CHAPTER THIRTY: BREAK TIME

CHAPTER THIRTY: BREAK TIME

"Stand up Floral, let's go buy food. I am so hungry after been taught three subjects non stop" Morayo said as she stood beside me

"I am coming, let me just put all my books inside my bag and get my money out" I said as I arranged my books properly into my bag and then pull out my small purse before zipping my bag

"Hi John" Victoria greeted as she looked at John's side

I dropped my bag on the ground next to my desk while looking at Victoria and then at John in confusion

When did she start greeting him?

"Hey" he said as he looked at her and then stood up and left the class with a fair boy

"When did you start exchanging greetings?" I whispered as I looked at Victoria smiling

"Since now" she answered smiling

"I was the one that told her to take the first move and I am glad he responded back" Morayo said smiling as if praising herself

"Wow, I am also glad he didn't shun you and left the class" I said as Vanessa entered the classroom

"Hey girls" she said as she walked towards us

"Right timing" Victoria said

We decided not to say anything about what happened because we can't trust Vanessa yet

"Let's go now, I am so hungry" Morayo said as she took the lead

We followed her out of the class to the canteen

We ordered for our food and waited for Vanessa before we ate

She came to our table with a very small quantity of food

"Will that okay you?" I asked as I looked at her food

"I guess so, I can't just be spending anyhow since I don't have much" she shrugged as she sat on the chair next to me

"Bring your plate, let me buy more for you" Victoria said as she stood up and stretched her hand towards Vanessa

"Thank you, I hope it won't cause any stress" Vanessa asked not giving Victoria her plate

"Nah, it won't. You are my friend and I have to help you" Victoria said as she continues stretching her hand waiting for Vanessa plate to touch her hand

"Okay, I am very much grateful" she said as she handed Victoria her plate

Victoria collected the plate from Vanessa and went to buy more food

Morayo and I were busy eating while watching them

I am still having this instinct in not trusting this Vanessa of a girl

After eating,

We walked to class as Vanessa spoke to us about what happened in her class

She is more open than us that refuse to tell her anything about ourselves

"The teacher beats the hell out of his body for whining the teacher in the class" she concluded smiling

Morayo laughed at what Vanessa said, I just smiled because Morayo's laugh is so contagious

"The guy is very funny, what is his name again?" Morayo asked as she looked at Vanessa

"Malik, his name is Malik." She answered

"Malik who?" Morayo asked curiously

"Abdul-raheem Malik" she answered Morayo's question

"Oh, and that guy is so intelligent. It is as if the scientists from America put computer in his head" Morayo said as she emphasized on her words

"Yes, he is and he also whines teachers" Vanessa answered as we walked into out class together

"Aren't you going to your class?" Victoria asked as she noticed Vanessa entering our class

"I am not yet going till the bell rings for break over" she said as we entered

Morayo and Victoria sat on their chair, I sat on my seat since I am behind them and Vanessa sat on Victoria's table

John was already in the class before me and he was busy drinking Zobo before he took out his sketch book and started sketching

"You draw?" Victoria asked as she noticed John's sketch book

"Yeah, I draw a lot of animes" he said as he showed Victoria his sketches

He is seriously so nice to Victoria and I am in for it. I still have this idea of Victoria not going for him but since, she loves him, there is no need to put a stop in it

"Your drawings are great" Vanessa said as she stretched her head towards the drawing making it difficult for Victoria to see

John didn't say anything as he flipped back to blank page to start sketching another thing in mind

"She is right, they are so great. You are indeed talented" Victoria said as she nodded her head in agreement as she looked at him

"Thank you, I am glad for the compliment you gave to me" John said as he looked at her before looking at his book

"Aren't you not going to thank me too?" Vanessa asked as she looked at him

"I didn't call you into the discussion, so why will I just thank an outsider?" John answered not even looking at her as he continued sketching an anime

"John, why are you so harsh? Have you guys met before?" I asked as I looked at Vanessa and then at John

"No, we haven't met at all" Vanessa answered immediately

John looked at her and then at the sketch book not saying anything

"I wonder why he is harsh to you. Well, if John gets to know you, you will know that he is only harsh to people he just meets" I said to her in assurance

"Okay" she answered

"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnngggg" the bell rang for break over

"See you guys after school hours" Vanessa said as she left our class
