Chapter 5 C5

*****

Ryan POV

Why is tony suddenly becoming close to em,I asked myself

It's so strange buh I'm sure he wants to ask her out and I'm sure em will reject him like she's been doing to other guys

I was still thinking when my friend xander tapped me

Hey dude,watsup

Emerald I sick and I'm worried I told him

What's wrong with her he asked

Headache I replied

Come on buddy,u don't have to be this moody,she will be fine

I know u are worried buh u don't have to,it's just headache and I'm sure your girl will be fine by tomorrow

I hope so I told him

*****next day

Emerald POV

When I woke up this morning I was totally fine and I'm still fine

Rita told me Ryan was really worried yesterday

Aww so sweet lol

She even asked me what's going on between me and tony and I told her nothing is going on

Like...what can even go on between us anyway I thought and chuckled

He's my classmate after all and it's not a crime to talk to my classmate

I just finished eating and right now we are on our way to the classroom

I waved at tony eh was standing on the hallway with one of his friends and he equally waved at me

I just smiled and continue walking to the class

Immediately we entered the class Rita turned and faced me with hands akimbo

What? I asked her

I thought u said nothing is going on between u two she questioned

Excuse me? I scoffed,what can possible go on between us plus

We just started talking two days back I told her

Does it look like anything is going on between us? I asked her

U must be kidding me I scoff

What she asked

Ooh Rita please,nothing is going on between us i replied with an eye roll

Eme...please Rita I cut her off,drop the topic,nothing is going on between us and nothing will I told her as I walked to my seat while she

That girl can overeact at times

Gosh....

Ryan POV

Someone is okay now I said as I walked to where em was sitting

She turned and smiled when she heard my voice

I'm absolutely fine now she replied,and besides it was just headache she added

I'm glad u are fine now,I was so worried I told her with a serious expression

Don't gimme that look,u don't have to be worried any longer cause I'm absolutely fine now and thank u so much for yesterday

I....she was still talking when I interrupted her,come on em there's nothing to be thankful for

I only did what friends do I said caressing her hair she just smiled and nodded

We didn't say anything again for few minutes until she said she wants to GI thank Tony

Why? I asked her

For helping me of cause even tho I wasn't for long she said

Who told u that I scoffed

Rita did she replied

Well,she lied to u I told her

What do u mean she

Tony didn't help u in any way,the only thing he did was not minding his business when he saw u

Come on don't be like that,no matter what I still have to thank him she replied smiling while I just kept a straight face

Come on ryan,it's just a thank u she said buh I didn't shake

U know what just sit here and wait,I'll be back before u know it she said and left

She won't ever listen to me I said face palming myself

Emerald POV

Ryan can be so funny,I know he doesn't want me to go to tony that was why he said that but still I have to thank him at least

I've never entered any other class aside mine,reason is I'm shy (no one knows that part of me) and I don't like entering someone else's class but right I'll have to do it because of tony

So annoying I muttered

I stood outside and looked inside his class but he wasn't there so I waved at Rita and left to go check him at the hallway

Finally,I said as I spotted him

I waved at him and he came to where I was

Hey

Hi he said grinning

Thank u do yesterday I told him

Oh it's nothing actually,I'm happy I helped a little he replied

Alright,I I smiled

I want to go back to my class now,thank u once again,I really appreciate I added and turned to leave buh he held me and I turned

Come on emerald,let's just talk for few minutes

I wish I can buh I really have to go now,Ryan is waiting to me

Oh,he replied and left my hand

Maybe during night prep I told him

During preps? He asked

Yeah

Alright then,during prep he said with a smile and I nodded and left

****weeks later***

A lot of things happened within the last weeks

Last week was my birthday,I only celebrated on low key since glamour high doesn't accept any kinda party by the students in the school except

It's organize by the school management

Ryan was at home during my birthday,he went for something important and he cane back two days ago

I asked him what he got me for my birthday thought he didn't forget,he told me he would give me during night prep and it's night already(I can't wait💃)

I came to the class few minutes ago

Me and tony have become pretty close that most of our classmates and even juniors thinks we are dating but of course that ain't true

2 hours later

Ding ding ding

Thats the bell I said standing up just then Ryan entered the class

He hasn't been in since the beginning of prep and I wonder why

Hi

Hi I replied,where have u been I pouted

I've been around he replied and shrugged

And u didn't care to come check up on me?

I'm sorry about that he replied,it won't happen again he added

It's fine,I didn't pick any offense I told him

That's why I love u he said grinning

Whatever I replied and he laughed

He asked me how I'm doing as we walked outa the classroom,Cara already left the class so it was just me and victor with some of our classmates

We were still walking when his friend came over and handed him a fancy bag which after his friend left he gave it to me and said happy birthday tho in arrears

Aww,thank u I beamed as I collected the bag,what's inside? I asked him

See for yourself when u get to the hostel he told me

I'll do just that I replied

Okay,now get going

U wouldn't want the matron to lock u outside he told me

Ikr I giggle

Goodnight I told him

Goodnight he replied and I walked away
