Chapter 56
Thursday Morning
East High School
Senior High Building
Senior Year Three Class
Everyone is in the classroom doing whatever they like and Tega came running inside the classroom and said
"Hey, everyone attention," Everyone turned to him and wait for him to say something.
"What happened, Tega, why did you have to shout like that," Harry asked folding his hands.
"Well, I just want to... want to...," He stuttered trying to catch his breath," I just want to say that our mid-term results are out," Voices start to erupt distracting Tega...
"Huh, really," Alexis gasped,
"Of course, do I look like I'm lying," Tega scoffed
The results for the midterm test are out. It wasn't only the biology project which was for their mid-term test that was conducted last week. Other subject teachers had their mid-term tests too because their final exams are quite near now.
"Geez, I can't see my results, I'm afraid of failing," Grace said palming her face.
"Wow, some people are already talking about their results," Dylan laughed
"And what is that supposed to mean," Grace snapped
"I hope it isn't what I'm thinking," She added
"What are you thinking," Abel asked
"I don't know, so tell me what do you mean," Grace hissed
"Why don't you figure that out yourself," Harry shrugged
"What the f*ck is the meaning of that," Grace said frowning
"Language," Tega scolded her
"Ok, let me explain," Harry said giggling, "He meant you are dull,"
"What," Grace shouted
"Yes, since you don't want to see your results, it means you know you will fail i.e you are dull. A dull person doesn't need anyone to tell him or her what he or she is going get in his results," He replied smiling
"I hope that isn't an insult," She said glaring at Harry
"Nope because that is a compliment," Dylan replied instead smiling
Everyone including Michel gave Harry a clap ovation laughing out loud while Harry is beaming and bowing like a gentleman.
"Thank you si's, Thank you, my lady," Harry said smiling bowing repeatedly
"Idiot, I hate you," Grace shouted at him
"The feeling is mutual, Grace," He answered
"Enough of this drama, whether she knows or not doesn't concern us, just go check your results," Tega said
"What drama," Christy said pointing at Grace and the others
"This is an exhibition of foolishness,"
"And an ovation of stupidness," Christy said smiling
Since the time Christy went to Tega house's, She has been avoiding him whenever he wants to talk to her.
Although, she doesn't know the reason why she is running away from him, maybe because of how his mum welcomes her or something else.
"Oh my God, you have sense, exhibition, ovation, hmm, seriously, both of you are working in the psyche," Harry said
"Well, I doubt because we are two different people, I'm not a short-witted person," Christy shrugged
"Wait, do you just call me a short-witted person," Tega frowned
"I never mentioned a name," Christy told him
"Not again, Tega," Harry tapped his forehead and sighed
"It is enough," he added
"She called him a dumbass," Dylan frowned
"So what," She quirked a brow
"He is your class captain, remember," Dylan said
"I'm not short-witted," Christy said
"What an insult," Harry rolled his eyes
"Funny, that is a compliment," she said winking at Dylan.
"You just winked at Dylan in my presence," Tega said frowning
"And what has that got to do with you," she quirked a brow
"You don't have respect for me as a guy in your presence," He hissed glaring at Dylan
"Like seriously, you ... What are you driving at," she scoffed
"Like seriously, you... What are you driving at," Tega mimicked her
"Are you jealous," she asked
"Of course not, why will I be jealous," he laughed nervously
"You aren't even my boyfriend," She hissed
"And so what, ok if I'm your boyfriend," He told her
"Why will you be my boyfriend," she shrugged
"I can't date someone like you, not at all," She rolled her eyes
"Why can't you," Tega asked
"You ain't my type, just loo like Dylan, Abel, or even Harry, they look like the perfect definition of a boyfriend material," She said
"So are you telling me I'm not good enough for you," Tegs asked slowly
"Yes," she nodded
"Why," he asked sadly
"Wait, haven't you told me you can't date someone like me," she said
"I did but...,"
"You said I'm a b*tch, right," She added
"I wasn't in my right state of mind," He said. Everyone was just staring at them, trying to know what will happen at the end. They all knew about the chemistry between them, especially Tega who avoid it every time.
"Seriously, do You even think about how I will feel all those times," she told him tearing up
"I don't know but...,"
"Don't bother saying anything because I don't care, Tega Darwin," She cut him off
"I'm sorry," Tega uttered staring directly at her in her eyes
"What," She said shocked
"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for the humiliation, the insult, snubs, or anything, I'm so sorry, please forgive me," Tega said avoiding everyone's eyes.
Everyone was shocked by what Tega as said, he didn't care if people are there looking at him. Tega hasn't apologized to anyone before.
"Tega, what did you just say," Dylan asked surprised
"I said I'm sorry, I'm saying it in the presence of everyone, forgive me," Tegan repeated
"What the fuck," Abel exclaimed
"Did Tega just apologize," Harry said
"This is really great," Dylan smilies," you are doing great, Tega, really great,"
"Yes, the number one captain Tega Darwin apologized, this is surprising," Dylan giggled
"This is going to make a big news on the headline CNN TV news and it is going to be a big hit," Abel added
"Those that matter," Tegan sighed and Christy stare at Tega pitifully.
"That is ok, guys, we will continue about Tega and Christy's chemistry, let's talk about our results," Kelly interrupted
"Sure, intelligent thinking," Fay nodded
"Since the results are posted on the class notice board, why don't we check it out," Kelly suggested
"Yes, let's all head there," Abel said and everyone rushed out.
As Christy wanted to walk out, Tegs held her hand preventing her from following the others.
When everyone was gone, Christy broke the silence, " What is wrong," she frowned
"You haven't answered my question," Tegs said and sighed as he left her hand
"What did you expect me to say," she frowned
"I'm sorry and I don't mind begging you every day for your forgiveness," Tega smiled lightly
"Do you have to,"
"Yes," he nodded
"It isn't easy like that Tega,"
"Well, I don't expect you to give me an answer today but...,"
"I forgive you," Christy
"What," he said shocked
"Yes, I forgive you," she nodded smiling lovingly that Tega got lost in her eyes.
"if you have truly forgiven me, then I decided to rely on your message, that I love you, so Christy Rex will you be my girlfriend," Tegan sake nervously
"What," now it was Christy's time to be shocked
"Yes, You told me to figure it myself and I did, although it took me time to figure it out, I love you, since that day you made me realize, I have been incomplete," he said
"So please be my girlfriend, Tega Darwin loves you," Tegan added and a smile broke out on Christy's face.
"I love you too, Tega Darwin, and I will be your girlfriend," She squealed
"Really,"
"Yes, I'm your girlfriend and another one is a counterfeit," she said and they hugged
"Thank you, I promise you won't regret it," he said holding her waist possessively
"Alright," Christy said and they stare at their lips coming closer as they wanted to kiss, the bell rang for the next period and they disengaged laughing.
"The others will soon come inside or so you want them to know," Tega asked
"No," she shook her head
"Alright, anything for you," he smiled happily that he finally had what he wanted
"Don't worry, I'm yours," Christy pecked him lightly.
"I love you,"
"I love you too,"

Lunch Break
Ivy, Alexis, Grace, Davina, and David came out walking towards the cafeteria talking except for David who is silent.
Mabel isn't with them because she was called by the principal, and Mr. Baldwin
David looked at his sister and her friends and saw Malia holding Michel's hands despite the way he is pushing her away from him, then sighed," why am I feeling this way," he thought
"Is this called jealousy, why will I be angry anytime I see Michel and Malia together,"
"Yes, I'm sad about what they said about her what if it isn't true, what if there is something else, Why I'm I feeling guilty of a sudden,"
"I love Malia and I won't deny that,"
"Even if she did it, I don't care she is all I want,"
"I can't take this anymore, this is so hard to bear," he said and stopped
"Why did you stop," Ivy asked
"I don't feel like eating," He blurted out
"Why," Davina frowned
"I don't feel like, I lost my appetite, eat without me," he said and walked away without waiting for their reply.
"What is wrong with him," Grace shrugged
Then, Mabel came," girls, I'm sorry I can't eat with you, I have to go home something came up,"
"What happened," Ivy asked frowning
"I don't know, it is an emergency," Mabel shrugged
"Alright, see you tomorrow," Mabel said and ran off
"Something is off with her," Grace said as they watched her running.
"Yes, what is she hiding," Alexis said
"Don't worry I'm sure she will let us know when it is time," Davina told them
"Both of them seem off today," Ivy said
"Yes," Alexis nodded
"Forget it, Let's eat I'm famished," Davina said and walked away...
