In love with Chris

CHAPTER SEVEN

AVRIL

My whole thoughts were clouded by Chris, he looked so cute when I and Sally saw him at the canteen earlier today.

"I don't know but I guess I am beginning to feel something for him", I said aloud smiling.

Flashes of the kiss scene kept coming to my mind. I wished it was happening right then.

I wished he would just kiss me again.

I picked up my phone and typed his name on my search list.

“Chris Hoffman”...

“No results!”

"Damn!!" I said angrily.

I searched Hoffman Chris, Cute Chris, and Chris H, but couldn't find him.

I gave up and threw my phone on my bed angrily.

Yes!! I said excitedly.

I picked up my phone again and searched An drew. that was Andrew's username on Facebook.

I scrolled through his timeline but couldn't find Chris, I was disappointed once again and was about to give up when I saw Chris's photos he posted and tagged Andrew and Daniel.

"Iss Ba ddie" I scoffed. "Such lame name to use".

I scrolled through his profile looking at his photos.

"Oh shit!" I screamed. I thumbed his photo by mistake. "Damn it!!" I punched my bed.

My phone beeped, and someone texted. I rushed to see who it was praying silently it shouldn't be since I had a clue of who it was.

“Someone is going through my photos”.

Chris texted, and he caught me.

“You wish” I replied.

He sent another text and I immediately checked it.

“Just admit it, you like me”.

“Stop dreaming” I replied.

I waited for him for minutes refreshing my chat but he didn't reply, I was getting impatient but didn't want to text him again.

'where the hell did he go? I just hope someone else isn't taking his attention' I thought.

It was almost ten minutes yet no reply from Chris. My phone beeped, I was excited but not for too long as the message wasn't from him but from Sally. I let out a loud hiss before texting her back.

“Are you still there?” I summoned courage and texted Chris.

He replied almost immediately making my heart leapt for joy.

“I knew it! I knew it! You missed me!”

I shouldn't have sent any message my face fell.

My phone beeped again, the message was from Chris.

“Let's eat lunch together tomorrow and go on a date later in the evening, you know freaky Friday stuff”.

A big smile formed on my face and disappeared almost immediately.

'I can't eat lunch with him, Sally what will I do with her? And the date part, I haven't even told Ariel and Jumai about him yet'' I thought.

“I'd give you a reply tomorrow”, I texted back and lay back in my bed faced up.

I was too exhausted and didn't know when I dozed off.

CHRIS

Avril Sally and I ate lunch together even though I didn't want Sally there. For some reason, I didn't like the girl but I had to give in since Avril insisted.

She promised to go on a date with me some other time. Eating lunch with her during the break period was enough and it made my day.

I still owed my friends explanations of what was going on and promised to tell them when we got home.

My friends and I usually stop at my place to eat lunch after school most of the time. Then they'd go home afterwards.

We finished eating and went to my room to discuss Avril.

I told them everything without missing any part.

Andrew and Daniel asked me if I could permit them to have a taste of Avril's lips but I insisted she was mine alone. I wanted something serious with Avril, something more than the playboy thing I was into.

AVRIL

I sat on Jumai's bed not knowing where to start. Although Chris wasn't my boyfriend yet I and Chris knew where this was heading.

I watched Jumai as she dressed her hair in front of the mirror, she applied her facial cream and packed her hair neatly in a ponytail. She wore a blue net on top of it.

"I am listening", Jumai said after packing her hair, she came to sit beside me on the bed.

"Uhm... I don't know where to start", I replied playing with my fingers.

Jumai had this look on her face that I couldn't explain, I tried so hard to read her facial expressions but it was more difficult than I thought it.

I was quiet for some time not knowing what next to say.

"Start from the beginning, the scratch. Don't worry tomorrow is Saturday we don't have to wake up early", Jumai said.

I bit my lower lip and blinked thrice.

"Don't you have exams tomorrow?" I asked Jumai.

Jumai was taking her final exams at the college, she would become a nurse afterwards. She wanted to own a pharmacy and a semi-hospital where she would treat people who can't pay their hospital bills for free.

"No, I don't. Till Monday so start talking", she replied crossing her legs and folding her arms.

I was quiet for some time, I bit my fingers and clenched my toes... I did this whenever I was shy.

Jumai made issues worse, as she would complicate issues and make faces that'd make you more embarrassed, you may even think you are doing something wrong.

"There's this guy......"

"Oh, a guy? I thought you wanted to say you're now a warewolf", she replied making my heart skip, and my eyes widened.

"Why are you one?" She lowered her face to mine keeping a very stern look.

My legs and hands trembled.

' Jumai know I am now a wolf? Did Ariel tell her? No, he can't! How did she find out? Oops!! Did she also know I killed the woman?' thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to gain control of myself.

She clapped her hands at my face bringing me back to reality, she had this weird smile on her lips.

"I am still waiting for an answer!" She said in a rather funny accent.

I stared into her eyes, she also was staring into mine fiercely.
