Chapter 127

if you weren't here earlier, you wouldn't have thought the guy smiling beside me was once fake crying.

Ah ha, now he've said his main reason for wanting to attend the party with me; he's afraid I will forget all about him at the party.

"You need not worry Kwofo, you're always in my heart", I smile sweetly, "not even Madne can erase thoughts of you from my mind".

He grimace, "please don't mention her name; even far from her as I am now am still afraid of the woman", he shivers.

Madne was my first tutor, and she's the worst; in a story of villains and heroes she's the head villain.

The one who refuses to die without taking others down with her.

Kwofo had a little problem with her; a problem so insignificant it wouldn't have been a matter of much focus.

Kwofo mistakenly fell her book down during one of my arithmetic classes, and since then till I asked father for a replacement, she made it a part of her life goal to make Kwofo's life a living hell.

It doesn't help that her gift is animal calling and whispering, and weapon forming; magic she used to her advantage when it came to Kwofo.

I can still vividly recall the day she sent a Agu after Kwofo; it was during one of our rare outdoor learning.

Kwofo was leaning on a tree trunk watching as I learn my numbers, when all of a sudden a Agu( it almost looks like the Earth's Lion but with more fangs and long sharper claws; it's amne wasn't as big as the Lion's)came out of the wood and started chasing after poor Kwofo.

The more Kwofo runs, the nearer the Aguilera comes after him; he ran till he tripped on a fallen branch tumbling down to the drain nearby.

The fall gave him a lot of injuries; injuries that took moons to heal.

The Agu stoped chasing him after he fell into the drain; turning to look at me, it ran back into the forest.

Me? I was busy laughing my head off at the hilarious sight of Kwofo running; the look on his face was real priceless.

Till date I make it a duty to tease him concerning Miss Madne; the Agu incident wasn't all she did to me, the are too numerous to mention.

"She loves you, you know?", I grin like the clowns Avel tells me about( one day I will like to visit the earth he l talks so much about; am earth filled with lots of sounds and musical notes. An earth with a blue sky and green leaves. It with really be refreshing visiting the place that doesn't have an orange sky and mostly blue plant).

"Who's that?", he picks his nail; he must have already forgotten about his love Madne.

" Madne ofcourse, who else? ", I gave him a coy smile, " she talks of you every chance she gets".

Getting him frustrated is what I plan to do about; if he can disturb my peace, I also can make him sleepless.
