★★★★★★

"Am coming back late today". Kim said to Anika.

She is already dressed up for school.

"Why? You got another job?".

"Nope, i want to start tutoring a friend". She replied brushing her hair.

"Really? But you just got to the school it's not up to a week, Kimberlyyyy........". Anika said drawing her name.

"Nika you talk too much".

"Whatever, have you picked the sport wear?".

"Yeah, I even ironed it.....okay bye". She replied and left.

"Not even a peck". Nika shouted and she came back to peck her two cheeks.

"I love you, bye".

"Love you too silly head. Bye, don't fight in school,okay?". Nika said but she has gone.

Kim couldn't wait to see Jamal, she has sleepless night thinking about him.

She is pained that they are not in thesame class.

"Why am I feeling this way". She placed her left hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat.

She walked blindly into the school, she was about to enter the class but someone pull her back.

Her heart skipped.

"Watch out". Mal whispered before he let go of her waist.

"Who....what do you mean? You are......you were the one that pull me". She stammered.

"I guess you didn't check the floor before deciding to enter ". He said pointing at the pieces of broken bottles littered on the floor.

"Wtf". She exclaimed when she saw it.

She wanted to pick them up but he pull her back.

"I only want to check it". She smiled.

"It's dangerous". He said and she nodded.

She had never since someone caring about her except her Granny.

"I got his war". She blurted.

"Meaning???".

"You can't understand". She replied bringing out the sport wear from her bag.

"Thank you". She stretched out the cloth.

"Like seriously......c'mon you don't have to return. Keep it okay?"

"Wow....I guess I just embarrassed myself". She muttered, stylishly putting the cloth inside her bag.

"Thank you".

"Are we still having our tutorial today". He asked.

"Yep....in the library, 5:00pm". She answered.

"Alright, bye for now". He said and left.

"Bye". She beamed and watched him till out of sight.

James was shocked to see Kim walking into the classroom without bleeding

She walked to Tony and sat on his table.

"What". He snorted.

"You are messing with the wrong bitch, you don't know I know things". She spat and she left him speechless.

"Like seriously, are you trying to scare me with your words, anyways you don't worth my reply". He spat back.

Spark stood up and bang his fist on the table.

"I feel like you want to reach for more stars but heaven is not helping you. Must you always frustrate people?". He yelled at Tony.

"And you too? What are you talking about? I don't even know what she is talking about". Tony yelled back.

He looked at James who had a guilty look.

"Don't look at me like that, ain't gonna stop always". James growled.

"Like seriously, all bottles on me?". He said and left the class.

On getting out of the class he met Jamal and they glanced at each other.

"He is going to cry again". Mal thought.

******

Kim wait impatiently for Jamal in the library. It been over 25 minutes past 5.

"It seems he's not ready". She said and stood up to leave the library but someone stopped her.

"(panting) Am sorry coming late". Jamal said facing the ground

"25 minutes, no now 26 minutes late.....well sit down, let start". She said and he obeyed.

They started with mathematics(surds)

"{√100x√25+√9-√5}=?". Kim asked and got no answer. She looked at Jamal and found him asleep.

"He even look cute even at sleep". She said and hit his back a bit and he woke up.

"Is my teaching boring?".

"Nope, am just not a fan math". He replied simply.

"Oh....I see, but you have to learn it".

"As your Lordship please". He said and sat up looking serious.

She started all over again, and he got some, the simple ones.

"Thank you". He said.

"For what?".

"For teaching me, I never knew I can get to solve them". He pointed at his books.

"Don't thank me, the monster in you did it, you just have to continue trying". She smiled.

"Have someone ever told you how pretty you are?, I mean when you wore that smile". He asked holding her hands on the table.

People do tell her several times but this one is special.
