Chapter 41: More Love And Attention

                ***More Love and Attention***

After the swimming that day I will say that the level of my popularity increased to higher significant level, throughout that day, my story was in the mouth of almost all students and teachers. But I won't say that the population had brought about more love to me because both Bright and the rest of his clique saw me now as even a higher threat. First, they believed that I am thanking their girls from them, something I got no plans of doing, but I must confess that I will really like to take Cynthia from them, Just Cynthia, no one else.

Talking about Cynthia, she and the rest of the super Cee were so happy for me, they kept holding and grabbing me, asking me numerous questions that I have no answer for. 

"Why did you delay before going into the water? Why must you wait till that clown come to push you?"

Cynthia asked looking a bit disappointed.

"Didn't you get the concept? That's how professionals do, he wants to make everyone think he doesn't know how to swim, he is just catching cruise like every other professional." 

Chinwe responded.

"Ok, I understand, but I must confess that he gave me scare when he went done the water without any movements."

Charity said.

"Did you not see that I almost died out of a heart attack?"

Cynthia said.

"Hahahaha, you girls are funny, why can't you just see things fast. It is just his way of proving to the entire school that he is the next Merman, you that even the so call kunle can not last that long underwater."

Chinwe added. This girl Chinwe just kept answering all the questions on my behalf, I must confess that I love it, because I don't even know what to tell them, except for the truth which was definitely dumb. Till the school closed that very day, I wasn't myself, I kept thinking if there will be a later reaction that might lead to my death and what mom will do if she ever found out that I have swum. But on a more serious note, where did I learn how to swim from, when did I learn it, how possible is it to breathe underwater? How can water ever sing? Why do I feel this strong attraction to the water? What if I die tonight? All these thoughts ran down my deep hollow mind, but I have a consolation, and that is Cynthia, I have proven to her I am the kind of man she loves, and as it goes, I think we are actually heading to the love zone, I can see how soft she is towards me lately, Cynthia is not the type of a to be described as soft, but recently, she had been sifting towards me, especially after the swimming. After school period, I and and Cynthia went home, she rested on my shoulders all through at the car that we took home.
