Chapter Nine: He gets me
༄𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥'𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰༄
I always thought I was a whore.Now I was convinced my dad was the bigger whore.
I can't believe he got someone pregnant.
How could he?. It hasn't even been a month since mom moved out and now this?!.
Henry Jumbo was a fucked up man. Mom left him because he couldn't keep it in his pants,and now he had made matters worse with the news of having a baby mama.
Fuck.
"Ukeme." The devil himself called. I halted,one step away from walking out the door. I glared at the door, folding my hands into a fist.
Go away!
"Esther is going to move in with us soon. I want you on your best behavior." I turned around,openly glaring at him.
He expects me to be okay with this?!His mistress/babymama moving in with us?
What the fuck!
"Don't you dare look at me like that,unless you want a slap this morning." He warned, narrowing his eyes at me. He looked angry. But oh,guess what, I don't give a flying fuck.
"She'll be here before the end of the week. Now get to school. You don't want to be late,now do you?." I refrained myself from glaring at him,and stormed out of the house, slamming the door shut on my way out. I could hear my father yelling from inside but I didn't stop walking. I hopped into the back seat of the silver highlander and slammed the door,a sour look on my face.
Mr Johnson stared at me through his mirror but didn't say a word. He turned on the ignition and drove out of my father's compound.
The ride to Daily Light college was short. I left the car and proceeded towards the school gate,not sparing the driver a glance back,or a farewell greeting. I walked into the main building with my hands dug into my trouser pockets. The entire building was buzzing with noise,and the day hadn't even started yet. By the time I got to my class, I met some of my friends at the back, busy with their phones.
Ayden noticed me first.
"Eyyy. My guyyy." The corner of my lip rose,and we both did the handshake we invented in Jss3.
"Okon just dey make mouth. E no sabi play shi shi!." Kamiye,one of my close friends,said laughing. Kamiye had his eyes glued to his phone,a wicked grin on his face and a look that shows he'd remembered something.
The rest of us, excluding one, joined in laughing.
"Baba just dey play rubbish yesterday." Ayden said, sending a teasing look to Erik. Erik had an annoyed look on his face as he rolled his eyes at us.
"Thank God he wasn't in my team. Na so I go just lose game five minutes to it starting." Another round of laughter.
"Can we drop it,please." Erik raised his voice over our laughter, looking both pissed and embarrassed. Aaron raised one of his hand in a surrender motion,his lips pressed together as he tried to contain his laughter.
The dude was boasting about how good he was at COD,but he was the first to lose.
Trust Kamiye and Ayden. They wouldn't seize the opportunity to tease him about it. Even if the rest of us forgot about Saturday, those two trouble makers definitely wouldn't.
I shook my head amusedly at them,then I went to sit at my desk. Chidera came to sit on my desk soon after, facing me with a sobered look.
"How far?" I sighed, already knowing what he was asking about.
"Guyy, he's bringing the mistress to move in with us. Like the fuck. He isn't even acting remorseful about this whole thing." I whispered harshly,not wanting anyone to hear us. Chidera was the only one who knew about my parents separation,and the shit that caused it.
Chidera had a shocked expression on his face,which slowly changed to annoyance.
"Seriously?. When did your mom move out that he's bringing her in?. Does your mom know?." I sighed, shaking my head no.
"She doesn't need to know shit. And plus,she won't care. She told me she and dad are were done for good. She already got a house in Ikeja and everything. She wants to move on."
Chidera sighed as well,then he placed a hand upon my shoulder. He looked at me with a smile that held pity. "Everything will be fine,Mikel." He consoled.
I'm not so sure anymore....
"All this shit will pass, don't worry." I bit the inside skin of my cheek,not answering. I gave him a smile of appreciation even though it didn't quite reach my eyes.
I had a lot of friends,but Chidera was the only one who actually got me. He was my best friend. My main man.
Not a lot of people understood our friendship. Chidera was the short tempered jerk in the eyes of everyone, while I was the goofball. The guy who was always smiling and joking around with everyone. He was a negative,and I was a positive. Well to hell with what people thought,cos this short tempered dick head understood me more than anyone else in this school.
He and Kinfe.
Kinfesioluwa Makinde was another misunderstood person I knew. She was recognized as the nonchallant and snappy type. No one actually cared to see beyond her hard girl hard girl facade. Just a few did.
I had known Kinfe since we were 10,and attending Daily Light primary school. We were never really close then,hell,we barely said two words to each other. But somehow, Kinfe and I built a friendship during SS2. We had been close friends ever since.
I loved that girl so much. She was like the sister I never had. Funny cos I was always calling her my wife.
Kinfe and Chidera were my closest friends. Though it bummed me that the two didn't get along. They were always arguing or insulting one another. It got super annoying most times. But other times it was entertaining.
The two acted like an old couple.
