EPISODE 19

?? JENNIFER ??

I went to Valerie’s house, surprisingly she’s not there.

“She went to school all by herself? I asked again trying to confirm from Nanny Jade.

“All by herself”. Nanny repeated smiling .

She took the flour she was mixing as she poured them into little cans with the shape of star. She placed them gently into an oven .

“She has really grown wings”. Jeff added.

“Grown wings? Do you want wings to grow at her back again? Nanny said

I don’t actually understand what she meant by that.

“No..! And if it grew,maybe she’s a fairy or like Tinkerbell…since she’s brilliant”. He said again as we laughed.

“We’ll head to school Nanny, she must have a reason for that”. I said

“It’s all Jeff’s fault”. Nanny eyed Jeff.

“What do you mean it’s my fault? He raised his hand up in surrender.

“You’ll find that out when you get to school”. She headed back to the oven to check what she placed there.

“Nanny,is that cake? I said peeping behind her.

“It is cake and you’re not eating out of it, a contract was given to me so you’re just gonna smell and not taste…use the door”. She said

“But–”

“No buts young lady, move to school…”. She pointed towards the door.

I and Jeff dragged our feets towards the door.

“Young man, adjust your collar well”. She smacked Jeff’s head as we bade her good bye and left .

?AT SCHOOL ?

? ? VALERIE ? ?

Everyone kept staring at me in the bus,it was humiliating.

This stupid glass of a thing

I used my bag to cover my head thinking no one will see me.

Finally,we got to school. I could barely walk. I crouched all the way.

I hid from step to step as I made my way into the class. I nuddled as fast as I can then I bumped into someone.

Bammmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

“I’m sorry”. I said bowing my head.

I felt his broad chest smashing against my own head. His cool fragrance filled my nostrils.

I wanted to turn back and hug him tight but I can’t!

I’m not out of my mind,am I?

“Easy girl”. He said in his soft husky voice.

He held me straight up touching my shoulders as I stared into his cold but smiling face .

“Drake? His name rolled out of my tongue.

Then I remembered the flower he presented me on my birthday.

Awwwn! Such a sweet guy!

“Hi…I’m sorry”. I bowed again .

I did the fringe in front of my hair very well making it to cover my face.

He wanted to pass and I wanted to pass too. He passed where I wanna pass and vice versa till I hit him again this time I fell on the floor with my glasses on the floor too .

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on us .

“What’s wrong with them?

“Are they crushing on each other or what?

You know who they are?

The chatter box!!

“I’m sorry,are you okay? He stretched forth his hands forward to help me up .

I sI.apped his hand and got up myself. He took my glasses and whispered softly.

“I’m sorry Valerie”. He said so innocently.

I’m not mad at him , but for the fact that people are making jest of me I hate it

It hurts real bad.

Thank you! I muttered as I ran to class instantly cleaning my eyes .

Getting to class was a success. I breathed in and out as everyone stared at me.

AGAINNNNN…….!!!!!

“Isn’t she the new girl?

“She looks so odd”

“I heard she had a mini and boring party

“Really? I heard the four came to perform too. How cheap!

“She looks dumb , such a slot

Those chatter box again

Those words were piercing my heart so much. I gritted my teeth and buried my head in my desk for a while.

Until someone tapped me.

“Val… Valerie”. I heard the voice as I looked up.

It sounded like Jennifer.

“Ohh, Jennifer”. I hugged her tight from her waist as tears strolled down my cheeks.

“Are you okay? Do you wanna talk about it? She ran her hands through my hair still standing.

“Speak up dummy, what’s wrong with you”. Jeffery said in a girlish tone. He even popped chew gum into the air.

That id!ot!

How annoying !

Then I raised my head up and faced them.

“Oh my gosh”. They both exclaimed.

Jennifer removed her hand from my head as they both moved back .

“What? It’s not like it’s a disease or something? I adjusted my glasses and sniffled.

“How did it happen? She came to her sit as Jeff sat on my table.

“We still saw each other yesterday? Why? How…? Jeff asked

“Shut up ! I took my pen and pointed it at him

“Don’t force me to use this on you cold brain”. I said

“Why? Why are you using glasses Val? Fashion? Or what?

“This is all Jeff’s fault,what he said on my birthday came to pass, you’re happy now right?

I explained to them as they both stared at me.

“It’s great actually,as the first girl to use glasses in our class,you won yourself a golden medal”. Jeff teased me

“Shut it”. Jennifer smacked his head.

“Good morning class”. A lady entered our class wearing a skimpy black skirt and a white shirt.

“Morning ma”. We all stood up to greet her as some scampered to their seats

“Morning kids, as we all know that Valentine’s day is coming up …”

“Ohhhhwoooowo….!!”. The class echoed and made noise with their desks by htting it hard with their hands

“Silence!”. She ordered.

“You need to choose who your Val will be. Probably, you’ll come with a Val or you bring him or her from another school because we’ll be having a party that day and we’ll be giving presents”.

“Excuse me ma’am? A girl raised up her hand to ask a question

“Is it the school management that will provide the gifts we’re gonna give our Val?

“No,bring something for your Val. Something very special. A boy and a girl… remember? Have fun guys.. that’s the little announcement I have for y’all any further information will be passed across to you all”. She said and left the class.

“I’ll invite Jake over…the cute guy I showed you on my phone the other day,he asked me out for Val already and he’s coming… everything needs to special, I need to change my nails…oh my hair…my wardrobe…I need pink dress or maybe a skinny jeans…no a dress will do”.

Jennifer stated on and on and on.

I kept watching her.

I don’t know how Valentine’s day will be here in this school

I’ve never had a Val before and it seems somehow. I looked around the class.

No body seem to be my choice!

Or should I say,I want Harris but he can never ever go out with me.

Perhaps, we don’t talk and he’s even gonna go out with Autumn Dallas.

And the rest!

Well,I don’t know.

“What are you thinking about? Jenny said.

“Nothing”. I nodded negatively

“Nothing? Wait? You don’t have a Val…that means… you’ll be taking my brother to Valentine’s day city…oh my gosh”. She screamed hugging me tight.

“I just asked Grace to be my Val and she accepted”. Jeffery screamed into my ears.

“What?? I and Jennifer said.

Grace is from Grade 5 and she is one of the prettiest and smartest one in the class.

Jeffery just got lucky.

“How could you ask Grace to Val ? Jennifer screamed smacking her forehead.

“What? Why can’t I ask her to Val? He yelled back.

I watched them argue on and on.

“Valerie is here waiting for you to ask her- “.

“Stop! I dragged her hand

“Let me talk sense into his head,he doesn’t like Grace,he likes you…isn’t it too obvious he wants you to be jealous”.

“Jesus, Jennifer,give him a break.. please,I’m sorry Jeffery”. I adjusted my glasses and he went to his seat so speechless.

Obviously,he’s not surprised by his twin sister’s behavior.

I heard the clicking of camera and turned sideways.

“What are you doing? I tapped her arm.

“Isn’t it obvious I’m taking a cute and sad picture of me due to what my stupid brother did”. She replied and continued what she was doing.

I laughed so hard till I got hit by a paper.

It was rough , I looked back but couldn’t find anyone.

I took the paper and checked the note in it.

“Will you be my Val?

“Jennifer…Jenny,Jenny”. I tapped her furiously.

“What,stop disturbing…oh my gosh, where did that come from?

“Isn’t it obvious that it’s from an anonymous person? I said looking around.

I was even wondering; what’s with the “obvious” word the three of us just stated.

“Awwwwwwn,who do you think it would be then… Valentine’s day is 2 days to go babe”.

“I don’t know”. I said looking around again .

Everyone seems to be minding their businesses so who can that be.
