(OUR CRAZY LOVE STORY )

CHAPTER NINE
🦋BE MY GIRLFRIEND 🦋
💜Viktor 💜
I freaking hate Saturdays
Or any day that demanded staying at home with my parents.
I just finished styling my hair and I walk to the dining table where I meet my parents and my half brother Jason, eating lunch.
” finally someone decides to join us for lunch ”
Mom says with her l-ips curled up in distaste, I’m used to thier constant nagging, Jason is the perfect child, he is a year older than me and well let’s just say he is the true heir and I’m the adopted one
” I’m sorry I wasn’t really coming to join you guys, I was looking for my cologne ”
I said while making an attempt to walk away
” come back here Viktor Peterson! ”
Dad thundered, the glow in his eyes makes me aware that he is damn angry
” you will seat down and eat with us, why can’t you be like Jason, why must you question everything we tell you ”
Because you guys are super controlling, because you have been controlling every single thing that I do.
I just huff and seat down opposite Jason, he gives me an apologetic smile, I dip a forkful of Indomie into my mouth
I almost spit it out because the taste is so bland, mom never puts seasoning in her Indomie, technically the seasoning is bad for our health so she just cooks it like that
Honestly I wonder how they were all comfortable eating it, even with the eggs sliced on top of it, I just can’t eat it.
All the food in the house have always been more nutritious than delicious.
I’d rather buy food at the restaurant rather than eat at home.
” I , your dad and Jason, we were talking about a huge decision we can make in the hospital, we’re thinking about introducing alternative medicine, like physiotherapy, naturopathic medicine or even acupuncture”
Mom said and they all nod in response, they all look at me awaiting my response but I’ll be dammed if I say I understand anything they’re saying, when the silence is becoming too much
Mom breaks the silence
” what do you think Viktor ”
” I.. I don’t really understand I guess anything you want to do is fine ”
” I should have known you’ll say something like that, are you forgetting the fact that you’re a Peterson!, and all Peterson’s are medical practitioners, how can you not have any understanding of what we’re saying, why can’t you emulate Jason, he graduated with one of the best grades at highschool or are you forgetting the fact that he also has a prestigious award of the best young scientist of the year!!
Mom said raising her hands to demonstrate her fustration
“Naturopathic medicine is based on a belief that the body heals itself using a supernatural
vital energy that guides bodily processes.”
Jason whispers in my ears
I guess I wasn’t born to understand anything that has to do with medicine!
It was just to please my parents
I guess they’re never going to understand my desire for arts or the satisfaction that I feel after painting a beautiful portrait.
But to them arts is not even a course, I can’t even mention it to their ears.
I can never be like Jason with his geeky spectacles and somehow shy attitude
But all the same, I must do what my parents want because like I said earlier, I’m adopted
and they have the right to control my wh0le life.
My phone rings and it only earns me a disapproving look from mom and dad
I check the screen and find out that it’s a call from Quinton
” my guy, I’m at oshodi oo, I just enter one shop like that, you need to see the kind of clothes that are here that’s why I decided to call you, , as in! you need to come and check it out!! ”
Quinton said over the phone
I deliberate over it
Why should I leave my house on impulse
Hell! Anything is better than staying in this house
” I’m sorry mum, dad but Quinton just called, I totally forgot that there is a seminar at school today, it’s like an empowerment programme for science students and I need to be on my way ”
Dad frowns at me
” I guess it’s more like you to forget something as important as that ”
” you’re just not focused on the right things,
the other day I called your principal, he told me you’re one of the best football players in the school, why do you keep disobeying us, football is nothing but a silly pastime, how can you waste your precious time on it ”
Mom added
” just be back in time for dinner, bro”
Jason said as he shrugs his shoulders
Sometimes I wish to be like Jason, but if I’m like Jason, who will be the prince at state high, the one all the girls are dying for
I brush a hand through my hair to make sure it’s perfectly styled
I think I should have at least two thousand naira in my back pocket
Oshodi! Here I come!
💚 Erica 💚
All our attempts have failed, we stopped a second car, a couple were in the car, we had pleaded with the man to help us but the woman had taken one look at Sasha and claimed that she didn’t want this s€×y girl anywhere near her husband.
Not even for a small lift 😒😒
We sat down on the floor, but this place is so busy with people trooping here and there that we had to find somewhere else to go.
We decide to go and sit in front of a nearby boutique
It was almost four o clock
My mom would have been so worried by now, in her usual way of thinking, she’ll think I’ve probably gotten into trouble by now
I mourn the loss of my phone, unlike Sasha, Tori and Shanaya, it’s going to be a long time before I get a new phone, I may not even get one this year.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
They said they were only sad about the loss of their SIM card
And I was like SIM?
How much is SIM?
Who does SIM help?
Our predicament had made us understand each other, even though we all keep our distance from Shanaya, the marks on my neck throbs painfully and the harshness of the sun beating against my skin only increases this pain
I’ve learnt that Shanaya hates men, anytime a guy passes, it’s either the guy trips and falls or something equally disastrous happens to him, she did it in such a way that no one figures out but I only know this because of the slightest change of color in her eyes.
I wonder if she Is the one that helped me deal with Sasha’s silly driver
Silly me! Of course she is
I find it so hærd to believe that it’s just this afternoon that Sebastian almost harmed me.
A lot of things have happened today I guess.
Sasha makes a fuss about everything, it’s like the sun was shining on only her, the way she was swearing and fussing.
Tori, my dear clumsy friend, I can’t believe how someone can be optimistic in a situation like this
She keeps on wishing for a knight in shining armor that’s going to come and help her.
I just roll my eyes
This is Nigeria!!
And knights in shining armor do not exist here!!
All of a sudden, Tori’s face becomes animated and lively as she smiles, her cheeks were flushed and rosy as she points at a figure
“Oh my God he is here, my Prince Charming!! ”
I look at the direction she is pointing to
Oh my God!
What the hell!!
💜Viktor 💜
I don’t know how long I stood at the bus stop, I try Quinton’s number but it isn’t connecting.
Instead of staying here why not look at the boutiques nearby
But they are thousands of boutiques in this busy area, how am I going to find him
I switch on my data to check if Quinton is online so I can chat him up and I’m amazed at the number of messages that floods my whatsapp
can’t wait to see you on Monday my crush 😘😘
I love you Viktor, I totally adore you, you’re my crush and everything 😄😄😄
I swipe the messages away angrily
Why do Quinton keep giving my number to unknown girls in the school.
I step into a boutique and almost stop in my tracks
Because sitting down in front of the boutique with her hair spilling around her shoulders is the love of my life, Sasha Grey.
No I have to be hallucinating!, I rub my eyes again just to be sure
It’s really her
It is Sasha
It was only when I saw the fat girl that was squealing with excitement that I finally know that I’m not imagining things.
That was when I noticed that it’s not only Sasha that’s there, Erica is there too and one girl with the weird Indian dressing.
But Sasha and Erica are sworn enemies, why are they together.
I was even more surprised when Erica leaves the others and walks towards me
Jeez! What happened to her neck
She even smiled at me
” Viktor I’m really grateful for yesterday, it was really kind of you for getting me the shoes ”
Wow
Is this really Erica!
Because if I’m to remember, when I bought her the shoes yesterday, she wasn’t really grateful, all she said was a stifled ‘thank you’ while glaring at me and asking me how I know her shoe size that I couldn’t even bear to broach the topic of asking her to be my girlfriend.
” you’re welcome ”
I said with a wave of my hands
” Viktor I need your help ( she grits her teeth as if it’s such an abomination to say that she needs my help) we’re stranded and we um need money to get home ”
Stranded Huh
Perhaps I can use this to my advantage
This is the time to put Quinton’s advice into practice, the first step that will make me get Sasha Grey
” oh I’ll help you ”
I said while smiling at her.
” oh my God! Thank you!!!! ”
She smiled brilliantly and almost hugs me but she steps back, almost horrified at what she was about to do
” I’m sorry ”
She apologize immediately
I stare deep into her eyes
” I’ll only help you if you agree to be my girlfriend, be my girlfriend Erica ”
😝😜😛
