Chapter Nine & Ten
I was walking along the street that lead to my apartment when i sighted her coming with some of her friends,i decided to look away but then when she got to my side she started the shouting
"Hey babes see the stupid thing we have been looking for ashawo you better leave my boyfriend for me, idiot as she take ugly like monkey. Michelle is only mine and if you don't get your stupid ass away from him I will show you pepper,"
I just stood looking at her at first I decided not to talk but then I thought of making something clear to her,"Excuse me Chioma or whatever your name is," I said at first and her friends were making comments like,"Ewoo,see this yeye English babe dey call our own momma name see wahala oo,".
I didn't even mind whatever they were saying i just went on with my own talk," Look i want to make something crystal clear to you, Michelle and I are just friends nothing more than that so you can think whatever you want to for all i care," I replied her rather them even when I knew Michelle and I were more than friends.
" Ehn ehn she still get mouth to dey blabb, you see as i dey see you so e be like say make i just beat you die but today no be your day cause I know say i go catch you and my bobo red-handed,na dat day i go con show you say i no be all those yeye babe you dey see around, idiot girls make we dey go this one na my pikin," she ended her speech moving forward to wherever in the world they were heading to. I kept staring at them till they were disappeared into a corner before i headed home.
Few days after Chioma's threat Michelle called me and said we should go and have fun together but I told him I wasn't feeling too well, have decided not to tell him about his girlfriend's threat because I didn't want to be a cause for a fight between them so I just decided to keep distance for a while.
It was not that I was scared of Chioma's threat but I didn't want to be the cause for another breakup for Michelle cause a lot of people already has the wrong idea about use,so Chioma actually has all the right to think we were dating. i understands how she feels and I wouldn't blame her at all, although I could not go to the extent of threatening a lady all because of my guy but I knew the feeling when your lover has a female bestie and I know Michelle and I were more than bestieS.
I didn't want Michelle to notice i was keeping distance from him so about a week later after having a morning class i checked him up in his department and luckily for me he was just about leaving class and was actually glad i came,he asked me if I was feeling much better now and I assured him I was alright already.
Since we didn't both had a particular plan for the day so we decided to take a walk together and maybe go to somewhere silent where we could study a little bit.
After the morning lecture i decided to come to the library where I could be able to go through what the lecturer had taught us that morning in class. This has been my favourite place for the past two years,i didn't really have much friends just few male ones ladies were actually out of it.
Sitting as usual with my books in front of me I had my earpiece on was listening to music, that way nobody would disturb my peace although everywhere was silent cause noise was not allowed around the library.
I was doing some working on the particular subject we were taught when I noticed someone tapped me, i looked up from my book and saw a lady already sitting beside me.she was extending her hands towards me and I guess for an handshake.
But then,she was saying something i could not figure out what it was because of the earpiece i had on. At first I felt like not removing it cause I wasn't ready to speak to anybody especially a lady but I felt she might think me rude just like how everybody insinuate so I removed it to listen to her.
" Hi, am Rebecca,"she said still extending her hands towards me.
" Ohh nice name,"I replied simply.
" And you what's your name and can we be friends,"she finished her sentence when my eyes darted towards the door and I sighted her again with the guy i think is her boyfriend and they were coming towards where I was sitting.
I didn't know why but I just packed my books and stood up to leave telling the girl who wanted to make friends with me that am very sorry but I had to go,she was actually surprised at the rush and I could feel she was staring at me till i was out of the library.
I am not a weirdo am just like every other normal guy around around, although people think me abnormal. Am Tobi Williams born with a sliver spoon, the only child of my parents blessed with good looks.
My parents was the business type they don't really have time taking care of me all by themselves, although everything i wanted was provided but I didn't really get to feel how a mother and father love is even when both my parents were still alive safe and healthy,they don't just have the time or maybe they didn't just care.
It was their carelessness that led to a terrible childhood misery but still they didn't learn from that mistake all they cared about was making Money and that was the main reason I kept to myself.
I was use to doing things alone from when I was a child,i managed to keep few male friends cause I don't want to seems weird to people.
But then,my mind kept noticing this very lady that walked into the library i left few minutes ago. I don't know why but I kept having a different feeling about her not the usual I feel towards others.
Although she wasn't really that beautiful but she is cute to me and of all she's gentle and seems kind too but my head didn't want to have anything to do with any human being in skirt, you might kept wondering why I hate a whole lot about ladies. Do you care to find out why?.............🥺
