47 'FORTY SEVEN'
Somehow and magically, Jemimah was finding herself surviving every exam. She would block out everything in her head and read hard for every paper and as she walked out of the exam hall staring at the question paper in her hand, she could barely remember her answers even though she could hear her classmates chirping talking about answers to every question around her. Some seemed familiar and some didn't but she could barely care about all of that. She was tired and she needed to rest her head. She had three papers left and she just wanted to be done.
"Jemimah" a voice called and Jemimah turned to see Annabelle behind her. The latter had the same question paper in her hands and that was when Jemimah remembered that MBBS wasn't the only department offering that particular course. She immediately mustered a smile and waved at Annabelle.
"Hi Annabelle, how are you?" she greeted Annabelle and raised her brows.
"Wipe that fake ass smile off your face, this instant" Annabelle replied and in spite of herself, Jemimah laughed. Annabelle had obviously seen through her forced smile.
"I'm sorry" she said and Annabelle folded her arms, "You don't need to apologise for that girl" she replied and there was a few seconds of silence between them before Annabelle spoke again.
"Jemimah, are you okay?" she asked and Jemimah's usual reply immediately rushed to her mouth but seeing Annabelle's concerned face, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I think I will be. I need to sleep and rest and maybe eat" she finally responded and Annabelle smiled lightly.
"Tell me what you want to eat, I'll have it delivered to your room" she offered and a genuine smile spread across Jemimah's lips.
"Thank you Annabelle but I have that covered" she replied. Micah had made sure that three meals were delivered to her everyday, and ehr roommates had taken it upon themselves to make sure that she ate every single food, they would help her take pictures of her eating and the empty plate and she would send it to Micah every single day. Every time she thought of it, it always made my heart squeeze in a way she didn't understand.
She also almost couldn't believe that her roommates and her would now have such a beautiful relationship now. She remembered when they first resumed in their first semester and second semester and now they are as tight as anything.
"Alright" Annabelle said nodding her head as she took a few seconds before she spoke again, "If you ever need anyone to speak to, I can't assure you that I won't be at a shoot or something but I'll be there to listen" she said and Jemimah laughed.
"Thank you Annabelle" she said softly and then she felt someone standing beside her, "Sorry to keep you waiting" Paul muttered and turned to Annabelle.
"Good afternoon" he greeted but Annabelle merely threw him a glance before smiling at Jemimah, "I'll send you a text" she said before waving and walking away.
"I'll take that she doesn't like me very much" Paul said and Jemimah chuckled.
"Sorry about that" Jemimah said as they started walking and Paul waved his hand to show he wasn't bothered.
"C'mon, the few people that Annabelle likes in the world wouldn't be up to twenty, nothing special" he responded and Jemimah laughed as they continued walking.
They soon spotted Doyin and Peter waiting for them. Doyin hurriedly towards Jemimah And linked their hands together.
"How was our exam?" she asked and Jemimah merely shrugged.
"It was okay" she replied and Doyin pursed her lips, "Did you finish?" she asked.
"I think so" she replied Jemimah repsonded and DOyin pouted.
"You don't just want to talk to me" she complained and Jemimah forced a smile, "I'm just a bit tired Doyin. I'm sorry" she replied.
"Anatomy and Pharmacy students were complaining about the exams and you are saying it's fine" Doyin said and Jemimah wanted to hold her head. She could barely remember her questions, not to talk of the answers, she really wasn't in the mood for whatever Doyin was trying to do. She knew she was just trying to get ehr to talk but Jemimah really wasn't in the right headspace for that.
"We ran into Annabelle outside the hall, that girl really doesn't like anyone. She was saying hi to Jemimah and then I greeted her, what I got was an eye roll" Pauls said and Peter burst into laughter.
"I don't know why you bothered to greet her," he said, still laughing.
"I'm a gentleman bro, I was just trying to be polite" Paul responded and then Doyin hissed.
"She's so full of herself. Someone greeted you, just say something and don't look at them like they are beneath you. She's so annoying" Doyin comaplined and Jemimah immediately frowned.
"Doyin, please don't say that about Annabelle. She isn't annoying" Jemimah immediately defended.
"I know you two have a semblance of friendship but she really isn't the person you want to be friends with. She has a bad reputation, she's annoying and selfish and all the other supermodels talk shit about her, I mean they can't all be collectively hating on her right? That's why she's always getting into trouble and no one likes her. You two really shouldn't hang out together very soon, her career would be ruined with her that character" Doyin said and Jemimah immediately removed her hands from Doyin's grip, her face features pulled together in anger.
"Doyin? Really?" she questioned and Doyin stared at her confused, "What did I say wrong?" she asked.
"Doyin.." Paul tried to speak first but Jemimah beat him to it.
"You are wrong Doyin, I and Annabelle don't have a semblance of a friendship, she is my friend and I won't allow you to talk shit about my friend right in front of me. Her career be ruined? What do you mean? She is the nicest person I have ever met, she has been kind and thoughtful to me so I don't exactly care everyone has to say about her, she is my friend and I need you to get that into your thick skull Doyin, if you are jealous of her, fix that by yourself, talking shit about her won't bring her down from being Number 3 on the list of Nigeria's top teen influencers and models" Jeimiaha spat at her and then stormed off.
"I... I... I..." Doyin turned to the twins for support but Peter rolled his eyes.
"I'm finding it hard to understand you Doyin. Annabele got Jemimah a huge modelling deal, it shook the entire internet and now if Jemimah wants to go serious, she already has a smooth sailing modelling career in front of her because of Annabelle and then you go ahead and say that you know they have a semblance of a friendship?" Peter asked and hissed under his breath.
"Sometimes you should really think twice before speaking," he added.
"Peter" Paul chided, and Doyin stared at them with tears in her eyes. Unable to find words to say, she stormed off.
"You've made her cry," Paul said, watching Doyin walk away.
"Who asked her to run her mouth?"
"I don't care; you are the one apologizing to her, don't ask me to," Paul replied.
