DREAM GIRL
OUR CRAZY LOVE STORY
BY : TUNRAYO AYERIN
CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
🦋OUR FIRST UNOFFICIAL DATE 🦋
🖤Keith 🖤
I got home with my mind swirling with different thoughts, all my actions in the past few days have been so unlike me.
I had felt this inexplicable rage when Viktor told me he is dating Erica that I couldn’t stop punching his smug arrogant face.
But do I really stand a chance?
Viktor is the most popular guy in school, the one that all the girls would die to have and I can already see that look of total adoration in Erica’s face anytime she looks at him.
I met the house empty, probably mom went out with my little brother, there isn’t any lunch in the kitchen
This is so unlike mom!
I cooked some noodles and settled down to eat it when someone knocks on the door.
” yes who is that? ”
” it’s Miss Theresa ”
A female voice replies
I open the door to find my little brother and his class teacher, Daniel’s uniform is nothing to write home about, so dirty, he hangs his lunch bag on his forehead in a kind of fashion and I can’t help chuckling
” oh my God! Didn’t my mom come to pick him up ”
” no! And this is not the first time it’s happening, please take care of her ”
She left before I can correct her that she was supposed to say ‘him’
” Ahh I’m hungry ”
Daniel said, the next thing I knew he ran into the house and carries my plate of noodles, stuffing mouthfuls of it into his mouth
I should probably forget about that noodles, I place a cup of water beside him and make sure he doesn’t choke
When he finished eating, I took off his school uniform and was about to throw it in the laundry basket when I noticed the uniform he wore the previous day still unwashed.
But mom always washes his uniform everyday.
I dropped it there and made a mental note to remind her about it.
I just can’t believe how she is so obsessed with work
I hear a knock on the door and I went out to see who it is
I saw mom and one of the neighbors holding her hand, mom’s dress is nothing to write home about, she is putting on a long sleeved lace blouse on a blue jean trouser
Oh no! Why did mom go out looking like that!!
” Keith, I saw your mom in the market, she was wandering aimlessly and when I talked to her, she told me that she can’t find her way back home that’s why I brought her home… ( she squeezes my arm a little) next time I may not be there,
Keith I’m sorry to say this but your mom …is dy.in..
No!!!!!
I don’t want to believe it
But it’s true, I began to remember all her actions recently, her constant talks about dead people, her forgetfulness and now I notice the shadows under her eyes, her pale skin
And I know that truly my mom… is.. dying
” please take care of her Keith, she mustn’t go out of the house so she doesn’t get lost, take care of her and take care of your brother ”
Our neighbor said before leaving
” mom!
She was staring right at me but her eyes has this far away look, this strange aura and the words killed any hope that I might have had
She touched my face gently, her fingers circling the swell under my eyes that I sustained from fighting with Viktor
” Adam! Why do you keep doing this to yourself ”
Adam is my father’s name and that’s what mom says everytime he comes back home reeking with alcohol.
💛Sasha 💛
Wake up sleepy head!
Wake up wake up !
Get your sleepy ass to school!
Cara sings at the top of her lungs and I try to block my ears with the pillows
” sis you look terrible!!! ”
Indeed I look terrible, I concluded as I look at my reflection in the mirror, my puffy eyes from too much crying yesterday, I’m not really the crying type( except when I want to scheme,) but
seeing Keith fighting over Erica had only triggered the stupid tears.
There were huge blisters on my arms and it hurts anytime I twitch my fingers, no matter how hærd I clear the grass, it doesn’t show any signs of clearing and I know it’s probably the handwork of that Indian witch.
I don’t really have friends in the school, who needs friends anyway! But during the few days that I, Erica and Shanaya had been together, I had felt like I was part of something and I realize that that thing is a team.
We were a team!
Until I destroyed everything because of my love for Keith Merrick
” Mom and dad aren’t gonna come back today, you know right?”
Cara said
That only encouraged me to enter into the duvet, I am not going to school today.
I’m sick and tired of clearing the grass and I don’t want that crazy girl to kill me
💚 Erica 💚
” so, Nancy, which one did you think I should date among the two of them”
I said to my best friend, I slept over it last night, tossing and turning restlessly in my sleep but I’m still as clueless as I was yesterday.
I decided to esc-rt Nancy to school and I explained everything to her, knowing Nancy very well, I already have an idea of what she would say, I can’t really tell Tori about it since she has this huge massive crush on Viktor, and Shanaya! ❌
” Nancy! Answer me na! Or I’m just wasting my spit since morning ”
” I just want you to say everything that is in your foolish head before replying you (she claps her hands to demonstrate her annoyance,) all those rich kids, , all of them are unfortunate, they are only fooling you ni, let me tell you something, a rich guy would always like to date a rich girl, even the Bible said it that the rich hath many friends while the poor is despised by his very own brother..
” you know what, I never should have even asked for your advice….
I cut in angrily,
Nancy has always been like that, always condemning people simply because they are rich, I was about to march away angrily when a young fair lady stops me
” hey! I’m sorry for intruding but I overheard everything you and your friend said ”
The fair lady said
🙄🙄🙄🙄
It’s too early for Gossip MA !
At least let it be afternoon!!
I said inwardly
” okay so?
” I just wanted to give you a bit of advice,
you said you have a week to make up your mind right ”
” yeah ” I said warily
” so what do you intend to do within that time, how do you determine the one you’re going to choose since you claim you like the two of them, are you going to sit down and be waiting for the Holy Spirit to choose for you ”
” I don’t know, I guess it would have been easier if one of them is a bad guy, I guess ”
” I hope you don’t mind if I say this but I think you should get to know the two of them better, probably go on dates with them to know the one that you’re more comfortable with, it’s absolutely normal to love two guys, you just have to choose the one you love the most, all you have to do Is follow your heart, think of the two guys as a test, think of this week as a deadline, you can keep a diary like I do, it helps me put my emotions into words and after everything you’ll be surprised to find the answer staring right in front of you ”
I stared at her dumbfounded, I haven’t really seen this face in our neighborhood
” I’m Slyvia and I just moved into this area ( she points at a house with a gigantic black gate) that’s where I stay, you can check up on me anytime, and about the stuff I said, you don’t have to follow it, it’s just an advice ”
She said and before I could form a statement, she had disappeared like the wind.
Perfect!
So a total stranger appears from nowhere to give me a relationsh¡p advice!!
” as much as it hurts to say this, I think she is probably right ”
Nancy said and leaves me standing there as she heads to school
I think her advice seemed good enough
But how am I going to go on a date with Viktor and Keith without one of them killing the other
But even after everything, it’s still up to me to make a choice
Why can’t there be something like an handwriting in the sky where the person I’ll choose name will miraculously appear on it
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
I didn’t see Keith at school today and I can’t help being worried about him, I can’t shake off the feeling that something bad has happened.
I’m just getting delusional I guess
Even though I’d hate to admit it, I can’t help being worried about that mean girl with brown hair when I didn’t see her in school today
I’m not worried about her joh
I only miss seeing her pathetic ass clearing up the field immediately I walk into the school
” Erica promise me you won’t date him ”
Tori said and I’m surprised at the amount of vulnerability that her eyes portrayed
Her lower lip wobbled slightly, I’ve noticed she does that when she’s extremely sad
Oh God!
Why must Tori complicate things further
” I’m sorry Tori but I can’t promise anything
Her face fell and I try to cheer her up
” hey! It’s not like I’ve chosen anyone yet, I’ve still got the wh0le of this week to make up my mind ”
” but just so you know, it would really hurt if you date him, it would really hurt to see the two of you together”
As if someone else isn’t hurting just by seeing me with Keith.
I went in search of Viktor and I find him with his two friends
” hey Vikky, I’ll like to speak with you, —– in private!!
I added when he wasn’t making any attempt to leave
We went to one of the unused classes in the school, we dusted the chairs and sat down
” so what did you want to tell me, you’ve made up your mind and you’ve realized that dating that sore ass loser isn’t worth it right ”
He said with a smirk
” nothing like that and for the record Keith isn’t a sore ass loser, I don’t just want to sit down and indulge in hopeless thinking, I figured out I should probably go on dates with the two of you, get to know you better before I make up my mind ”
Am I imagining it or did I just see him sulk!
” why are you being such a sulky baby, hun Vikky!! ”
I taunted him
” boys don’t sulk, they brood, always try to remember that, and please the name is Vik, but don’t you know you’ll be hurting me if you go on a date with the two of us, I have feelings too, how would you feel if someone dates you for a few days and suddenly dumps you ”
” I would feel that we aren’t meant to be together I guess ”
” liar liar! p-nts on fire!! ”
” whatever ”
I rolled my eyes at him
” okay let’s go on a date then, meet me at the restaurant immediately after the closing but just so you know that sore ass loser isn’t worth you ”
” would you stop calling him a sore ass loser!!! ”
I said before flinging a near by object at him
Gosh! Why does he keep getting on my nerves
If not for the fact that he is my hero, I would have given him a slap.
💜 Viktor 💜
It would be so hærd for her to resist my charms, very very hærd,
We walked into EATMORE
the girls were giving me sad bunny eyes
😥 oppa, why are you hanging out with this girl
😑oppa you don’t deserve to be seen with her
😣 oppa why are you hurting my feelings
Sorry girls but your oppa has a mission
I wrap my arms around her protectively when the girls tried to get close to her and she snuggles against my chest but the angry glare in her face makes me aware that she is damn pissed
” I hate the way those girls behave, I think that’s why I’ve probably never dated any of them, they just take hero worsh¡p to another different level
She hissed
” they’re just lucky we’re in a restaurant or I would have made them eat up thier words ”
” they aren’t worth your stress sweetheart ”
I said to pacify her
I wouldn’t want her to cause a scene here and I don’t want the news that I’m hanging out with a pauper to spread further than it has already spread
I make sure we booked the table at the farthest edge
” this is my favorite s₱0t here, I love to look out through the window and enjoy the amazing view of the beautiful flowers ”
She screwed up her face as if she didn’t even care
” it’s okay”
I signalled to the waiter and we made our order, I ordered fried rice and salad and she smiles
” I prefer jollof rice please ”
” alright miss ”
The waiter said as he went to prepare our order.
💚Erica 💚
It’s me and Vikky’s first unofficial date
If such a thing actually exists
I can’t believe in back in this restaurant, and the minute I entered, unpleasant memories came flooding back
Some stupid girls had tried to ruin my mood but Viktor didn’t allow them.
He is a real gentleman, I notice the way he pulls out the chair for me
I’m not really a salad fan and after taking a look at the menu, I opted for jollof rice
The waiter returns with our order and I remove the useless forks on top of it.
” so, tell me about you ”
” I’m Viktor Peterson, an ss2 science student of STATE HIGH SCHOOL ”
” like I don’t already know ”
I said while smiling
” Huh, my parents are the sole owners of the PETE Hospital, it’s almost as famous as Luth, and I have an elder brother Jason and when you’re talking about young talented scientists then you’re talking about Jason ”
” I mean you! I want to know about you, I want to know what most people don’t know about you”
” uh I happen to like William Shakespeare, in fact I’ve read more than ten of his books ”
” Nah I don’t believe you, it doesn’t suit your personality ”
” I’ve read Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, hamlet, king leir, much ado about nothing, twelfth night…..
Wow!
My date with Viktor was so much fun than I expected, I ended up knowing so much about him, I found out that he is a very talented artist and when he showed me the picture of a little girl he painted, it almost brought tears to my eyes, I couldn’t understand how a painting could
reflect the sufferings of a little girl but that’s exactly what it did, and in all my years of seeing paintings I’ve never seen one that was so inspirational like Viktor’s
” babe! It’s just a painting ”
He said and he wiped my tears with a tissue, dabbing slightly at the corners of my eyes
” yeah I know.. It just looks so real ”
” come on let’s go to the ARIA’S STORE, I need to get you something that you would always remember me with ”
As if I can ever forget my first date
Sorry! First unofficial date
We took a bike to ARIA’S STORE
It’s an ice-cream store, a confectionery store but mostly a toy store.
💜Viktor 💜
🤔🤔🤔🤔
What can this crazy girl like?
Most girls love flowers, all you have to do is get them a flower, spin a few lies and they’re already head over heels in love with you
But I have a feeling that if I give this girl flowers, she wouldn’t really treasure it?
Or I should get her a big teddy bear
She frowns at one girl clutching a teddy bear to her chest
So teddy bear is cancelled!!
Think Viktor! Think!!!
You don’t want her choosing that sore ass loser over you and have your plans ruined.
I s₱0t some fashionable necklace ahead and I breathe a sigh of relief
💚Erica 💚
This is my first time of coming to this place and it’s actually so big
Viktor gets us ice-cream and I find out that the two of us likes the vanilla flavor
I was eating my ice-cream when someone closes my eyes from the back
” guess who it is ”
The person said in a gruff voice and I just chuckle
Viktor’s cologne is so unique, even though I’m in a dark room with him, I’ll still recognize him
” stop playing games with me Vikky!!! ”
He loosens his hold on my face and grins at me while pulling my cheeks
I feel his touch against my neck
” do you like it? ”
He asks me and my eyes settles on a silver necklace on my neck
How the hell did he get that without my awareness
The necklace is lovely and most importantly it has my initials on it “E”
” I love it it’s perfect ”
” I’m glad you do ”
He said and I’m surprised that it really matters to him if I like it or not
He takes me to the junction of my house no matter how much I protested against it
And as he was about to leave, he cupped my cheeks and pressed a w-t k-ss on my l-ips, I didn’t want him to break the k-ss, nibbling gently on my lower lip and leaving me in a breathless daze
” that’s just one more thing to think about ”
He said before leaving
I even forgot that I’m in a junction and my street people has already turned me to their television
But how can I think when Viktor has made me senseless with just a k-ss
💢💢💢💢💢
Hmm
If I talk now, they will say I’m supporting Viktor Peterson 😑
