Chap 18

BERNARD'S POV.....

"You want Fred, right?"

"Yeah..... so?" she asked, staring at me.

"You know, err... Zizi. she hasn't gotten over him yet and I hope you don't wanna lose him?" I asked.

"So..... go straight to the point" she said, giving me her undivided attention.

"Let's team up! you want Fred and I want Zizi! simple! lets make them fall out of love for each other... are you getting me? let's make them get over their breakup. so we'll like, cheer them up and stuffs..." I said with a shrug, giving her the look of "you-know-what-I-mean".

"Ok! count me in."

"yes!" I exclaimed, making some really cute dance, as Ann giggled.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU LIKE ME.

With that she left.

What's on your mind?

How was I able to come to school today?

Ok...Ok.... listen.

Dad doesn't have much time for me cause as a politician, he's loaded with lots of work. but that doesn't mean he'd not pamper...I got everything I wanted.... anything. and now I want Zikora... yes, Zikora.

"Dad, I want to have a three minutes talk with you!"

"son, I'm busy!" Dad replied, going through his files in his study room.

"its important!"

"what do you want? cars? phone? house? what?"

"None! Dad I'm sorry.... I've been suspended for a week!" I said, hanging my head in shame.

"What? what did you do?" he said, tilting his head to my direction, looking serious.

"I got into a fight! Dad please.... I'm sorry! please we have exams on Friday.... please do something..." I pleaded genuinely from the heart.

"Ok, son.... I'll see your principal by tomorrow or I'll call him now, happy?" he said, his focus on his laptop.

"one more thing!" I said, maybe fidgeting.

"uhmm?"

"Dad please... concur,Ok?"

"if its pleasing to my hearing!" his focus still on his laptop.

"I'd be organizing a party here, please... I've invited all my friends and I've also called the party organizers... please? please! I love you.... please..." I begged.

He frowned.

OK? PLEASE SAY IT!

He looked around the study room, stood up and left..

YES! YES! YES! THAT WAS A YES FROM DAD!

PRESENTLY,

And that's why I'm here in school, today.

surprisingly, Fred was in school too. I walked into the class.. Ann was chit chatting with uninterested Fred who was either giving her a "yes" or a "no" or a "maybe" as an answer. then my gaze feel upon no one else but Zikora. she was sending icy glares at Ann, but all the same was pretending to be reading her book.

I cleared my throat and went on top of my desk and started....

"Now listen up guys, err...I got something to tell you about the party."

Everyone's Attention were centered on me, even the blabbering Ann and her white loser, Fred were staring at me.

"Ok! its about the party, Now girls listen! are you listening girls?" I asked, giving way for curiosity in the heart of my listeners.

"yes! yes!" Ann's voice was loud and clear.

"ok....err.... listen" I paused dramatically, literally fanning myself.

"Bernard, continue or I'll spank you!" Zainab cried.

"Bernard! stop! just speak or we'll hit you!" all the girls howled.

*CLEARS MY THROAT* I WAS BEEN TREATED LIKE A PRINCE.

"Ok, girls will go on a pink and white dress today."

Now there was murmuring among the girls. one of them stood up, by name Rachael, our biggest, wealthy playgirl in school.

"No,I disagree! we're going on a red dress. if not.. were aren't coming?" see protested, her folded hands on her chest.

"yes, we are with her! we ain't babies anymore. we don't wear pink anymore!" Anna protested.

I stared at Zikora, she wasn't even listening. she was staring at Ann. I signalled to Ann to break their stare. she adhered by giving Fred a peck on the cheek. I could see the anger in Zikora's face as she turned to my direction.

"Ok! Zikora, what do you think?" I asked.

"I don't know!"she said, her voice laced with anger.

"Ok, girls are coming on red only!"

"yes! yes!" everyone screamed.

The Boys were all staring, as the girls laughed, hugged, pecked and head shook each other in happiness.

"Ok, for the boys?" I asked.

"let's go on a dark blue out black top and a Jean trouser" Noah suggested.

All The boys agreed as they kicked, hit, slapped and punched each other on the chest and face.

THAT WAS ROUGH RIGHT! BOYS AND THEIR ROUGH....

"Now who hit me?" I screamed.

"bros,I did!" Kingsley admitted, dancing add jumping.

"now why are you guys, overexcited?" Zikora screamed, staring at them.

"When you guys were shouting, did we talk? now let's rejoice!" Sam screamed in happiness running round Zizi teasing her.

I was electrically charged-literally speaking.

smokes were literally blowing out of my eyes and ears.

"Sam! leave me!" Zikora screamed, putting behind her ear,a strand of her hair.

"No! I won't!" he said, pulling her hair.

Before I knew anything, Fred and I were beating up Sam.

"Hey, Fred leave him! I'll deal with me!" I screamed.

"No! I took him first" Fred yelled back.

"Fred, she's my girlfriend. so I'll defend her!" I blurted.

Fred so strong headed, he was screaming, yelling and shouting of the consequences of touching Zikora.

HEY, FRED MIGHT BE WINNING ZIKORA'S HEART! I NEEDED TO ACT AND FAST!

I took Sam shouted, yelled and screamed.

But Fred was angrily shouting at me!

We howled and howled until Zikora stood up from the student seat and went out of the class.

I followed her immediately, same with Fred.

GOD, WHY DID YOU JUST CREATE FRED? HE'S SUCH A PEST!

I pushed him and he pushed me as we both raced towards Zikora who was running towards the gym.

I HAD TO STOP FRED, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I ran faster and stood in his way, shouting.

"Fred! go back!"

"you go back! you scoundrel!"

"No, you go back!"

"Just get out of my way!" Fred snarled.

THANK GOD! ALL TEACHERS WENT FOR THEIR PTA MEETING!

So no one could see or hear us.

He Pushed me down and raced towards the door in full speed as he caught up with Zikora.

OH NO! HEY, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT SOUND?

I looked at the direction from which the sound came from and saw Fred been pushed from the gym and the door slamming right before him.

Everyone was staring at us.

I broke into a wild laughter! he was been slapped by Zikora. I laughed and laughed.
