Chapter 37

It's their fault as well as it's mine.

Today at breakfast, Blondie took a seat at the end, leaving the middle chair empty.

When we walked into class, he took the last one, leaving the middle one still open.

It's as if he plans to keep me in the middle based on reasons best known to him.

If I was sitting with anyone besides Reddy, I will be downright happy.

Sitting beside him rubs off on me.

Very soon, I might start acting like him if I happen to sit beside him every day.

Blondie is supposed to sit in the middle, that way he will be the other person at the receiving end of Mister Grumpy's moody swings.

He acts like the world we're in wronged him.

It's like he would rather not be here like I was, and was forced to be here.

At least am better than him, I've got Kwofo (talking of him made me miss him the more. It's only been hours since our first quarrel, but I feel like I am missing a considerable part of me. 

It's like a massive part has been scraped off from my heart.

 I looked back at where he was seating with a Reddy, resisting the urge to go over there and pull the hair of the vampire he was laughing with.

I felt jealousy bloom in the pit of my stomach.

I'm not jealous because I want his attention, am jealous. After all, it seems he has replaced me.

He locked eyes with me for a second before he turned back to her, blatantly dismissing me. 

I felt my guts clench, grudge bearer is back with a vengeance) who kept me company until our meaningless quarrel.

“Don't you agree, am more fun than any other Blondie?” Blondie winked at me, “am more special and fun than they're. You're lucky I chose you instead of leaving you to go to the pack of hungry wolves”, he smiled.

I gave him a look," a pack of hungry wolves, you say?”

He nods at my question.

" What are you then, since they are the hungry wolves?” I scoff.

He smiled, “Am the smoking hot funny wolf”.

I laughed at that, “that's the funniest thing I've heard from your mouth today”, I held my stomach gasping for breath.

He winked," glad this smoking hot funny wolf made your day.

I was born to please, and you're in luck I picked you like the one I will please”, he ruffled my hair.

I've made a mental decision not to comb and style my hair ever again until am through with this hole.

He always ruffles the hair I took very great pains to seem presentable, it's like it's on one of his bucket lists, 2: ruffle Blacky's hair anytime you get the chance.

Reddy grumbled, “can you two shut up for a minute?” he narrowed his slit eyes on us, “if this is how you will behave throughout the semester, you can find another partner, I'm not interested”.

Blondie made a sorry expression, “you mister grumpy pants are stuck with us forever. You're the completion to our musketeer's group”.
