Slowly she washed her face trying to wave Tiger’s murderous face off her mind. She looked up at the mirror, her eyes were swollen. Mtchew! Maybe… “Betty?” Jay-Jay called her she froze, “Where’s this girl?” she quickly wiped her face and ran out. “There you are! How was your night?” he asked dropping a polythene bag on the table . “Good morning” she sat down “uhm…your eyes are swollen, you cried alot yesterday..” he squatted beside her “wanna talk about it?” he continued. She shook her head. “okay” he sighed pulling the polythene bag towards him. He brought out a flask, bread, butter and boiled eggs.“breakfast” he told her standing up to get a rug.


Gently he served her while she ate. “You have lectures today?” he asked, she nodded. “Eat up let me take back to school.” he sounded like a father, she wanted to laugh but kept a straight face. Betty was walking as fast as her legs could carry her.


Emeka too was running after her. Why was he
following anyway, can’t he just leave her
alone?
Mtchew! “Please Betty…” emeka pleaded
holding her arm. “what’s it?” she glared at
him “please I’m sorry, I swear I didn’t mean to
hurt you by
those words” he sounded desperate. “hmmn,
I’ve heard, you didn’t mean those words but
you said them? I thought you were a friend”
she
started walking away “But I love you” He
screamed after her. She stopped in her track,
her heart racing fast, did he
just say those words to her? A crowd of
students began to gather.


“Please baby, I truly love you, I wouldn’t hurt you”


Emeka was now on his knees. “gosh! Please stand up” she was nervous “forgive me” he pleaded “I forgive you, please stand up, we’re creating a scene” her voice was shaky. He stood up gently “thanks you.” he was searching her eyes “I love you too” she said quitely, those tears were welling up again. They hugged each other warmly and the crowd of student clapped and cheered.“ehen! See love nwantiti!” a plump girl exclaimed before walking off, the crowd began to disperse. “That was the most romantic display, I’ve ever seen” it was Chuks. “ol’boy I feel you!” Chisom exclaimed “HI” Betty was grinning widely “Nwa oma, I never knew Romeo and Juliet were still alive” Chuks chuckled. Oh yes! She felt fulfilled, at least.

“This calls for a celebration” Edith said from behindthem. Betty hugged her. “yes”chuks and chisom chorused. “I guess sahara sweets will do” Edith suggested and they all moved towards Emeka’s car. Betty’s phone rang, it was a text message, she opened it… “Hey little sis, I saw that episode, I never knew you were that romantic…that was lovely, right now ama pop champagne with my guys. I’ll call ya later. Take kia and Enjoy! Jay-Jay” She smiled, Jay-Jay saw it too…G-gal can go hell and burn to ash, she doesn’t care.


Students were crowded round the notice board
close
to the faculty of sciences building, Betty and Edith
were among them. Their end of semester result have
just being place. Betty got a second class upper, but a course
was ticked absent, she gasped. “how comes?” Edith
asked “don’t know…but i wrote the exam” Betty sounded
confused. Edith thought for a while..
“Errm, come, let’s go to see the lecturer.” she
suggested. “what are you gonna do?” ” never
mind, come with me.” Edith said taking her
hands. The lecturer was a female. Mrs Okoro.
“Good afternoon ma” they both chorused “How
may I help you?” mrs Okoro asked without
looking up. “our statement of result says Betty
Amah, was absent
during your exams” Edith started. “So?” “she
wasn’t absent, she wrote the exams.” Edith’s
voice was rising now. ” Who knows, maybe her
paper got missing” Mrs
okoro replied eyeing Betty. “That paper isn’t
missing, we need to see her
booklet” Edith snapped.


Betty gasped- Edith’s gat the liver “Listen girls, leave my office before I get provoked. Don’t you have manners?” Mrs Okoro was visibly angry now. “listen madam!” Edith was smiling “It seems you don’t know who Betty Amah is..” edith moved towards the table “have you heard of Jay-Jay before?” she continued. Mrs Okoro glanced at Betty, then at Edith “Yes.” she said quitely. “Good, and hope you know what he can do when you tamper with his affairs? I guess you love your life”

Edith wore a triumphant look. Mrs Okoro looked frightened. Edith and Betty madeto leave. “Wait please” Mrs Okoro’s voice was shaky. “I have the scripts here” she said opening her locker. “Oh..” Edith smiled mischievously. “She had an ‘A’, I’m sorry” Mrs Okoro was visibly scared. “So why did you hide it?” Edith asked “I…I..was paid by Gloria; G-gal” edith laughed.

Betty gasped. “anyway, thats your headache, amend every thing soon, go to the exams senate, I want everything cleared by nextweek” Edith ordered. “I promise” Mrs Okoro said slowly. Betty and Edith left the office happily. “What’s up with this G-gal?” Betty queried, “Don’t mind her, we’l handle her, atleast, we can use Jay-Jay’s name” Edith chuckled. “hmmn” “cmon cheer up girlie! Let’s talk about something better errm…let’s talk about Emeka!” Edith wanted to make her happy. Betty laughed at the mention of Emeka’s name, yea, it alwaays makes her happy.
