Chapter 7: Chapter 7
IVAN
Emilia and I started our senior secondary class Last week in a new school . I'm an art student(ss3) and she is a science student(ss2). In my own view,i think the school is OK,just OK. The only annoying thing is the way girls keep gawking and swooning at me.That got me thinking ,if they haven't seen a guy before.
.
A lot of girls were trying to approach or seduce me with their annoying caked faces. It isn't like I don't like girls, the thing is, the girls I dated are sexy and don't cake their faces with too much make ups.Girls that apply too much make ups always look ugly to me, but to them they think they are sexy and beautiful.I called that bullshit.
I also made new friends too and was also invited to a party this night. I'm never gonna miss it for the love of anything.
I was on my way to my next class after departing with my new friends ,a girl stop me on the way. When I looked at her face I knew I've seen her somewhere before.
Then it clicked that she was the girl I rejected at a party.
"Hi do you remember me. I'm Natalia by the way" she brought out her hand for a shake, instead ,I eyed the hand.
"So?" I ask raising my brows with folded arms. Girls like her are so desperate for sex.
" what do you mean by 'so'. I just wanna be your friend since we didn't start on the right foot at the party" she said while battling her eyelashes.
"Okay natali or whatsoever you called yourself , I already made it clear at the party or should I repeat myself again. I- don't- wanna -be -friends- with- you- ,do I make myself clear" .
I don't cared if I was rude or not....people like her only have ears but they don't listen.
"Jerk" she sneered while I turn and left for my class.
On reaching my class,i was surprised that no one was in there. Why isn't there anyone? Or maybe the next class is holding in another class, I thought. I brought out my time table to see what we're supposed to be having now .
It freaking biology
I don't even know why art students are taught biology in secondary school when we don't even need it at all. The subject is just too bulky and the worst part is the fact that we're having a combined class with science class. It's so annoying
I walk towards the direction of the lab and pushed the door to enter. Already, some students were in the class but the teacher isn't. I went to take my seat as usual at the back close to my friends.
" yo man" James greeted as I sat on the stool close to him.
" I never knew we were having biology together "
" yes, biology have always been a combined class"
" Good morning class" the teacher greeted immediately she entered
" Good morning " students answered.
" I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting, there was traffic on the road " the teacher explain
Who ask you?
" we will be talking on Reproductive system. "
Some people groaned not liking the topic while some were interested on the topic as it got to do with asexual and sexual reproduction. Some people tend to be so stupid in this kind of discussion.
"As we all know, reproduction is the ability of living organisms to give rise to new individuals of the same species and their purpose is to ensure the continuity of life "
Our teacher went on and on in explaining it. She talks on their types,structure, and function .
I would be lying if I had said I wasn't enjoying the class coz I am. I think it the way she took her time to explain everything bit by bit. There is one thing I noticed with this school,which is the way all teachers are well qualified and they know exactly what they are teaching.
" we'll stop here for now coz of the practical I'm about to show you guys as exams is by the corner. Each one of you will have a partner which I have already draft here with me. Always remember, two people per tube and please be careful with the chemical inside. So now, listen attentively as I call your partner's name"
I hate grouping, I just pray James is my partner coz I can't stand the girls.
" James and Abigail "
" Lucy and ivan"
What the hell ,and who is this Lucy?.
She finished calling the names " now, you can all move to sit with your partners "
The screeching of chairs was heard as people stood to look for their partners
" let's go meet our partner " James said as he stood up
" I don't know mine" I shrug
" come, she is a friend to my partner and they are over there" said James pointing at her.
I wanted saying why can't they come looking for us but I decided against it
I packed my books and together we walk to the direction he pointed.
" hello abby" he greeted the girl facing us
" hey" she replied uninterested
The other lady was busy jotting down something so I couldn't see her face.
" he is Lucy's partner " James said to Abby as he pointed at me while she nodded and moved closer to the girl I think was Lucy . She said something in her ear and the Lucy girl closed her book then turn to us.
Everything stopped all of a sudden . She is here again, my dream girl. This is the third time we met again
" you? " she shouted in recognition. I never knew she was going to the same school as me. I know I've been harsh on her twice the day we've met.
" yes, me" I said with a smirk
" how can you be my partner " she said in disbelief and something like disgust
" who said I also want to be partnered with you" I said with a brow raised.
James and Abby kept looking back and forth at us. They were surprised that we knew each other already or should I say, this isn't our first time of meeting
" you know her?" asked James in surprise
" more like she bumped into me"
" you're a liar, you were the one who kept bumping into me " whispered yelled Lucy, like an angry kitten. She looks funny.
" no, I did no such thing . Just agree with me that you have something wrong with your sight "
" you're stupid, crazy, and rude. you have no respect for ladies" she screamed angrily and that got the attention of our teacher.
" what's going on over here" demanded the teacher " why are you two shouting? "
" Ma,he started it" pointed lucy
" no, she started it" I said as I match her glare.
" just shut up you two. I don't want to hear any noise from you two, do I make myself clear? "
" yes ma" we answered in unison.
" Good, now face your work" said our teacher and left.
Lucy didn't talk to me through out the practicals and I didn't also. I don't know why I'm so angry with her anytime I see her. But when I see her in my dreams, I always wish to hold her. What is happening to me.
Is this a sign that I'm running mad? Does she also dream about me?
So many questions were swirling in my head.

LUCY
" why are you so angry with Ivan? What did he do to you" asked Abby as we walked out of the lab.
" it's him"
"who? " a confused Abby asked.
" the guy in my dreams. He is the same guy I once told you about abby" I explained
" what?!! . "
" yes, I'm also as surprised as you're "
" you remember the new guy in my class I was telling you about the other day?" I nodded indicating that I remembered
" that's the same guy I was also telling you about" said abby
" really, so that was the same guy you went on and on about how beautiful he was? "
" yes, that is him" she answered
" All this is making me go crazy. Why is he always rude to me? I just don't get why all this is happening " I sigh and sat on the bench close by. Abby also sat close to me.
" I know with time, every questions would be answered . I know there is a reason why you always see him in your dreams and also why he is rude in real life. " she tried soothing my mind but I still can't calm down.
" cheer up, girl" said Abby, again.
