★( THE FAMILY HE’D WISH HE HAD ) ★
“Where does it hurt?” The school nurse asked.
“Every part of my stomach hurts” Paige winces and as Carding pat her back softly, she smiled secretly increasing the wince so Carding can pat her back the more.
“My stomach hurts Carding” She winces, and Carding not knowing what to do hug her.
“She’s in so much pains, do something about it nurse” Carding said worriedly, and not having any idea that Paige was faking it, he wished he could take the pains from her if he can.
“Since the pains is excess, I’ll have to inject her”
And hearing the word INJECT, Paige quickly spranged up.
“I’m okay now” She said.
“You sure?”
“Yes Carding, I’m not feeling pains anymore, I’ve to go” Paige said and rushed out of the ward.
“Sorry for the disturbance” Carding apologize, and the nurse smiles.
“Is Fine, go on”
Carding slightly bows, before leaving.
“Where did she go?” Carding muttered looking for Paige, and he sees her sitting outside the school’s swing, he sighs before going to her.
He pushed the swing from the back slightly and Paige turns, she smiles on seeing him.
“Carding” She muttered smiling.
Carding returns the smile and sits in the second swing.
“Are you sure your okay now? You seemed to be in so much pain earlier” Carding said.
“I’m fine now, You don’t have to worry about me”
“I can’t stop myself from worrying about you because I….”
Paige’s ears stands hearing the word I….
“Because you what Carding?” Paige asked gulping down her saliva.
“Because I… I care about you Paige, Your my friend, that’s what we’re, right?”
Paige let out a little smile.
“Yes, We’re just friends” She said and Carding nods sadly.
“Seems like you and Nadine are close”
“She’s my childhood friend, Our parents also know each other, but I’m more closer to Angelo and Dylan”.
And Paige nods.
Carding looks at her, and her eyes were fixed on the sky, he chuckles before standing to his feet. He went behind her and push her from the back.
Paige’s feet raised from the ground to the air.
“Carding, stop” Paige said holding the chains of the swing.
Carding laughs and push her again, and feets went above the ground.
“I told you to stop!” Paige said laughing, as Carding kept pushing the swing.
Nadine sees them together and crimps her fingers tightly.
Carding might not be an arrogant or rude Guy, but not once in their 17 years of knowing each other has Carding laugh with her (Nadine), the way he was playing and laughing with Paige.
“I won’t sit back and watch you take Carding from me Paige, he knew me first, so he’s mine” Nadine said angrily.
*****
Paige came out from the restroom and Nadine blocked her part.
“Move if you don’t want me to disfigure your face” Paige said.
“You should go into acting” Nadine said and Paige creased her eyebrows.
“Don’t give me that look Paige, I know you pretended to have an ailment just so you can get Carding’s attention.. Too bad Carding is blinded to see your fake pretends”
“And I don’t see it as your business Nadine, so move if you don’t want me to smash your little head on the wall”.
“Carding belongs to me Paige”
Paige chuckles.
“And does it look like he’s a book that you can claim after buying it from a bookshop, huh?”
Nadine smiles.
“I know you are in love with him, Carding is a sweetheart and is hard not to fall for his charms… But don’t forget that you both are from different worlds”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Carding’s Dad. He doesn’t favor those that belongs to the poor background, and unfortunately your in this school because of the scholarship granted to you, if by chance Carding decides to date you, his dad will never in this life time accept you as the girlfriend of his son, cuz you don’t match the standard of the high class. Uncle Vince will prefer me to be Carding’s girlfriend, cuz firstly, he favours me a lot. secondly, I’m from a rich home and lastly, I’m the top third popular model here in Chicago, so you see I fall in place of being the perfect girl Uncle Vince wants for his son” Nadine said smiling.
Paige scoffs.
“Are you done with your speech?”
“Huh?”
“You really know how to give speeches Nadine, rather than wasting your time in the modeling world, you should go into newscasting, you really know how to deliver news perfectly, or better still, go into talkshow”. Paige said.
“Are your ears clogged?.Carding’s Dad…..”
“To hell with his Dad Nadine, I don’t give a darn about his Dad, Your right I’m head over heels in love with Carding, and if he happens to love me back and we start a relationship, I won’t f-__-king care about his dad, I’m going to stand for my love for him. So the better you get it installed in that little brain cells of yours, the lesser headaches your going to get” Paige said and walks away.
Nadine stamped her foot on the ground angrily.
*****
Paige scoffs as she walks alone outside the school’s hallway.
“She thought I was going to get swayed by her words. If Carding loves me just like I love him, his grumpy Dad won’t be a problem, I’ll just have to plunk out his eyes” Paige said and kicks an empty can of soda.
“But what if I’m the only one who loves him?” Paige said and sighs.
“Paige”
Paige turned and sees Odessa waving at her with a smile.
“Ma Odessa” She muffled looking surprised, Odessa smiled.
******
A RESTAURANT***
Odessa smiles as she watch Paige slurping the noddles she was eating.
“Do you want some more?” Odessa asked.
Paige looks at her and slowly shakes her head.
“I’m sorry if I eat so noisily”
“Is fine Paige, and I like everything about you”.
Paige gulped down her saliva, and continues eating slowly, but after some minutes, she drop her cutleries and looks at Odessa.
“Why did you take me out for lunch?”
“Why? Do you find it awkward?”
“No, I’m just surprised your treating me out for lunch” Paige said.
“Your my son’s friend and your the first girl, he hanged out with”
“What about Nadine? Both are childhood friends”
“Yes they’re, but Carding isn’t close to her, the way he’s close to you” Odessa said smiling.
Paige looks sideways and continues eating, Odessa smiles.
“I’ve have something to give to you” Odessa said and Paige looks at her.
