My Smile - Episode 8

 

*Two Hours After The Break-up*

That whole afternoon was hard for me. I had itunuoluwa in almost all my classes. she kept staring at me, but I avoided his gaze. I was torn up inside, and I was about to break any second soon. I just hopped I didn't break in front of her. I seriously hated Rebecca right now. If she didn't drug me none of this would be happening . If I didn't meet her that would of been better.

We were half way through English class, when the teacher decided to give us a project and assign us partners. She went through her list of names calling students that were paired together. Boys with girls. When she got to my name I stiffened. "Danny and ...." was all she said before she said the name that I desperately hopped I wouldn't hear. itunuoluwa's

"You guys may now get with your partners, and discuss what you guys would like to do together for your English assignment." I just continued to sit at my seat, and didn't move a muscle. itunuoluwa got up, and walked to me. She say in the seat in front of mine. I didn't make eye contact with her when she sat down. There was an awkward silence between us for about 5 minutes, then she finally spoke. "So, what do you want to do for the project?" I looked at her, and did my best not to show that I was heart broken inside.

"Hmm, I'm not sure

. I was thinking about maybe doing an info-graphic, but a 3D type about something that we both hold interest to." itunuoluwa started to think of all the possibilities that we had in common. she listed them. They ranged from Music, to friendship. What she said last made me jump. LOVE. I looked at her for two second then looked away.

"itunuoluwa were are over, stop talking about stuff like that" I said that through clenched teeth. "Danny please just answer some of my questions. I really want to know what happened yesterday. If I knew then maybe I would have a better time getting over you" itunuoluwa said. I closed my eyes, and exhaled. "Okay ask all you want right now" 

"Why did you kissed her?" itunuoluwa asked. I hesitated before answering "Because i've always liked her and felt like our relationship was going no where." I tried to sound believable, but I knew that truthfully I didn't. "Stop lying Danny!" "But, i'm not lying right now." 

she turned around, and didn't dare look back for the rest of the period. When it was done, I gathered my books quickly and walked out the door. Someone pulled my arm lightly causing me to step back a few steps. It was Rebecca. "So, how was English today? I saw her  asking questions. What she say? Rebecca asked. "she just asked me why I kissed you ... I lied to her though." Rebecca looked surprised. "Why did you lie, were you just covering up for me, cause you love me now?" I looked at her with pure hate in my eyes. "Don't get me wrong. I f*ckin' hate you! I only did it cause feel like i'm not worthy of being her boyfriend anyone, and since I did the stupid bet stop hanging around with me!" 

I walked away, all the way to my best friend mayowa, and my friends. They were discussing the party they were planning for my other friend Dolly. Her birthday was in two days. "DANNY, your bringing the decorations right?" "Yeah, I already picked them out. black, with a bit of silver." The colors were a bit ... how do I put it in a nice way? Well I don't know deadly to me, but it wasn't my party, so I said nothing.

"Okay I got all the invites handed out already, everyone in the school will be coming, and I already cleaned up the place were having it at so everything should go smoothly." Said oreoluwa. We walked into the math classroom and took are seats. This class was the best class I had so far, cause itunuoluwa, or Rebecca weren't in it. Only me and my boys, and that was all I needed right now. When we got there we took are seats and a few seconds later a teacher who I didn't recognize walked in.

"Hello class, I am supplying for your teacher Mr.

. Seat because he has a cold, and has taken today off. My name is Mr. Shay, and today you guys will just be working on a sheet that I am about the hand out." He handed a stack of sheets the the first person in the front row, and they passed it back until everyone in the row got one. The sheet was about algebra, the math subject I hated the most.

I finished my sheet quick, and still have 45 minutes left to do whatever I wanted. So I ended up falling a sleep, cause for these two past days I hadn't gotten much sleep due to the fact that me and itunuoluwa had broken up. I had to cry my self to sleep for the past 2 days. It was hard, but I did eventually fall a sleep. When I woke up I had big red puffy eyes.

(A:N: Rebecca is a female dog, don't you think? she ruined Danny and itunuoluwa's relationship, but what for? Find out next time in the next chapter. Also I was thinking of maybe adding in point of views, like from Danny and Rebecca. So you guys could see what runs through their minds sometime. Leave a comment, or message me on what you think about that idea, and if you have any ideas or scene that you would like to happen throughout the story message me.
