Best Friend - Episode 20

 

WELCOME BACK GRACE I MISSED YOUR COMMENTS AND MOJISOLA TOO. WHERE IS FUNMI, PRETY AND OPEOLUWA? NO COMMENTS AGAIN? SORRY NO VEX I HAVE STARTED UPDATING FAST NOW OO YOU CAN COME BACK BIKO. Hehehehehe. 

Have you ever woken up feeling like you have lived a day before?? Some people call it déjà vu I think, well that's exactly how everyday felt ever since I met Chelsea, it felt like I time traveled to the past and my life was playing in front of me. It felt more so the day I saw Kunle from a distance trying to woe Chelsea, her body reaction showed she was not impressed which was the only reason I didn't go over to make a scene.

I thought of several ways to possibly handle this, I no longer doubted my dream or is it vision I should call it . A part of me still does not want to fight Kunle over a woman but this woman is special besides as the days passed the more I realized Kunle was capable of doing all those things I saw in my dream.
I decided to push all this aside and focus on my exams which was already here.

Read " Mistaken identity " by the same author ( OtseDavid )

. I closed my eyes took a deep breath and decided to try reading again when I got a call, I was pleased to see Chelsea as the caller.

"Hello good day Sir" came her beautiful sweet voice

"Hey Chelsea good day to you how are you?"

"Am OK, how is preparation for your exams?"

"Um honestly am finding it hard, I don't know why"

"Ouch that's bad, can I help?" she asked sounding concerned

"Ah thanks but I don't think there is much you can do don't worry I will be fine"

"Where are you? Are you alone? Can I come?" She was beginning to sound like my mom

. I removed the phone from my ear as if to make sure I heard right. 

Well how could I say no, I gave her my location and in no time she walked into the empty class i came to read in. She came with a sweet smile on her lips that was coloured pink to match the pink roses on her knee length body fitted gown. One look at her and I concluded within myself I wasn't reading any more who could read with such a beautiful distraction

"Good afternoon sir" she said still smiling seemingly pleased to see me

"Oh come on we talked about this no calling me sir my name is Fred stop making me feel old"

"Oh sorry my bad". She sharply replied moving her body from side to side like a nursery child reciting a poem.

She sat beside me trying to see what I was reading, the confused expression on her fore head showed she had no clue what it was about. I laughed, seeing her face, she just frowned more then laughed too.

" How about we take a walk, it helps clear your mind to read" she suggested and I obliged. We walked on the white corridors saying nothing then i remembered to ask 
"How about Tunde'?

" Timi is fine" she answered stressing the name I always mistook for Tunde, then she frowned and added "he had to travel and won't be coming back for a long time, he got admitted to study in South Africa "

"A fashion school in South Africa?" I asked now tensed.

"Yes how did you know that, I didn't say it was a fashion school" she asked

"Um just a lucky guess" I quickly said the first thing that came to mind

Oh my the dream was happening right before me, I scratched my head nervously wondering what next will confirm the dream is really the future. I was yet in this thought when a handsome young man with a familiar smile walked up to me and asked pointing at the office of Professor Ogbu.

"Hey bro afternoon sorry do you know if Prof is around".

"Nah I don't think so, he is usually not around by these time of the day"

"Oops that's bad, and he asked me to wait for him and its important"

"Then I suggest you wait he usually is a man of his words" I said

"OK thanks a lot, by the way my name is Dustan Frank and I must say you have a very beautiful friend."

"Yea thanks bye" I said as I gently pushed Chelsea for us to go

Why a sudden fear struck me I didn't know but the worry was clearly on my face

"Are you okay, you seem very woried" came Chelseas voice that seemed to calm the storm in my troubled mind.

"Am fine" I replied absent mindedly

"No you are not and I think whatever is bugging you is the same thing stopping you from reading, would you like to share?

" You wouldn't even believe me if I told you"

"Why don't you try me"

We sat under a tree at one of the rest point by the side of the building, I didn't know why I felt so free with her, and trusting her enough to tell her anything even though my instincts kicked against it.

"Well I don't know how to put this, have you ever felt like you have lived through a day before?" I said looking at space

"Yeah sure its Déjà vu, everyone has that" she replied not seeing anything strange with that.

"Um I..I... feel like we have met before, even that guy we just met Dustan and your friend too Tunde, Timi I mean"

"Wow okay that's kind of strange"

I told her everything not missing a single thing I dreamt. The look on her face was scary, she was shocked to the bones. I waited for her to say something, anything but she said nothing and I knew I had scared her off.
