Chapter 16
I woke up today with a feeling I can't quite explain, but I have had it before, that was when Miracle gave me the news of their family moving out. Now this morning am having this same feeling, even my morning exercise wasn't helpful. It's a feeling that makes me know something is going to happen and that something is going to bring a whole change to my life like the day Miracle moved out. Maybe what horoscope said about October born being clairvoyant is true, let's see how today turns out, I just grabbed my books and left for lectures.
The whole day went on with this same feeling, so I couldn't focus, it's like there is this stored energy within me and needs to be let out. I turned down my friends offer to hang out after lecture, I saw Chidimma today and she gave me scornful eyes, who cares, she was with Kelly, she's lucky I didn't tell Kelly about what we did, I just don't want anything to do with her. I left everybody and went to the Library, Ada called to ask me more about my previous lesson and I was happy to help, she handled her feelings well and I can see great things for her.
After reading for a whole 2 hours, the day is getting dark, I stood up to leave on getting to the door a stepped on a bed and it almost tripped me by sliding, luckily no much people here so nobody saw me make a fool out of myself. I took the pen and walked out, I looked at the pen and saw something the send chills down my spine, a paper was inside it, and Miracle Okeke was written on it, my heart started beating vehemently and the feeling I have since morning magnified. I opened the pen to inspect the pen more, cause there is literary 100's of Miracle Okeke, though I doubt anyone will still write her name inside her pen. On close inspection I notice the M is the same with the way I write my own, she learned it from me saying the way I write M is cool.
Seeing this made me realize that she is in this school and this is her pen, I just have to search for her or always come to the library till I see her. I walked down the Library steps deep in thought and also happy for what I just figured, truthfully am clairvoyant.
"Harry?" I heard my name, I raised my head to see a girl, a very beautiful girl her innocence is screaming, she is the type of girl that makes all head turn when she passes by, my throat went dry as all reasoning left me. Before me stands Miracle and she is beyond my imagination
"Harry" she called again.
"Yes" my voice came out as a whimper, she bolted towards me and wrapped her hands around me, it took me 3 seconds to return the gesture, her sweet smell invaded my nose, her skin ignited my body, I squeezed her more.
"I missed you," I said still holding her,
"Me too," she said then sniffed, I realize she's crying so I break the hug to wipe her tears.
"Don't cry, am here now" I said she nods.
"Yes you're," she said poking just to be sure making me chuckle. I then handed her pen over to her, she smiled
"I stepped on it and it tripped me," I said, she just inspected it.
"I came back to look for it, you're lucky you didn't break it," she said then puts it inside her bag,
"I will then buy you a new one," I said she just shook her head, I can't believe am talking to Miracle, the girl that made my childhood. She is wearing a white top with a sky blue jean jacket and jean trouser same color with the jacket and white sneakers, had her hair tied into a pigtail.
She is not the tomboy which I envision her to be, she is the perfect woman, she's beautiful and words can't even describe what she looks like.
"Can we go somewhere to talk" I said and she agreed, I then grabbed her by the hand, old habit and thinking about it, I have never grabbed any other girl by the hand. I looked at how perfect our hand fits each other.
"I know, you missed the warmth," she said giving me that rare smile you don't get to see from any other person.
"I miss you as a whole" I replied and we both walked out of the school,
"Let's go to the eatery beside the school" she suggested, it is a nice idea but I want somewhere peaceful, I don't want people greeting me when am with her.
"No let's go to crunchies" I said and she just shrugged, we then boarded a bus to crunching. All the while in the bus I never let go of her hand and she didn't pry her hand off, she is even squeezing as tightly as I am and the thought that she still wants us to walk around holding hands its pure euphoria for me.
"So what will you have" I asked as we sat down, its Thursday so Crunchies have fee people in it.
"How about you buy one coke, two straws and we share it, wouldn't that be romantic" she gushed making me laugh, sadly we're no longer holding hands.
"You're still sarcastic," I said and she giggled.
"All am saying is I rather talk with you than have anything" my heart giddies with her words, sadly its already late so we have very few hours to spend with each other.
"Let's have coke then" I ordered coke for the both of us, am amazed at her changes. "So am curious, how did you change so much," I asked, there is something about her that makes me free with her, no sugar coating words.
"You mean am no longer tomboy?" she asked and narrowed her eyes which made me laugh "well, after we relocated, I got into a lot of fight so my parent took me to an all girls boarding school, it was them that taught me how to be a lady" she said and sipped her coke.
"How?" I asked
"Well every night before bed the house leader will make me walk a straight line with my chest out, you know like a model, and whenever a teacher saw me bouncing like a boy she will flog me" she said and I laughed at her, I already know it's her mom that will talk the school into doing it.
"But how come the beauty?" I asked and she stoned her coke cap at me.
"You mean I was ugly" she barked.
"No, but you weren't this pleasing to the eyes," I said laughing, its as if I can't control my laughter with her.
"Well I guess that came with the age," she said then narrowed her eyes on me "does that mean you find me attractive and you're crushing on me?" she asked making me choke on my drink she started laughing.
"Just joking mister," she said as her laughter died down.
"So do you have a boyfriend in this school or back at home," I asked and she shook her head.
"I don't do boyfriends," she said and my eyes widened.
"Don't tell me you're a lesbian?" I asked.
"No!, God why would you think that," she asked
"You know, going to all girls school and such" I grin, she just shook her head.
"I don't have a boyfriend because I found none worthy, besides am saving myself for the love of my life," she Said and I couldn't shake away the feeling of unworthiness.
"Do you realize you just said you're a virgin" I said giving her a sly smile she gasped.
"No I did not" she denied I smiled, from experience I can detect a virgin, though am not 100% accurate.
"Ok, you win," I said raising my hands, the blush that stained her cheek already gave me the answer I needed.
"What about you, where is your girlfriend," she asked and clear and her throat, instantly I felt the reason why Henry hides his playboy nature from Ada, cause every fiber of my body wants to hide it away from Miracle.
"Am single" I said, I could've told her the truth, but I didn't. "Just like you, am saving myself up" I went further with the lies, she smiled and raised her half-empty bottle towards me.
"To the love of our lives," she said and I mimicked her before drinking to it.
