zurie's encounter with the strange boy
" meanwhile where are you off to ? " Zurie asked Harley
Harley gave her a disappointed look.
" C'mon don't give me that look Harley, what have I done wrong ? Did I say something wrong ? " zurie said with a smirk
" You were supposed to accompany to my dance class! What kind of a friend forgets her friends schedule ? " Harley asked sulking
" Oh Harley ! " Zurie exclaimed, smacking her head lightly
" Please do not say no to me right now " Harley pleaded.
" I totally forgot about your dance class, you start off today ? " Zurie asked aloud as if trying to remember something
" Zurie I am so nervous, I hear they have good dancers there, and alot of snubs as well... I want you to be there with me, staring at you at the corners will give me some confidence, please do not say no. " Harley pleaded with her eyes closed and her hands clasped tightly together.
" Yeah I hear it is really a good place to harness one's talent. Lucky you little princess, you have got parents that has enough finances to sponsor your dreams. I wish I had such kind of luxury most times, Harley it feels so sad waking up each time in this hole we call a house. I cannot wait to buy my mother a new house. She has totally lost it, I fear for the raining seasons, it's not going to be funny on us, the ceiling is so bad that it leaks when the rain comes. It's really sad Harley. I really wished I could be like you ! " Zurie said totally diverting from the subject matter
" Awwwwwww zurie ( Harley was drawn with compassion ) don't worry, youd be fine. Your only limitation will come when you decide to quit. That is why I told you never to back down on the contest, not when it us so glaring that you are going to come out the regional winner, who knows you could become the state winner soon enough. And I am always here Zurie, you can lean on me. Come here " Harley drew her to her self, as they exchanged a warm hug.
After couple of minutes,
" Zurie I am going be late ( Harley released her from the hug, looking directly into her eyes ) what would it be, are you coming with me ? " She asked again for the second time.
" Harley... ( Zurie stressed ) the thing is I promised Terry I'd come watch his team in their final basketball games today. He would feel so sad if I don't go " zurie dropped
" Traitor ! ( Harley snapped, smacking Zurie on her head lightly ) zurie you are willing to go watch a crushs' game over your best friends first day at her dance class ? ( She asked teasingly ) or is there something you're not telling me yet ? ( She winked at zurie, zurie gave a shy smile ) c'mon zurie are you dating Terry ? " Harley asked and fell quiet.
" Well... ( Zurie started sluggishly ) I decided to give him a try ( zurie spoke almost in a whisper ) we met at the archive the other day, when I went to look out some good books that had relationship with this new novel I am writing for the contest, he also came to get books for his project at school. He held me down Harley. I didn't have a choice. Besides I like him too ( zurie smiled again, she was visibly drooling ) guess what ? " She asked Harley , who just kept looking at her friend speak so nicely of a guy
" I had the best first kiss ever Harley. You cannot imagine what it felt like. He literally swept me off my feet. Heavenly! " Zurie put out, obviously in love.
" He swept me off my feet ( Harley mimicked teasingly ) zurie if you weren't my best friend, I wouldn't have forgiven you. I was the one who had been telling you to give this guy a chance all the while, when were you planning to tell me you both had started seeing each other ? Zurie you're so mean ! " Harley said faking a fume
" C'mon Harley I wanted to make it a premium gist, I wanted to tell you over a nice meal or at the park, not this hole we live in. ( Zurie rolled her eyes around her room ) Besides it was just the day before yesterday that I actually accepted to be his girlfriend. I hadn't seen you since then. ( Harley wouldn't still smile ) okay her royal majesty, I am very sorry for not paying homage at the time appropriate, please be compassionate on your subject " Zurie pleaded playfully.
" ( Harley bursted into an expected laughter ) you clown! I am so happy you're finally getting to fall inlove Zurie, it feel so good. " Harley said in so much excitement
" Have you guys been down there ( zurie made a face ) c'mon I mean sex silly ? " Harley said in a whisper
" Well I am not as spoilt as you are Harley Lorenzo! ( Zurie yelled ) it's just and has been only a kiss, ( she said in a whisper, trying to act like Harley ) and for now it's going to be just that way. I am not ready to loose my virginity Harley, I heard it's quite scary. " Zurie said making a face
" You're such a baby zurie " Harley laughed.
" But please zurie come with me, don't worry I'd accompany you to his game as well, except that we'd be a little bit late, but please do not allow me go to that place alone on my first day, please zurie " Harley pleaded some more
" Okay ! Do not choke me up with your pleadings. " Zurie said.
Harley hugged her excitedly
" But I do not have anything to wear " zurie said making a face again.
" You just go take your bath, I will help you with sorting that out, there must be something nice in there " Harley said pointing at zurie's bag of clothes.
" You sure have a way of being a pest, Harley. "Zurie said curling back into the bed.
Harley dragged her up, pushed her into the bathroom and closed the door. The girls laughed at each others pranks...
****************
Zurie sat quietly full of smiles, watching Harley dance from a distance. Harley wasn't performing so badly for a first day. Zurie was very proud to watch her friend make such amazing moves.
" Zurie " she heard someone call her name
Zurie turned, there was no one. She stared for something, looking very startled then turned to continue watching Harley.
" Zurie come ! " A small boy stood and called from some distance away from her. Zurie stood up with mixed feelings. She wondered within her who the boy was. As she stood up the boy turned and began to walk away, zurie walked after him trying to catch up.
" Wait " zurie said after him.
The boy stopped all of a sudden as they got to a secluded part of the building. He transmigrated into a beautiful lady. She was the same person zurie had seen in her dreams
" Arrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhgg ! " Zurie screamed and passed out.
