Chapter 23 - Chapter Twenty Three

"Shut the fuck up Mann" Zuba said, smirking at Miles.

Miles frowned.

"Can't we just accept the fact that he's into her??" Munchy said

"We all know that, he's yet to see it" Miles answered folding his hands

" God" Zuba groaned "Can we also stop acting like it's a good thing"

"She's Tasha Adele. Mr Adele's daughter. C'mon" he added

"This is so fucked up" Bose sighed

"This wasn't the plan" Zuba said

"Why don't you tell that to Gusty. He's not far from here" Miles rolled his eyes

"Like you're any better" Zuba hissed

"What's that supposed to mean" Miles frowned, raising an eyebrow

"Zuba...." Munchy warned

"Yes. Aren't you in a relationship with Lily?. You're here, pretending like you're not in the same stupid boat with Gusty, you're here pretending like it was part of the plan" Zuba fumed

"We're breaking apart. Thanks to you and Gusty." He added as he walked to the door.

Miles stood still. Fist tied into a hard ball, his breath, coming in gasp.

Bose touched his shoulder, calming him down.

"Y'all are so messed up" Zuba added, stared at them one more time and left, slamming the door behind him.

"Leave me alone Miles" Gusty scoffed into the phone. Miles said something at the other end and he smirked.

"Not my fault" he murmured as he got to the door of the cafeteria.

Eyes scanning the canteen, till her saw her.

"Goodbye" Gusty said as he hung up. He sighed, leaning on the door frame, staring at her.

She was beautiful. Not the kind of beauty that makes you get bored after staring for a while. Not that kind. But the kind that keeps you intrigued all the freaking time.

She was gorgeous. And why the heck does it keep surprising him, he groaned.

Lily said something and she rolled her eyes, laughing. God's, just when he thought they were getting along.....

Just then, Tasha raised her head.

Fuck, Gusty hissed as she looked at him.

She frowned and averted her eyes

Well...

***

"What the hell does he want now??" Tasha hissed, packing up her books.

"Gosh. I hate him" Lily groaned into her hands, shaking her head.

Tasha stood up as he got to their table

"Tasha....." He began.

Tasha leered at him, picked up her bag and walked away.

"Just stay away from her" Lily spat "you've done enough" she added menacingly, eyes filled with disdain as she walked away.

****

"Oh God" Mrs Adele sobbed as she read the letter. Again.

"My love. I have no explanation for what I did, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the stress I've caused you and our child. It wasn't my plan.

I've missed you, I think about you all the time, your smile, your laughter, even your cries....

Mrs Adele sobbed harder.

"I love you more than life itself. You're the best thing thathas ever happened to me. You and Tasha. I'm really sorry I can't talk to you face to face, but just remember....my love for you and our daughter, will never quench"

"No" Mrs Adele screamed, crying "please, come back"

"How do you expect me to train our child, alone" She screamed into the empty space "I'm tired, I'm stressed. And I definitely cannot show her this letter" She added.

Her shoulders shook, her head hung low, crying, deeply.

****

"Lily, he's coming" Tasha nudged Lily who was busy tying her shoe lace

"Oh God, I'm going to give Gusty a heavy blow to his stomach" Lily snapped, lips curled into a tight line.

"Not that annoying prick" Tasha rolled her eyes "the other one" she smirked

"Huh" Lily stood up, pulling her denim skirt lower. Her eyes followed Tasha's eyes, confused.

"Yep" Tasha nodded at Miles who was so close to them.

Lily frowned as he got to them.

"Hey" Miles waved, winking at Lily.

"Avoid me" Lily hissed as she walked away.

"Lily" Miles groaned, calling after her. But she didn't turn.

"What the heck just happened " Tasha said, shocked

***

"I seriously don't like this" Tasha frowned

"I don't care, and you know it" Lily said indignantly "where the hell is the bus?, I need to go home " she added, looking left and right

"We, you mean" Tasha said sarcastically

"Whateverrrrrr " Lily rolled her eyes

They stood in silence by the roadside, waiting for the bus that'll take them home. It has never been this late, why today, Lily groaned inwardly. Her leg ache from standing.

"Lily look" Tasha began and Lily groaned loudly. Tasha ignored her, and continued.

"Like I was saying, I love the fact that you love me, but I shouldn't be the reason you'll fight with your boyfriend " Tasha harrumphed

"Since when did you start supporting him?" Lily turned to her "I thought you didn't like him"

"Of course I don't like him. I don't like any of them" Tasha scoffed as the sound of the bus could be heard from afar

"Thank God" Lily whispered, making a sign of the cross

"I was just....." Tasha began

"Stop it" Lily stamped her foot angrily as the bus got closer "I don't want to talk about him, and we're not dating".
