(High school love)
Episode 26
By Humble Smith
Rose’s POV
I lay on my bed all day afraid to come out and see Adrian, I don’t want to see him and now my greatest wish is to leave this house and stay far away from him…
I really love him but he doesn’t love me, I left him because I was confused, I was uncertain on who I truly love, it would have been a little hard for me to leave him if he hadn’t said those word to his father, I felt really hurt when I heard him say that to his father, it was one of the reason I never hesitate to give Shawn a second chance not knowing that he was out to shatter me…
I had lose Adrian all because he came back..it would take me some days to move on but right now, I feel pained that he left me so easily, he should have waited a little longer before having another lady into his life…
A deep sigh escaped my lips as I recalled what I did when he sent a message to me not to go with Shawn to his house…
I could remember saying he should stop stalking around and face his new girlfriend..
It was night and I couldn’t sleep, how could my life turn into a mess in a twinkle of an eye…
I wish I can turn back the hand of the clock so I would take some decisions which I didn’t take…
I took a deep breath before lying back on the bed tiredly gazing up the ceiling..
********
My alarm blared loudly jerking me off my stupid dream, I can’t believe I was dreaming of Adrian return…
I yawned and got off from the bed and shuffled to the bathroom to clean up,
I would be going to school today and try all my best not to get affected by Adrian being with that girl…
After some minute, I was done and was looking really good in my uniform just that I looked a little bit thinner…
I smiled to myself even when there was nothing to smile about..
I can’t believe that Adrian didn’t even care to know how I was faring, after all those words to him, he wasn’t moved to at least forgive me…
Is this how hurt he is??
Does he hate me this much???
I sighed as I wagged my head to shake off the thought…
I don’t need to be thinking about him or what he does…he is no longer my boyfriend.
I picked my back bag before heading out of the room, I opened the door and stepped out with my eyes falling on Adrian who was also stepping out.
His face was void of emotion and I can’t tell what he is thinking as he saw me..I swallowed the lump in my throat as I turned to lock my door..
“You have decided going to school today??” He said dryly and I gave him no reply as I head out acting like no one talked…
“Would you ride with me?” He said but I still didn’t reply..
All his words kept hurting me..It makes me look pathetic..
I got outside and took out my phone to call a private taxi when something struck my mind..
I need to call my dad..
I quickly dialed his number..
“Hello dad!” I smiled as he showered praise on me..
“Dad please listen!” I said sternly..
“Ugh??..any problem?” He asked
“A lot of them!” I stated
“Name it all and I’d solve it all for my princess..” He said with determination in his voice..
“Dad I want to change apartment, please let me…..”
“Hey stop!!” He interjected immediately
“Tell me what happened!” He snapped
“I don’t like the house anymore, someone in there is freaking me out..Adrian is making me chill, I can’t stay with him anymore!!” I gruffed
“Why??..what did he do??..was he very arrogant to you??..but if that’s the case, I thought you could have called a very long time ago, its been a while you both lived without any complain..” He said and i sighed
“Dad I once love Adrian but…I hate him now!!!” I squealed with pain in my heart..
“Really???” I heard someone say from behind..
It was Adrian…
I ignored him and went on with the call without even glancing at him..
“Please don’t hate him, try to love him..he would change if you show him love..” My dad begged
I guess this man don’t understand what is happening..
“Dad I called so you would release a car for me, please…” I pleaded
“Why??..you and Adrian can drive on…”
“Stop calling that name here, stop saying Adrian..he is out of this discussion!” I snapped
“Are you serious when you said you now hate him??..but what did he really did, I can ask his parents to talk to him”
“Dad why are you bent on making me pissed off!!” I seethed
“Ugh??”
“Yes…release the car and stop talking a lot!!!” I blurted making him sigh deeply..
“You can ride a bike right?” He said
“Yes I can…so??”
“I’d be releasing a bike, I can’t have you riding a car when you can drive with Ad….”
“Don’t call that name old man!!” I growled
“This is really serious..what..”
“So when I’m I expecting it..” I asked
“Tomorrow…” He said and I squealed in joy
“I love you daddy!!”
“I love you my pretty daughter!!” He said with a cheerful voice making me smile..
I hung the call and turned to leave only to see Adrian standing behind me with his stare on my whole body..
My smiles vanished and I rolled my eyes and walked pass him..
“Hey we aren’t enemy are we??” He shouted
“I pray we become one” I muttered under my breath without looking back at him..
**********
I got to school and went straight to my seat without glancing at anyone..
“You ain’t in school yesterday why?” My cousin was the first to ask..
“I wasn’t feeling well” I snapped dryly..
“Really???”
“Yeah, but I’m feeling good now” I said with a forced smile..
“Rose..” He called
“Ugh??”
“I may not know you well but the little I know about you is that I know when something eats you up!..tell me what had been going on between you, shawn and Adrian??!” He questioned and I took a deep breath as he called those names which I don’t want to hear..
“Nothing more than the fact that I now hate both of them or should I say I no longer have anything to do with them..” I shrugged
“Really??”
“Yes…Shawn is a cheat and stupid punk, a Playboy and bastard!!..Adrian is already with another lady as you can see..” I smiled out tears
He held my palm and hugged me while I sobbed silently..
My sight fell on Adrian as he walked into the class, every ladies was still drooling and craving for him, he walked over to his seat with Sylvia…
I sighed deeply trying not to be hurt by the sight of them sitting closely talking with their faces filled with smiles…
My heart clutched as I saw Adrian fondle her cheek while she blushed..
“Adrian very soon…very soon, I won’t have any feeling for you, just give me some time and it would all erase” I said to myself hugging Alan closely to my body..
“Please can you do me a favour??” I said to Alan my cousin..
“Anything for you..” He replied..
“Let me live with you, I would keep hurting myself staying in that house” I breathed
“Rose I doubt if the two of you hates each other..”
“Stop..do you agree??”
“You can come over…I can’t say no to you dear” he smiled and I hugged him again..
Adrian’s POV
“I have something to tell you..” Sylvia said with her eyes dimmed..
“What is that??” I asked curiously
“I’ll tell you when it is break, please don’t hate me for that!” She sulked and my heart flipped
“Oh g©sh..my heart was beating very fast now..what could it be??”
“I’ll tell you…but just know.. I..” She bends her head down with a drop of tears falling off her eyes..
“Please you are hurting me with those tears, tell me so I can help you..” I muttered and she held my palm and squeezed it softly
“Don’t hate me after I say it to you, its just that, I can’t hide it forever!” She said and glanced at where Rose sat before turning to the board..
“But..can’t you..” A teacher walked in and I stopped talking and listened..
They had both changed me, I now listen to teachers unlike before when teachings are disturbance to me..
Different lessons went on and finally after what seemed like eternity to me, the school bell rang..
I glanced at Sylvia and she was really sad as she buried her face into her palm..
“Let’s go” I muttered and stretched out my palm..
She took it and we both head out..
Rose wasn’t even looking at us, she was even enjoying the company of her cousin and seatmate.
*********
“What?????????” I screamed as she said those words that struck my heart deeply..
“I’m sorry for saying it now..I had just loved you so much so I couldn’t tell you quickly..
” please tell me you are playing prank..please!! ” I breathed heavily..
“No…I’m serious..I’m married..” She repeated the word leaving me devastated..
I felt like the world was over, like seriously…
“It was an arranged marriage between the two families, he lives in California where he runs his father’s business.. I myself is here to finish my education before going back to him..” She explained leaving me drained
“Why did you not tell me..why??..” My voice cracked
“You have been the dream of every lady, I couldn’t tell you because I drool over you, that day you accepted me made my whole body shudder..I couldn’t ruin it all. ” she sulked
“So you are leaving soon??” I mumbled feeling pained
“I’m sorry…” She muttered
“For what??..for what!!!..you are also leaving as Rose also left???” I sighed painfully
She held my palm…
“From today, our relationship would stop so we don’t get too intimate, I would snub you if you tries coming to me, I don’t have to destroy my marriage..the only girl for you now is Rose…you can still make her yours..I’m really sorry..” She muffled and stood up
“Thanks for being my friend” she added and left just as Rose did when Shawn came..
What is all this???
I couldn’t even look up..
Sht!!!
I don’t know how long I sat there but all I know was that the school bell for closure was what brought me out of thought to reality…
Is she gone for real???
Ohhhh….
I stood up and head to the class..she was packing her books when I walked in..
“Hello Sylvia how about driving you home..” I smiled but got the most annoying snub..
She just walked past me like I wasn’t there..
Really??
I looked around and saw Rose staring at what happened..
Aiishh..what would she be thinking now???
I plopped down on the desk breathing heavily..
Rose packed her books and hung her bag around her back loosely as she head out of the class…
“You saw what happened right??” I said to her making her pause her pace..
“She has left me just like you left, do you know how heart broken I am now!!” I said and she turned to me with a sneer..
“Do I give a dmn??..we are both single now” she shrugged and left me there..
Oh gawd!!!
What is happening??
