CHAPTER 3

Did she just correct him??…
His eyes moved on her face randomly before he looked down and released a light smile.
Josephine was staring at him, wondering what he was thinking in that mind of his… He looks younger.
“Did you just correct me?” Pascal asked with an amusing smirk.
“Yeah, can’t you be corrected?” She asked.
“Are you a linguist?” He asked.
“I don’t have to be one before I can correct you, you look like a highschool student, am I right?” She replied but Pascal ignored her question and started walking away.
“Did he just snub my question?” She mumbled and started walking after him.
“Hey, I ask you a question” She said as they got to the living room.
Pascal stopped and turned to her.
“I don’t want to answer that question, figure it out yourself, I’m Pascal by the way” He smiled.
She gave him a stare before talking.
“Josephine” She muttered.
“We are roommates, you are welcome” He said.
“Thank you” She said.
“You look rich, what are you doing in a house like this?” He said.
That question brought a smile to her lips, this is not him, everyone who sees her always says this. People expect her to have a high class and a sassy fashion style but she chose to cherish and love a simple life. She has the money to buy a house here but she prefers this house the moment her eyes see it.
“Do I?” She said, more like a question.
“Yeah, you don’t look like a person from an average background” He replied sincerely.
“Well…Can we talk about another thing? How old are you?” She asked.
“What?” He blinked.
“Why are you surprised? It’s a simple, harmless question” She said.
“I’m older than you” He replied and started walking to the kitchen.
“What!!” She gasped and followed him till they got to the kitchen.
“You are not serious right? You can’t be older than me, I don’t believe it” She said, folding her hands.
“You better believe it, Josephine” He smiled.
“Trying to cook, wanna help?” He faced her.
“Yeah, I’m hungry by the way” She smiled.
“What should we cook?” She asked.
“Spaghetti” He said.
“Okay, let’s go with that” She said and he smiled.
They were on the table eating from their plates, silence hung in the air as a silent atmosphere took over.
Josephine suddenly looked up when she was getting bored of the silence. They are just meeting for the first time but there’s this charisma around him, the cooking session with him was cool and he was fun to be with…She just realized that in a few minutes.
Pascal looked up too and their eyes met.
She quickly looked away.
“I can’t believe we’re relating well despite the fact that we are meeting for the first time” She said and he smiled.
“It’s shocking to me too, like it’s kinda odd for people who are meeting just for the first time to relate this well, we even cook together, we are roommates but…
“I understand what you are trying to say, well maybe our personalities aren’t like that” She said and he nodded.
“You are right about that”
“You are a good cook, you can pass as a chef” She said and he giggled.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I’m serious here, you need to teach me more about cooking” She replied and he smiled again.
“First time someone is complimenting my cooking ski||s, Nathan always told me that I cook poison”
“Who’s that?” She asked.
“My best friend” He replied.
“He is only pulling your legs”
“And the funny thing is that he would always finish the plate and ask for more” He said and Josephine started laughing.
Nathan was drying his head up with a towel as he stood before his closet. He dropped the towel and took out a thick striped sweater. Tonight seems cold. He took out his pants and changed into them.
He walked to the bed where his phone was lying and unlocked it. A beautiful woman was on the wallpaper, that’s his mother.
He smiled when he stared at her picture.
He went to his contacts and clicked on her number. The number started ringing until someone answered with an excited voice.
“Ayo” The voice said excitedly.
“My heart” He smiled.
“How are you, my son?” She asked.
“I’m fine mama, how’s Nigeria?”
“You shouldn’t be asking me about Nigeria” She replied and he laughed.
“Why?”
“This country is turning into something else Ayo, things cost these days” She said.
“But you dey manage nah, okay I go send you money next week” He said.
“No nah, you sent me money last week, you are a student, I know the government is funding your education but you can use the money for your needs ok” She said.
“Mama…
“I’m fine Ayo, hope the oyinbos there no dey give you headache bah?”
“Mama you know me nah, you can’t bully me”
“Always stand up for yourself, yunno” She said and he smiled.
“Mummy the accent, where are you learning it from?”
“Gerrout joor you think say nah only you fit speak accent, Wait!! How is your girlfriend?”
“I don’t have a girlfriend mummy”
“You are not lying to me right?” She asked.
“Have I ever hidden anything from you?” He replied.
“Get a girlfriend, you are 20” She said.
“Okay mum, I love you, good night”
” I love you too, take care of yourself, don’t get in trouble ok, may the lord keep on protecting you” She said.
“Amen” He smiled and hung up.
He dropped the phone on the bed and picked a book, his songs book.
He walked to the chair in the room and sat there, he opened the book and was about to start writing the lyrics when a knock came on the door. He dropped the pen and stood up, going to the door.
He opened the door and he smiled when he saw Pascal at the door.
“Pascal” Nathan called.
“Ayo” Pascal called, the accent he called the name with was so funny to hear.
“Hey don’t abuse my name like that, it’s Ayo, repeat” Nathan said.
“f-__-k you ok” Pascal said and Nathan smiled.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming over”
“I wanted to surprise you” Nathan replied.
“Come in oya werey ( Mad man)” Nathan said and turned, walking in.
Pascal closed the door and jumped on his back.
“Pascal!!!”
“Walk in with me” Pascal giggled on his back.
“Hey, come down” Nathan said and Pascal kissed his cheek.
“Hey!! I love p@zzy okay, I cast out that gay spirit in Jesus name…
“Amen” Pascal replied and kissed his other cheek.
“This guy wan die! Pascal” Nathan yelled and Pascal started laughing loudly.
He came down from his back and Nathan faced him.
“I love you” Pascal pouted.
“I h@ťě you” Nathan smiled.
“You ate before coming right cos I didn’t cook?”
“Yeah, so how was it? The recording label company?”
“As usual and you know the worst part?”
“No”
“The CEO said I sing like a child and I should work on my lyrics”
“What!! He must be mad” Pascal frowned.
“Hope you are not feeling bad?”
“I’m used to rejection anyway”
“I can’t wait for the day you will become a global star, i believe you will make it one day” Pascal said and Nathan smiled.
“Trying to write a song, wanna join?”
“Nah, where’s your phone?”
“On the bed” Nathan replied and walked to the chair. Pascal played a music on his phone and adjusted on the bed while Nathan started writing his lyrics down.
Josephine was already dressed up as she came out of the room.
She walk past Pascal’s room but she suddenly stopped and moved back.
“Pascal” She called.
“Pascal” She called again but got no response, only the echo of her own voice.
“Seems he isn’t yet back from his friend’s house” She said and walked away.
She got out of the house and entered her car, driving out of the house.
She’s starting her job today.
****
Pascal got home after Josephine left and he quickly rushed into his room. He’s already late, he didn’t wake up early, he was even the one that woke Nathan up.
He stripped and entered the bathroom and he used only twenty minutes there, he came out and used only ten minutes to dress up. He sprayed himself and got his backpack, he took his phone and ran out of the room.
Rushing out he suddenly remembered and he went back to her door.
He didn’t see her earlier when he came in. Maybe she is still sleeping.
“Josephine” He called softly.
“Josephine” He called again, knocking softly on the door.
No response came so he left her door and rushed out.
He got out of the house and his eyes went to the mini garage in the compound, he didn’t see her car there.
“Oh! She went to work, she must be working in a big company” He said and left.
🗣️ Nathan smile for us
🗣️ Nathan you are so cute
🗣️Can I have your number
🗣️ I love your dance
Pascal got to school and saw the girls surrounding Nathan and he was smiling as they kept flirting with him.
“Hey calm down girls” Nathan winked.
“I love your wink” A girl said.
“Can we be friends?” Another one asked.
“That bastard” Pascal muttered and started walking there, he got there and pushed himself inside, he grabbed Nathan and started pulling him away.
🗣️ Pascal
🗣️ My crush
The attention went to Pascal and he groaned, rushing away with Nathan from the crazy girls.
“You got to school and…
“Our first class is biology and you already know the story” Nathan cut in.
“When did you become this popular?” Pascal asked.
“I showed off a little of my dancing ski||s” Nathan replied.
“And you allow them to flirt with you?” Pascal frowned.
“Hey stop acting like a jealous girlfriend, ok, the girls flirting with me won’t hurt, I don’t have a girlfriend shouldn’t I be flirting?” Nathan winked.
“You are crazy” Pascal muttered and checked his wristwatch.
“Oh! The class is starting, let’s go”
“You and who? I was suspended, remember? Ain’t attending that class ever” Nathan said.
“I can’t argue with you now” Pascal grabbed his hand immediately.
“What are you doing?”
“Forcing you to class” Pascal replied and started dragging him to the class.
“Pascal!!” Nathan kept calling his name till they got to the class and surprisingly Gabriel wasn’t in class.
“Gabriel isn’t in class?” Pascal muttered as they went to their seat.
“Why is sir Gabriel not in class?” Pascal asked loudly at the hearing of the class.
“I heard there is a new teacher for biology” Jerry replied and Nathan faced him.
“What did you just say?” Nathan asked.
“You heard him right. There’s going to be a new teacher for biology” A girl replied and Nathan started smiling.
“I can’t wait” He said and started doing some breaking dance steps around the class.
The students started laughing and soon they started cheering him as he kept dancing perfectly. He started twerking and the screams increased.
🗣️ Nathan!!
🗣️ Nathan!!
🗣️ Nathan!!
🗣️ Go harder!!!
The class became noisy in a minute, Pascal was laughing as he kept watching everything. The moment was cut short when the principal came into the class.
“What is going on here?” He barked and faced Nathan.
“Nathaniel” He called.
“Sir”
“What were you doing? Dancing in the class?” He snapped and Nathan went back to his seat.
The class became so quiet that even the sound of a fallen pin could be heard.
“Good morning, there’s a new teacher for biology. Gabriel is no longer the biology teacher” The principal announced.
“Please come in, miss” The principal said and Josephine walked in, her beautiful figure gracing the class.
🗣️ OMG!!!
Pascal’s eyes fell on Josephine and his eyes widened when he saw her prettily standing there. She is the new teacher?
“Josep….” He said loudly unknowingly.
