The next day in school I received a textfrom rach that my bday gift was with tolu

so after school I went home , relax and then

read some of my school books , then during

the evenin as I was about going out for

evening stroll , as I opened the door I saw

tolu with a package in her hand but her

face wasn ’ t friendly, but I pretended to not

notice her mood and then asked

Me: is that for me ?

Tolu: yes! *stretching the gift towards me *

Me: WoW ! Thanks *smiling to her as if the

gift came from her * u shouldn ’ t have

Tolu: its not from me

Me: Really ? Then from who?

Tolu: anty rachael

Me: really ?* pretending to be surprise *

Tolu: Sir , *paused for like 5 sec * do u have

anything with my sister?

Me: why do u ask?

Tolu: can I come in?

Me: ehhmmm !!! Yeah sure.

She comes in and we sat to discuss, I was

just thinking of what to tell this girl that

won’ t upset her feelings

Me: hey ! What about ur people?

Tolu: my dad travel to abeokuta , my mum

went to market , anty funke is at home and

I don’ t know where samson is

Me: do funke know u re coming here ?

Tolu: no

Me: ok , so what do u want to know?

Tolu: why does anty rachael seems to like u

that much to the extent even u don ’t invite

me to ur room and when I want to see u ,

u’ ll give one excuse or the other, I am

having a strong feelings u like her too that y

u have been avoiding me ,

Me: hahahaha , avoid u ? No! no ! no ! no !,

the thing is , u see wat happen that night Is

what have been avoiding and…

Tolu: but I am not complaining na

Me: yes u re not but I felt terrible inside of

me , u see I like u , yes I do , but what if

someone find out about us , me and my

pupil, do u know the shame I ’ ll feel ? That’ s

y I have been acting the way I do , I am

sorry.

Tolu: *sobs * that ’s y u left me for my sister,

*cries * becus she’ s older

Me: *i helped up and hugged her * No! No !

No! I don ’t have anything to do with her

believe me .

Suddenly my phone rang and when I

checked who the caller was, it was

Rachael , and tolu saw the phone when I

brought it out of my jean pocket , I was

stunned and wasn ’ t sure if I should pick the

call.

Tolu: pick the call na

Me: why ?

Tolu: to prove u have nothing with her

Me: Oh! U don’ t believe me ?

Then call ended

Tolu: sir, please if she calls again pick the

call and put on speaker and if I confirm u

have noth …. *The phone rings again*

nothing to do with her as u said I won’ t

border u anymore

I looked at the ringing phone looked at Tolu,

she was just starring into my eyes with tears

inside her eyes. *what do I have to do ? I

asked myself * then I answered the call and

put it on speaker.

Me: helloo !!
