Deborahs POV
I walked into the class the next day and rushed over to hug my friends .
Deborah:hey bitches(I laughed)
Ay:hey baby girl
Emmanuella:hmmmmm,you are in a good mood(she smiled)
Deborah:why not am I suppose to be sad about something?(I grinned) what are we doing today?anything in particular?
Ay:nope
Deborah:hmmmm how about this all bills for our meals are on me today
Emmanuella:Deborah are you sure you are fine(she laughed)
Deborah:(I rolled my eyeballs)I'm fine girls
The bell was rung and a teacher walked in,through the rest of the first three period I answered a lot of questions and talked cheerfully.once it was break we walked to the cafeteria together bought some foods and sat down to eat .just them shindara and the new girl*charlotte* walked in laughing.they also got some snacks and had a seat not to far away soon Kenneth walked in and sat down beside them and kissed Charlotte on the cheek. She giggled and they both began to display affections
Ay:(scoffs)I hate her already
Deborah:guys let them be(I whispered without looking away from my meal)we can't always get what we want(I looked up and caught Kenneth staring at me ,he smiled and I looked away)are you girls done?let leave?
Emmanuella:yes (we picked our things and left ,heads high)
We went to nowhere in particular,we kept laughing and making jokes to keep our minds of school.once it was prep ay and Emmanuella head to the music room and since I wasn't interested i head to the library.I was trying to read a Shakespeare book when someone tapped me
Martins:are you really reading that?(he sat down )
Deborah:I warned you not to talk to me
Martins:why can't I talk to you?our parents are friends.(he stated)
Deborah:that doesn't make us friends (I glared at him)
Can you just let me be?
Martins :I don't remember saying anything wrong?sp why can't we be friends?
Deborah: I don't make friends with people who had to go to a rehab because of some addiction
Martins:woah,just because I went to a rehab doesn't mean I'm a bad person
Deborah:oh really.well I think you are a bad person for doing drugs
Martins:so this is all this is about?you thought I was doing drugs?(he smirked already seeming angry)
Deborah:isn't that what this is?(I went on still sounding sure)
Martins:it fine(he raised his hand in surrender)I am not going to force you to be friend with me ( he stood up picking his bags) but do me a favor and don't judge people without knowing the truth about the whole situation.( he walked away angrily)
Deborah:(I stared unsure and uncertain about the whole thing that just happened .I was Stilll contemplating the whole issue when Kenneth walked over)
Kenneth:hi(He smiled)
Deborah:(I turned back to reading my book)
Kenneth:are you busy?I need to talk to you,please.
Deborah:(I sighed) can you be fast about it I am trying to read
Kenneth:two minutes.thank you (he seats besides me)
Uhm I just wanted to tell you about what happened .and explain things with Charlotte
Deborah:who is Charlotte?(I feigned ignorance)
Kenneth:my girlfriend,I mean ex.....it complicated okay.look we broke up a while ago when she left the country. When she came back to Nigeria and got admission to our school she begged me to get back together. I saw the way you looked at me and I knew I had hurt you . I'm really sorry
Deborah: I am not hurt or broken.whatever it is you think I am not any of those things.besides,why are you telling me this?(I asked trying not to raise my voice as we were in the library)
Martins :because I like you(he swallowed)I really do want a chance with you. Can you just give me a little time and I will end things with her soon I promise
Deborah:you ...like me?(I stuttered still surprised?
Kenneth:do you like me too?....if you don't ...it had really hurt….bu….
Deborah:I like you too(I blurted out and bowed my head )but you have a girlfr...….( I was cut short by a kiss. It was only when it was over that they realization of what just happened hit me . Kenneth just kissed me)
Kenneth:you are not a bad kisser(he smirked)
Deborah:(I smiled and looked away)
Kenneth:please reply my text messages okay?
Deborah:(still in shock I was only able to nod)
Kenneth:say it(he urged)
Deborah:okay I will(I said and not my lower lips)
Kenneth:(he grinned) I will see you later(he held my hand for a while .after a few reminders that he needed to leave he finally let go and walked away)
Deborah:(I stared in disbelief for a while and soon began to laugh. I held unto the book I was suppose to be reading and continued smiling remembering all that happened a few seconds ago)
