Betty was sitting down on a step beside thetwin statue. She wasn’t reading the books she seemed to be staring at, she was thinking of Emeka and Jay-Jay. She tried to compare and contrast, she couldn’t decide who was the best, Anyway, she sighed, its a good thing I have a brother and a boyfriend; both in one campus.
Her phone rang sharply interrupting her thoughts “Hello? ” “Hey, little sis, its me” Jay- Jay chuckled from the other end “Jay-Jay?” she wanted to be sure “yea, Nnem how are you?” he asked. “I’m always good, I was just thinking of you” she replied “oh no! Baby you should be thinking of Emeka.” he was teasing her. She laughed. “I gat to tell ya something” he hesitated. “I’m wouldn’t be in town for about two weeks, I’m gonna travel today.” he sounded serious.
She tried calling and the network operator told her the number was incorrect. She sighed! She was damn going to miss him. He has invisible eyes? Wow! He is going to explain himself when he comes back. They were both sitting close to each other on a block- Betty and Emeka.
cornrows, it
was another lovey-dovey session. He
whispered
something to her and smacked his hands
playfully. “Ouch! That hurts!” Emeka said
rubbing the spot. “are that weak?” Betty
sneered “Oh yea! When it comes to issues like
this, but I’m
not weak at errm, you know..” he winked at
her. “Bad boy! You love dirty talks” she pulled
his ears. “that shows I’m learning fast” They
doubled with laughter.. “Hy Betty-love”
someone called from behind them. they turned
startled. A boy was walking towards them, he
has a rugged
look- with dreadlocks,tattoo’s all over e.t.c
“I’ve been searching for your all-over..” the
boy
continued. “Excuse me, do I know you?” Betty
asked confused. “C’mon what’s the meaning
of that, you don’t
recognise me anymore? It’s me Kay- your
baby” the boy replied, trying to take her hands.
“I don’t know you!” Betty snapped, standing up.
Emeka stood up too “Who is he?” “I don’t know him.
Betty replied looking more confused now. “You heard she doesn’t know you, can you leave now!” Emeka told the boy. “Betty-love, is it cos I didn’t come over last night or what?, okay,I’m sorry, you know I love you” the boy said trying to hug Betty, but she pushed him away. “Leave me!” she shrieked “Kay! Or whatever you are, leave this place now! I won’t have you harrassing her right in front of me!”
Emeka’s voice was rising. ” see this one o, wetin consign you? How many tines have you tasted her punny?” the boy retorted. “You’d better tell him to leave me o, else I would leak our secrets o” he told Betty Emeka gaped at Betty who looked horrified. “I don’t know you, we don’t have any secrets”, “Ehn, okay, where did she tell you she spent the night yesterday? Library right?” The boy asked Emeka.
Betty gasped, she truly was at the library throughout last night with Edith, they were solving some assignments. “She was at my place:” the boy told Emeka. “Its a lie!” Betty yelled. Emeka made to leave ” You aint gonna believe him are you?” Betty whimpered “see you! How boy’s have slept with you in this campus, ehn?” the boy added Emeka couldn’t wait anylonger, he walked away. “Hey..cool..okay, have a nice day, I just did my job”
The boy told her before walking away, Betty could feel her spinning, her vision becoming blurred, she sat down, picked her phone “Hello!” “Edith where ever you are, come now, I’m dying.” she managed to say before letting out a heart rending sob. Edith looked at her friend Betty, pitying her. She has been in a bad mood for todays now- since that episode with Emeka. “girlie, its high time you’d stop doing this to your self, you’ve not been eating o” Edith knelt beside her on bed.
again…” she added gently ” Can’t you gerrit
into your head, that he switched off
his phone” Betty snapped, her eyes still shut.
“Now girlie, Keep your cool, huh?” Edith told
her “And do you know whats hurting me
more?” Betty sat
up. “no..” “I saw him with G-gal this
afternoon, at The Mama’s
Kitchen” tears welled up her eyes “serious?”
edith’s eyes almost popped out. “I think…
”betty got down from bed.
she moved towards the mirror hanging on the wall. “G-gal of all people! Sometimes I wonder…if…if… if…” her voice trailed off, she sniffed and wiped her tears. “Hmmmn, but, I think G-gal is the one forcing herself on him, I don’t think…Emeka would do such”. Edith told her to wipe her tears. Betty smiled a faint smile, she knew that too, but she think she is losing. “When is Jay-Jay coming back?” “In the next four days.” she replied. “I’l arrange something, atleast before he comes back, we’l handle G-gal in our own way” Edith said “How?” Betty couldn’t help laughing. “wait and see! G-gal will have to pay.” Betty stared at Edith suprised, what can she do, but Edith was wearing this determined face,.
