Love is not just about finding the Right Person,
But creating the Right Relationship.
its not about how much love you have in the Beginning,
But how much love you built till the End.

It was another Wednesday afternoon, and like all Wednesday afternoons, classes are boring and some students are even snoring.
Yes students are tired after the morning sport.

Jaiyeola's P. O. V

Mhen, I have never felt this sleepy,  how can Visual arts class be this boring.

Since the arts students were only fourteen the science students were twenty and the commercial students were Sixteen,  a total of fifty students from SSS2A, Although we have our departmental classes with the SSS2B students, only that different teachers, teaches us other subjects like Mathematics, English, Computer and so on.

I met Caroline, and I always sit down with her in the departmental classes,  although she is from SSS2B, she is the arts prefect for SSS2B and she's a bit talkative, she's also taller than I am.
But I don't like the idea that she tells me everything in her life, asks too many questions and all that .

And I think she is crushing on Daniel,  one time I saw her design his the name Daniel on her visual arts drawing book, but I don't want to jump into conclusions...
So it may also be a different Daniel.
Who cares right?
But I still suspect it is the Daniel I know,  because I've seen her talk to him before and she keeps asking me if we are related because of my surname....

I really don't understand, is he the only guy?
Cynthia likes him
Caroline likes him
I suspect Margret
I suspect Ore
I even suspect the head girl
I suspect Stella too.

But seriously ko kan mi

(I don't care)

Mr Hakeem wrapped up quickly after closing his marker and dropping his note.
"When you are done submit to Jaiyeoluwa."
My name is not Jaiyeoluwa it is Jaiyeola. 😒😒

And why must I collect the notes,  but seriously come and see the way Halimah was looking at me.

Is it my fault that almost all the teachers like me?

Well except Mucheche and Miss Rose  .

Can you believe that on Monday those guys I said were disturbing the class were busy making fun of Miss Rose's butt.
That is what Clara Martins told me

But boys sha.
That woman I won't be surprised if she is a prostitute, her pant was even showing, because the gown was silk and was transparent..
Ohhw why am I even caring about what she wears...
If she like she should wear ordinary pant, that's her own life.

I was seated next to Olamide even though I don't want to seat with him, I'm trying to avoid Cynthia and her friends and Hassan and Olamide are still best friends sooo.... But I'll just seat with him during visual arts class and then avoid him.

However, I have gotten really close to Stella's friends and we all make fun of Stella together and I'm starting to love RHS.

Also I studied today with Daniel and come and see the angry look Cynthia gave me.
I know she is trying her best to make Daniel her close friend or her boyfriend,😆 and I really don't understand why she has been staring at me angrily since then.

She should calm down, I'm not stealing him from her.

"Okay sir. " Some students chorused and immediately Olamide whispered in my ear.

"How come every teacher likes you? "
He asked

Have these boys been studying me?
they don't like me oo, they like stressing me!

I thought to myself then smiled at him when I noticed Halimah was staring.

What is it, or does she like Olamide too?
These girls  are confusing... She likes him or not I'm still planning to avoid all of them.
I really don't want their wahala.

"Only God knows. " I reply shrugging and still pushing out that fake smile.
Awon werey
(mad people)

Maybe she's a playgirl or maybe Olamide is her side chick,  somehow what I'm thinking brings a big grin to my face.

Back to Cynthia, after giving me a bad eyes,  she waved at Daniel,  while talking like one sweet gentle angel.
Pretender,
She's a green snake under the green grass.

So mo ya look away...
( I just ignored her)

She's the one who hates me for a reason I don't know.

And after that Mr Hakeem stepped out of the class, the others were already piling notebooks on the desk in front of me,  I really don't want to go to the staff room,  I hate all staff rooms.

So when I was done writing, I waited a bit for others to submit...
But the thing that amused me was the way Halimah left the class angrily, and as usual shaking her butt...

Ode!
After shaking it, what did you gain?
Did it put Garri on your table?.

She rolled her eyes at me, and I smiled at her looking very amused.
After all you don't pay evil with evil.

*******
I saw Daniel in the Staff room and as usual he was smiling, and he started to call me little Jay,  because he thinks I'm cute...

Really,  I wish I can blush..
But if I bite him ehn... He will know that I'm not cute, I'm fierce!
I can be Cynthia's worst nightmare! 😂

He now patted my hair, it really is his fault,  assuming I'm tall he won't be able to touch my head.
And yes he tangled my hair a bit,  since I did not plait it...

In my previous school we were forced to plait our hairs.😒😒

But in RHS freedom is mine! 😀

So after dropping the notebooks on Mr Hakeem's desk.
I turned around and we both walked out.
"Please help me tell Stella that we are going home it is about to rain."
I said, or else she will wash my clothes and make me coffee.

"Okay... Meet you downstairs. "
He said going to the first floor, while I entered my class.

The commercial students were already done and I did not see any traces of my friends...
Too bad I wanted to return Clara's maths textbook.

I packed my bag, and by the time I was done everyone had left the class, except Cynthia and her gang.
Why must they ever go home late,  they always stay after school... Sometimes it is their chance to play with the stupid guys in our class.
All nonsense!

But it is not my business anyway.
I was already leaving jejeli, when Halimah pulled my hand.

(jejeli: innocently)

What is it now?
Must they always look for trouble

I'm not in the mood to fight and I don't have time for it...

As I turned to face her, the idiot gave me a slap, I could have waved it but I wasn't expecting that at all.
My Dad said I should never loose my temper and Anjola said I should not misuse Taekwondo.

So I still did not say anything and just tried to leave, because if I open my mouth,  wrong words will come out and if I stay any longer I will loose it.
Besides, Stella and Co are waiting for me.

"Come back here,  I'm not done you motherfucker." Did she just call me motherfucker?

Yeeeeh... Emi laiye mi.
( A way of exclaiming in disbelief)

I still did not say anything, I just released my hand from her grip.
And then it turned to a fight, so she made me loose my temper...

And God knows I taught her a lesson.
So her friends also wanted to fight me, so it ended up being a big issue.
After pushing some to the floor... I can't fight them all at the same time so pushing some and fighting others was the only choice...

I really did not want this ooo
But that was when Cynthia just gave me a bow on my stomach, I fell down straight.

"So you think you are strong."
Cynthia said, as all of them helped Halimah up,  my eyes were watery.
She hit the target, someone tell me what I did wrong to be hated this much.
I just sat on the floor, moaning silently and cursing Cynthia... I couldn't stand up.
But you know me,  I don't cry over such little things.
I'm just joking
Small thing keh, it is as if the blow  scattered my intestines.

But still I can't cry,  I've received much more painful blows than this in Taekwondo school,  but it is just as if I've gone soft.
It has been long I visited the gym... I think that's why.

Perfect timing Daniel...
Perfect timing,

So I was still on the floor, as all the girls gathered clearly mocking me, but I did not look at their face,  I was thinking about how soft I have gone, they dared to mess with me.

So Daniel barged in, at first he did not understand the whole scenario. But after seeing me on the floor, he immediately believed what Stella used to say about Cynthia being a bully....
But I'm promising her, she won't go Scot free.

"JJ!?"
He screamed as his eyes flew open.
Yes too bad I'm not in the mood to laugh at the way he pushed Cynthia away.
Just then he faced her looking very angry,  but I'm in pain and all that one did not matter for now.

"So you are a bully!?" Daniel asked looking irritated and very dissapointed in Cynthia.
Yeah,  she deserved that.
And thank goodness Daniel came...

You know when you have the chance to help others, do it cause you never know when you will need help...

Okay two things surprised me
One,  the way Daniel held Cynthia by the collar and almost wanted to hit her, but I begged him not to

Because hitting her means that he is no difference from her,  and only points out that he is a bully too.

So after that he picked my bag and  dragged me out of the class why is he this furious,  my stomach is paining me and he is dragging me as if he is dragging a sack of rice.
Yeah,  you might think I'm over reacting but I can't walk properly for now...

So after reaching the door he carried me, which was very surprising and very very embarrassing...
Also I'm really not comfortable with a guy carrying me,  so I asked him to drop me that I can walk, even though I can't walk properly.

Yes for the first time I was blushing... A guy carried me...
Oh my Goodness I'm a mess.
And yes he looks very furious, but why...?

He still gripped unto my hand and pulled me into the JSS2B class, which was the third unexpected move he made.

"Leave me alone. " I said trying to remove my hand from his grip and he was just staring at me,  like he did not just drag me in here.
The class was empty..

"Why did you drag me here? " I asked, and yes I'm already furious again, but I can't shout because... Hello I'm still in pain.

"To discuss thing with you ."
Is this boy normal sha?...
What is there to discuss, one minute you are the hero then all of a sudden you are yelling at my face.
Shey o normal sha?
(are you normal at all?)

"Discuss what!? " yes I am very curious and this boy keeps annoying me

"Why are you fighting!?" and that was the question that flew out of his mouth.
He's talking as if I wanted it to happen .

"Why do you care,  Daniel why do you care..., Why do you always be the one to care!? "
Yes and now I'm already angry...
Look at the way he is even talking to me, You helped me, fine... I'm very grateful but why are you asking me stupid questions, can't he ask them why they did that to me ?

"Those girls just injured you!"
He said shouting at me,  yes and looking very dissapointed...
I don't like the way he is acting.

"That is not the question I asked you... Why do you care ?"
Yes and this is like the third time I'm asking him that question...

"Don't you understand, I am your friend and I don't like the way they are treating you."
He shrugged and gave me those why don't you understand looks.

"It is my life, And the people closest to me don't care,  so why do you care!?"
I asked again,
he does not sound like a friend, he sounds like a father, an overprotective father.

He walked closer to me then sighed, trying his best to calm down.
Then he patted my hair
"Jaiyeola. "
He said looking at me with pity in his eyes, but seriously why does he care?...
Tim doesn't care,  yes Tim acts weird around me but he doesn't care,
Stella doesn't care,
Vicky doesn't,
Nor Paul.

So why does he care???
I'm going to ask that question till he tells me why he cares.
And even if it takes an hour!.

"Why do you care!" I yelled again, shrugging his hands away from my head.

"Because I love you. "

Because you what?????
Mogbe!
(I'm in trouble)

Don't love me Keh!
Okay right now I'm lost of words.

Why do my friends end up loving me?,  I don't even know what to do,  now I'm already feeling somehow...
Should I explain the feeling as irritated and dissapointed...

"Yes JJ, I like like you. "
I feel like ripping his face off,  but he is my friend, this is only going to ruin our friendship.

"...And I'm sorry for yelling at you."
He said, meeting my dissapointed look
you should be sorry for everything you said now .

"Why?," I asked,
He looked at me a bit confused.
"Why me, why do you love me... Why me the weird girl?."
I asked, azin I feel like slapping him to his senses

"I don't know Jaiye,  all I know is that I really love you. " he replied.
Jeez!
Whenever he says that I feel somehow.... Does he know that I don't believe in love?

"Look Daniel, I don't feel the same way... And I really don't believe in love. "
I replied looking serious.
I swear this is the worst conversation ever .

"Neither did I... Not until I met you." he said looking very sincere and serious, tilting his head to the side a bit.

Seriously I really don't like the way I'm feeling now.
Why is it now me that all this one is happening too

Love hurts....
