CHAPTER FOUR

When I found out why he had done that, it was too late. He was gone already and there was no one to vent my frustrations on.

 My life fucking sucks!

I was in the middle of banging my head against the wall when I suddenly heard a voice... another voice this time.

"I know what you might be feeling like right now. Like deputy-Jesus abi?"

I didn't need to open my eyes before I knew who it was.

 Kora.

"I really am not up for drama this morning Kora, go away," I said calmly in reply even though I was seething internally.

God knew how much I disliked the girl. If hate wasn't such a strong word,I would have applied it here.

 Or you  hate her because she's Timi's best friend. 

 God. What type of subconscious do I have?

When I zoned back into what Queen bee Kora was yapping about, she was already almost done talking.

"...it's better you stay away from him bitch, or you would regret it." Her claw-like index finger pointed accusingly at me before she whirled around and sashayed away, bumping into numerous classmates that were coming back from the canteen without so much as an apology.

I sighed in deep sadness. Not because of the bimbo that was trying to 'mark her territory' but because short break was over and I did t get to eat.

 I love food. Shoot Me.

The divine view of my food flask was even more glorious now. And there were piles and piles of all sorts of snacks on it.

 I'm weird. I know.

Beginning from the bottom layer of the multiple tiers of snacks, there was cake, then pizza, then beautifully arranged shawarma before going on to the colourful cupcakes and meatpies and egg rows and then...

 Oh God no!

Timi's lips stood on top of the snacks like a crown, mushing sexily in expectance for me to kiss it.

Now I needed to dip my entire soul into a lagoon of holy water. 

 Ugh!

The holy and the Ivy, when they are both full grown..." Someone needed to tell this woman her voice is bad.  I thought, as our music teacher continued singing. It was time for extracurricular activities and I was in music club. It got annoying each time she hit a note and felt like the best in the world.

 Grrrrrrrr!!! The  bell rang, signaling that school hours was over and I couldn't wait to get home. My bag was packed and I waited patiently in class for my mom. Mummy must have left food in the cooler for me. The joy I felt as I had those thoughts were incomparable. 

All you think about is food, food and food, it's no wonder you're fat. my subconscious chipped in and ruined my mood.

Well, no actually I'm not fat, I'm a little bit thick. I've got broad shoulders, nice toned legs and I'm 5'8. My breasts are big and lovely too. I sassed right back at her. 

Mom taught me to say those things since I was a kid and I felt better everytime.

I wonder what more would have left for me, Rice or....

"Temiloluwa...!!"  Timi call my name from afar. I've always known him to have a deep voice but this?  he had a beautiful voice.

"Yes, what is it?" I said as I tried to snap my self out of my daydream.

"Your punishment." He replied with that michevious glint his eyes. This boy is up to no good I know but I can't seem to pinpoint what he has planned for me.

"Okay! let's go to your punishment site." He looked at me like I was about to unleash on him but I followed him till we reached the back of the school without stress or sweat. 

"Um, Timi, what are we doing here?" I looked around for any punishment I could probably do in the environment he took me to.

"I just wanted to be alone with you."

"Well I don't want to be with you so let me go." I  planned to bounce away."

"Wait..." I was pushed back and against the wall by Timi.

"Now that we are alone here... We can enjoy each other." Timi said while smirking at me. 

"Please move your face away from me, before I make sure you can't give birth again."

It's not like I could fight, but he doesn't need to know that now does he? Plus, a little scare was needed. I wanted to kiss him so bad but I couldn't. 

"Calm down —he chuckled. I wanted to collect your number since you refused to give me since last term and none of your friends are giving me." he mumbled.

 "Not like you have many" he added quietly.

The nerve!

"Do you think after you have insulted me, I will give you my number?" I said while glaring at him. "Number ko, sim  ni."  I replied him feeling smug that I didn't let my nervousness show.

Loking at me with amusement, he leaned deeper into me and whispered in my ears, "I'll just have to convince you." 

Before I knew what was going on, he started raining hot open mouthed kisses down my face. From my ear to my cheek,to the corner of my mouth,my throat, my neck and  I lost all thought and everything within me was shouting Kiss him! Kiss him!

Going back to my ear he whispered, "Will you give me now? Or do you want more?"

"Okay, stop, stop" I rushed out

Wait where did that come from? I wanted more.

Presenting me a wide grin, he brought out his phone, "Now, call it."

After giving him my number,he leaned closer to me. His lips hovering above mine I just needed to move a little and our lips would touch.

"Thanks for the number. I'll message you and make sure you reply me." He looked up from his phone after he had saved my contact and I held myself from shrinking back at his height. 

Sometimes, I wished he wasn't too tall so it would boost me not to be intimated by his stupid height.
