A huge grin formed on my face as I went through the message he sent. I was already done drying my body and I was dressed in my red flannel night gown.

I chuckled. Unbelievable!, I told myself. If I had decided to take what I just read to heart then I would instantly break up with him.

I thought he had some senses still left over. Too bad for him. I shaked my head for the umpteenth time as I re- read it again. It simply went as this: 'Kadi let's make up.'

Kadi let's make up, I repeated the message to myself. So that was the only thing that a boyfriend would write while apologising to his girl.

Ka-di, I murmured the name to myself. Was he trying to use this crap to make me kind of emotional? He should have known better than doing so.

Kadi was the ship name my mischievous classmates gave us. Ka, from my name Kaima. And Di, from his name Dindu.

I told myself that I wasn't going to reply him and I stuck to that. I simply left my inbox and logged into Facebook where I saw several un read messages. I then decided to reply them in order of importance.

Adanna was the first to be replied. She was my paddie paddie. An emoji which showed how confused I was, was what I sent to her when I saw 'Go check Dindu's status now!'

'Idiot, just check it.' Was her immediate response to the emoji.

And I did just that.

But I wished that I didn't.

I beheld a picture of his mouth on Naomi's. I had to drop my phone on my laps for a minute as I cracked my knuckles. Trying to comprehend the whole situation.

So he went to Naomi's party? Without telling me or going with me. And then, he also kissed her and had the effrontery to post the damn picture on his status.

Finally, I have seen the reason why Naomi wanted me to attend the party. So that she would show me how she would take Dindu away. And she have done quite well.

I logged out and put off my data before charging it on the socket near my reading table.

I wanted to have a sound sleep but that was impossible. And I hated to accept the reason. At a point, I wanted to force myself to tears. That's what other girls usually do when heart broken. They would cry and soak their pillows with tears.

Just thinking of those pitiable things made me roar in laughter. Wait, what's wrong with me?, I stopped and wondered. And just then, the big question arose. Was Dindu being faithful?

Had he been influenced? Most of my class boys dated more than a girl. The Senior Prefect- Obinna, has about four. Two at Intel High shool, one at his neighbourhood and one in our school.

A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as I laid for hours on my hard king sized bed without even feeling sleepy. I watched with my two crystal clear eyes as the day broke and a new day dawned.

I got up and slugged my way to the bathroom where I did all my necessary cleaning hygiene. Then I came back to my room where I put on my white shirt and straight cut black skirt with my long white socks and black shoe.

"Good morning dear, you left your dinner un touched. Why?" The door of my room opened to reveal my mom who was half dressed.

I pouted, "I lost appetite. I'm sorry for the waste." It was an apology from me.

"All right," She nodded. "But you will eat breakfast na?"

I nodded sheepishly with a smile playing across my lips. "Is it fried..."

"...egg and plantain." She completed for me, knowing that it's my favourite morning food.

After breakfast, I hurriedly packed my assignment books inside my back pack before rushing to the car where my mother sat waiting impatiently for me.

"I thought you would sleep there. You walk as if you carry the whole world upon this your tiny head." She started the ignition and zoomed off to school immediately the gateman opened the gate.

I put on the brightest smile I could muster, as I came down from my mom's car and bade her bye.

Standard High, here I come again. I sighed.

"Did you see the picture Dindu posted on his status yesterday?" Naomi rushed to me once I stepped my feet inside the class.

I smiled slyly. "No sweetie but..."

"Good for you," She laughed a bit. "You would have been admitted to the ICU in General Hospital."

I bit my lips as I did my very best to ignore her. As for Dindu he would receive it hot from me. But before then, it would be a silent treatment from me.

Minutes later, while passing time with a historic book, many other students began coming into the class. Some were mean faced while some were gisting. And among the former group, fell my boyfriend.

"The physics teacher sent for you" Dindu told me, few minutes after he came to school and went to meet our form teacher in the staff room. Dude i didn't hear that,okay?. I kept reading the book in my hands. Flipping through the pages. Few minutes later, the physics teacher stormed the class looking very annoyed.

"Kaima didn't Chidindu tell you i sent for you?" He asked. I was one of his best students and he was going to believe anything i will tell him. "No sir, he didn't" Came my reply. "I knew it, this stubborn boy, oya go and kneel down in the staff room" He ordered and Dindu just gave me a surprised look which i replied with a wink.

Something about serving punishment in my school staff room was that all the teachers would insult you. All of them will beat you and you will be their topic for the week.

I wish I felt bad for what I did. But trust me, I felt everything else but bad and other words synonymous to it. I was going to let him know that payback is a bitch and it was going to flirt with him.

Thirty minutes later, he came back from the staff room with a sour face. Wrong timing for Naomi who rushed him and tried knowing how he felt. He pushed her away roughly and spat out to her to never dare meddle in his business.

As if she isn't part of your business, I chuckled lightly as my inner mind spoke.

Everyone laughed at her, exception me. It wasn't funny at all. He then came to his seat which was beside mine and whispered to me "The status stuff was a dare, she dared me to do it during the party."

Stories that makes the heart bleed, I thought sarcastically, ignoring him again. Too bad that I wasn't the type to take a fuck.

"Am sorry," He muttered again. I wondered how a guy who claims to love a girl will attend the party of her enemy without even discussing it with her. I just continued reading the book in my hand until Adanna tapped me from behind.

I smiled. I had no idea when she entered the class when one person that had no sense was distracting me.

"Babe how far na?" I greeted. "This one that you have loosed your hair, when do you plan on plaiting it?" I inquired.

"Not anytime soon. Now, stop taking me away from what I intend saying. Look around and tell me your observation." She said.

Same cream coloured wall, same white board and group of fools I call classmates.

"Nothing, why?"

"Another new student has arrived" Came her reply and i looked around just then to behold a cute fair guy whose face looked so familiar.

How couldn't I have seen him before. I tried checking him out and once my face met his, he went hyper.

"Kaima!!" He screamed in surprise and my expression was like 'dude are you high?'.

"Kaima it's me your first crush" He yelled in excitement and i slightly blushed. My cheeks were burning. It was him Teddy?

"Teddy Nnale?" I asked to be sure.

"Yesssss" Came his reply.

See the former quite gentleman is now a crazy spiced up guy.

las las, we have met again.

I turned to see Dindu with a huge frown on his face. A death glare was what he was sending Teddy. I chuckled lightly as I found it quite...

Naomi walked up to Teddy who was now talking with one of the boys. She tapped him and sent him a seductive smile.

I exchanged looks with Adanna who was equally sharing my thoughts.

"You always find me wherever I go." Naomi's smile widened as she talked to the guy who looked like he would do anything but keep talking to her.

He turned to me and asked if I could please take him around the school before the assembly begins and I yielded positive to his request.

"Do you know her?" Was the first question I asked him immediately we stepped out of the class.

"She's my ex" Came his reply. I just kept quiet for him to explain.

"But I broke up with her, she had her flaws which she never liked being corrected about. And worse still, she is a clingy person" He continued.

I knew she did more than just being clingy. But Teddy is probably that cool guy who doesn't talk bad about his exes.

We talked, laughed and walked on before we both got ourselves, we were in an isolated part of the school.

I stopped smiling. "Can't believe we went this far." I stated.

He shrugged with both of his hands in his pocket. "We can't escape from fate."

Fate? What has fate to do with this?

"Kaima," He gently called me. "I...want us to work out. I know this might sound weird but I want us to... Like...be more than friends. Stuffs like that."

I almost bursted into laughter. I thought the young had grown.

Surely he was high. He met me just today after a very long time and he the first thing he was doing was asking me out. Heck! what does he take me for?

"It is not happening, boyfriend snatcher!" Someone yelled, disrupting our conversation.

We turned and saw the person, Naomi. obviously, she was stalking us.

"Naomi it's over between us and you know it." Teddy snapped and just before Naomi replied him, I threw in my words "Boyfriend snatcher? says the harlot with a pinch of brain".

"How dare you call me a harlot? you're just some rejected stone that would soon get it's place." She said giving me that kind of look that says 'I've finished you, las las'.

How immature was her so called 'comeback'.

I just moved to her, shoved her by her hair and dropped the bomb from my mouth " You must be mentally distressed to think i will back down to your ruthless words. Just go reload your brain batteries my dear or better still tour the world to pick up the screws that had fallen off your thick skull".

"Shit!" Teddy muttered as he bit on his lower lips.

He never knew I had gone savage and he obviously was feeing sorry for the poor girl.

"Teddy, you've got to choose between me or her" Naomi said with a streak of tear and Teddy just looked from me to her and vice versa.

I scoffed.

Are we goods in the market?
