(HE IS TOO SHY)

EPISODE 10
.
.
I quickly made a 180 degree turn with my eyes as I minded what the teacher was busy doing on the marker board, as I never bothered looking at her again, though the corner of my eyes would sometimes peer across, not for any other thing but for this innate curiosity that had me overwhelmed.
.
It wasn’t long before the literature teacher rounded off as the alarm for the next period, as everything still looked dicey to me.
.
Immediately the teacher left, I bent down my head on the desk, since I knew no one, what can I do?
if it was my former school, i would have already been out of my desk immediately the teacher was off to look for one or two troubles and I might end up getting chased around the classroom or few unlucky times I would get a serious warning from I provoked. , that’s me for you, but I’m new here, Shey I suppose be humble na. I was waiting for Ken to come over because I knew he definitely would come.
.
So i was bent over when I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked up and true to my assumption on it was Ken.
.
“This one you look like you are being maltreated, guy strengthen up and have fun oooo!!”
Ken told me as I had adjusted for him to sit down, since my desk could comfortably contain two persons.
.
“Guy na small, small it’s with time. so how far you and the girl, you don reason her matter?”
I asked him.
.
“Nooo!! it would be after school for the day, she normally takes time in class everyday so I would use that ample opportunity to ask her out, when both of us has our privacy, so it would sink in more.”
He said simply and I couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
.
ĺBut who is the girl in question?”
I asked him as my eyes roamed the class
.
don’t call me a wizard oooooh!! but in my heart of hearts, I really don’t want whoever the girl would be to accept him, because of our two weeks bet to do all the wh0le household chores and even wash his clothes join put Mbanu! (no na!) and plus this his Corky attitude, I want his ego to fall low.
.
Ken was about answering my question, when a guy stood up in front of the class and said.
.
“Hey! guys today is Rosemary’s birthday and she would be celebrating it in her house tonight, it’s an all night party.”.
.
He gave out the information, as shrieking and scre-ming sounds filled the class as the girls scre-med and the boys howled in happiness, as it was obvious almost if not all are rocking the party.
.
Ken on his own gave a thumbs up as he cheered too.
.
“Are you attending?”
I asked him.
he looked at me as If I fell from mercury.
.
“Why not? if not? hell yes I’m attending and you should get ready too.”
He said and I didn’t reply him as I only nodded in reply.
.
A guy walked up to us smiling and upon arriving said.
.
“Welcome bro, to Ss2c where everybody is somebody.”
.
He said smiling broadly and I reciprocated the smile.
.
“Ken you know him before now?”.
The guy asked Ken.
.
“Haaaaha! Ebus, na that my werey cousin I told you about, that would join us.”.
Ken said as I quickly connoted that his name was Ebuka .
.
“I’m Ebuka.”
He said extending his hand that I grabbed.
.
“I’m Stanley, Stan for short.”
.
I said and that was how I made my first friend in school, so we three chatted as we laughed about necessities and all, and that attracted the attention of the class to us and that was kinda what I needed.
.
The day went by with the speed of light as I really learnt a lot, their teaching method was superb and the teaching environment was conducive, and the ever active air conditioner, unlike the wild and charged up atmosphere in my former school, where immediately the sun starts it’s showdown the zincs that were in lack of ceilings would ooze out heat to its zenith, making the wh0le stuff in one’s brain evaporated.
.
Before you know it, it was Already school over, as I just picked up my school bag and went outside the classroom, as I couldn’t find Ken.
.
I was in the company of Ebuka, as we were out of class and heading down the staircase, when I heard someone call me and Ebuka, we turned and it was Ken.
.
“Make una wait for me na. I have someone to meet up with.”
Ken said.
.
I Already understood as I stood transfixed, while Ebuka shook his head in the negative.
.
“My driver is Already waiting to pick me up and I can’t keep him waiting.”
He said in a pleading tone and Ken nodded as he understood.
.
Ken bid us farewell as he rushed down the stairs as I could hear him answer a call, telling the driver that he was on his way.
.
“Guy come and watch me perform.”
.
He said as dragged me up, back to our class.
