"What is your name? " he enquired with a staid expression. Obi's eyes roamed around still trying to ascertain the safety of their current surrounding. Her lips were still quivering out of shock and her breathing distorted. "Obiukwu" She finally let out still battling with unsteady breathing. He adjusted the cuff of his pristine white shirt and helped her up."For a girl with a boy's name you certainly do not think like one. Usually when a female dog comes after you, you don't run towards her young puppies, you run far away from them". She adjusted her pleated skirts which had been torn while she ran frantically from the enraged beast. This boy's words were rather insulting but she swallowed any form of insult that would have ensued especially from his reminder of the stereotype that had been carved out from her name . A simple act of gratitude, for he had been her savior. Was he not a dunce for thinking that way?. She knew a lot of moronic boys and her cousin Chukwudi was the ideal example. The dog had run at the sound of his command. She walked away from him slowly hoping to see Sandra somewhere close. "Hey! You owe me a thank you and something else". She ignored him and kept walking.She hated dogs and arrogant rich boys!"My name is Obiefune!"Obiukwu stopped for a brief moment and yelled back at him "thank you! ".Obiukwu, a young selfless girl is forced to choose between love and duty when life hurls misfortunes at her. Does she end up with her first love Obiefune even when the odds are against them?

Nkem wanted him to hold her hand just like he did the handles of her bicycle . She had also begun to love the way her name rolled off his lips. There was absolutely something wrong with her and it always reared its head whenever he was around."I am beginning to wonder if that one sip of palmwine did something to you. Why did you drink that rubbish Ekene gave you? You seem to keep getting lost " He mumbled a bit taken aback by her lack of concentration. "Nkem!""Isi?" "What is it? Why do you seem lost in thoughts? Is there any problem?"Nkem shook her head vigorously holding back the need to tell him exactly how she felt."Ngwanu..we'll find a way to stop those fools from destroying your things. I bet they thought this bicycle was mine too. I shouldn't have e ridden it to school. Are they even stupid? Don't they know that I cannot afford this ! We have to report to the principal"Cheta rambled as he continued to drag the bicycle along while she walked slowly behind."Cowards! That's what they are..I should""Cheta!" Nkem bellowed causing a stop to his tirade."I love you! "Her hands clamped her lips immediately the words flew out of her mouth. The erratic pounding of her heart worsened and her feet became wet from the sweating of her legs. Her hands trembled without a care as his feet halted "What had she done?" She watched in terror as he dropped the bicycle he was holding and marched back to where she was. She held her breath and prayed in her heart that her confession not be the end of her.He gave a small smile as he drew closer,before breaking into his annoying fits of laughter. He laughed so hard that he fell beside her. "Now I know that you must be really drunk!

I tried not to look up, fought the urge to find out what he was actually looking at but it was to no avail. I finally joined him and I didn't spot anything special about it, except maybe is that a gecko. I quit looking up and asked him another question " so ummm what do you do? Do you have a job or something?.One of the most important questions that my friend Laura schooled me to ask the guys. He smiled and responded, making sure to avoid any form of eye contact, this time he was looking at the table. " I umm, I uh, I umm, I, I, iInner thought: great he is a stammerer way to goWould you just shut up!" I reprimanded my inner thought and maybe I was too loud. Because he halted and finally looked at me coupled with the other heads that turned to look at us. "I'm sorry I wasn't referring to you, please continue, you were what?

"So how long are we to wait before we hear them tinkle?" He asked with his eyes staring at the black sky,his hands in his pockets. "Not too long, sister Jessica says only the heart hears them" Nenye shut her eyes and stood still with her face upward while Michael watched her intently. She opened her eyes to find him staring at her. "You're supposed to be facing them and listening with your heart, else you won't hear " she cautioned "I doubt I would if I tried. My heart is quite preoccupied with pumping blood at a quicker rate. " He moved closer to where she stood and reached out to her face. She looked puzzled for an instant before her face relaxed. "why's that?" She enquired surprised at how squeaky her voice had become. He caressed her face gently ignoring the question she spouted. "Are you certain that you're not a minor because I'm sure Christine would bury me alive if she found out I did what I'm about to do" Nenye nodded softly affirming that she was indeed not a child. "And what exactly are you going to do?" She enquired a bit breathless. She should have never taken a sip out of that glass. Her eyes fell on his lips and her lips parted softly.

"Obanma if you keep vibrating like a car engine, neither of us would get good sleep. I can feel the bed shaking from way over there" He gestured at the edge of the bed where lay he before. Her mouth couldn't form any words in her own defense. "I've been battling with pneumonia I would have left the bed for you. Those tiles might just worsen my case. Besides there's enough space to fit two more people on this bed." She only nodded still staring at him and recoiling inwardly at the proximity between them. Adaugo had once told her that being on the same bed with a man could make her pregnant. Oh Biology her saviour! " I am not that kind of man, I offered you a place to rest for the night and that you shall get. Sleeping with your Jean trousers on, one foot in and foot out of the bed, huddling at the edge which is quite close to the door, wouldn't really save you if I wanted something else. I am a man, I am stronger and faster. So please relax, stop shaking and go to sleep. I have a very busy schedule tomorrow and just like you, I can't sleep unless my surrounding is suitable for sleeping "How did he know all that? Was he a mind reader too? She nodded again then slowly relaxed on the bed, still very much awake. Sleeping was not really what one did in enemy camp. He smiled, gently rolling over to his side to really have a look at her. She was truly very beautiful and innocent. He knew deep down that she could escape if she wanted to, he was no superman and she would definitely elude him. His hands itched to caress and hold her, that feeling was not alien, he had always felt protective of the girl. Onyedikachi simply turned to the other side of the bed with a smile on his face and very familiar words in his heart as exhaustion drove him to sleep.
