CHAPTER 12
MAGEDELENE'S POV
A message chimes in on Magedelene phone, it was an Email from the school, stating that " All students, should all endeavour to make it to school today, no excuses allowed".
She quickly voice calls Amanda " Yo babes, did you get the school Email".
Amanda quickly responds" Yeah, am packing up my things to leave the Restaurant soon, any idea on what it's about".
"I don't know, but I checked the group, i think we should all go with our credentials". Magedelene says over the call, as she starts packing up her drawing materials away.
"I don't know when I'll make it to school, would you wait for me to come pick up?." Amanda paces towards her car
" No, I can't wait, it's better I go first, and I'll give you the news, if it's worth you coming over". Magedelene scanning her wardrobe,on what to wear.
" You're the best bae, I'll text you later all right" Amanda breathe a sigh of relief on the line. Magedelene responds and the phone goes off.
After second guessing on her wardrobe, she handpicks a gown, puts it on, applies her hair gel and her lip gloss and packs all of her school credentials.
Arriving at the school, the venue was already picked, she went down there joining the queue that was already formed, On getting there, she saw Philip with his friends who were chatting,
There was something about his energy today, It was off, she was contemplating going there when she saw a fair skinned, tall girl walked towards them.
She swears to herself she have seen the girl's face around Campus, then the recollection starts coming in, "It Maya, one of the most CCP fresher in college right now". She mutters out loud.
It was the way she hugs Philip,in a way she perceives off, she hugs the other guys, but the way she hugs him was different.
She felt a sting in her heart " Nope it can't be what am feeling right now". She knew what that meant " I can't be jealous, it was just a kiss nothing else".
Their eyes meet, he waves towards her smiling. She didn't return the wave, she couldn't. 'Who waves at someone they kiss'.:
She quickly averted her face to her phone, remembering Amanda who had drop her a message asking if she should be on her way.
she responds "Babes, don't stress it okay, you can come tomorrow with your credentials, they are already scheduling some student for tomorrow".
She looks at Philip's direction, he wasn't there anymore. She looks at the queue,it was getting close to her turn. She looks around again, she didn't find him.
It was her turn, they drops her credentials, writes her name down and leaves.
She decides to stick around, Incase any information comes up and maybe if she sees Philip around, she would just tell him she was getting her groove back.
She sights him again, still with his friends and Maya. She goes over to him, she has to, the kiss meant nothing to her, if he was feeling guilty about it because of his girlfriend Maya. She didn't care.
She goes over to him, his energy was still off, she notices as he braces himself up. Maya still sitting close to him.
"Hi Philip, what's up with you". She asks and also waving Hi to his friends and Maya too.
His friends and Maya giving them privacy, Maya was a bit hesitant to leave, Jay drags her along gently
Philip looks up at her "Sorry I have been MIA since the Gallery". Tries to give her a smile
Magedelene raises her brow at him " You mean since after the kiss, right".
Philip looks at her with his eye wide " I am so sorry about that".
She notices he wasn't flashing her smiles, like he used to before the kiss. She heaves a deep breath pushing her thoughts away.
" I just want to say, my ideas are popping in once again and I have you to thank for that". She says as she paves way for a guy passing with a big trolley, the person must be a fresher like herself.
She turns her attention to Philip,
" You still had it in you, you just needed a little push". He flashes her a warm smile. She forgot she was pissed at him for a second
Maya comes towards Philip, touching him gently on his shoulder as she hands over his phone to him " She has been calling, I really don't know what to say to her".
Who was Maya to him, for her to be in possession of his phone, for her to be all over him like that. She has embarrassed herself too much ..
She quickly mutters 'Bye' to him, she turns her back, moving away from them, When she hears Philip saying " wait ...please..". She didn't look back, infact she ignores him.
She goes over to a class, checks her phone, as she had gotten a sticker message from Amanda, it was thanks for saving me today sticker.
She brings out her ipad, the only way this anger that was already boiling in her could disappear was by drawing it out..
She did some few sketches on her ipad, it came out nice, before she could press the send button on her Instagram page for her clients. She heard a voice behind her which startles her.
She turns her head sideways, it was from this tall athletic guy look at her sketches
"Hi, I am Sam, sorry for startling you this way". He smiles as she speaks, this time he looks her in the eyes, putting his hands forwards.
Was she startled, or was she looking at this fine creature Infront of her.
" I am Magedelene" shaking his hands, then she looks at him closer, he was the guy who passed with the trolley
" I am fresher here, but as I bumped into this masterpiece". His eyes on her sketches again.
Magedelene waiting for him to finish his sentence. " She has heard countless time her paintings, sketches being called masterpiece".
" I am interested in your work, and I will like to be in touch with you concerning your sketches"
" How am I sure you're real". She raises her eyebrow in a questioning way.
" Oh sorry about that, here is my card". He hands her the card as she looks at it
"This particular sketch, could you keep this for me, don't sell it out yet". He points at the sketch, he pauses looking at sketch then continues
" Do you work for a company, Because my company would like to work for your company". Sam asks as she looks at him
As she was about to say she works alone, she heard a familiar voice ,
it was from Philip.
What the hell does he want?, after the whole thing he did back there, waiving at her, then disappearing and acting like they didn't kiss.
" Yes, she works with me, I am Philip and you say you're? ".giving Sam his hands to shake.
" So, I am Sam, I buy her kind of Art," Sam handing his card to Philip. He looks over to Magedelene confirming if Philip works with her.
Magedelene looking at him with a confused face, Sam took that as a Yes.
" Please contact me, so we can talk further". He says as he trolls away.
As Sam leaves, she looks over to Philip who was going through the card
" What the hell are you doing" she's almost screaming.
