made plans with Ife to meet her at the classroom region in the afternoon, so as soon as I was totally free, I quickly ran to the bathroom with a bucket of water to shower, then tried my best to look as casual as possible, instead of the usual red check shirt and brown trouser we call 'house wear' I wore a sparkling white 'POLICE' brand top and a blue short, (this was also the perfect approved sport wear combination so I free from an pending harassment by any staff) then wore my palm sandal, my silver movado wristwatch and as usual I emptied half of the total content of my 'HIM' perfume. In summary, I looked and smelled nicer than I had ever been since my birth (its funny how girls makes us do certain weird things).

I called Dolls who also had a parole too at class and we walked towards class looking dashing, although we sent a female junior student to inform our different 'packages' that we were already waiting for them at the classroom.

Dolls and I had barely settled down in the class when when I looked outside the window and saw two feminine figures cat walking down the broad path way that led to the classroom, even though they both wore the red chad house house wear (they were both in Cross house and cross house wears yellow check not red, I still wonder how come the had chad house check too), I could still figure out that one of the feminine figure was my Ife and the other was probably Dolls new 'target', yes! New target, you should know by now that Dolls is a player even though he would never accept it up front.

I didn't bother showing Dolls the girls as they approached the girls because as soon as I turned to stare at him, he was already adjusting his top and belt properly which on meant he had already seen them, probably before I did.

So eventually both Ife and the other girl who I later got to know was Funmi got to the classroom Dolls and I were in and joined after gisting generally for a while, Dolls stylishly dragged Funmi to another class which I assumed was empty and left lfe and I in an empty class.

'Err.. So hi...' I said, trying to start a conversation after a short moment of silence.

'Hi, what's up na?' She replied.

I purposely replied; 'Nothing much o, just that I had a sleepless night' hoping she would ask 'why' and I'll use that as an excuse to get straight to the point but she seemed smarter as she replied;

'Eiyah, am so sorry' without even asking for a reason.

I smiled and another short moment of silence followed as I thought of my next approach, the formal shy me which I thought was dead had resurfaced and didn't know how exactly to go straight to the point, so as I was trying to gather courage she suddenly broke the silence saying;

'So aren't you gonna ask me how my own night was?' She grinned as she asked this.

'Oh! My bad, forgot my manners. How was your night?' I replied hastily.

'Like you've ever had manners before self' she was smiling as she said this, so I got she was joking.

'I have manners oh, but I won't argue, so tell me sha, how was your night?'

'Anyway, my night was bad' the smile on her face had mysteriously disappeared by now and that made me worried.

'Why na? What happened?' I asked almost immediately.

She cleared her throat and took a deep breath before replying the least five words I had expected to hear;
'Michael, my dad is dead'

That statement took me off balance and at first I was confused(why the fvck are you telling me this?) Then I became shocked (so your dad is late now?) And then I became quite sad... Or better still, really sad.

'Err.. Ife, am so sorry, I don't really know what to say.. How did you hear about it anyway?'

She was already fight back the tears that were already piling up in her eyes;
'Err.. My guardian called me over to her office and told me'.

She looked like she really needed a hug and without giving it much thoughts I grabbed her and gave her a bear hug, I was right as she responded by grabbing me closer and as she couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she poured out the tears all over my shoulder.

'I would be lieing if I say my dad and I were best of friends but I just didn't wish him dead na, he was still young... He and my mum were trying to work on their broken marriage and that's when the stupI'd taxi driver that drove him knew he would run into a trailer'

'Babe, I know how you feel, am so sorry'

'I just can't believe it... He was...'

We kept on talking about her dad and the good times they shared, at a point I forgot about the main purpose of the setting up the meeting with her, she seemed to like she could go on and on lamenting about how her dad did this and how he did that, I was trying my possible best to be a good listener and kept on 'hmming' and 'haaing' in the right places.

Funny how time flies when you are with someone you truly care about and you enjoying the company. A quick glance at my wrist watch told me me we had been talking (or better still, she has been talking) for over an three hours, just as if she read my mind she rounded up as said;

'Oh, I've been talking for hours already and it would soon be time for dinner self.. I'm sorry for wasting your time and boring you with my stories'

'Wasting my time ke? Hell no! Trust me, when you start boring me I'll let you know' I replied trying to sound modest.

'You are sweet, I like you' she replied almost immediately.

I just smiled and replied; 'I know you do'

'Yea, I do, but I know you would really want me to date you... ' She took a deep breath and I was already dancing skelewu in my mind and jumping round the class when she said 'But.. I can't date you Michael'

My world came crashing at this point, I wasn't sure either I should be angry, sad or confused, I'm my state of absolute mixed feelings, I asked;

'Why?'

TO BE CONTINUED.

@you all who have been patiently waiting 4 an update,am really sorry, I don't know why different things have just been happening during the writting of this story anyway, I really appreciate your wait,the story would soon end anyway, its just gonna contain how I got my first gf and little back ground gist. Am gonna update later on today but the story grande finally comes up tommorow, its gonna be long as usual, you won't expect what would hit you, and expect it by 6pm sharp.

Afterwards, I'll take a break from writing series, expect short stories from time to time but no series would come up anytime soon until am sure my head is straight and I have the stability so that I won't dissapoint you guys the second time.
Thanks.

Sanguine: Haba! You this man! Na woman go kili you!

lol... if na woman, I suppose don die since

Okay, I DID IT!!! The devil didn't want me to update since, MTN is a goat! A big goat, I had to copy the thing on a flash and run to a cafe before I could update it, thanks for waiting.

**continuation**

'So that's all I have for you today, don't forget to read on reproduction before our next class, I'll be asking questions and God bless you if you don't provide the answers. Good day class!'

'Good day ma!!!' The whole class literally screamed the reply as if to say 'get out ma!'.

And that was how the biology class ended and the teacher sluggishly strolled out of the class, she probably intentionally dragged her feet on the ground as she moved out, or maybe that was just my imagination.

Few minutes later immediately after she left, the class became rowdy as expected with different people making all sort of different noise, while some were lamenting on how boring the class was, others were already anticipating on how lively they expected the next class to be due to the topic that was presumed to be taught.

Dolls on the other hand was trying to update his note, the biology teacher had dictated too fast for him to keep up, little wonder why he didn't ask for my own note. I decided to let him finish before I remind him about the so called 'Ife Idea' but after about five minutes of staring at him continuously and he didn't seem to be concerned I had to do something before Ife left for her class.

'Guy!'

'Wetin?'

'Na that small note you dey copy since las year?' I asked him

'Wetin be your own? I no dey see wetin this mumu Efe dey write for hin note, abeg borrow me your own' he replied.

'Guy forget that thing first, you go do am later. How far this Ife parole na, you no wan help me punch her button again?'

'Oh! Na true self. I don forget oh, where she dey self?'

'She still dey where she dey before' I replied and pointed towards her direction, he took on quick glance at her and the packed his books into his locker then stood up and after saying; 'just go with the flow and follow my lead' he led the way, I followed as instructed.

We got to her locker almost immediately since it was barely a stone throw from mine and Dolls surprisingly jumped on her desk and sat down comfortably with a wide grin on his face.

'Hi!' He said. She ignored him at first, maybe because she didn't hear him or probably just didn't want to answer him, so he had to 'Hi' her again. This time she reluctantly rose he head from the novel she was reading and replied;

'What is it? Do I know you?!' She literally replied in a harsh tone, it was a James Hadley Chase novel, so I think I understand why she reacted that way.

'Err ... No you don't know me ... Yet. Am Dolapo by name' he then stretched his hands forward for a hand shake which was gracefully ignored.

'What do you want?' She asked coldly.

'Err, just a minute of your time, I just wanted to introduce you to my friend, Michael' he replied her and then winked at me which also meant I should make a move. I shook my head and silently asked him for what exactly am meant to say but he wasn't interested, he was about to point at me when I just jumped in and said;

'Hi, am the Michael he was just talking about' I replied smiling, it was one of those fake smiles though.

Funny enough and rather unexpected, she took a glimpse at me and then offered me her hand with a weak smile on her face.

'So now that I've introduce you guys, Michael where is your biology note?' I could sense he was about to leave I and Ife all alone and I wasn't ready for that but I knew Dolls would leave us anyway so I just told him where the note was and after saying a quick silent prayer, I sat beside her.

We both stared at each other for about a century before she broke the silence;
'Errr ... Is this a staring completion?' She asked smiling. That question reminded me of Jane, because she one asked me a similar question and I thought about giving Ife same reply but something stopped me(she might not find it funny, I thought).

'No actually. Errr.. Let's start all over if you don't mind' I replied.

'Okay...'

'Alright, am Michael'

'Nice to meet you Michael' she replied. I suddenly bursted out in laughter and that made her shocked, 'what's funny?' She asked.

'Nothing o, its just that this is supposed to be the part you tell me your name but you obviously don't want to do the same even though courtesy demands it' I replied with a straight face.

'Oh... My bad. Am Ifelola, but friends call me just Ife'

'Okay, cool. So am to call you just Ife na right?'

'Errrr... That depends, are you a friend?' She replied smiling.

'We would know in due time.' I replied and another century of silence followed suit only for it to be broken this time by me.

'Errr... You a JMC fan?' I asked.

'What's JMC?' She looked sincerely confused.

'James Hadley Chase...' I replied feeling smart, silly me.

'Oh, err.. Not really. I read almost anything as long as it's a novel then I'm gonna read it. Why do you ask self? Its not like you know anything about novels'

I rose and eyebrow and asked what she meant by that.

'Isn't it obvious, most guys find reading novels boring and for girls only, they would rather go around chasing and kicking tiny ball round a field'

'Hmmm, you are right and yet, wrong' I replied.

'How so?'

'Okay, I love football, no doubt but I also read a lot of novels too, I can bet you haven't read as much as me self' I replied smiling.

'Hmmm, that's not true, you haven't read half of what I have read.'

'Really? Φk♠γ̲̣̣̥., have you read 'Black' by Ted something, can't recall his full name?' I asked.

'No, have you read...'

We kept on arguing and naming novels we had read, I was lucky to have gotten her soft spot and was ready to use it to my advantage, girls and human beings in general get loosen up when they find somehow have similar interests with them, and for Ife it was novel reading, I silently thanked God for making my sister buy a lot of novels when we were growing up, if not I might not have had anything to gist with Ife.

Time flew by so fast and she was forced to go back to her class since her next teacher was already in her class, but before she went I made her promise to hook up with me later on.

Few minutes later, my own next teacher came in the class and the rest of the day was filled with different teachers coming in and going out, I had little time to even think about Ife or what would happen next between us.

***

Saturday! *sighs* a perfect day filled with early morning hard core general cleaning up and there after joblessness and doing absolutely nothing unless seniors start to send you on errands.

I woke up on the right side of the bed and was in fantastic mood, I did my morning duty quickly and inspection came and went in a twinkle of an eyes with no hurdles to cross, up next was breakfast, went to the dining hall and although there was a little drama on who was going to serve and how the person who served stroked me, I didn't let that spoil mu awesome mood.

Why was I so happy? Let me take you back to two days ago, thursday to be specific.

***

THURSDAY.

'Guy, make we dey go prep na!' I told Dolls that evening as I we were both ready but for some reasons, hadn't gone yet. He replied in the affirmative and off we went.

Class wasn't as rowdy as it usually was and I really don't know why but couldn't care any lesser, I had finally moved on from the Jane story and even had another girl on my radar although I hadn't made any serious move yet, we were still just friend, good friends you might want to add.

So I went to my class, dropped my books in my locker and just as Dolls left the class in search of his girl friend or any girl to 'feel alright' with before prep started, I went in search of Ife too.

She was in her class with her head placed on her desk reading a novel as usual.

'Knock knock' I said as I sat beside her to get her attention.

'Hey! What's up na' she replied smiling and obviously happy to see me.

'Bush woman, you don't know the 'knock knock' joke? You are meant to say 'who is there' and when I reply let's say 'kick' you say 'kick who?' And I say 'Kick my ass' or something funny' I explained to her.

She allowed to blab finish before she bursted out in laughter, somewhere in between laughing she asked;
'So how exactly is that funny? Dry goat' she replied me.

She was actually a very free person and we actually yarbed ourselves a lot, although just jokingly.

Anyway, after we finished yarbing ourselves, I decided it was time to get serious and for once, go ahead and do what I want to do without Dolls guidance. I liked her very much (maybe not love yet) and she liked me too, I didn't need to be told.

So I cleared my throat and said;
'Lola' I rarely called her that so when I did, she knew I was serious.

'What's the problem?' She asked with a worrisome look.

'Problem? Hell no! I just want to tell you something and ask you a question'

'Hmmm, which one exactly do you want to do? Tell me something or ask a question?' She replied, smiling, she looked relieved since I told her there wasn't a problem.

'Both actually, I have to tell you the something before I ask you a question, concerning the something'

'Okay, so what it this something?'

'Errr... Errmm..' I stuttered.

'Errrm what? Talk na, you are making me really curious'

Suddenly, I blurted out; 'I like you!'

Firstly, she looked surprised then the looked turned into confusion, then slowly into a smile before she finally said;
'I know you do na, is that what you were stuttering over?'

'No no no... Its like you don't get my point.'

'So what's your point?' She asked and the confused look resurfaced.

'Lola, when ever I go to bed at night, you are the last person I think about, when I wake, you are the first that crosses my mind, I dream about you every night, when I close my eyes I see you, I can't think straight anymore because you are all that's in my head, you are the one that I fantasize all day about, a minute without you is like a minute without oxygen, you are the air I breathe you are the this, you are the that and you are the those...' I went on blabbing and blabbing about how I felt about her while she looked shocked and transfixed on a spot staring and listening to everything I said.

Even when I was done all she could say was;
'Wow' frankly speaking, I really deserved that wow because I couldn't believe what I just told her myself.

'So now to the question part' I replied her 'wow'.

'Errmm.. Oh.. Ermm.. Okay, yea, what's the question?' She asked stuttering.

For a moment I paused and thought, if I asked her to be my girlfriend that would sound weird in my mouth so I tried another approach;

'Ife, is the feeling mutual? Do you feel the same way about me?' She looked shocked and I had expected that so I patiently waited for a reply.

'Err.. You don't want to reply?' I asked after about a minute of silence.

'Michael, I need to think about this' she replied.

'Think about what? If you feel the same you would know na, its not like am asking you for your kidney' I replied and smiled to ease the tension that was piling up already.

'Michael, its more complicated than you think. I like you, God knows I do but I don't know if am ready for what you are asking for' she replied.

I could sense she was quite right and forcing a reply out of he mouth wasn't going to be a good idea so I took a deep breath and asked;

'So how much time do you need?'

'I don't know, maybe a week'

'A WEEK!!! Are you planning of killing me with heart attack and high blood pressure?' I asked looking surprised.

'I need enough time na'

'Okay how about I give you a day?'

'A day? That's two small, okay how about monday next week?'

We kept on debating on a date until I somehow won and we settled for saturday.

So when I woke up that saturday morning with a smile on my face, I smiled because I was gonna get a reply before the day ran out and I was expecting a 'yes' but maybe I shouldn't have be excited.

TO BE CONTINUED.
