Chapter 29: The First Fight

It's not like I even got an option, I was literally blackmailed, she just said she loves guys who can swim, plus, why must she mention Bright? She even said she loves his swimming talent, and that she will love me if I say yes. It was obvious she gave me no choice but to lie to her. As God may have it, while I was still lost in myself, the bell of the end of break rang, oh! What a relief, I seriously needed the break from this manipulating Cynthia right now.

                         ***THE FIRST FIGHT***

One week later, I already had my uniform, it was very smart on me. You need to see me in my uniform, and my black Italian shoe which mom hand-picked from me from that same boutique which I told you was at the junction of my street, the shoe complemented the uniform most, unlike other students who wore canvas with the uniform, you know the uniform was of two colors, an oxblood trouser, a milk inner shirt, an oxblood suit, and a necktie which comprises of the normal oxblood, Dark blue and milk. I was very happy to be in this school, I was like a celebrity, my story had been the talk of the school since the day I started till date. After the assembly session, all the students matched to their various classes, but I was with my new and only friends in Abuja, 'a clique of girls', I was the only male in the clique of four, actually, they were three, I'm the fourth person, all the girls made it almost too obvious that they had a crush on me, though it was fun to know, still it was becoming embarrassing. Thank God for my sweet Cynthia who often tries to shoo the girls whenever they attempt to be a little too physical with the super cute me, hahaha, don't mind me, I know that my handsomeness is getting to my head, but trust me, in only trying not to make it that obvious. Did I say that Cynthia also had a crush on me? Well she does, and she believed I felt the same way about her, I don't know how she managed to think that, I thought I was hiding it. so, because she believed I'll ask her out soon, she made sure the girls do not distract me from focussing on her. Yeah, she had dreams that we will have a thing, so she wouldn't like her friends to ruin it for her.

As we walk to our class, we walked past Bright and his friends who sat under the mango tree which was just at the front of the class, they sat there discussing like they had no business with the class.

"Just look at him, so comfortable in the company of girls, what is he even telling them? And why are they laughing so loud?"

Bright asked, looking very furious, restless, and jealous.

"Very loud."
