Chapter 2: First meeting... First Kiss
They were drinking water and talking when I walked to Senior Henry.
"Uhm... Problem?" He paused, turning to me. I took a deep breath, reached up and held his face then kissed him. He was too shocked to resist. And when I pulled back, his big baby eyes widened and he blinked repeatedly.
All eyes were now on me as I walked back to the bleachers.
Claire's mouth was open
Christy's mouth was in a shocked O
Kamsy was covering her mouth... Ahmed too, had his mouth hanging.
I sat down. It was just a kiss. Little did I know that would be the start of a whole entire adventure.
. . .
"Oh my god, Olivia. I love your morale"
"I swear. I didn't know you would do it" Claire said.
I couldn't believe I did it either. Claire was still shocked too. Her 'naive Olivia' actually kissed her crush. My hands were shaky afterwards and I almost had a panic attack.
What had given me the courage to do that dare anyways?
I'd just kissed our super cute Deputy Senior prefect...
On the lips
In front of almost all the seniors
And since then, I've been scared that... who knows, Ss2 girls will call me and pummel me to death. Or maybe someone else crushing on him would attack me. Or...
"Good evening Seniors! You're humbly welcome to our n..."
"It's okay"
Four Senior girls had just walked into the class.
Oh God.
They were all Ss2s
Oh God...
I recognized Senior Nancy on a huge pink sweater. Beside her was one very strict disciplinarian, Senior Artemis... Actually Senior Amarachi. Senior Artemis was our nickname for her.
With them were Senior Twinkle and another new pretty Senior I didn't recognize.
"Who is Ezeh Olivia?" Senior Artemis asked
Damn. They're here for me.
Claire nudged me and I stood up.
"Y.... Yes. Senior" I stammered.
"Please step outside" Senior Nancy asked with a cute smile. I gulped and Claire squeezed my hand before I then walked out of the class.
"Follow me" Senior Twinkle said. I nodded trying my best to look less concerned and cool.
When we got out of my set block and some metres away they all turned to me.
Senior Artemis spoke first.
"I suppose you know why we're calling you"
There was no need to play dumb
I nodded
"Ok. Good. Now that has been established, you can now tell us why you kissed your DSP (Deputy Senior Prefect)" Senior Nancy said
"Oh... I kissed him cause I like him" I blurted.
"Ooh... Nice" Senior Twinkle giggled.
"That's not a proper answer " Senior Artemis snarled
"Ok. Tell us about yourself " Senior Nancy then said with a friendly smile.
"Uhmm... Ok... My name is Ezeh Olivia. I'm 15. I'm from Imo state" They all exchanged looks
"Go on"
"I... Um... Like drawing and... I want to study social works in the University. I love singing and dancing... and... Senior Henry" I blabbed
Fuck. Olivia... I thought
"Hmm. Ok"
"Love isn't the word I was expecting... But... Ok"
Senior Twinkle muttered,
They all gathered, whispered to each other and atimes turned to look at me
'Oh God. Please help me! I know I'm a sinner but still I promise I'll not dodge Church next Sunday. I promise I'll...' I prayed inwardly.
They all turned back to me
"Why did you kiss Henry in front of everyone?"
I sighed and turned on my drama button internally.
"Seniors. I really like him. And I just couldn't bear to watch him look so cute... So... I ... I acted on impulse"
"Really? Looked like the kiss was planned to me"
Senior Artemis said and I gritted my teeth.
"Seniors. Please tell him. I really like him and I want to talk to him"
"Are we now messengers?" Senior Twinkle asked
"Sorry Seniors"
Senior Artemis smiled
"Well, tell him yourself. Follow us"
My eyes widened
"Follow us"
"Don't be shy" Senior Nancy said to me
What the hell did I get myself into?
I followed them, wishing I could just die. I hesitated and I felt like my heart flew out of my chest and returned when the new Senior held my hand. I let out a deep breath before alighting the stairs of the SS2 block.
I gulped
They took me into their noisy class... And there he was, laughing with his friends, Senior Jerry and Senior Jordan.
Henry. Your wife!"
