Sorry for updating late , preparation for school and all caused it .
CHAPTER ELEVEN
EDITED
Idara's POV
I looked around the bush again and sighed already getting angry, I eyed Femi and said with anger,
"where are we now? ehn look at what you caused, we are already lost in this forest, no network sef nothing nothing."
Femi just sighed and said
"don't worry, idara they will soon find us."
I guess he was trying to make me relax or calm down, but I felt like he was trying to make himself relax.
We were lost in the forest and he was saying we should calm down, calm down?
Well to all those who don't understand,
2 days earlier
My mum finally packed the last clothe in my travelling bag. She was checking the clothes I packed and ended up scattering up everything and now she was arranging it now.
"Idara, be careful ooo, ma lo so nu ooo. " (don't get lost ooo) my mum said in Yoruba, my mum was a typical Yoruba woman.
And to avoid language barrier we all decided to speak Yoruba.
" I won't ma."
I replied her back as I carried my bag and checked my outfit again.
I was wearing a black beaded skinny jean with a black Gucci jacket and white tank top under. I added my white shining sneakers, and I guess I looked good.
I carried my travelling bag and my cross bag where I placed my phone and other stuff.
I hugged my mum, Mercy and my dad before leaving.
It was only a 4 days trip, but I was already missing them. No Mercy to make me late or talk to there but I had to go for the experience and money.
They were not refunding, and money can't just enter voicemail like that.
Mr. Wale started driving away from the house, I stared at the reducing sight of my house.
I guess this was it and I still don't have a partner.
...................
"Miss Peters and finally miss Sarah, miss Sarah? Sarah?" Mr. Johnson called again.
We were standing in the compound, the school bus parked right in front of us.
This was going to be my first time inside the bus and it even looked new from outside.
Mr. Johnson was busy taking attendance for people present while the students were muttering among themselves in excitement.
Everyone looked around but Sarah was not around. Mr. Johnson phone rang, and he excused himself to pick the call.
Liz was talking to Daniel and they were doing cute couple stuff, holding hands and the rest while Ayo was trying to get in touch with Sarah.
I looked at my front only to catch Femi staring at me,
I raised an eyebrow and he just smiled at me. A full-blown smile. I was sure that I was grinning already. I noticed what he was wearing,
A black jogger that fitted him so well and a white t-shirt showing his muscles and making his so sure six packs almost visible. He wore a Nike sneaker and a sunshade to finish the look. Most of the girls' gaze were n him and shamefully I was part.
After some few minutes Mr. Johnson came back,
"Sarah is not going to be available for the trip so her partner will have to choose another person which I guess is...."
Mr. Johnson was caught off by Ayo who was shouting
"me, me, it's me oo !"
Wait was I not supposed to be her partner now that Sarah did not come.
I moved forward was about to explain that I was meant to be her partner when Mr Johnson just walked away after saying
" okay done."
My head was still trying to figure out who my partner will be and then I looked at Femi, he was also looking for a partner. It was easy to figure it out, we were partners.
......................
"Femi is my partner." I muttered to Liz who was sitting beside me in the school bus. Just like I said the bus was new and really good and comfortable.
The leather seats were soft, and the AC was literally freezing me.
Another similar bus was following us at the back, and they were filled with students too. Thank God I wore jacket because this cold was killing me. Goosebumps were even appearing on my body.
I wondered how Femi was coping with the cold in that thin t-shirt.
"Yeah everyone knows."
Everyone abi (or) only her, her head is always very fast in gathering and getting all these types of stuff.
I hissed at her
"na you know. So, am I going to share a room with him?" I asked unsure.
"Considering he is your partner, yes. Anyway, all this type of trip is usually fun." She said reassuring me. We would probably be in the same room and don't ask me, that was all I heard while she was talking.
I nodded my head and then she cleared her throat as she focused her eyes somewhere, I followed her eyes and it landed on Angel and Ayo who were currently playing rock paper scissors.
A particular person cleared her throat,
"What happen now?" I asked Liz since I was sure she will soon start talking. That throat clearing ehn was like a preparation for all the words about to come out from her mouth.
And just like I stated Liz started
"don't you think something is fishy between Ayo and Angel?"
"Something like what oo?" I asked her,
she giggled after hearing my question,
"you know now. Why did she not argue about the partnership stuff? And why are they playing that game?"
Me too I have been asking myself that question but only one person knows the answer and that is Angel herself.
I looked at Liz and she was waggling her eyebrows, I laughed out at how she looked like.
"don't do that again." I said in between laugh making her join me.
"you are not serious, why should I not do it."
"let me snap you, you will see for yourself."
She laughed and hit me on my arm.
"leave me jo."
"I am not holding you." I added a wink and she just shook her head.
................................
After 10 minutes or so, we reached Muritala Mohamed airport.
We entered the airport and was told to follow the teacher in charge to the check in point.
After much foreign processing we were finally leaded into the airplane. I looked around in fascination and I knew I was standing out among others.
I was sure they have done this more than a handful times. But this was my first time entering a plane, and no one needs to know that.
We were arranged according to our partners and I was really trying hard not to be caught staring at everywhere like a lovesick person.
Or someone so odd but I couldn't help myself.
Femi sat down beside the window while I sat next to him.
I peeped to look at the window making him turn to me.
"you want to see the scenes?"
I smiled,
"yes, thank you."
We exchanged seats, I looked out.
I turned back and brought out my phone from my pocket.
I started taking pictures with my snapchat, I was going to keep every rcord about my first time. Even the date.
After making lots of cute faces and taking a whole lot of pictures,
I looked at Femi
"do you want to take a pic?"
He stared at me first before laughing.
That laugh?
Why does he have to be so handsome?
And then he stopped and grinned at me, I could not even help myself. I was smiling so bright.
"you know you are supposed to pay before snapping a pic with me?"
I looked at him, disbelief clear in my eyes
"no be only pay. Do not worry. "
He just laughed more and then I grabbed the phone and we both made funny faces to snap the pictures.
We had one were we both stuck our tongues out, we looked so cute, like a cute couple. But I should probably get that thought out of my mind because I am sure that can never happen.
When we were finally done because we were tired or probably because it was too much Femi asked to see the pictures, so I gave him my phone.
He was smiling at one, I stretched my neck to see it. It was a pretty nice picture, one which can make me wish for what I cannot have. I sat down back not adding any comment.
After looking at all the pictures, he continued to scroll
"why are you checking all my pictures?"
He just smirked and then he saw Lee Min Ho pictures which I saved on my phone after I became his fan. Courtesy of my two best friends.
"So, you watch Korea films?"
I was surprised that he even knows Korea film, talk less of recognizing their actors. But I guess LMH was just popular.
I was about to reply when the air hostess' voice caught me off.
"We will soon take off, put on your seat belts ..." She continued giving instructions which I listened carefully too and acted to immediately.
My mum's voice still ringing in my ears
" be careful, listen to what the air hostess says and pray before the plane takes off."
I started praying silently, when I was done, I felt the airplane move so I grabbed the arm rest.
"Is this your first time in a plane?" I heard Femi ask
I looked around and everyone was chatting normally but quietly like they were in a bus. They were all used to it.
" Yeah."
I answered truthfully, i didn't want anyone to know by acting like a typical village girl but if they ask, I will still tell them.
"Okay, just relax. " he said as he held my hand and placed it in his and then moments later, he started stroking it with his thumb absent mindedly, I felt myself relax.
"Thanks."
" Don't worry, we are friends and friends don't need to say thanks and stuff."
Friends? With Femi Davies, wow. That is surprising.
"So, we are friends?"
"Are we not?" he asked me back.
I just chuckled.
I didn't even know that the plane had taken off. I looked out the window, the presence of clouds and distant sight of roofs and water greeted me.
Everywhere looked so beautiful and I couldn't help but stare hard at them and take in the art God created.
Moments later, Femi whispered
"let's play 10 questions"
"Hmmmmm" I said pretending as if I was thinking and stroking my invincible beards.
"okay let me just pity you and play."
He chuckled
"okay, ladies first."
What should I ask him? and then a perfect question came to my mind.
"Why do you like playing your music so loud?"
He looked up scratching his imaginary beard, copying my actions and then smiled at me
"because I like it like that. My turn."
" Go on."
I was actually looking forward to the question he would ask.
" Do you have a boyfriend?"
Did Femi just ask that? Why would he ask me that type of question?
"Why are you asking?"
" I was just curious." He shrugged.
"Okay then. No, I don't."
" Really why will a beautiful girl like you not have."
Was he flirting with me? Cause that was definitely a pickup line.
I smiled at his compliment or more like blush. It's not every day the richest and most handsome guy in school calls one beautiful.
"well why would a handsome boy like you not have a girlfriend?" I asked back with a raised eyebrow.
He laughed
"okay, fair enough."
And that was how we continued the game until it was time for the landing.
With his hand placed on mine , even if I wanted to ignore all the butterflies, I just couldn't.
Wait ooo egbami did I just say butterflies?!!.
