I sat beside Tunde in class during break as I knew he normally stayed back to study, he glanced at me then continued writing, I swallowed and kept my bag beside me, cleaning my sweaty palms on my skirts.
  I had decided to talk to him myself to settle whatever misunderstanding he was having with us being together, and clear the illusions that we might get back together...
"I'm sorry. ." I began"I didn't plan for this to happen..but it did..and I ..I'm sorry"
"No you're not, you prefer to frolick with the likes of him, them low lives with no future"he spat
I paused at how bitter he really was"whatever you may think Tunde, I fell in love with him..."
He chuckled"What do you know about that uh?" he asked as he looked at me
"We were together for two years, you claiming you loved me, now your on to the next plaything"
"It didn't happen like that, I never had any intention  of leaving you."
"But you left me Sade, we had issues yes but we could have worked them out...I have no intention of letting you go, especially not to him"
"What do you have so much against him?" I asked
"Everything, the fact that he dared to look at what belongs to me"
I felt an incoming headache
"I'm not a plaything you can just fight over Tunde, its over, I just came to talk to you to make it clear"I stood up
He stared at me"are you serious? "
"Yes"
"You rather spend the rest of your life with a pauper?"
I paused "you don't know that, Christian is hardworking and honest, whatever he is now may not be for ever"
He chuckled then looked at me
"I hope when you get back to your senses it won't be too late" he said, I stared at him then 
"Please no more pointless fighting" I walked to the classroom door when he said
"I'd be glad to hear what  your father would have to say about this"I turned to look at him then walked out.
****
After then I just didn't care, Christian and I walked around and did things together in school, everyone now knew we were dating and most called me a bacstabber behind my back I knew it was plain jealousy...plus I was just so in love...
"Its been long I saw Rachel? "I said as we walked out after school
"Oh she went to my aunts to spend the holidays after her exams, she lives in PH" he paused "no one wanted anything to do with us till my mother was late"he said sadly
"People feel showing care gives them the virus"I said, he looked at me then pulled me suddenly to him
"Thanks for being such a blessing"
I chuckled "I know rii.." I said gazing into his eyes ..
"Hey guys..." Rosemary came and interrupted"thought we going to your house for homework?"she asked
I remembered "oh yeah" I looked at Christian "you wanna come?"
"Uh, I have to do something for my uncle...but I ll call you"he said, pecked me and left
"Alrii..." I said
We both stared after him...
"He's so hot. you get all the hot guys"
"I know rii....let's go"
We got into my house and discovered my father was back
"Hey Dad...", he looked at us from the cushion where he was seated reading a paper
"How was school?" He asked us after a glance
"Fine"

We went into the house to my room and started up the assignment
"So what did Tunde say?" She asked
"What?"
"You said you were going to talk to him"
"Well yes I did, he was still bitter but I hope he doesn't pick up any stupid fights with Christain again"
"Hmm" she chewed on her pen
"So are you gonna come to our house weekend for my brothers birthday party?"
"Uh?, I have to go visit my aunt

. besides you know how its gonna be like"
"What do you mean?"
"No judging but your brother is not really a good guy to hang with"
"Solomon got his vices but hes a good guy, besides hes not so different from Christian is he?"
I stared ahead thinking about how I wasn't in the right position to judge 
"I ll come by your house later" I said
She tsked and continued writing but I stared ahead wondering if I was being biased with Christian because I loved him.

I went instead to see my aunt Lisa that saturday and we watched Mikel play with his motorbike
"He's growing up so fast" I said, when was he born here?
"I know ,he's my pride and joy, " she stood up "Come on let's go bake now you're here, I thought you had something better to do than spend time with your favorite auntie" she said as we got to the kitchen, that was what I had told her last weekend
"I was just busy, even today I had Solomon's birthday party to attend but I preferred to be here"
" Solomon?"
"Rose's elder brother"
"Oh, thought you got a new boyfriend"
I realised I hadn't told her about Christian, well that was because I was wondering if she would accept him, if my family would
"I have a boyfriend who's  not Solomon" I said, she turned round to look at me
"That was fast..so soon after Tunde, who's he?".
She actually had met him but I didn't tell her that, though Christian had since stopped the mechanic work when his uncle took them in
" His name is Christian, and I think I'm in love with him"
She turned back to getting the items
"You so young, you keep changing boys, well is he in your class, how did you both meet, that was quite fast after Tunde"
"Hes in my class"I said
"Wow, Tunde must feel really bad..hope you're happy"
"I am .." I said, she had liked Tunde because he had been a charmer, I knew she would like Christian because he was more amazing, she suddenly turned to look at me and gave me a look"hope you're still a virgin"
I blushed crimson
"Auntie...yes"
"Uhuh"she turned back around" I want to meet him, when can I meet him?"
"Really.." She d surely remember he was from the mechanics "auntie hes incredibly shy"
"Well if he has to date my fav niece we have to meet" she started mixing things and I frowned, what was she going to say when she found out he was the boy from the mechanics, I bit my lip nervously
"Lest I forget, we have an invitation from the Baloguns, they want us to be there for their daughter's naming, maybe you should bring him, so he can meet the family.."
I froze"uh.."
Why was he meeting the family, it wasn't as if we were going to start planning a wedding, I began to sweat
"Uh sure.." Why did I have to tell her I had a boyfriend...?!
******
