That was how I continued, I continued to love veronica though I knew she had someone else. I didn’t also stop giving her my assignments, I thought that would make her love me but my thinking were just like that of an immature guy. Victedo and Matt continued to advise me on what to do and what not to do but I never listened to them.
” Gabriel, have you ever thought of what would happen if you refuse to give Veronica your assignment just for a day?” Matt asked me one fateful evening, ” I don’t want it to happen” I told him. ” sometimes, you make me want to believe this girl is controlling you from her village” Victedo said from the kitchen, ” Why?” I asked, ” You just want to do everything to please her, you fear what she might do if you offend her” he said, he was right. ” To me, I think her reaction towards you when she is angry will tell if she loves you or not” Victedo continued. ” Just try this, the next time she asks you for your assignment, try tell her you are not giving her and let’s see what happens” Matt said, ” Don’t tell her you haven’t done it o, just tell her you can’t give her” Victedo added. ” Guys, I know this girl doesn’t love me, I only want to make the love grow In her, love as they say is patient” I told them, ” There is a way a girl who wish to love you in future will behave compared to the girl who has no atom of love for you at all” Matt said, ” Just try tell her no for the first time, and let’s be there when you do that” Matt concluded while I nodded. Their advise was good and worth doing but I got a problem, I was scared of loosing her before having her.
The next time we were given another tough assignment was about two days later, I have thought about what Matt and Victedo told me and I have decided to do as they instructed. I have also been thinking about many other things, why will she only call me whenever she needs to do her assignment? She never calls to greet or gist, just to ask for assignment.
About 6:00pm of that particular day, she called. Matt and Victedo were with me in the room and thought they didn’t say a thing, I knew they were paying attention to what I will tell Veronica. ” Hello Vero” I greeted, ” Gabi dear, how far?” She asked, ” Am fine thank God” I answered. ” Have you done the assignment? ” she asked me, ” Yeah, I have done it” I said , I was now sweating. ” I trust you now, please let’s meet at our normal s₱0t tomorrow” She said and made to put an end to the call, ” I can’t come” I quickly put in before she ended the call, ” What did you say?” She asked, she probably didn’t hear me well. ” I said I can’t come to basement tomorrow ” I told her, this time I was bold. I could see Victedo giving me a thumb up, Matt had his physics textbook to his face. ” Why can’t you come, any problem?” She asked, ” No, there is nothing wrong, I don’t just feel like giving you my assignments again, I think you should learn to do things yourself” I said, ” See this Mumu o” was what she said next, I was taken a bit aback by shock. ” Just because I am helping you by copying your assignment,you now think you can insult me bah? ” She asked , I was quiet not knowing what to say. ” I don’t blame you” She fired on, ” Aunty do and get off the phone jare” Matt shouted from where he was sitting, thank God I got someone to talk for me. ” Who is that?” Veronica asked, ” Wholala, the brother of tatala” Victedo answered, I could not help but laugh. ” Abeg get off the phone jare, at your age you are still copying assignment from your mate, and your parent will be at home thinking their daughter is struggling to become somebody in life, nonsense ” Matt added, ” Let her be there deceiving herself ” Victedo added, ” Is it me they are talking to like that? ” Veronica stammered, ” No ooo. It’s that aunty beside you” I said laughing, ” I regret ever knowing you” She said, ” Get out my friend” Matt shouted and I put an end to the call. ” Thank you guys” I said as I dropped the call, ” Don’t mention, don’t mention” Victedo said, ” That’s what you should have done to her all this while” Matt said, ” The girl just want to use you and get first class o” Victedo said, ” Don’t mind her” I said and kept quiet, I was thinking about Veronica, we were to harsh on the poor girl.
Veronica didn’t talk to me again for weeks, as a matter of fact, she now has another guy she sticks with . I was jealous at first but as time went on, I began to forget everything and moved on with my normal and simple life hoping that God will give me a good girl at the right time . The love I got for Veronica soon faded off and I started to consider her as a non living been, I wasn’t bothered about her again and we never spoke again until one day.
On this particular day, I had come early to school so as to summit my chemistry practical assignment. I saw Veronica some blocks from where I was, she was with her workbook looking for who to copy from as usual, unluckily for her, the new fool she copies from was not around. I removed my gaze from her and opened my manual to go through it in case of any mistake. ” Gabriel” I heard someone call from behind after about ten minutes, I didn’t need to turn to know it was Veronica, ” Yes what is it?” I asked as I turned slowly to face her, shockingly, she wasn’t alone this time, she was with another girl, a very beautiful average height girl, I recognized her immediately as the girl I had showed Victedo, the one that lives in my street. ” What is it?” I asked veronica again ignoring the girl, Veronica couldn’t say anything, she was obviously ashamed of herself. ” Please, we want you to help us with our assignment ” The girl said taking my book.
