😊 Eva’s pov 💐
I walked into the school relived, ah!! thank God the headache is gone alre-ady, I think it worked after I had breakfast this morning, although I wanted to skip but mum f0rç£d me to. but actually, I now see the importance and dangers of skipping breakfast, mum has told me countless times, but I now see the effect today which makes me fully believe. At least I can enjoy my day now
Now that am done signing in, I think I should go meet up with Anna, I just hope she’s not fed up with my attitude but I don’t think so, that’s why I thank God Anna is the patient type, I remember the time I and Natasha were close friends hmmmmmmm….. a single fight or argument may lead to us keeping malice for 1 week or more .
And also, I also nee-d to make things up with Tyler, cause also he would be fed up with me if am right. I think I can see him later, but firstly I nee-d to go meet Anna.
But seriously I don’t know what’s going on with me, normally, I ha-rd ly get affected by emotions, but now it seems to be weighing me down. oh God! I nee-d to be the real Eva.
As I said I was done signing in, so I nee-d to meet up with Anna, but first I noticed this kind of stain which seems to be dust on my palm. jeez!! how did it get there, I don’t know, I don’t think I held or t©uçh anything dusty so how could it had gotten there?
mtcheeew. whatever I just nee-d to wash it off.
Walking out of the restroom after I was done washing the stupid stain off, I saw Tyler afar of. our eyes locked but he quic-kly unlock, hmm quite weird cause usually if our eyes accidentally meets, I am usually the one who dismisses but today it’s just like he’s avoiding me or my looks
I stood on my track waiting for him to come to my direction so I could talk to him, he would come I know cause he normally takes hold of this kind of advantage to talk to me when am alone, so he would come cause am just shy to approach him, I pray he doesn’t decline me,
But surprisingly he by pas-sed me totally taking another route, oh God! so he is really avoiding me, jeez!! what have I done, I should have just accepted his apology the first time, and let our enmity end once and for all. And am so sure he saw me cause our eyes met, or maybe his eyes weren’t on me.
jeez!!, why do I even care, he can avoid me for all I care, at least if I don’t even settle things with him I won’t die , I can’t be wished down by emotions, I nee-d to be Eva, am not even supposed to apologise or anything, we can continue being enemies”… my subconsciousness snapped at me
I was alre-ady angry planning to just forget about it all, but another p@rt of me st©pped me, Eva you nee-d to make peace with him he is really sorry just go, another p@rt of me said
jeeez!! am I out of my mind, am talking to myself for Christ sake
I didn’t even know, when I picked up paced walking quic-kly to him
“Tyler” I called out when I was almost close to him, he st©pped and I also st©pped.
he looked back at me surprised I guessed, I walked close to him, closing the large gap between us
“Tyler” I called again
“uhum…. hi Eva” he said
“hi, uhummm.. well, i.. I. I just wanna say am sorry for my crazy attitude towards you, am sure you would be fed up alre-ady, and also, I want to say I’ve accepted all your apologies, youmight want to be avoiding me because you know you’ve tried your best in apologise, I don’t keep any grudge against you, thanks Tyler” I said preparing to walk away
“no Eva, am not avoiding you as you may think, I really appreciate you for accepting, you don’t Know how happy you’ve made me feel today” he said and I smiled at him
” look Eva, I know we didn’t start on a good note, but I want us this very moment to just forget and take it as we’ve not met before, and start it on a new page, Eva, I know we’ve gone throu-gh a lot today, right from the beginning
Eva, I know am imperfect and I promise I will try my possible best to be perfect because of you
I know you wouldn’t want to relate yourself with me, you think I might hurt your feelings or dump you, but no Eva, I would never do that to you
but can we start again now, can we be friends? ” he said with so much emotions surprising me de-eply
” Tyler I… ”
“no Eva I just nee-d your answer” he said cutting me in
” alright Tyler, we are friends now” I said smiling
“are you serious Eva” he asked happily
I nodded positively
“wow, you really made my day, does that means we are friends now?” he asked again
” yes Tyler I’ve said that before” I said smiling
” wow, thanks Eva” he said coming closer to me trying to hvg me, but he paused. why did he?
” can I?” he asked. oh!! he was seeking for permission
I nodded positively, and he immediately took hold of that advantage hvgging me ti-ghtly. I re-leased my hands hvgging him back. we we’re on that position for quite some time until someb©dy coughed out loud dismissing the awkward situation
we looked at the person and behold it was Dave , I know something told me it was him, always pestering someone, but I kinda thank God he c@m£, because it was alre-ady getting awkward and am also the shy type
“hey T, hey Eva” he greeted
“Dave what do you want , I thought you said you were off to somewhere before school lesson begins, so why you here again” Tyler asked kind of angry. Dave sm-irked at him speaking up
“hey, chill guy, am not here for you, though am sorry I interrupted you guys, but am just here for Eva”he said giving a mischievous smile
” so Eva have you seen Anna today” he asked
“no I haven’t, I just c@m£ not quite long ago” I replied him
” uhum that’s okay, you guys are really looking busy here, I think I should give you guys sometime, and Tyler I changed my mind am not going there anymore” Dave said
” alright Dave just leave” Tyler spoke up
” alright fine , am leaving,and Tyler I nee-d to be upd@t£d about what’s going on” he said wi-nking at Tyler walking away
jeez!! , Dave is really a pain in the head, common what’s bad in hvgging someone?
“alright Tyler bye for now, I wanna catch up with someone” I said
“alright Eva, thanks for ma-king my day” he said happily
I smiled at him and he smiled back
“bye” I said
“bye dear” he replied
I walked away from him not even knowing where am going to…oh Anna
Am just happy I made it up with Tyler today, like seriously I can’t really figure out where all those words were coming from,I never knew I could have that kind of boldness to face him and talk to him that way. am just so happy nothing can spoil my mood today not even the T.D teacher
Now where is this Anna. hmm …I nee-d to search for her , I haven’t seen her this morning and I guessed she would be looking for me that’s even if she’s in school
oh God! Anna….
chapter 35
.
🤦 Annabelle’s pov 🌼
Pitts!!, where can this Eva be for Christ sake, I have been searching for her since I c@m£ to school today, and again she ha-rd ly come late to school, she was even the one who taught me not to come late to school, so where could she be ?
still perambulating the school environment, I sighted Dave from afar, yeah!, I think this is a perfect time to thank him for yesterday help
But I actually forgot the little stress I un-dergo yesterday trecking that short distance.
When I met Raymond at home, the excitement was just too much. mum even forgot to ask me why I c@m£ home late yesterday which isn’t usual
The excitement in me is still burning at a high range now, nothing can destroy my mood today, not even Nelson boring behavior towards me
But I still have to return his wrist watch or band whichever
I walked straight to Dave and he welcomed me with that lovely smile as usual
“hi Dave” I greeted
“hey cutie” he replied
wow!!, did he just call me ??, awwwwn am blu-shing right now
“hey Anna, you know I can see you right, just don’t blus-h to much” he said and we both bur-st into laughter
“well Dave, I just wanna thank you for yesterday, you really saved my legs” I said smiling at him
” ohh, so you can thank me now, I thought you were refusing the ride at first” he said
” No Dave, like I told you yesterday, I was scared, and another thing my mum is really really secured about her girl child” I said
” hmm, no problem friend, I un-derstand you Clearly, but next time, always make sure you keep your money save in your bag, and if by mistake you misplaced your money, don’t try to treck again, just try locating me, if you can’t find me, you have my number you can flash me ok” he said ma-king me laugh
” really” I said
” yea of course, always at the rescue, bye for now, got something to do” he said preparing to walk away
” bye” I said and he walked away
ahhhh!!, thank God at least am done with Dave , now I nee-d to find Eva, cause something tells me she is in school alre-ady, and then I will think of a way to return Nelson’s watch to him, and it must be today, yeah it must
Turning back, loosing hope in finding Eva , I heard my name, thank God it sounds clearly like Eva’s voice , I looked carefully to locate the voice and it was truly Eva.
Wow !! she really looks and sounds excited, hmm, I wonder what would had happened.
we walked to each other until we met at the same sp©t, she didn’t even wait for me to talk before sp@ñking me ha-rd on my bu-tt
“goatie, where have you been?” she asked smiling crazily
“awwww, why did you do that?” I said ru-bbing the place she sp@ñked
” that’s for coming late” she said
“but I didn’t come late” I defended
” really so where were you” she asked mischievously
” at our usual place of course, before coming to look for you now, since I had been waiting for you” I replied her frowning my face
” ohh!! am sorry I was with someone, but plea-se don’t sp@ñk me back” she said quic-kly as I was about raising up my hands
“so where have you been” I asked
“just with Tyler” she said smiling
“wow!!, so gist me, what made you this smiley” I asked
” nothing Anna, let’s just leave that for another time” she said
“ptcheeew, who even cares” I said
” well I do” she said sm-irking at me pissing me up, her sm-irk is just so annoying
“whatever, clas-s is in the next five minutes, let’s go pick up our books” I said
” yes thats true” she said sarcastically
and I hissed out loud she laughed annoyingly, jeez! Eva being this happy is always a pain in the n£¢k 🤦
But Eva being this happy, makes me happy also, I just wish she can be this way for ever, and not that sad moody Eva.

💖 Dave’s pov 💕
Am in the cafeteria alone today since I didn’t invite Anna to come along today, she and Eva seemed busy, so I didn’t bother to disturb them
and Tyler also seems busy with one of his technical drawing projects, while Nelson has been acting weird and awkward since morning, I don’t no for him always acting awkward since his mum incident
And again, I don’t want to relate my self with all those girls
still thinking of why to order, a familiar face approached me,, but I can’t really figure out where I know her from but she really looks familiar
“hey Dave” she greeted
hmm, she even knows my name,where could I have known her from 🤔
“hi” I replied her
“well , you might not really remember me, but am Jenny, the newbie you helped that other day, and not that alone we’ve met in the club where I invited you for a dance and you left immediately we got to the dance floor, and also am a secret admirer” she introduced smiling
ohh!!, now I remember, I know I have met her three,four times or more, so she’s Jenny, wow nice…..
“oh I do remember you, so how have you been” I asked in order not to bore up the conversation
” well am fine, I just c@m£ to talk some things with you” she said
” okay, what could that be?” I asked
” well, I know you don’t relate with loud girls like me, but can I ask you a favour?” she said
hmmmmmmm….. what could she want to say
“yes, you are free” I replied her
“well I know it’s really awkward for a girl to say this, but seriously since I c@m£ to this not quite long ago, I have been meaning to tell you this, with our little contact together and the time I have met you, I really admire your kind, the way you act, and so on.
am not really asking for some kinda serious relationsh!p, so don’t think that way, I just want to be close to you, like just to be your friend, I know you don’t like relating with girls that much, so can you plea-se grant me that request?” she asked
wow!!, this is really confusing, though she isn’t the first girl offering this kind of request,but hers kinda t©uçhed me,am really confused on what to say now,and I don’t want to hurt her feelings,hmm, what should I say
“Alright Dave, I know you won’t want to answer me now, but I can give you sometime to think over it, plea-se remember Dave, am not asking for any external relationsh!por anything,I just want to be your friend” she said giving a hurtful smile standing up leaving
jeez!!, she seemed to be hurt by my silence, hmm, what reply should I give her,I know she seemed hurt by my silence
Though, other girls do this often, but her manner of approach seems alot different, jeez!! what should I say
