It been one whole year since they went to school but Dela had never set his eyes on Layla before. He always wait after lecture to see if he will find her among those who passed there everyday. go

" Why didn't you wait for that your mystery girl today?". Jonie asked when he saw Dela descending down from the short but long stairs in front of the school.

" Well I think maybe her parents might have stopped her from coming because..they may think this is a whole boys school ". Dela said and opened his car then sat down on the front seat.

" Hey bro, I'm tried I don't think I can drive us home". Jonie said while holding the car gate of where Dela sat.

" I'm also tried..I'm more tried then you... hope you know". Deal said and gave in a loud breath showing how exhausted he was.

" Whatever..let go". Jonie said and sat down at the driving seat and fasten his seat belt.

" Have you put on your seat belt?". Jonie asked.

"Of course". Dela said and Jonie drove away.

" What!.. you mean to tell me, it had been one whole year and Dela hasn't set his eyes on you. But you guys are in the same school?". Lisa asked.

Layla had told her about how she had being hiding from Dela for the past one year because she didn't want to be like she was forcing herself on him. And for the fact that Lily was always with him made her go crazy of going anywhere near Dela.

" Yes Lisa...I just don't want it to be like I'm pushing myself on him. You know he is an idol and a little thing about him will get the whole wide world noticed". Layla explained herself.

" But still I'm surprised...is it that both of you are not in the same lecture hall or what?".

" Yes we are in the same lecture hall ". Layla answered.

" Then how come he hasn't seen you yet". Lisa was still confused. She couldn't comprehend the fact that they were in the same school and hadn't gotten to meet each other.

" Lisa..I think he has forgotten me..so how can I go and tell him I'm that girl he spoke to on the day of our results checking". Layla said.

"Whatever...that is between you two...but is soo obvious that you are in the same school and hasn't seen each other". Lisa said.

"Anyway...you talk too much I'm going to sleep now..bye". Layla waved at Lisa then entered her room.

She was now living with Lisa because her school was close to her apartment.

Immediately after she entered her room, she logged into her new account she had created just to chat with Dela . Dela never know he had been chatting with the girl had been looking for.

" Hello good evening". Layla typed and sent it to Dela.

" Yeah good evening... how are you doing?". He typed back.

" I'm good...how was school?". Layla asked.

" It was normal... what about you".

" Boring". Layla sent it with a bored emoji.

" Oh why... your teacher didn't teach well?". Dela asked.

" He did... but I couldn't understand". Layla said.

" It was about what?".

" Ways of creating codes..we are actually on that topic for a purpose". She lied.

She was finding it difficult to understand when the lecturer was teaching. But she dare not asked question on Dela might caught her.

" Oh.. that is simple we were even taught in school today". Dela said.

" Wow.. that is nice...so can I get a little note about it?". Layla requested.

" Sure". Dela forwarded his note to her.

" Thanks". Layla said.

" Then I will leave you to learn bye..see you tomorrow". Dela said and sent a good night emoji before closing his laptop.

" Oh my God...this is soo cool ". Layla said while jumping on her bed.

The next day came quickly as expected, Layla got ready for school then went out of Lisa's apartment. In other to reach the school and settled down before Dela comes she went two hours earlier then before although she usually goes early.

When she reached the school, she decided to read something in the library before going to the lecture hall.

Immediately she entered, she saw Dela sitting comfortable on a chair busily doing something.

"Oh...my God is it that he always come early to learn before lecture or what?". Layla asked no one in particular.

She quietly walked and took a seat which was faced Dela. though Dela couldn't see her, she does see him.

Layla's whole mind was on him. She was watching him as if he was some kind of an interested movie.

Dela seem to get tried so he crossed his two arms on the table and placed his head on it to relax himself.

Layla didn't seem to stop admiring him. She watched him for a while before taking a pencil and begin to draw him. After a while, she was done drawing then she went ahead and placed it carefully behind him then quickly rushed to the book shelves when she saw his eyes flinching to open.

Dela woke up and gave a little but a cute yawn then his eyes caught the portrait draw picture of his sleeping face next to him. He took it and smiled at it then placed it in his files and wrote something on a paper then put it down before leaving the library.

After he left, Layla quickly went to where he was sitting and took the piece of paper from the table.

She sat down and begin to read what he wrote.

" Thanks to who ever wrote it.. but next time try your best to show yourself". Layla read then tire a piece for paper from her book and wrote something on it then folded it and placed it under the desk where Dela sat earlier on. She know that definitely he will be there again to learn something. Then she stood up and quickly rushed to the lecture hall.
