HER LAST WISH
(Moremi)✨
 
Chapter 20.
 
Zeemah Writes . .
 
“Jennie” Dan called after her and she stopped without turning.
He quickly walked up to her, still surprised she had walked away after telling him she had something to say to him.
 
“What’s wrong?” He ask.
“Nothing” She smile and he knew her well enough to know the smile was a façade and that got him more worried. Jennie wont fake a smile if something wasn’t wrong.
“You said you had something to tell me” He said.
“Not anymore” She said about walking away but he pulled her back gently.
He hated that his body still reacts to her touch…
“What do you mean? How can you suddenly not have anything to say to me again”
“I don’t deem it necessary to tell you anymore”
“Why?” He ask, f-cking curious about what she wanted to tell him.
“I felt you deserve to know, that was the reason I wanted to tell you but I suddenly feel you don’t deserve to know any longer, you cant blame my feelings . . can you?” She asked.
 
“Jen, what did you feel I deserve to know?” Dan asked.
“I feel you don’t deserve to any longer . . is that so hærd to understand? . . and . . you’re still holding me” She said, her gaze fixed on Dan’s grip on her arm.
“Oh . . Sorry” He slowly released his grip from her arm and she raised up her head to look him in the eyes.
He quickly snapped out of the charm of her eyes. Her eyes had been the first things he fell in love with then.
“If you feel I don’t deserve to know any longer, then it’s fine, when else you feel ready to talk, just holla” He said.
“I’ll probably not talk to you about it again because you’ll soon find out yourself”
“Really?”
“Yeah”
 
“You’re making me curious. Cant you just tell me before I find out?” He prompted.
“No, and you shouldn’t be so surprised when you find out” Jennie bit her lower lip.
“F-ck” Dan sigh.
“And if you still like me, you should stop” She said and Dan stared at her.
“Please” She added with a pleading gaze, before walking away.
 
He rested his back on the wall and watched her walk away, he sigh deeply when she was finally out of his sight.
“Believe me, I also want to stop liking you but its so hærd” He said, like Jennie was standing in front of him.
She was really over him and he could see it, it hurt him so much and remembering the memories he had had with her almost brought tears to his eyes. They loved each other so much, he wondered what went wrong.
Now that he’s really giving it a thought, him moving to Anne’s school is not enough reason for Jennie to have broken up with him, considering the love they had both shared.
He only moved to Anne’s school, not out of the country. Well, he might not see it as enough reason but she had and he of course respects her decision.
Though, he’s deeply hurt over their separation, he will never regret moving to his sister’s school, he would willingly do it over again.
 
“Dan, what’s wrong?” He heard and snapped out of his thoughts.
He saw Layla standing in front of him, looking up at him worriedly, she was so cute he almost smiled.
“Nothing so serious, i’m just being over-emotional” He said.
“Are you sure you are fine?” She ask.
“I am” He smile.
“You are not” Layla stated worriedly. This would be the first time she’ll see him look this bothered, he’s looking like he would cry.
“Okay . . i’m not but i’ll be, i’ll try to be” He said.
“Is it something Jennie said?” Layla ask after hesitating, though she doesn’t want to pry into whatever is going on between them but she also needed to know the source of the look on Dan’s face.
It’s probably something Jennie said to him, because she had noticed the tensed mood between them before going to the restroom.
 
“She didn’t say anything she shouldn’t have, i’m just being a chicken” He said but there was no trace of humor in his eyes or voice.
Layla knew he was hurt.
 
“Dan, I’ve never been in a relationsh¡p but I can offer you some advice. Still in love with an ex is normal, not getting over an ex as quickly as you want is normal, it only shows how much you cared about her and the relationsh¡p, don’t beat up yourself over it, don’t force yourself to stop liking her or you’ll never stop. Just let everything be, move on with your life, the feeling will fade as gradually as it had built. Getting worked up wont solve anything, it’ll only affect your mental health believe me” She took his hand and gently patted it.
He held on to her hand when she wanted to release it and she let him, smiling at him.
He didn’t say anything for a while, he only stared . . at her.
She was ready to stay here with him as long as he wants if it’s gonna make him feel better and she was a bit surprised when he suddenly pulled her in a hug, muttering thank you.
She smiled, patting his back . Gosh, his back is so hærd plus she has never felt so small in someone’s arms, Dan is way bigger than her, he always towered over her and even now that she was patting his back, she had to strain her hand.
 
“I feel like a short dad, patting his overgrown son back” Layla said and Dan laughed loud, she chuckled too.
They finally let go of each other and Dan was still laughing.
“C’mon, it’s enough” She smiled, though she was glad he was feeling better now.
“Gosh . . your words sometimes are rib crackers” He smiled after he had laughed enough.
“Looks like you’re feeling better, i’m glad” Layla smiled.
” All thanks to you, i’m so grateful for your words. They really helped. Thanks Layla” He said, so glad to have made her not just his friend but his special friend.
“It’s nothing, you would do the same if I were in your shoes. Let’s go back to the hall” She took his hand and they both started working side by side, their hands intertwined.
“I almost forgot there is a party going on” Dan laughed.
“Yeah, you were looking so lost when I approached you” Layla chuckle. “By the way, where’s Anne?”
“She should be in her room” Dan said.
 
“Did you yell at her?” She ask.
“I dare not, i’m not ready to face you guys piercing gazes again, it was so draining” Dan gro-n and Layla laughed.

“I’m still the best at this game” Felix boasted.
“I’m better than you at it but its fine, I know it’ll be hærd for you to admit” Jasper said.
“You really love deceiving yourself, y’all know I’ve always won at this game” Felix said.
“You’ve just been lucky” Jasper scoff.
“There’s nothing like luck in board games, you’re just so pained” Felix laughed.
“You both should just keep quiet, allow the rest of us concentrate” Dan said.
 
They were by the pool, playing board games after they had taken pictures.
 
“Jacq and Dan! You both are out” Felix announced mockingly.
“You don’t have to announce it, we know” Jacq hissed.
“Pained” Felix laughed and Dan slapped his head.
“Ouch . . I cant believe Dan is pained too” Felix laughed h-rder.
“This is the first time Layla will be playing it and she still won over you guys” Jasper giggled.
 
Layla smiled, she was enjoying the game. It’s not so easy but she loves it, Felix only taught her once, before they started and she’s playing it like she has been playing it forever. It’s been fun.
…Jennie, Dan, Jacq and Elvis were out, she is against Jasper, Christ, Felix and Collins now and she’s determined to win.
Anne hadn’t joined them, she was sitting by the pool, reading a novel with her legs in the water.
Elvis was tempted to sit by her side but he knows he dare not, Anne had been the reason he lost so quickly, he had been staring at her.
 
“Jacq, I need to have a talk with you” Dan said quietly to Jacq and they both stood up and walked farther from others.
Dan had confirmed from Fel earlier if Jacq was still giving her attitude and she had said yes, that … she even had to force him to him to dance with her.
 
“So . . what’s up?” Jacq asked.
“It’s about Fel”
“What about Fel?” Jacq raised his brow.
“You really don’t know?” Dan ask.
“How would I know?” Jacq asked and from the tone of his voice, Dan could tell Jacq doesn’t want to discuss Fel.
“Well, she has not been happy recently because you are starting to avoid her. Why are you doing that?” Dan ask.
“I cant believe she came to discuss that with you, it should be between us” Jacq said, looking pissed.
“Hey, why talking like you don’t know how close Fel and I are, we tell each other every damn thing, even before she met you, so .. drop that shit you said and tell me what I need to know” Dan said.
 
“Okay, I know you guys are bestfriends and all but it’s something I don’t want to discuss, at least not yet”
“There’s a reason you’ve been avoiding her?” Dan ask.
“Well . . yeah” Jacq stared at his feet.
“And you don’t want to discuss it?”
Jacq nodded and Dan sigh.
“Well . . I reassured her by telling her you are probably going through something and don’t want to bother her about it, is that truly what’s happening? Are you going through something?” Dan ask.
“Not really” Jacq shrug.
“You are not about to break her heart, are you?” Dan ask suspiciously.
“Speak up!” Dan half yelled when Jacq didn’t answer his question.
“No” Jacq said reluctantly before walking away.
Dan watched him walk away like he had Jennie.
He really hope Jacq isn’t about to make Fel cry or he’ll make him regret it.
 
Dan also walked back to the others, he saw them jubilating except Felix who look like he’s about bursting into tears.
 
“What’s up? What are you guys excited about?” Dan ask.
“Layla is the overall winner” Jasper laughed.
“She won over Felix?” Dan showed his surprise before bursting into laughter.
Felix had always win most of the times and he always boasts about it a lot. He must have relaxed, thinking Layla is an amateur in the game and she’s never going to win over him. Haha.
“This is so funny” Elvis laughed.
“And unbelievable” Jacq said.
“Felix, I cant believe Layla who is playing this game for the first time won over you. OMG” Jasper mocked.
“She was only lucky” Felix said sullenly and they laughed.
” There’s nothing like luck in board games . . ‘in your words’ so, how come Layla won over you with luck?” Jasper taunted with a grin.
 
“Well . . maybe there’s something like luck in board games” Felix said, staring at his feet.
“That doesn’t change the fact that she won over you” Collins stuck out his tongue, laughing.
Jacq glared at him.
“Well I taught her how to play the game, I taught her the same way I play it, that is the reason she won over me, if I hadn’t taught her well, she wouldn’t have. so . . I should take credit for her win” Jacq said and they all laughed again.
“Jacq is so pained right now” Rylan chuckled.
“So pained” Fel laughed.
“He doesn’t want to accept that Layla won over him clean and fair, i’m so glad for this. he wont be bosting every now and then again” Rylan grinned.
“Well, I intentionally went easy on her because it was her first time” Felix claimed.
“Just shut up, Layla won over you” Christ laughed.
 
Layla smiled, watching them taunt Felix, she had been determined to win and she had.
Well, maybe it was luck mixed with determination.
 
It was getting dark or rather, it’s dark already, they hadn’t noticed because of the pool bright light. Though the party wont be over till its 10pm but Layla had to leave now or Phil will have her head.
It’s dinner time and Phil never cooks so Layla knew she had to get home soon enough to make dinner.
She needs to go say goodbye to her best friends parents first.
~
She was set to leave after saying bye to Dan, Fel and Rylan parents respectively.
 
“Bye guys, it was so nice meeting everyone one of you” Layla smiled hugging Dan’s friends one after the other, the hug she and jennie shared was tensed and short, Layla wonder why she didn’t find herself getting along with Jennie like she had with others and Jennie also look like she doesn’t like her.
There was this little feud between them.
 
“It was nice meeting you too Layla” They chorused.
“I wish you didn’t have to leave this early so you’ll help us wh¡p Felix’s ass again” Jasper said and they laughed.
Felix snorted at them.
“Felix is actually very good in the game, if he hadn’t taught me well, I wouldn’t have won” Layla said.
Felix squeal, laughing excitedly.
“I cant believe you’re allowing him raise his shoulder pad again.” Jacq gro-n.
Layla laughed .. “He deserves to, he’s a genius at it, anything one is good at should proudly be flaunted, the only mistake he had made was relaxing because he thought there’s no way I would win over him”
“Serves him right for looking down on you” Dan said.
“Yeah” The rest agreed.
 
“Well . . Layla said im a genius at the game, you guys deal with it” Felix laughed sipping his drink.
“Fool” Jasper muttered under his breath.
 
“Bye guys” Layla waved at them, they waved back at her with smiles except Jennie though, who was now sitting and busy with her phone.
 
“And you should share your contact with us when you finally have a phone” Collins smiled.
“Yeah, you should” The rest chorused.
“Sure” Layla smiled and waved again.
 
Dan and Anne walked her to the gate.
 
“Thanks for coming Layla” Dan said.
“It was nice having you with us” Anne smiled.
“I had so much fun, all thanks to you. Thanks for inviting me” Layla grinned.
“I’m glad you had fun” Dan smiled.
“Yeah, i’m glad I did too, Bye guys” Layla smiled hugging Dan and then Anne who k-ssed her cheeks.
“Paul is going out tonight?” Layla ask as Paul drove the car towards them.
Paul winked at them before driving out of the open gate, which closed automatically.
“Anyway, bye” She waved at them, but Dan pulled her back gently.
“You want something?” Layla asked.
“Paul will be dropping you home” Dan said.
“Wh .. What? Why? That’s not necessary”
“It is, it’s late already and we cant leave you to the stress of looking for cab this late” Dan said.
“Yeah. After all, we invited you here” Anne said.
 
“Thanks so much but i’m going to take a cab, it’s not so late and I wont have to go through the stress of looking for one, Thanks so much guys” Layla smiled.
“No, I insist. You wont get to see cab so quickly here, you might have to waitttt and im sure you would love to get home early” Anne said.
“Besides, my parents are going to get pissed at me, they insisted I make Paul drop you” Dan said.
“Will Paul be fine with it, i’m sure he doesn’t have any plan to drive tonight” Layla said, feeling bad to have being the reason Paul will be driving tonight, he might have just wanted to rest for today.
 
Dan laughed, “Paul is more than glad to drop you home, he’s been wanting to drive all day, sitting idly is not his thing”
“Paul is eagerly waiting outside, get going before he comes to drag you into the car, he has been wanting to drive all day” Anne laughed.
“I should get going, see you tomorrow” Layla smiled, hugging them again.
Dan k-ssed her cheeks this time and muttered ‘a thank you’ in her ear.
Layla wondered what for before her mind trailed back to the advise she gave him, she smiled and winked at him.
 
“Bye” She said walking out of the gate.
“Bye” They waved back at her, smiling.
 
Layla got in the back seat and closed the car door.
Dan and Anne waved till the car was out of sight.
 
“I want a piggyback ride” Anne said, already on Dan’s back before he could object.
He sigh and adjusted her properly on his back before running off to where the rest were with Anne squealing in excitement.
~
“I’m sorry to have made you drive tonight Paul” Layla said.
“Haha, I should thank you for that, been wanting to drive all day”
“Do you love driving that much?”
“I do, very much, I love being in control of the wheel” Paul smiled.
“Wow” Layla smiled, looking out of the window.
 
The night breeze car-ssed her face softly and she grinned. Today was great, it’s been so long she had so much fun. Everything was just so perfect, she’s still so stunned by the amount of love that was shown to her, she hadn’t felt so special in a long time.
She always thought life was a pain, not after she met these wonderful people that showed her life can be fun too, the thought of death has always appealed to her because she thought she didn’t mean anything to anyone, but meeting these people . . They gave her the reason to live and that almost brought tears to her eyes.
~
“Goodnight Paul, thanks for the ride” Layla smiled, alighting in front of her house.
“Night Layla, see you tomorrow” He wink.
He watched Layla walk in before driving off.
 
Layla closed the door behind her and stepped into the living room.
 
It was dark.
 
Phil had probably put off the light and went to bed, she might have ordered pizza or burger for dinner.
Layla sigh in relief, glad she wont have to prepare dinner.
 
She noticed a movement in the dark but quickly brushed it off, darkness can be deceiving.
“I can see you enjoyed the party” Layla suddenly heard. She scre-med, dropping her purse.
She quickly flicked the switch on and saw Phil, sitting on the couch with a blanket covering her body.
“What are you doing alone in the dark? You scared the shit out of me. Why did you put off the light?” Layla asked, recovering from the shock.
“Well . . I rented this apartment so I can do whatever I want in it without any wide-eyed questionnaire questioning me” Phil said.
Layla sighed and picked her purse from the floor.
 
“So, did you enjoy the party?” Phil asked, throwing popcorn into her mouth, that was when Layla noticed the pack of popcorn beside Phil, there was a half burger sitting on the table too with a jug half filled with iced tea and also a glass cup beside it.
“It was fun” Layla said, walking to a couch.
“I can see that, excitement is written all over your face” Phil said and Layla nodded, about sitting.
“Don’t sit! You need to make dinner, i’m hungry” Phil said and Layla stared at her before moving her gaze to the popcorn, burger and iced tea. She was still bent in the position of someone that was halfway sitting before abrupt interruption.
 
“Well, I only had all these as snack while waiting for you to be back and stand straight and stop bending over like a h¡ppopotamus that’s close to death” Phil said with a roll of eyes, she poured more popcorn in her mouth and picked her phone.
 
Layla finally stood straight. “Okay, i’ll go into the kitchen after undressing”
“Hell no, pull off your shoes and go into the kitchen right now. You know im yet to scold you for returning late, do not piss me off Layla” Phil said, her voice raising.
Layla pulled her shoes and dropped her purse on the couch. “What do you want for dinner?”
“Anything that’ll be ready within few minutes” Phil said, her attention on her phone.
“Okay” Layla said, walking to the kitchen.
 
~
 
Dan sat on his bed after freshening up for the night, he smiled once the pictures were uploaded, the pictures they had taken earlier today, he just uploaded them on his Instagram account.
He dropped his phone by his bedside lamp and snuggled under his blanket.
 
He had a great day, today’s party was extra fun.
Layla’s advice replayed in his mind and he smiled, her words brought peace to him, everything that had been bugging his mind is starting to clear off.
 
He cant wait to see her tomorrow…
 
***
 
Dan and Layla walked into the class together like they do everyday, excitement was written over their faces as they talked about the party.
 
Chloe glowed with anger in her seat, she saw the pictures Dan had uploaded and she knew they had been together yesterday.
She had been fuming since she saw the pictures yesternight, her hatred for Layla quadrupled and what was on her mind right now is tearing Layla to shreds.
Dan was saying hi to some of his friends and Layla started walking to her seat.
Chloe saw Layla was about walking past her and she knew she had to do this, she suddenly got to her feet and leaped on Layla, biting her on the neck, Layla scre-med in pain and everyone realizing what was happening rushed to them. Chloe bit deeper not caring if she’ll loose her hair to this.

Chapter 21.
 
Zeemah Writes . . .
 
Chloe saw Layla was about walking past her and she knew she had to do this, she suddenly got to her feet and leaped on Layla, biting her on the neck, Layla scre-med in pain and everyone realizing what was happening rushed to them. Chloe bit deeper not caring if she’ll loose her hair to this.
 
But of course she cared about her hair and that was why everything had been her imagination, if her hair wasn’t at stake, she would have done just that. She watched Layla walked past her to her seat in contempt.
‘Africa Pig’ She muttered angrily only to the hearing of her friends.
They laughed.
“Why are you guys laughing huh?! You’ve been useless all along” She snarled, so pissed.
 
She tuck her hair properly behind her ears when Dan was about walking past her seat, and then plastered a smile across her face.
“Hi Dan” She said.
“Hi” He smiled back at her before walking off to his seat.
“He smiled at you! Way to go girl” Mira grinned.
“He smiles at every other person the same way, that’s just how he is” Sabrina countered.
“Just shut up, you’re bad vibes” Mira scoffed, of course she also knew Dan smiles at almost everyone but she had said that to lift Chloe’s hope, so she’ll feel less angry at them but this fool just had to spoil the wh0le thing.
Chloe knew Rina was right, he smiles at every other person the say way, so she hadn’t taken his smile so special but it had eased her anger.
 
She doesn’t say hi to him before because she had thought he should say hi first, every other guy say hi to her first but with Dan, it seems that’s not going to happen soon and she was determined to get his attention.
She likes him so much, and she hates that Layla has his attention the most.
That girl is just a lowly African, she’s not even worth being her rival. God knows if she could do anything to stop Layla from attending this school, she would gladly do it.
She turned and watched Dan but of course his attention was on Layla, they were discussing and the smile he gives her is quite different from the one he gives others.
Layla is no doubt special to him and that irks Chloe so much.
 
“Do you think I should keep saying hi to him?” She asked her friends.
“Of course you should” They said in a chorus.
“It’s going to make him notice you faster” Christy said.
“And whenever you do, flash him your biggest smile” Mira said.
“I think you should just tell Dan you want to be his friend, with the type of person he is, he wont have a problem with that, being his friend will make you get closer to him faster than you think” Sabrina said.
“Gosh! I hate how you think most times. You mean Chloe should stoop so low to ask Dan to be her friend, she already brought herself to the lowliest level by saying hi to him first and now she should do that shit you’re saying so he’s gonna think she’s so desperate to want to get closer to him and what if he refuses” Miranda said irritably.
“I don’t think he’s someone who will turn down friendsh¡p, he doesn’t look that mean”
 
“So dumb of you to have judged someone by their look, Chloe, do not try what Sabrina said or Dan is never going to rate you” Miranda advised and smiled when Chloe nodded.
~
“Really?” Layla smiled.
“Yeah, i’m serious. Your pictures made me get more likes and comments and everyone kept asking for your handle, my comment section has never raved so mad” Dan gro-ned and Layla laughed.
“It was tiring and when it got to a point, I stopped replying and started getting ready for school” He said.
Layla smiled.
 
“You don’t believe you are beautiful, do you?” Dan asked and she felt heat crept to her cheeks, she’s going to blush.
She shrugged in answer to Dan’s question.
“That’s it! You don’t believe you’re good-looking , you think so little of yourself and honestly, that should stop” Dan said.
Layla smiled.
“A lot of people must have made you feel that way and you are also wrong to have embraced it. I wonder though why half of the guys here are not falling at your feet”
Layla laughed. “Enough of this Dan” .
Chloe’s slander had really made a lot of people avoid her, even the males were just starting to want to get close to her now but she’s not giving any of them the chance, Chloe had made them feel it was very terrible to date an African and they had believed her. Though most of them were starting to see the light now.
 
“I said hi to Dylan while walking to my seat and he responded with a smile” Layla grinned.
“Really?”
Layla nodded, not able to keep the grin off her face.
“Good for you” Dan smiled.

“You guys have been giving me cold shoulders, what’s wrong?” Anne asked her friends as they sat to eat in the cafeteria.
They were not giving her silent treatment, they were talking to her like they would any normal day but she knew her friends so much and could tell when they were pissed at her.
 
“Yeah, we planned to tell you over lunch initially” Sarah said.
“Okay . . .” Anne dropped her fork.
“Your parents had a thanksgiving party and you didn’t deem us important enough to invite us” Jessie growled.
“Oh my God, guys” Anne sigh, now she get why they were giving her cold shoulders, they must have felt so offended.
Kate started eating her lunch, looking as pissed as others.
“Guys, im so sorry. I didn’t mean it that way but you guys houses are so far, I will be stressing you if I should invite you over”
“What type of stress do you mean? Don’t we all have cars and personal drivers?” Sarah asked.
“Exactly” Kate said with a mouth full.
Jessie rolled her eyes, she was more pained than Kate and Sarah, she had even been the one to point it out to them.
Seeing the pictures on Dan’s Instagram account with Layla present had made her almost sick and it looks like the party was fun, considering the way they were all smiling in the pictures.
 
“I don’t even know how to explain myself but you guys houses are so far and to be very honest, I just didn’t want to stress you, knowing the next day was a school day made me throw the thought of inviting you. I’m so sorry” Anne said and they could all see she felt really sorry.
“But you should have invited us still and leave it to us to decide if to attend or not” Kate said.
“I’m sorry” Anne said.
“It’s fine, we thought we weren’t important enough to be invited” Sarah said.
“No, you all are important to me and you know it. But you guys have never been pissed at me for not inviting you to any of my party, what’s going on?” Anne asked.
“We saw the pictures Dan posted and it looked like this particular party was fun” Jessie said and Anne laughed.
“Yeah, it was.” Anne smiled, feeling bad she hadn’t invited her friends.
“And you even invited Layla ” Jess said resentfully.
“I didn’t invite Layla, Dan did and even if he hadn’t , I would have. Layla’s house is not so far from ours”
“Whatever” Jess scoffed.
 
“And we know we’ve never complained about you not inviting us to your parties, that was because we didn’t see it as an issue then but now it has become one” Kate said, crunching her fries and Anne realized her pasta was getting warm.
” After all, we always invite you over for parties at our houses without even thinking about how far your house is or how it’s gonna stress you. So you also need to dismiss that thought and start inviting us over for parties” Jess said.
 
“Okay then, i’m going to start inviting you guys over for every party my family will be hosting and . . . my birthday is in a month’s time, i’ll be hosting a glamorous party, I don’t care how far your houses are, you must attend!” Anne said.
“Yaaaaay” Her friends squealed, drawing attention to their table but they didn’t even seem to care.
“That’s how it should be girl!” Kate said, her palm meeting with Anne’s for a high five.
“Way to go Anne, now eat up, your pasta will get cold” Sarah said.
“Thanks for forgiving me guys” Anne smiled and started eating.
“And .. ” Kate paused, her cheeks heating up. “Those other guys in the pictures are Dan’s friend right?”
“Of course” Anne said.
“How could Dan be so selfish, he’s hot and even kept hot friends” Kate said and Anne laughed out loud.
“Kate! Just go to the point, you like one of them?” Anne teased.
“No, three of them” Kate said and they exclaimed before bursting into laughter.
 
“I like one of them though” Sarah said when they stopped laughing, they all turned to her, surprised.
Sarah is the least person they expected to hear that from, she has never felt attracted to any guy and Jessie had even teased her about it and she had indeed confirmed that she’s yet to like anyone but now she likes someone and it’s one of Dan’s friends.
 
Wow.
 
Anne dropped her fork once more. “Who among them?”
Sarah brought out her phone from her pocket and looked around to make sure no teacher was in sight before handing it to Anne. “That one in the middle”
Kate and Jess eagerly peered into the picture, smiling.
“Wow” Kate grinned.
“I’m so glad you finally like someone, a hottie at that” Jessie smiled.
 
“That’s Felix” Anne smiled, handing Sarah’s phone back to her, she couldn’t tell why she was secretly relieved it wasn’t Elvis.
“His name is Felix?” Sarah asked, pushing her phone back in her pocket.
“Yeah, and I must say he’s a cool guy” Anne said, eating a forkful of her pasta.
“Does he . . have someone, like .. a girl?” Sarah asked and it felt like her heart was stuck in her throat as she waited for Anne’s answer.
She has never felt this way towards someone, she had never even liked a guy but seeing Felix’s picture . . gave her heart a new feeling.
She couldn’t quite place it but she knows she likes him.
 
“Why do you look like you’re going to collapse if I say he has a girlfriend” Anne chuckled.
“Just talk already, Sarah’s looking like her heart is in her throat” Kate said.
“Yeah, Sarah keep it that way, the best place your heart should be right now is your throat. So you will get to vomit whatever feeling you have for Felix if he has a girlfriend and if he doesn’t, you swallow it back” Jess said and they laughed.
“It’s not funny though” Sarah roll her eyes.
“Well .. I cant say if he has a girlfriend or not, he has never mentioned it. I’m going to ask Fel” Anne said.
“Why not Dan?” Jess asked.
“Dan is going to have my head” Anne laughed.
“Really?”
“Yeah, he’s so against such” Anne said.
“Because he feels we’re still young?” Kate asked.
“Yeah and some other reasons best known to him” Anne said, gulping water, she’s almost done with her pasta.
 
“What if he doesn’t have a girlfriend” Jess said and Sarah smiled.
“And what if he does” Kate said and Sarah’s smile fell.
“Well, till I’ve confirmed from Fel” Anne said.
Sarah sigh deeply. “Mehn”
 
They laughed.

“It was so fun, I had a great time” Layla smiled, giving Aria the details of the party.
They were resting after serving the last customers, but they were still on their feet knowing another person might walk in.
“I knew you would” Aria smiled, listening raptly.
“You wont believe Phil applied a light make up on my face and even styled my hair” Layla grinned.
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah, I was looking so dolled up, so many people complimented my looks” Layla smiled.
“OMG, I wish I saw how dolled up you were” Aria said.
“I took some pictures on Dan’s phone, you’re going to see them when he comes around”
“I cant wait” Aria smiled. She really wanted to see how Layla had looked.
 
“But Phil is really changing, isn’t she?” Aria asked.
“Maybe” Layla shrugged.
 
“Their parents were so nice to me and Dan’s other friends too, I’ve never felt so special in a long time” Layla said.
“We danced, talked, laughed, played games. The fact that i’m an African seems very intriguing to them and I was glad to answer their questions” Layla laughed, remembering how they had tried pronouncing her African name.
“Wow, i’m so happy for you Layla, you’re finally experiencing how fun the world can be” Aria said, glad Layla is finally getting the joy she’s been denied for long.
“Yeah, i’m glad too” Layla smiled sadly.
 
“The party was great, I had so much fun” She smiled.
 
“I’ve never seen a pair more talkative than you both” Philia said, glaring as she walked up to them.
“It seems she hasn’t changed after all” Aria said to Layla’s hearing and Layla stopped herself from laughing.
“You both talk nonstop! to the extent your l-ips seems to be getting bigger. Well, talk all you want but stop SPILLING YOUR FOUL SALIVA OVER PEOPLE’S COFFEE!!!” Phil scre-med and a little boy who had walked into the coffee shop with his mum, ran out wailing, terrified at Phil’s scre-m.
 
His mum ran out after him, shouting his name.
