SPECIAL FRIEND:James

The door opened reviewing three boys. One with low cut and the other two with afro high cut hairstyles. Upon seeing the scene inside,the boys at the door were staring at the two with mouth agape, it's not like it's every day you come across such scenes. Adiguin had to let out a cough before speaking.

"James ,so you've been here and we were searching for you all over the place".

James is backing them to cover Serena's flushed face.

"Why look for me when you know am somewhere in the school. Why do you always have to act dump all the time ?".

Adiguin immediately facepalmed himself. That's expected of James, to always act stupid when he’s with Serena. So he instead shifted to not disturb their moment.

"so, you were here doing love"?

This time it's Kelvin that spoke up since no one wanted to talk and Golden is just there smiling cheekily.

"Who is the girl sef"?

Golden finally spoke up still having that cheeky smile on his face.

"Am sure that's Serena who else would it be? James won't dare to stare at another girl when she's around ".

Adiguin who previously left the door said as he stepped in.

"You guys should go am coming ".

James said still covering Serena's face as he laughed enjoying the situation in which Serena found herself.

"Ouch"!

He suddenly screamed because Serena stepped at him hard on his feet.

"Imagine the idiot that is asking us to go, that he is coming whereas he is still here doing love".

Adiguin fumed inwardly really founding James' attitude disgusting.

"Guy, you are gone, gone in love.

Golden mocked. The only one who wasn't speaking among them is Kelvin as he just stood there watching the two love birds.

" How many are they".

Serena whispered to James not wanting them to hear her speak.

"It's just the three of them, Adiguin, Golden, and Kelvin. Turn around and see for yourself they won't laugh at you, anyone who does will be slapped.

"Wait ooo, what did you just say? Who is he going to slap who ? Imagine this idiot".

That's Golden talking as he wasn't the type to shut up at such statements. Serena quickly detached herself from James and shyly faced the boys and they burst out laughing while she pouted which lead to James scolding them to stop embarrassing her.

"Come, let me take you to class".

James said and entwined their hands together as they made their way to class while the boys followed behind.

" I will leave you here, as I have other things to attend to ".

James said as he gently squeezed Serena's hand and she nodded expecting him to leave after saying that but instead, he raised his hands to knock at the classroom door after that, he waited patiently for the teacher inside to urge them in. Hearing the teacher's response James pushed open the door to review only Serena's face and their entwined hands.

"I will see you later"

He squeezed her hand one last time before disappearing with the boys. Serena slowly made her way to her seat not without hearing whispers everywhere and some of the words she could vividly hear.

"Omo, this their love is on another level ".

"So all this while she had been missing in class so ,she is with him ".

"oppression everywhere "

Some of the words that she heard were insults, some were admiration.

Serena didn't understand why people would think that she and James were dating when they were just best friends. She tried correcting them but they asked her to stop acting coy.

Upon getting to her seat she forgot that she has a friend who wouldn't miss this type of thing for the world.

"sooo"

Linda stressed her so as she nudged Serena but she kept quiet not daring to look at Linda or even entertain such discussion with her.

"So this is how best friends act, all lovely"

Linda said dreamily as she blinked her eyes repeatedly in a funny manner.

"You are telling me everything once the teacher is out "

It's at this moment that Serena wished her seatmate is someone else other than Linda then maybe she would be able to get a rest of mind from all these queries she always got from her but she also understood that everyone has their odd and good side and she doesn't have to judge because she isn't in any way better than them.

But she promised that would never allow James to escort her to class again since it would always create a problem in class and anywhere they went as far as it’s in school.
