Yemi had practice, football practice I think, so I was alone in the shop,my dad had gone out and there was only a few customers, it was a hot Saturday afternoon after all.

I was dressed in a gray shirt and black trousers, I had planned to wear a gown but I had to be flexible enough to run around so I opted for the simple dressing.

I was behind the counter writing my 2000 words essay when the door went open, my eyes travelled from my books and landed on the figure at the door dressed in plain tee shirt and grey sweatpants.

He ran his hand on his hair and I watched his movement, he still had his signature bored expression and on his face, Yes, Snr Ayo was in my bakery.

I couldn't deny that he looked better in muffti than uniforms. I comported myself and walked to his table, his hands were already busy in his phone.

"Sponge cake and a pack of cold orange juice"He said once I asked for his order, his eyes never left his phone, he was typing with so much speed and I quicky served him.

He raised his eyes slowly from his phone and those brown eyes landed on me, I could see he had something he wanted to say, the way he squinted his eyes like he was remembering something.

"I know you" That was first thing he said.

I kept a pointed look like I wasn't happy my crush recognized me. I was only dancing zanku mentally.

"Kelechi Williams, the smartest girl in Ss2, I always see you in school"He had a smile now and my insides melted.

"Snr Ayo I never knew you'd know me "

"Why won't I, you are always at the top of academic ranking each session though you suck at sports"He smirked.

I do suck at sports, can't run, zero skills in playing football, basketball or whatever, I was part of the spectators, I never engaged myself in anything.

I smiled a little.

His voice was soft like the patters of rain, I just wanted to keep listening to him make small talks with me.

"Are you always this shy, you aren't this shy when you are munching your snacks at the cafe"He said already chuckling.

" Are you stalking me now?" I tried hard not to smile too much.

" Not really, you sit at a very strategic place in the cafe so my eyes always go there"He explained.

" Why do you always have a bored expression on your face?" I found myself asking.

" Funny question, I just don't know, it's my normal face" He replied with a smile.

" I like your grey shirt" He told me suddenly,the shirt had a picture of Wizkid.

" Wizkid's fan?" I ask and he nodded and I felt like hugging him.

" Same here,I'll be behind the counter just in case you need anything"I told him and excused myself. I can't believe I just had a chat with the cutest boy in Elites and he even knows me.

I tried as much as possible to focus on writing my essay but my eyes kept going back to his seat,I watched the way he typed on his device,sip his juice and eat his cake. It felt beautiful just watching him.

I noticed he was done and so I pretended very hard to focus on my essay,he was at the front of the counter already.

"20" He told me.

I raised my brows at him,what was the meaning of 20. He pointed at the last question of the maths excerise that I had given up on.

"How?"

He picked up my pen and I watched as he did the working,I liked the way his eyebrows were,the way his eyes moved in sync with his hand,the seriousness he had,the magic as he kept twirling the pen and boom,it was indeed the answer.

"OMG, how did you do that?" I asked in astonishment.

" Geniuses don't reveal their secret"He smiled. He had a loopsided grin on his face.

"By the way the cake was awesome, I might be dropping by with my friends sometimes"

He had his hand in his pocket and then winked at me before leaving. What just happened?

**
The dancing hall in Elites Academy was always empty and whenever I was less busy or I was in the mood to dance, I often snuck away to dance my heart out. Dancing was prohibited in my house except I was in the bathroom so the dancing hall was my safe haven and my secret hideout.

So today, I was in the overly spacious dance hall, it had lots of chairs and a stage and an upper gallary for more students. I dropped my backpack and then played Daddy Yo by wizkid, I loved the song cos I moved more of my lower body,soon Of Lagos by mayokurn was playing, it was fast paced ,just the kind that allowed me free my bones and dance to stupor.

I was tired at the end of the song and while I tried to catch my breath,I heard loud clearing of throat. I was startled and are once I traced the direction and found those pair of beautiful eyes looking at me and at once I became shy, Snr Ayo just watched me dance.

I watched as he walked towards me gracefully,a smile on his lips and his first button undone.

"Snr Ayo,good afternoon" I greeted quietly as I played with my braids,I made new ones over the week.

"Hey,you didn't strike to me like a girl that danced"

" Oh well, now you know" I replied.

" I'm still surprised you know,who would believe that the smartest chick is a superb dancer"He complimented.

" Now you are just over exaggerating" I grinned trying hard to hide my blush.

Snr Ayo had his brows quirked at me.

" I don't exaggerate things but you really are a good dancer,why didn't you sign up for the talent hunt?"

" I can't,I don't want to"I drawled and picked my Mp3 from the floor hurriedly.

" I didn't say something wrong,did I?" I noticed the tender look in his eyes,I concentrated more on arranging my stuffs into my backpack.

"You didn't say anything wrong,I'll just run along now" I said quickly and sprinted towards the door, his voice however stopped me.

"Kelechi if you ever change your mind and follow your dreams,I'm sure you'll never regret"

I casted a long look at him and sprinted off.

" So he caught you dancing?" Yemi asked as he drove me to the bakery. It was a regular routine,he dropped me off every day after school except when he had to stay behind for practice and all that.

"I swear,I was so surprised,I always thought that dance hall was deserted."

I rubbed my palm on my forehead.

" It is. Maybe Ayo reads there,you know his a book worm.But you were a bit happy he complimented you, weren't you?"He raised his eyebrow in a suggestive way and I chuckled.

"Sure I was until he brought up talks about talent hunt and I sprinted off like a chicken"

" You have always been a chicken"He laughed as he took a bend.

" You are high"

"But Ayo is a low-key dancer,the nigga gat mad moves too"

" Seriously?"My eyeballs were almost burgling out of it's sockets.

"Yeah, watched a video of him on  my elder brother's phone,my elder brother is his friend"

Wow,Ayo could dance too,I reclined better on my seat and imagined him dancing. He looked hot in my head.

"What is the mumu thinking of?" Yemi snapped me out of my thoughts.

" Just wait till you stop driving, I'll snap your neck into three"I threatened.

" Your hairstyle is beautiful honestly" he complimented trying to change the topic. It was just a simple Ghana weaving with beads at the tip.

"I know,but I'll still snap your neck" I chuckled and he joined me too.
