What’s his name?

Next day i had to go to school, not just for him but because I want to clear the doubt in my friend's head. How could they think I'm pregnant? I could never be so careless and desperate, not in my high school life. I have two years before another phase in my life begins.

 I woke up before my mom shouted my name as always. No, I wasn't willing to wake up, naaahh. My phone was vibrating and it was a bit loud and I had to wake up

 "Who the heck is that? i mumbled, frowning my face as my hand searched for the phone on the drawer next to my bed.

 "Found it!" I picked the phone and put it above my face, squinting my eyes cause of the brightness from the phone.

 "Get your ass up and get ready for school" I read out a text from Simi. Only she had the guts to do something like this. I ignored it and put down my phone again then closed my eyes. I was about to go back to sleep when my phone vibrated in my hand, it felt like a massage.

 "Don't you dare go back to sleep and get up, now!" Simi sent another text. I cursed her for waking me 30mins before my mom does her usuals.

 I had no choice but to obey her, I had to go to school anyway.

 I got up and went downstairs. My mom had a surprised look on her face. It was very rare for me to wake up on my own

"Good morning mummy, why are you all smiley?" I asked

 "Nothing just a little bit happy that you're okay now"

 "oh that's right, let me do the chores now"

 "No don't worry I'll do them I'm leaving for work late today just go take your bath and come down for breakfast"

 "Oh my, if that's what being sick and waking up early means, I'll never stop" I giggled

 "Don't say that again.Just go and get ready for school!" she laughed

 * * *

 "Thanks for waking me up with that text, I didn't have to do the chores" I told Simi whom I met at the gate and we went in together"

 "You're a lazy cow, I'm surprised you're fine already"

 "Oh, you wanted me longer in before? Now I know what you really feel about me" I faked a sob and Simi rolled her eyes.

We were walking towards the school chatting and giggling when we met the "MI's" Rotimi and Temi

 "Hey girls" Rotimi said showing off his white vampire looking teeth

 " You mean hey Hilda cause you never greet me" Simi said with folded arms.

 "Simi, Simi, you know I love you right?" he giggles and he places one hand over her shoulders

 "Yen, yen, yen, yen, yen" Simi said and left me alone with the guys. I also wanted to leave but Temi stopped me

 "We're sorry about yesterday Temi said.

 "Its fine" I whispered

 "Besides how do you cope with her?" Rotimi asked

 "What do you mean? she's not that bad" i said with a wicked smirk on my face.

 "What do you mean she's not bad? She's a total nut case"

 "Don't talk about my baby like that" Temi said moving closer to Rotimi like an angry chicken.

 "Baby? The baby that hasn't even said yes" Rotimi mocked him for chasing after a girl that doesn't have interest in him while. He saw Temi was getting really furious.

Rotimi laughs "Chill out bro, I was just joking"

 I had to leave those two alone before I get entangled in their petty argument. As I walk towards the stairs I felt an aura of intense focus on me, as if somebody was staring at me. I looked around but everybody was minding their business, Then I looked up the first floor, then the second floor, then I saw him, Alex. I felt kinda happy so I smiled at him but he just turned around and walked to his class room .

 "Oh, oh ,oh my God, did he Just snub me? I said. I felt disgraced, there I was trying to be friendly and he did that. I was so disappointed with myself, I've never let a guy see my soft side but I had to let this newbie see it.

 "This is so gonna ruin my day" i cried.

 My mood was the same as yesterday's. I wasn't smiling neither was I frowning. I was just moody. I talked less, I didn't even talk at all and I was just so grateful to God that nobody bothered to ask me what's up cause I don't have any excuse to give and I don't wanna lie. This new boy just made me look like a lame man. All i could think of was him and why he just seems so...

 "What's his name?" Nina asked Comfort from across the class. They were bother seated bext to the window but Nina had pulled her seat next to Comfort's

 These girls are at it again. I knew they were talking about the new boy. When it comes to cute guys, these two never miss the target.

"Oh God why are they doing this to me!!!" I was screaming in my head. There I was battling and trying to forget him but now, I think I might just pass out.

 "I don't know his name, he doesn't move around much" Comfort replied Nina's question.

 "How would he move around, he just came yesterday" Nina said

 "Yeah that's true but didn't you mingle with some of the seniors yesterday to find out?" Comfort asked Nina

 "No, I was too busy with Dami"

 "What does he want from you again?" Comfort asked with disgust on her face

 "He wants us back together"

 "After he cheated on you with a Junior?"

 "I know right, me wey set, fine and smart" Nina emphasized her curves, gesturing with her hands to highlight her figure.

 "Just tell him to seat his ass down and he should make sure that seat is far away from you"

 "Yes ma'am, let's forget about him and focus on this new guy, he has my heart already" Nina said tired of talking about her ex Dami a senior in SS3B. Everybody knows Dami was never a one woman man, he's a community meal.He was cheating on her with an SS1 girl.

 "I know right, bet his name would be amazing like Ryan or Anthony"

 "Yeah or Bethel or Gabriel"

 "Those names are ordinary and you know he's extraordinary, so its either Anthony or Ronald or..."

 "His name is Alex !" I blurted out in my subconscious but u have no idea I said it out loud . Well thank God I did,they were going on and on about the boy, i had to end their distress and save myself the stress.

 "What did you say hilda?" Comfort asked me

 "His name is Alex, Alexander"

 "Awwww" the two girls chorused

 "Its much more amazing than I thought" Nina said blinking her eyes rapidly.

 "Oh no" I sighed as i covered my face with my hands. i made a huge mistake. I thought telling them his name will make them stop talking about him but now, I just gave them more reason to never stop. 

 "Its such a beautiful name for a beautiful person" Nina said with her right hand on her chest.

 I had to leave the class, I couldn't take it anymore. I have no idea why all these are happening and I don't like where its going. Feeling this way for somebody I just met is weird and it reminds me of Anna in frozen who just met Hans and wanted to marry him straightaway. No! I can't let myself go for somebody who doesn't give a damn about anything happening around him..

 The assembly was over, yes, he was there too and we were standing pretty close to each other I wanted to turn into dust but I didn't even look at him or turned or stood towards his direction, I was just focused on whatever was happening on the assembly ground, I could not afford to loose focus and get humiliated again. After assembly I just walked upstairs in a slow pace, sat down quietly and ghosted myself, I didn't partake in any activities that day, I just wanted to be on my own. I had gone into the state of partial depression.

 I know most of you will be thinking my life is the boring type cause I've just been moody and down these days but things just got interesting
