• ” Oh,, ” Florence said
• They got their order and started eating silently,
• ” Can we join you??” Michael asked with other three boys behind him
• ” What?? No you can’t ” Sharon said
• ” Of course you can” Florence immediately said
• ” Thanks ” Michael smiled and sat down with his friends
• They started eating again ,nobody talked until Gavin broke the silence
• ” Your friend seem to be close with Rowan ” He said
• ” I guess,,” Sharon replied shortly
• She saw Lisa standing up and coming to them,she smiled
• ” Why are you smiling?? ” Michael asked
• ” She’s joining us ” She replied
• Just then Lisa got to them and sat down opposite Michael,
• ” Why are you here?? Thought you enjoy your company with your crush ” Sharon teased
• ” What?? He’s your crush??” One of Michael’s friend asked
• ” Of course Noah ” Sharon replied
• ” Your mouth!!” Lisa yelled and they all laughed except Michael who only focus on his food
• ” I heard the school will be throwing a welcome party for the new students on Friday ” Ethan said
• ” Am not a new student so why are you telling me ??” Michael asked
• ” We have two new students here,,Lisa and Florence ” Sharon said
• Michael looked up and caught Lisa starring at him
• ” Well,,,,,it’s cool” He said and faced his food again
• ” You look hungry,,” Sharon said to Michael and they all laughed
• ” The old students are also gonna be there right?? So I can dress so,,,,,”
• ” Cut the crab Sharon,,don’t you dare dress cutely to the party” Michael interrupted her
• ” But,,,,,”
• ” No but,,,” He snapped
• ” Idiot ” Sharon muttered and bite the chicken angrily
• Gavin chuckled
• ” Now the poor chicken is the one suffering ” He said
• ” Let’s leave,, am done ” Michael said standing up while wiping his mouth with the tissue
• ” But we are still eating ” His friends said
• ” Fine,,meet me at the waiting room,,,” He said and left the table
• ” Are you done Sharon?? I lost my appetite ” Lisa said
• ” I want to spend more time with Gavin ” Sharon whispered to her
• ” Then meet me at the dorm,, ” Lisa said and walked away while the others continue chatting loudly
• Lisa sighed out as she walked out of the cafeteria,, she could remember that she was really starving, then why couldn’t she eat half of the food,she was the one who ordered for fried egg and plantain, then why did she suddenly lost her appetite??
• ” Oh my God!! ” she screamed when she saw a body on one of the chairs,
• ” Michael?? ” She called
• ” Sweetheart?? ” He smiled
• ” What are you doing here?? ” She asked
• ” This is the waiting room,,am expecting those gluttons to come here ” Michael replied
• ” Am going to sleep,,,” She said
• ” Goodnight ” Michael said
• She walked out but ran back in,,,
• ” What’s wrong??” Michael asked looking concerned
• ” I can’t go alone,,,” She said .
• ” Maybe I should go with you?? ”
• ” Can you do that?? ” Lisa asked
• ” Let’s go,,,”
• ” You’re afraid of ghosts?? ” Michael suddenly asked and she flinched
• ” Stop talking about ghost,,it’s late ” Lisa said looking scared
• ” Are you kidding me ?? I was about telling you that there are many ghosts here ” Michael said
• ” No!!!” She shouted and Michael immediately covered her mouth with his palm
• ” I was just joking,,, ” He said
• She nodded still breathing hard
• ” Michael,, ” She called and he faced her
• ” What?? ”
• ” About,,you and Rowan,,,,”
• ” I don’t wanna talk about him,,,but am going to apologize right now for something ” Michael said and she was confused
• ” Apologize for what??” She asked
• ” When next he hurt me,,am not going to forgive him,,” He said
• ” So,,why are you telling me??”
• ” I heard he’s your crush,am sure you won’t like it when you see your crush get hurt right?? ” Michael smiled
• She wanted to tell him she wasn’t crushing on Rowan but no word came out of her mouth
• ” Why do you suddenly want to fight back??” Lisa asked even though she knew the question sounds lame
• ” I guess everyone likes bad boys,,so am gonna become one too,” He winked
• ” No,,I don’t like bad boys ” Lisa said and he laughed
• ” Really?? So that means Rowan is a good boy?? Wow,,,that’s amazing. Well,,,others like bad boys right??”
• ” Michael,,,,,did anything happened between you guys in the past??” She asked
• ” What?? I don’t even know him,,how will I do something for someone I don’t know?? We met in this school,,and we never get along,, he doesn’t like me and I don’t like him either. I don’t hate him though,,” Michael explained
• ” Wow,,,that’s not nice,,” Lisa sighed
• ” It’s fine,,we can’t get along,,” Michael said
• She was about saying something when Michael told her they’ve gotten to the dorm,,
• ” Bye Sweetheart ” He said and turned to leave
• ” Lisa,,,” She said and Michael turned back to face her
• ” What’s Lisa??”
• ” That’s my name,, ” She said
• ” I told you I won’t remember right??”
• ” I just wanted to tell you,, even if you forget,,I’ve never introduced myself to you properly so am doing it now,,,” She said
• ” Sweetheart sounds more better,,,,” Michael winked at her and she gasped
• ” What,,anything wrong??” He immediately asked
• ” No,,am fine,,thanks for walking me here, goodnight ” She said and rushed inside
• Vanessa pouted angrily as she watch Michael leaving the female dorm,,who the hell was he talking to??
• She breath out trying to calm herself but it’s not working at all,,,she jumped on the bed angrily and soon a knock came on the door,
• ” Who’s there?? Eunice?? ” she called the name of her roommate
• ” It’s Michael ” The voice said and she couldn’t hide her joy
• She rushed out of bed and opened the door immediately
• ” Oh my,,Michael,,” She called and hugged him
• ” Why didn’t you come for dinner??” He asked
• ” were you worried?? ” she asked
• ” We are friends so I should be worried because it’s unlike you to ignore food ” Michael said
• ” Are you calling me a glutton right now?? That’s harsh ”
• ” Sorry,,,but ,,,,,”
• She interrupted him with a peck on his cheek.
• Michael sighed and nodded slowly still not getting why she keep on doing that lately
• ” why are you suddenly silent??” Vanessa asked
• ” I will just go back,,I came to check if you’re good” Michael said
• ” Michael wait ” She stopped him
• ” What is it??” He asked
• ” I have something to say to you,,,,, but,,not now,, how about tomorrow?? ”
• ” Okay,,,tomorrow ” He replied and walked away.
• ” What is she planning to tell me ??” He asked himself
• ” See who asked us to meet him at the waiting room ” Noah said with a scoff as he entered the dorm
• Well,,for the male,it’s three students in each dorm. And Michael is in the same room with Noah and Gavin,, Ethan is in another room.
• ” Well,something came up ” He replied and took off his shirt
• ” You followed Lisa right??” Gavin said
• ” I never wanted to ,,but she was scared of going alone,, nothing else ” Michael said putting on his pajamas
• ” Do you think you should be talking to her?? ” Noah asked
• ” What do you mean??” Michael asked laying his back on the bed
• ” She’s Rowan’s friend, Sharon even said she’s crushing on him,,,,what if Rowan try to hurt you if you get close to her??” Gavin said
• ” You’re right ” Noah agreed
• ” She’s Sharon’s friend ” Michael said
• ” Come on Michael,,try to understand what we are saying ”
• ” I understand you,,am not trying to start any relationship okay?? Just friends, she’s nice ” Michael said
• ” Her crushing on Rowan doesn’t stop me from being her friend,, we are not even friends, so you guys should not worry about me ” Michael said and closed his eyes
• ” No reading?? ” They asked at the same time
• ” Am tired ” He replied without opening his eyes.
