Chapitre 56: Fifty six
"Why would you mention Kim? Ew, don't mention his name." I had to tell her. I don't know why but I felt irritated just by a bare mention of his name.
"Oh, sorry. I thought you liked him."
"Why would you think that?"
"Well, for starters, he's been staring at you for quite a well, I thought you saw him and that was why you were smiling. I thought, maybe you liked the fact that he's interested in you."
"He's been staring at me?" What? I didn't know that!
"Yeah, don't make it obvious, just turn your neck a little." She told me and I did just that.
You've got to be kidding me. He was actually staring. My heart skipped. Why was he staring at me like that. I looked again and he was still staring...I felt so uncomfortable now that I knew. I looked over at Uche's seat, he wasn't there, Nick wasn't either, there were probably together...but if they were, Kim should be with them as usual.
"He won't stop, Casey." I complained to her.
"I know right? Can't believe you are just noticing. Even before I left, I saw him fixing his eyes on you."
"What should I do?"
"I don't know..." Casey shrugged as she trailed off."Maybe leave? Just take a walk along the hallway, if you are not here he can't stare at you, right?"
I nodded.
She was right. I could leave the class to get him to stop looking at me. I stood up and arranged the rumples my skirt had formed while I sat.
Gladly, it was a free period on the timetable, there wasn't a teacher in the class so I didn't have to take an excuse before I left.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Casey asked in a whisper.
"No. It's fine." I told her and watched her nod before I left.
I was still leaving our classroom when I bumped into someone and almost fell. The person held me on time and I didn't lose my balance.
"Uche," I smiled, just the face I wanted to see.
"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, helping me get back on my feet.
"Yeah," I just nodded.
"You sure?" It was Nick, I was right, they were together.
"Yeah, I'm good."
"Alright, let's go," Nick told Uche but he didn't move a bit from where he stood, he was giving me an 'are you really okay?' look.
"Were you looking for me?" Uche asked and I just nodded without thinking because YES, I've been using my eyes to look for him; waiting for him to come back to class.
"For that textbook of yours?" Uche added, leaving me a bit confused. I just looked at him, trying to decipher what he was talking about but I heard him again;
"It's in my locker, let's go get it." He took my hand."I'll join you in a min," He told Nick and took us to his locker.
I turned my neck and saw Nick going into the class without him. We stopped at his locker and he opened it slightly, not wanting to get anything out from it. It was now I knew what he did, he wanted to get rid of Nick.
"Are you okay?" He asked after we got to his locker.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"You don't look like you are okay, you look nervous...not nervous, uncomfortable? What's the matter?"
Wow, how did he notice that? I looked at him shortly before deciding to tell him.
"It's Ki.."
"Kim?" He didn't even let me complete the name, it was like he expected that I'll say that name.
"Yeah,".I nodded again.
"What? Did he say anything?" He asked, concern written all over his face."Did he do anything?" His face grew more concern after he asked this, he took my arms, checking each of them."What did he do?" He asked again when he couldn't figure out himself by checking my arms.
"Well... nothing, he didn't do anything. It's just...the way he's staring at me, I don't like it. He's just looking at me nonstop." I put my words together for an explanation.
"That's not nothing." Uche hissed.
I looked to the ground when it got silent between us.
"I didn't want to tell you, I thought you already noticed..."
"Notice what?" I didn't realize I cut him halfway through his words till I did.
"Kim came to me the other time, told me he liked you."
"What?" Kim liked me?
"I thought you knew?"
"I didn't."
"It's why I didn't let him talk to you the other day. Remember?"
Oh yeahhhh, that day. Kim asked if he could talk to me but Uche tackled him.
"Oh," I bit my lips in slow realization."Ew." I added and got a chuckle from Uche.
"Don't worry about him, I'll deal with him. Okay?" He assured me.
"What are you gonna do? Talk to him?" I got another chuckle after I asked.
"Nah, don't worry about him, just know I'll take care of it."
I nodded and started to fiddle with my fingers like I learnt to do lately. I did it whenever I was nervous without reason or whenever I was bored or had no plans for what to do...and now, I was doing because I was shy, I think.
Why am I shy? I don't know! I mean, we've kissed many times but I was shy to remind him of the kiss he said he would take from me before school time was over.
"She's playing with her fingers again," he commented on what I was doing with my hands.
I looked up at him and smiled a little sheepishly before looking back down. He pinched my jaw and brought my gaze back up to his face.
"You're blushing, and it's beautiful." He smiled. I smiled too but then I realized was he just said.
Did he just say I was blushing?! I quickly covered my face with both hands and heard him laugh.
"Come on, let me see." He took my hands away from my face, a smile still on his lips, his kissable lips.
"Your cheeks get red so easily but I love when that happens," he exposed his set this time as he smiled on, I could melt. In as much as he smiled very often, he rarely smiled with his teeth showing but he was doing so now and it was because of me.
