Chapter 13: Chapter 13
I opened my eyes slowly to be met by a white wall that seemed to give me an awkward smile as it stared at me while presenting to me a bowl of drug stinking smell...I scrunched my nose tilting my head to be met by kemi
Weird ! I know both of us never got along anyway
"You're awake ?"she asked obviously the dumbest question since I opened my eyes and ears to listen to the same old sets of rubbish
"No I'm still sleeping..." I retort "pass me the mirror beside you jare " I say as she hiss while giving me a bedside mirror and turning back to a book she was reading...
Are you sure it's kemi sitting beside you?
Holding a book for that matter?
Why isn't she telling everyone that you passed out
"What are you doing here? "I ask not meaning to sound rude
"Thanks for watching over me for the time being...." she said giving me a grim look before adding with a fake smile "your welcome "
I roll my eyes as i huffed " why aren't you telling everyone that i passed out?"
" oh that...." she starts pointing her index finger at me while replying quite dramatically " about that baby...its already on the school news headlines...wanna have a look ?" She asked with a smirk as I hiss laying back on the bed
"Well I don't care whether you wanna have a look or not but here are the comments...." she paused to read it aloud
Note my dear friends : kemi is the least person you would want to have a quiet time with even if you are dead ...
" headlines says ....' STUDENT CHRISTIANA DAVIDS FAINTS DURING RECESS PERIOD' and the comments read..." she continues
Such a weakling
Pretending all strong
Serves her right
So sad dear
Take your medication serious
I roll my eyes at the stupid comments which kemi is reading....
But seriously I didn't know I had this much enemies.
Why?
Cause most times people hate you for no reason
At the end you only got you, yourself and only you...
But in my case I got shola, bubbie, suzy, and myself....I don't know about anyone again ...
" once a weakling always a weakling...." kemi continued
"Kemi...it's okay !!!" I call sternly as she drops her phone to look at me
" so just you know...I'm not the one who posted this on the school blog "
" that's a first" I replied
" why say such ?" She asked
"Cause you always get to know what happens before anyone else" I reply in a 'duh' tone
" right...but this one I didn't do it "she says
" it's okay...." I say literally believing her...
Btw ...why do I believe her?
Maybe she may have been trying to get back at me for embarrassing her in front of the class....
But then I shouldn't judge and i ought not to conclude yet the culprit would surely rear it's head up...my subconscious argued
You know what maybe we should just let it go...it's just some stupid childish human that must have come up with something as petty as their brain
Kudos Christy you've not seen the person and you've already thrown your first insult.... gurl you need deliverance my subconscious pointed
" but maybe don't feel too relaxed though....I didn't get to post it first because mrs chioma sent me on an errand " kemi says smirking mischeviously as I roll my eyes
Typical kemi
I took the mirror to resume examining my black eyes...I GOT A BLACK EYE!!!! I screamed mentally
Kemi looks at me awkwardly " of course you do...and it sure looks terrible "she replied...I look at her in confusion
"What?...you just said you got a black...."
Damn I voiced out my thoughts
"I know kemi..."I said cutting her short cause if i don't I'd deal with it and FYI! I didn't have strength to talk
" too bad "she says returning back to her book as I pulled the bedsheets a little further...while turning to back her...
It's odd seeing kemi read...I'm not saying she's a dunce or dummy...it's just that noisemakers rarely...rarely show-off that they actually read
" what are you reading? " I ask kemi still with my back turned against her
"How to be a good journalist"she replies in a muffled voice. I could tell she didn't raise her head up from the book
"Uh okay..." I say trying to close my eyes when the door barges open
" guess the patient still enjoys the clinic bedspread " shola says announcing her presence
I stood up immediately at the sound of her voice
" girls...can you please tell me who the hell did this to me ?" I ask using my index finger to point at my eye
"And what are you going to do ?" Bubbie asked
" I want to give the person a pat on his back...like seriously " I say scoffing sacarsticaly as kemi, bubbie and shola chuckle
" well...hun the hell of the human shot you a ball kinda mistakenly and carried you in bridal style to the clinic....I guess that's why everyone's is so jealous...Cause you two looked good together " kemi says dreamily
" isn't it sweet ?" Just ask sweetly before turning furious again " just wait till I catch the douche in human clothing "I said with a hiss. Wrapping myself in the bedsheets again
" Kemi....thanks for looking after her "bubbie says
" it's no big deal anyway...." Kemi was starting to say when I quickly cut her off
"Please in case of next time...don't leave kemi in the room with me again..." I say rolling my eyes
"Ah ah...christy..." bubbie was starting to say
"Phulse if you would leave her with me abeg remember to give her a bib" I say
" your own wahala....abeg jare " kemi says nervously brushing my rude attitude...
I kinda feel bad about it but am I allowed to say it wasn't intentional ?
" madam quiet...we are off to class" shola says as I quickly jump out of the bedsheets to go with them. ...I can't stay in this clinic alone...as even the nurse there could understand considering that she wasn't even around...
*************
Great!!!! Everyone is staring at me like I just developed 6 heads with horns as I walk to my seat.some muttering sorry while some just staring...I roll my eyes at them all
Where are all the much hate? Mtcheew
I scan the class in search of Chris....I don't actually know why I'm looking for him...so don't bother to ask me why
I settled on my seat quietly when some idiot came along " Christy" she call mockingly as she and her minions or rather stupid set of disciples sneer at me
"What ?" I snap at her
" no apologies for your black eye cause it sure suits you" she said
You see why I call her an idiot??? Cause she always finds a way to piss me off. I dropped the pen I was holding gingerly to face her while plastering a fake bitchy smile on my face as I retort
"Miss bla bla I'm sure if i search your junk you call a brain it wouldn't be able to form a textbook so kindly take your seat and meditate on how to minimize spending your parents money " I reply in a bitchy sweet manner as as her expression darkened. Just then the bell rang
School over yay !!!
I stand up to face her still with my lovely fake smile "if you find it hard to meditate maybe you can get a life besides its cheaper and easier " I say smirking as her eyes widened
"Goodbye girls" I say waving saucily at her and her minions as I catwalk away....
And i love myself cause I don't give a damn about her...
************
I walked tiredly inside the house to meet mum who was suprised to see me with my black eyes...and of course I wouldn't escape suzy's taunting
"Did you have a fight or something"mum asked scrutinizing my face
" something..." I reply dryly
" Christy...I know you don't like your school but you shouldn't be fighting here and there like a rouge " mum said sighing dramatically
"WHOEVER...." Suzy started stressing her whoever "......had a fight with you wasted his precious time cause people like you ehhn....sha I won't blame you though..." she said cutting her sentence when i gave her the look of say-whatever-you-want-say - now-and - consider- yourself-a -dead meat
"You two would soon explain your problem...." mum said then fixing her attention on my face again
"Nne...Did you fight eeh?"
"No...mum...I got shot by a ball" I reply tiredly
"Wait ooh...were you blind when the ball hit you? "Suzy asked mischeviously looking for my trouble.I eyed her with a hiss
"Someone help me tell suzy to mind herself cause I don't mind shutting her up" I warned as suzy stuck her tongue out at me
"Oya...oya suzy go and get me ice block "mum said as suzy mutters lazily to get the ice block
"Don't worry mum I'm fine" I say as suzy breaths a sigh of relief
"Are you sure? Cause I wanted someone who would help me and go to aunty dara's house and get me eggs"
"Mum I need the ice block my eyes hurt" I say immediately in pretence while suzy rushed to bring it and place on my face
"Lemme take care of you honey"suzy said feigning a caring attitude as mum glares at us
" na una sabi.... you're not doing me you're doing ya self " she says eyeing we both..
We hated to go to aunty dara's house cause the woman was an epitome of the word nagging itself... she can nag like the word itself and mum knew we hated it but since her house wasn't far from ours and she sold eggs, mum had decided to patronize her
" now you sound like some old school teacher "I say and suzy agrees
"What's this I hear about old school cause I love it "a deep masculine voice rings out from the kitchen as a tall well-endowed figure of a man towering over my mum who is called her husband as well as my dad....rephrase that....suzy and i's dad appears
" DAD!!!! " suzy and i chorused giving dad a bear hug and finally pulling away I ask excitedly
"Dad your back!?"
"No...I'm on my way "he says jokingly as i sigh
Typical parents
" Dad i missed you"suzy said pouting
"Missed you girls more..." dad says hugging us again
"So...suzy since you got home you haven't seen dad?"I asked her eyeing her as she rolls her eyes
"So this is your best line to pick up on me shey ? Abeg leave me to enjoy my weekend with my man joor "suzy said as mum quickly jumps in the conversation
" hold yourself there young lady...." she says going over to hold her hubby " when you get your own hubby call him your man and don't come and use mine to learn petty tiff "mum said in defense as we all burst out laughing
"You sure taught them alot...C'mon give me a hug " dad said as we all gave a group bear hug...
This was the beginning of my perfect weekend....guess it wasn't all a bad start
