Chapter 18: Chapter 18
SEVENTEEN- MISUNDERSTANDING
I subconsciously tugged at my lips.wtf just happened ? The door opened and a lady on a white dress with a small white cap which had blue stripes on it walked in, making her way to the bed on which I laid on.
She started saying something, but lord knows I wasn't listening. Heck! I was still in trance.trying to battle with my pent up emotions. I was feeling surprisingly giddy and at the same time quite annoyed. Yet the giddy feelings was miserably taking a greater part of me. I subconsciously smiled at the flashback of him placing his lips on mine.
First I didn't want to believe that he just kissed me.but the scent of sugar and butter from the cupcakes earlier which brushed past my nose when he kissed me left quite a proof that he really did that. I felt heat rise up to my cheeks and I could comfortably bet that if I was white, I'd be as red as pepper spray
" are you okay dear " the lady on white called me back from my trance with a slight tap.she had been saying something which I had long ago zoned out on
I stared at her in confusion. Why was I even here again ?
Cramps. My subconscious reminded me and I face-palmed my self
That's right.geez how can I forget..I mentally asked
Well when you have been thinking about dozie's. how could you not forget? it asked and I could imagine it rolling it's eyes
I chuckled before replying the lady who had asked the second time
" yes Miss.I'm okay " I said and she gave me a small smile before resuming what she had been talking about.
You and I know that you're not okay . My subconscious said and I subconsciously rolled my eyes.ignoring the sneer it seemed to put up with it
I tugged my lower lips gently again as I thought about it.it's still unbelievable to me..Dozie Mattew's....as in dozie.annoying freaking.I hate to admit it but he was gorgeous and that gorgeous annoying fellow just kissed me
" Oh my gosh!!! " I yelled out. The nurse looked up at me. She was startled as she saw the huge smile that had boldly crept up my lips.
" Meera, you've been behaving so weird.are you sure you're alright ?" She said with a worried look
I knew she was probably thinking I've lost it.but then how else do you expect me to take it in that dozie freaking mattew just stole my first kiss and instead of me to be mad at him all I could do was to smile like an idiot..
I nodded a positive reply to the nurse. Assuring her that I was totally fine when truthfully, my head was turning into a bizarre deport at the thought of that.
The Nurse smiled warmly at me " I'm glad you're okay..anyway I'll give you the flevin. You're to take one tablet for now. then have plenty of rest okay " she said and I nodded in reply
" thanks nurse Juliet " I said.she reciprocated with a small. Nurse Juliet didn't mind us calling her miss or just simply nurse Juliet it was choice anyway
" okay..let me see someone briefly. I'll be back " she said as she walked off.leaving me to continue my muse
I sighed. How was I even going to face dozie again?I'm pretty sure I'd be so embarrassed. Damn! Why did he even have the do that ? why was I even feeling so giggly when to him it was just a kiss ?
How can he even say that, when to me.it was my freaking first kiss.why was this having so much effect on me when it was just a small kiss.
What's even happening to me again????
I graoned at my many thoughts. This was getting so frustrating.everything was. The feeling of butterflies fluttering inside me, the subconscious smiles , the nervous feelings. God! That's why I tried so hard to avoid relationships.but now this??
Who told you he wanted to even have a relationship with you ? He probably did that because you were being stubborn.besides it's just a small kiss that didn't even mean anything. A small voice said and just when I tried reasoning with it, another voice came up
Joor.he probably likes you and that's why he did it.if he didn't like you then he wouldn't have gotten you both punished and eventually kissing you..another voice said snorting
But since when did getting someone punished become a way of liking someone ? I couldn't help asking and again I groaned, grabbing the blankets over my head in frustration
My eyes trailed off to the medicine which lay beside a water bottle. I rolled my eyes as I knocked it out of my view.I hated drugs and besides. I feel alot better now.
The door flew open again I peeked from the blankets to see who came in.finding out that it was Clara. I instinctively sat upright
She halted her steps when she saw me and immediately she fixed a scowl on her face
" You're finally getting treatment " she said, throwing off a disgusted look at me.
I blinked my eyes at her.trying to understand the meaning of what she just said when I realized that nothing Clara says is ever meaningful.so I gave up
" What's that supposed to mean? " I asked with a bored look
She snapped her head at me as she walked closer.as if daring me to do something
" well, it means what it means." She spat angrily
I didn't say a thing instead I stared at her like she had never seen a brain before. Letting her spill out all the jags she came her to talk
" to think I was even going invite a mean bitch like you was so damn irritating. And I mean if not for Adam, Priye and dozie. I wouldn't even have...."
"....oh shut up " I snapped at her in a commanding tone.she glared at me in anger as I continued
" You're really in need of this sick bay.as in how can you come in here shamelessly and blab about me turning down a party for the low IQ ?" I fired back at her and she scoffed
" and you think you're better huh? " she asked and I hissed
" of course I am..besides i forgot that you even have no iota of shame so please gerra out. " I fired back at her as she hissed angrily
" I'll get back at you " she spat out angrily before storming away but then not without throwing the word "bitch" at me
About that,I was going to address her issue the next time she calls me a bitch.
I pulled the blankets over my face again before the door flew open and I mentally groaned
" so this is the part where everyone has to visit Abi ?" I asked
" abeggi sharrap. " I raised my head up to see Annette, Sophie and Sola
" ahh..sorry ooh " I said with a small smile
" why was 'queen' clara storming away ? "Sola asked and I scoff
" queen ko.slave ni...is there a time when she won't be storming away ? "I asked and they chuckled
" though. Did she come to see you?"Sophie asked and I laughed
" hah..she would gladly prefer to hide herself behind multiple witches than coming to see me " i said before sola asked me what happened and I had to narrate to them.
" thank goodness sha that we didn't even attend that party " Annette said and sola nodded in agreement
" you should actually thank me ooh. Who invites someone for a party just because she thinks we're there then the guys would be there? " I asked
" well..she's just getting worked up for nothing. " Annette said shrugging it off
" how are you feeling though ?" Sola asked and I shrug
" I'm better now...besides I've taken care of myself " I said
" but sha..clara has a point ooh " Annette blurted and the rest of us snapped our heads at her direction
" aren't we way past that topic ?" Sola asked
" last time I checked it hasn't been up to an hour yet so we haven't gone past the topic " Annette replied in a duh tone
" What's the point clara has ? "I asked her and she shrugs
" well..don't blame clara for getting all worked up.I mean it isn't her fault to get jealous of you because since this term you've kinda stolen her popularity " she says and I scoffed in disbelief
" excuse you.what does that mean ? "I asked with a hint of anger laced in my voice
" durrh can't you see that since we began final year. Adam decided to sit beside you..."
" and how is that my fault ? "
" Adam usually sits with no one other than her and besides Priye also hangs around us.."
" it's because of Sola...and we all know that "
" and Ayo...??"
" Ayo's my friend and he came new this term.he doesn't even know clara and co. "
" how about dozie who keeps adoring you with his eyes? "She asked and I swear if not because what Annette was saying was pissing me off I would have smiled at that statement
" dozie and I have nothing to do with each other " I said slowly
" well, today during praticals. You two were all behaving too lovely dovely " she said making a tsk sound with her lips
I scoffed " unbelievable...Annette don't tell me you're...."
" okay girls...let's calm down.." Sola said.trying to play the peacemaker which was totally impossible right now
" yes...I was even beginning to think that you didn't like hanging out with us lately because you and dozie...."
I slammed my hands on the bed.too bad it couldn't make enough sound like I wished it should. Instead it sounded like what a three year old was bouncing on
" Annette. aren't you the one that quickly ran off to Adam when you found out that he was your partner during praticals.did I say something wrong ?..dozie became my partner and I couldn't help it...I'm sure you know he got both of us punished " I said.glaring at her
Sophie coughed in a bit to ease off the tension " that reminds me..Meera. miss joy said that tomorrow abi next you two as in you and dozie should see her in her office " she said
I rolled my eyes at the information. Can things get any better right now
" well..don't take it the wrong way.even if you and dozie have something to do with each other I'm not going to butt in....." Annette said and I scoffed
" I can't even believe you right now.how long have you even been wishing to tell me this." I said
She gave a dry laugh " don't try making me feel guilty right now..I was just telling you how I feel about the whole thing....."
"......thanks please.you girls can leave me alone now " I said with a sigh.not wanting to hear anymore of what she was going to say.
I think I've had it enough for today anyway. I was already feeling exhausted and I needed to just go home and rest..
I stood up abruptly from the bed and without one more glance at the girls I walked out of the sick bay
Feeling a gust of fresh air caress my face.I smiled...sick bays are totally really suffocating.
