JUST A KISS

 She was thankful that he picked up the call, her heart skipped a beat thinking he wouldn't pick the call. 


 "Hi...hi...hi...hi!" She muttered several times while stammering; she was nervous. She said it a few more times, in case he didn't hear her the first time. 


 She heard a soft laughter, this instantly made her less nervous. 


 "I can hear you, who is this?" He asked. 


 "It's Isoken." The phone went silent as well as the environment, but she didn't hear the beep. 


 "Oh." He said, then she heard rustles. 'He said oh, is that a bad thing?' She asked herself. 


 "Isoken." He said her name softly. She almost lost hold of the phone, as she got goosebumps and tingles. 


 "I gave you my number almost three weeks ago, you didn't give me yours so I couldn't call you. I thought you were never going to call me." He said, his voice contained a tone of blame. 


 She felt guilty, he had asked for her number but she told him to give her his and promised she would call him. It's normal for him to expect her to call him ASAP, so he would have her number. 


 "It's okay. How have you been?" He asked. 


 "I've been good. Are you outside?" There was a lot of background noise from his side. 


 "Yeah, I am just taking a breath of fresh air. The winds are stronger today and rain is threatening to fall, but I don't think it's going to fall." He said. 


 She found herself laughing, because what he said made a funny memory come to mind, "Why are you laughing?" He asked. 


 She immediately stopped laughing, "Nothing." 


 "So nothing can make you laugh now. Hmmm okay, I hope everything is alright?" He asked. 


 This time around, she burst into fits of laughter, louder than the previous one. In the midst of laughing, she heard him chuckle. 


 Tears had flown out of her eyes because of laughing, "See now you have made me cry." 


 He replied with, "Nobody told you to laugh and cry, just pick one." Then they both burst into laughter. 


 They talked some more on things like; their JAMB exam that they would be taking this term, both mock and the real one. He offered to study with her to brush a few subjects they shared together and she agreed. She would be stupid not to accept the extra help. 


 He told her he would come to school early tomorrow and bid her goodnight. 


 She was smiling after the call ended, she looked at the phone only to see that they had talked for an hour and half. It was already dark when she looked out the window. 


 She went to plug the phone and layed on her bed to sleep. 


 'Best night ever, can't wait for tomorrow.' Then she found herself in dreamland.
