Chapter 33

Blondie like always sat on a chair beside Reddy, leaving the middle (that's the chair in between his seat and Reddy's) empty.

At his action, I look up in question.

He can't possibly expect me to sit beside a grumpy Reddy, could he?

 I turned to the chair near the table Blondie was sitting on, “mind if I sit with you,” I smiled at the girl.

She nodded, “yes, you can o_”, she looked towards the table Blondie was occupying, and she shook her head “I meant to say no, the seats are kept for my friends, but they are not yet in class”, she apologized.

I don't understand her change of mind, minutes ago she was okay with me sitting with her, and now she's telling me the same seats she proclaimed empty are now by done miracle occupied.

The same thing happened to me on my fourth try.

If no one accepts me, Kwofo might, but the moment I started walking toward him, he just stood up and walked out of class.

His action confused me.

What is the gods' name wrong with Kwofo?

I've not known him to be like this, he holds grudges like a female, that I know. Never in life have I known him to ignore me, he's the one who tries to get my attention, not the other way around.

I reluctantly walked towards a not smiling Blondie.

It seems they are the only ones who don't mind sharing a seat with me.

Taking a seat in my designated chair, I flopped my face down on the table.

 

“What's wrong?”

He must have picked up on my mood swing based on how angry I was when I sat beside him.

 I haven't felt as frustrated as I did with my best friend avoiding me like a plague.

 I don't know what I've done wrong, and he's not ready to tell me since he can't beat staying in the same I am in.

“Kwofo is still not talking to me, he's avoiding me with every fibre in his being”, I lamented.

I need my best friend, I want us to go back to the way we were. 

I won't mind enduring his flirty session if that will get me my best friend back, I won't mind his talks and dirty mind if that will get him back.

 “Don't worry, he will return to you. You two are best friends, he's suffering the same way you're”, he leaned in, “although I must confess, am pissed off you're thinking of another guy while sitting with me. It makes me boil in jealousy”, his tone and face were serious.

If I don't know him better, I would have thought he was flirting with me, but Blondie, being who he is, is a playful person.

I laughed as if that will be the case.

As a prince, he knows how frowned upon a relationship with another person of a different species is frowned upon, not that it has happened before, at least not in my lifetime.

He looked confused, “why are you laughing?" he looked curious, it's as if he hasn't seen a laughing person.

“Your words sounded more like flirting than playful banter.

If I don't know better,  I would have thought you were flirting with me instead of joking around”, I smiled to reassure him, I wasn't hoping for him to start his flirting.
