My mind as a teenager
episode 23
We walked out of the libr@ry and I led her to
the lab building which was a different
building. We got to the biology lab and sat
down. The lab was open to all s£nior
students during school hours.
Me: Reg,where did you hear that ru-bbish
from?
Reg: Nne,calm down. I heard it from Judith.
Me: Judith? How can Judith say something
like that?
Reg: I asked her where she heard it from and
she said that Chinenye was the one who
claimed to have seen you and Lawrence
together.
Me: Where?
Reg: Behind the canteen.
I won’t lie. I felt relieved. If she had said the
waec hall,I would have cooled down
immediately but thank God,she wasn’t even
sure of what she was saying. Chinenye
always had an eye on Law. She wanted him
and she doesn’t even hide it.
Me: I nee-d to teach that girl a lesson.
How can she be saying such unholy things?
Reg: But everyone is saying that you two are
up to something.
Me: Law is my b©yfri£ndbut we’re not yet
official. I told you nah. We just do things
together and that’s all.
Reg: Okay. But don’t approach Chinenye
plea-se.
Me: I must. She nee-ds to mind her mouth
and the ru-bbish that comes out from it.
Reg: Nne,she doesn’t count joor.
Nob©dy will say that he or she haven’t
noticed the clos£ness between between you
and Law. Nenye is jealous and that’s the
better explanation to her baseless gossips.
Just let it be,or better still, tell Law.
Me: That’s what I’ll do. Thank you.
Reg: Ahn ahn. What are friends for?
plea-se let’s go back to the clas-s block.
We went back to the libr@ry. I went into de-ep
thoughts. Good Lord knows that I was afraid
that the news may get to the principal.
We nee-d to thre-ad cautiously. I excused
myself and went in search of Lawrence but I
didn’t see him around. Even at the as-sembly
during dismissal prayers,he wasn’t there. It
was later during night prep that I saw him..
I don’t know what took me to that staircase
that led to the waec hall. And there he
was,with Chinenye, they were k!ss!ngand his
hand was inside her go-wn.
