"You are joking right?" joy asked looking surprised. "Im just joking.Why would I have a boyfriend? That would be stupid and besides my mum always lectures me about having a boyfriend. I wouldn't want to disobey her" Valerie said smiling at joy
"Don't joke about such thing again. Don't try it. Im going to class"Maya rolled her eyes leaving the canteen
"Wait for me" Jennifer heard joy saying and running after Maya
AT THE CLASS
Lecturer Luciana was exiting the class when she saw the four girls strolling in.
"You girls missed my class? For what reason?" Lecturer Luciana asked angrily.
"Em ....em. Ma ..am deeply sorry...It won't....repeat itself."joy apologize not wanting to encounter the lecturer's wrath. Lecturer Luciana is a 42 years old woman who is very strict and gets angry at the slightest provocation. All are students are scared of her except from Zach who's the son of a politician.
"For what reason i asked not for you to apologize. Well,every action has a repercussion and you know the repercussion."
"Which is?" The four girls chorused shivering.
"Pick the dirt around the environment"lecturer Luciana said smirking
"OK ma" They all chorused
Lecturer Luciana exited the class and the four girls went to their sit feeling embarrassed and ashamed. The whole class saw what happened and the punishment they were given.
On the other hand Zach was thinking about a way to approach joy. He stood up from he sit and walked up to joy. She was sitting on the desk while operating her phone. He wanted to say hi but it was time for lunch and that spoiled the show for Zach.
Joy stood up,took her bag and went to meet her friends without even knowing that Zach was standing close to her. But zach was resolute he wanted to make his move today.
"Joy"Zach said stopping her from exiting the class.
Joy heard her name but don't know who exactly called it.
"Joy" he called again. This time she knew who called her. Zach walked up to her and said hi. Joy was so nervous that she couldn't say anything but smile.
"Am Zach. And you are?"
"Joy. "
"Nice to meet you joy"
"Yeah"
"you are heading to the canteen right?"
"No am not. I'm heading to meet my friends if you don't mind" joy said and was about to leave but she heard him say "can we be friends?"
"Huh?"
"Can we be friends?"
"Em .. Yes we can be friends. I will see you later"joy said trying to avoid the next question.
"Your number. Please type it in my phone"
Joy did so quickly without hesitation. After typing it she asked herself if she was okay.
"Bye then. Talk later.Zach said bringing her back.
"OK."
