19__Battle Blacky
"Hey, is everything alright?" seeing Habibah leaving the hall when the perfect part was on watch, Momo knew that something was wrong with her.
"No am ok, just am a bit tired that's all."Habibah forced a smile on her face.
"If that's so then have some rest I guess." Momo had to let her be anyway though she refused to tell her what was up with her.
"Will you join the after mimes party with me? It's going to be fun anyways?" Momo really hated it when Habibah was troubled by something that she failed to talk about, she was worried about her seriously.
"I don't know but maybe I will join you guys after having some rest." Habibah climbed her bed to have some rest.
"Are you really fine, or should I stay with you here while you resting!" Momo insisted, she wanted to know what was bothering Habibah.
"I said am fine. Just leave I want to have some sleep. Are we good here?" What was wrong with this girl, someone says they want to have some rest but still have no piece of mind, what's wrong with her!
"Ok, I will leave you rest then" Habibah sighed after Momo leaving before she hid her whole body inside the sheets.

"You really mashed it up just then, the whole audience gone crazy about your performance with Klara. It was a good one from all of your performances." Job walked besides Kevan as they moved from the stage to the male dressing room.
"It was nothing man don't make it a big deal" Kevan sat on the coach and started to remove his shoes first.
"It was nothing! As if you just don't know who you were dancing with. It is Klara who we are talking about right now." Job looked at Kevan waiting for him to get what he was talking a about.
"Yeah I already know who we are talking about but to me, dancing with her is no big deal. Though she is beautiful, I have nothing in brain more than friendship with her." Kevan tried to make things right.
"Your kidding, right!" To Job, this had to be a bluff.
"Ok, lets assume. She comes to you one day and she tells you that she has feeling for you, feelings more than friendship. What will you do then?" Job asked. This question made Kevan raise his head up in surprise, at first he thought that Job was just bluffing but the looks if reality on his face, Kevan sighed.
"Seriously, you really think shit like that can happen? You've got to be kidding me!" Kevan was now less interested in Job's conversation so he turned his attention on changing into a new set of clothes before he headed to the exit door of the male's dressing room.
Job held Kevan by the hand forcing Kevan look back at his very serious face "You really have to know the answer to that question, am good at making research so don't think it was a joke bro" Job then let go of Kevan's hand before leaving the male's dressing room first.
Moving outside, he accidentally bumped into someone just by the doorway.
"Sorry, I did not know..." Job couldn't finish his words because of what was in front of him.
"Sorry, I was...just..I..." Klara was looking for Ken when he found the chat between him and Job so she decided to wait outside and listen to whatever they said. It was impolite to spy on someone but she really had that bad timing so she also had nothing to do about it because at times it concerned her so she had to take that opportunity to help her know who was good or bad to her.
It was worse this time because she found out that she was really hurt to know that in Kevan's heart, she was nothing more than a friend.
'If he knew that kind of place be owned inside my heart, will he still say the same thing?'.
Kevan's arrival from the male's room made Klara remember that she was caught spying on someone.
"Klara!" Kevan was speechless when he took notice of Klara. It would have been someone else but not Klara exactly not now.
"Kevan, I...I wanted to..." talk?" seeing Klara still not in position of finishing her sentence, Kevan tried to help her out.
"Yeah, just a talk if you have some time. Hope you do?" Klara collected her mind together finally.
"I really.." "Of course he does, he is mob free got nothing to do. I guess he is all yours" Job interrupted Kevan before him hesitating.
"Give me that bag, I will help you take it to the dorm" taking the bag from Kevan's back still before his approval, Job walked away leaving the two of the behind.

"Sorry about back then, me and Job did not mean to gossip about you. Its not a boy's thing at all, trust me on that." Kevan apologised to Klara while walking along the compound. He was really ashamed of his manners just then.
"No its not your fault at all, it was my bad anyway spying on you is the last thing I wanted to do" Klara replied helplessly.
"So you wanted to tell me something or you just wanted to have a talk with me?" Kevan changed the conversation to the main point.
"Just wanted to ask if you have a date for the after mimes party" Klara was embarrassed asking a guy to be her date on a party was something she has never done before.
Seeing Klara in this condition, talking while looking down embarrassedly, Kevan felt awkward.
'I really don't want to get so close to this girl, but still I don't feel like disappointing her.'
"Looking for a date pretty girl? I saw you break your back on the dance floor recently. I am a perfect match, don't you think?" a very big a perfect explanation of fat and black guy came from the back. You would think that this guy had a connection between him and darkness according to his body color.
He was dark skinned, fat but surprisingly he was not ugly as I expected though I thought him and Klara made nothing like a perfect match as he said.
"Haha.." thinking about perfect match, I couldn't help but laugh before I held my laughter remembering what mom said "never laugh at the disabled, non of them wanted to be in that condition."
"Don't mess around, he is Blacky the champ of the schools' community title this year" Klara knew Kevan's mannerless behaviour so she warned him before he did anything stupid.
Hearing what Klara just said, Kevan couldn't mind his mother's teachings anymore so he laughed out loud this time uncontrollably raiding up his left hand as an apology while his right hand helped him rest on his right knee bending a bit because of his unbearable happiness.
"If I were you, I would have found a reason to why I'm laughing in this situation. Why not listen to that pretty yummy next to you before you force the champ kick your ass kid." Blacky was wondering why this kid was laughing disrespectfully in his presence.
"So you can't speak, you feel like turning your happiness to sadness" Blacky barked at Kevan who was saying nothing but laughing like a damn.
"Sorry, its just that this friend of mine likes bluffing. She really lacks manners but I will try to help her get some manners anyway so fur now nevermind her. We will be leaving first.." Kevan said all this still holding a lot of happiness inside his heart. This fellow was this fat and old yet he won the boxing championships of last year, this was a complete bluff.
"Walking away from me when am not done with you! Are you asking to die" Blacky was unpleased with them showing their back to him. He was even about to spat blood.
"Ohhh, so you still have some business with us?" Kevan turned around emotionlessly speaking.
"Are the one who beat up Jero?" Blacky was now furious with a serious look on his face. The crowd knowing that something is about to happen ounce again, no one wanted to miss this crazy fight between the champ and Kevan. Many of them knew already that Kevan was no joking matter despite him being so young.
"You just got the wrong guy anyway, I even don't know who that Jero is so what makes you think that am even capable of beating someone." Kevan knew his looks made people think that he was capable of doing nothing like a fight of versing two people both older than him. No one could accept that or else they were around.
"Are you not the one who fought two people recently by ambushing the strongest first and after taking advantage if the fight, you even stole their money before dragging them out of the school. Is the school yours or something?" Blacky walked two steps in front of Kevan.
"You really have keen eyes to see how one person ambushes two people. Your being stupid and I don't think that it suits your size old fart." Kevan was not afraid of fighting two people, what right did this old fart had to talk to him any how he wanted. Was he asking for it?

"This fellow really keeps on surprising me with his troubled fate. If he doesn't look for trouble, trouble looks for him but this kind of trouble that he put himself in is the finest" Sarz as usual was around talking to Kinetic who was crossing his hands over his chest as usual.
"He puts himself in trouble but he always gets out of it, no matter the depth of it. What I can only say is that this kid is cursed maybe" Kinetic shook his head not knowing what was wrong with this kid.
"You really think that he will get out of this shit this time? I bet he will lose completely to a heavy injury by Blacky's fight." Sarz wanted to place a bet there and then.
"50k for DK's win, 20k for Blacky's heavy injury." Kinetic was really sure that Kevan could win against Blacky. In simple terms he meant that, Kevan can also win Eddie in a head on fight just like what Blacky did last year. This was a complete bluff.
"Bro are you serious?" Sarz could't believe his ears. Thus had to be a complete bluff. How can Ken win over Eddie, the senior student who versed Blacky last year for the senior student title and lost to Blacky by Blacky's lethal brow.
