*** Jeremy's POV continues *** I peered into her eyes waiting for her answer anxiously. I don't know what made me to ask this from her, I don't know why I wants her to be my friend, I can't even say what difference I found in her. She is beautiful but not as sophisticated as Lisa. Just a glance at her, I had found myself unconsciously falling for her. "I need an answer from you, please say something" I urged breathing heavily. "Why do you want me to be your friend, I learnt you detest Nigerians, you hates them with passion, what then are you insinuating.. I'm a Nigerian, a poor one, I'm a hawker hated by almost everyone in this school, I'm not classic or rich, what then do you see in me that made you want to bound friendship with me.. I don't think I can accept that" she said calmly with her head bowed slightly. "I'm also as confused as you are, I don't know why I wants you to be my friend. I.. don't just know" I said with a sigh and slumped on the bench then buried my
*** Anne's POV continues *** Omg, I can't believe I'm hugging the school cutest, how can he hug me when he knew I'm a piece of trash, I mean, what is he even thinking? In the front of the class and Lisa his girlfriend was right in front of us and he is still hugging me, Omg!!! I tried breaking the hug but he held me more closer to his body. *** Jeremy's POV *** I cuddled her close to my body not minding the raw egg which spurts all over her. My heart kept beating loudly, my whole body trembled in an inexplicable sensation which left me feeling great. I don't know what is going wrong with me, I don't just know, but all I know is that this very girl who everyone hates is making me go weirdly crazy for get, everything about her is enticing to me, looking into her eyes gives me joy, I don't just feel like breaking the warm hug which was making my heart throb. "Please release me, I'm suffocating" I heard her say, I broke the hug and held her palm making her face me,
*** Anne's POV *** I walked away with a heavy heart, I feel drawn and pained, I regretted being a poor girl, I regret the fact that I can't fight back. Entering into the class, I went to my seat and sat quietly without glancing at Jeremy. I know he must be peering at me but I can't spare him a glance. I don't want to fall for him more deeply, I'll try to kill the feelings growing in me, I'll try to forget everything about him, he can't be mine even if we love ourselves, I hate and detest wrestle of love, Two more teacher came and taught before the school bell rang for closure. I picked up my bag and scurried out of the class heading home, I sighted Jeremy picking his bag also following me. *** Jeremy's POV *** She rushed out of the class immediately the school bell rang, I stood up quickly and followed her. I've a lot to ask her, I have a lot to understand, She had been acting cold on me and I've to know the reason, I need to know what Lisa really told her. I'm
*** Anne's POV *** He kissed me passionately like I was his lover, although I was shocked but I never thought of breaking it. I was confused but I left him to go on with whatever he was doing, I'm not his girlfriend but I love him, I closed my eyes feeling the great pleasure of his deep kiss, I've never kissed anyone before, the pleasure was really new and intense, I don't even know how to kiss well.. His hand went round my neck drawing me closer to him, that made his lips go deeper, I could feel a shudder of sensation go down my spine, my whole body kept quivering. I couldn't tell when I wrapped my hand around his neck and returned the kiss. We kept devouring each other's lips as if our life depends on it. His hand went all over my neck down to my back romancing it sweetly, a soft moan escaped my lips immediately, the pleasure was immeasurable Just then, like a lightning, I got back to my senses and quickly broke the kiss. We both peered into our eyes deeply, "
*** Anne’s POV *** “Uhmm. You mean. Ermm” I muttered bringing my arm close to my nose to perceive the scent, it was the cologne of no other person than Jeremy, I felt like kissing my body as I perceived the scent, I really love it like crazy “Who has that scent or have you started meeting boys!!” She queried with her eyes filled with anger, “No no no.. I don’t know any boy, I have no boyfriend.. the scent could be…okay yes, I got this scent on my body when I was rushing through the crowd to get my own share of the money I just gave you” I lied smiling foolishly scratching my head vigorously. “I don’t have any time for you, mind you, I’ll never take it lightly with you If I finds out that you have start having any kind of relationship with any guy, get out from my view!” She barked dryly. I walked to my room feeling very elated, what made me so happy isn’t far fetched, it is no other thing than what happened between me and Jeremy earlier. I slumped on my bed without removi
*** Anne's POV *** I quickly shut my eyes waiting for her hand to land on my cheek but it never came. I opened my eyes and saw someone stretched out his hand and held her arm up in the air. I turned my gaze and found the person to be no other person but Jeremy. "Don't you dare lay your filthy hand on her or else.." he warn and shoved her hand downward. The whole students gasped in surprise at what happened, it was not what they expected. He shoved her off the way as we walked in hand in hand. I walked to the side meant for girls while he walked to the boys side. I sat down on the second row seat and just as if I was a leper, the three girls who was sitting there quickly jolted up and rushed to another seat making the whole students burst in laughter. "She has an awful smell" a voice sounded from behind and everyone except Jeremy and the instructor laughed loudly.. I was really embarrassed, I felt thoroughly ashamed of myself, their insults pierced my heart with pa
*** Anne’s POV *** Jeremy are you really serious?” I asked with an arched brow. Words can’t just explain how befuddled I am this moment, this is a school I came into by mere luck. I’m not rich or sophiscated.. every girls which are from rich background are here and they would love to be the girl to act that scene.. What would really be of me when they hears that “I” a mere hawker is the girl choose by Jeremy.. Omg!! This is ridiculous.. “Anne, I have been the guy acting that scene for a long time and I’ve been doing that with Sophia but this very time, I want it to be you and you alone” Jeremy said solemnly. “Who is that Sophia?” I asked anxiously, “She is my ex..” he replied scratching his head. “She is your ex? Where is she and please explain to me well, I’ve nothing and accepting you is a great risk to my life you know” I said peering into his sparkling eyes. “I am also taking a risk being with you” he breathed with his head resting on his palm. “Really.. h
*** Jeremy's POV *** "What do you boys think you are doing???" I barked with terror rushing at them with a blow, they all scrambled away in fear. I rushed to Anne who was writhing in pain on the floor, my heart ached, shudders filled my whole body as I stared at Anne. "Are you okay?" I asked slowly, my heart was really beating with pain. "Go and get me a new cloth please" she pleaded in a low tone, "Okay I'll be right back" I said and rushed out. I ran to the girls restroom with a great speed. immediately I entered, all the girls who were in there started rushing for their clothes to cover their nakedness. I just scoffed in disgust and brought out a new uniform from the cloth rack and ran back to the room where Anne is. I can't help but kept wondering why those boys tried raping Anne. I wished I had saw their face clearly, I would just put then behind the bar immediately. Oh gosh.. If I hadn't came earlier could it be that those boys would have raped her? Ug
