CHAPTER 9
“Norah, can you please go on a date with me?” Bran said which made me suddenly stop on my track and looked back at him, immediately turned away my face as my face started turning red making me feel a little embarrassed and startled. I looked at others and I can see the shock expressed on their faces too.
“please” Bran pleaded, and I started feeling as if there is a lump in my throat blocking me from being able to utter anything while I am still standing on the same spot.
“Yes, she will surely be glad to go with you” Kiki answered for me while I looked at her and she signaled to me to calm down.
After a few seconds, I started feeling my body again and I quickly rushed out of the house and into the car.
………………………………………………………………………………………………..
“I am not going on a date with him,” I said while Kiki reduced the volume of the music and looked at me.
“Bran actually pleaded for this in front of everyone” she replied looking so worried “and so?” I said squeezing my face
“I wish you could see how red your face turned,” she said letting a smile out of the corner of her mouth and quickly face me then continue “you can choose to disgrace him if that is how much you like him” she completed her words and I just couldn’t utter a single word.
Kiki dropped me at home without saying anything and headed to her house looking a little bit angry or maybe she just had a mood swing.
I entered the house but couldn’t see Kyle, then I went to his room but still couldn’t find him.
“Kyle” I called out but still no answer.
I remembered I saw his car outside before entering so he must be indoors unless he went out which I know well that he despised so much. I started walking down the hallway and towards my parent’s room then I started hearing sounds from my Dad’s room. I walked up to the door and started knocking on the door
“who is there?”
“Anyone?”
Still no answer so I decided to open the door myself if the person or animal inside there is not ready to talk.
“Norah” Kyle called out as he opened the door from inside, sweating and looking as if he just finished a big task inside there.
“what are you doing in Dad’s room?” I questioned and immediately I can see a drastic change in his face before he pushed me out of the way and left me at the door standing aimlessly.
“Damn it!” I said as I started walking up to him and before I got to the middle of the hallway, he entered his room and locked the door.
“Fuck you then” I screamed so loud for him to hear and I walked back to my room.
I jumped on my bed and brought out my phone to see a message from Fed 6:17 Mathis; Will you choose to disgrace him?
I looked at the message and sincerely I feel so bad for Bran because I feel so scared and this is the first time I will be asked on an official date. The thought of what Kyle can be doing in my father’s room flashed through my brain again and I still don’t know why he has to be angry.
“He has changed so much” I rumbled to myself as I off my shoe and rested myself well on the bed.
……………………………………………………………………………………..
“Please spare my life this once” I cried out looking at the guy standing above me as he was about to cut down my neck with the sword in his hands “Enough” A female voice ordered making him to stop and get away from me then I saw Morris standing in front of me and Ashley by the side
“He will surely spare you because I will be the one to end your miserable life with my own hands,” Morris said looking so deadly.
“I will be so honored to end her life,” Ashley said while others started laughing in an evil way “Die!!” Morris shouted said as she lifted the sword in her hand while I screamed in fear.
“calm down” I heard Kyle saying beside me.
I opened my eyes and saw Kyle looking so worried and immediately I started feeling my head burning and tears running down my cheek.
“I can say you just had a horrible dream,” Kyle said looking at me while I nodded in reply “You are screaming so loud and crying at the same time,” he said as he placed his palm on my forehead and continue “come down to the kitchen” he concluded as he stood up and started heading towards the door.
I stood up and went to my closet to change into something more comfortable, so I put on my short nude sweat pant and a black tank top before going downstairs to meet Kyle. I can smell fried rice and chicken right from the sitting room and I started salivating as the feeling of hunger rushed through my body and I quickly made my way to the dining room to see Kyle sitting and the table set.
“welcome and bon appetit,” Kyle said smiling as he gestured to me to take a sit.
“Are we done fighting now?” I muttered as I started digging into my portion of the food while Kyle started laughing at me and finally nodded “I bet you haven’t eaten something so nice like this for months” Kyle teased as he continued digging into his food also “who said the food is nice” I replied him sarcastically as I didn’t miss a spoon of my food “you can have extra at least maybe you will add flesh” he responded mockingly while I look at him with disgust.
We finished eating and Kyle insisted that I should use Paracetamol and I am now in his room looking at the new decoration he just made on his wall.
“you like it?” he asked distracting me
“Yes, it looks so beautiful” I replied him while he smiled back “How are Ashley and Morris behaving in school now?” Kyle asked as he sat down on the small couch opposite his bed “still like a mad dog as always” I replied him making me remember my dream and I know I have to change the topic.
“So now that you are out of high school and done with the business stuff, aren’t you going to apply to university?” I asked him curiously and I can see his facial expression turning into a more serious one “I have to wait for the next admission batch you know?” he replied while I nodded in agreement.
Maybe Kyle hasn’t really changed, maybe I just need to get closer to him and stop assuming things on my own.
…………………………………………………………………………………..
I woke up to the sound of the knock on my door and after some minutes I heard the sound of shoe heels approaching.
“Is today a free one again?” the familiar voice of Kiki asked pulling away the blanket from my body.
“Just allow me to sleep for 5 more minutes please” I begged as I turned away from her “it is only 30 more minutes to the school time, you Jerk!” Kiki screamed as she started throwing punches at my body.
Kiki dragged me to the floor finally and started removing every single pieces of clothes on my body “I refused to show you my beautiful body” I screamed as I started covering my body with my blanket and rushed to the closet to grab my towel and boom in my bathroom.
I quickly did a 2-minute bathing as I only washed my face, my armpit and my V. then just poured water on the other body part then brushed my teeth At least I bath very well yesterday and having a half bath shouldn’t be bad now and I can also bath well at night right, the rule was only Bath daily not necessarily in the morning.
I laughed at my thought and walked into my closet to pick a black ripped short and a green crop top, I left my hair flowing down my shoulder so it can hair dry. I started walking towards my makeup kit to do something naturally.
“No time for makeup darling, it is only 12 more minutes more,” Kiki said dragging me by the hand.
I picked the things I will be needing in school and we rushed out of the room, we couldn’t find Kyle and his car wasn’t at the garage, so I locked the door and hopped into my car with Kiki
…………………………………………………………………………………………
We are gathered at the table with the guys to plan on how to get Ashley and Morris’ book to compare their handwriting with the one in the letter giving to Kiki. Since Ashley and Morris are known to always carry their backpack around so has to flaunt how expensive it is, we have to make a very comprehensive plan.
After lunch, we all decided I should find a way to bump on Morris once she is at her locker and Mathis must find a way to steal one of Ashley’s books in their joint class.
I was standing at my locker when Morris walked past me to her locker, I picked my books and decided to get into action.
“What the hell!!!” Morris roared as I intentionally bumped onto her pretending to be busy pressing my phone and making almost everything inside her locker and on her hand dropping on the floor.
“Oh MY GOD” I muttered pretending it wasn’t intentional “Now you just mess everything up for me you bitch” she yelled angrily “I will pack everything for you,” I said as I placed my phone inside my pulse and bend down to start gathering her things.
“pick everything without leaving one behind” she demanded angrily as she turned away to rest her back on the lockers opposite me. I quickly smuggled a very small note pad which is like the size of sticky paper into my short pocket before she could turn back at me.
I was still picking them up when Bran appeared in front of me, he carried me up to stand on my feet and he started gathering them for me while I watch him. I can notice a change in Morris’ face but who cares.
“get out of my sight” Morris yelled at Bran and me as she moved towards us to lock her locker after Bran picked the last sets of her things up.
