ATTRACTION - CHAPTER 7&8

★★★★
{JEALOUS ANTHONY}

“That’s enough every one, if you say one more word James, you will be out of class” the teacher said to the boy who kept on asking questions and he kept shut.

Damina was still starring at Jane gorgeous beauty, she really is beautiful.

Damina found herself thinking which got her feeling down again, she was still starring at Damina when someone tap her from the other seat.

“Aren’t you going to open your text book?” The friendly black American girl asked as she showed Damina a text book.

“Oh!” Damina said as she quickly pulled out the text book.

“It’s page 79” the girl said to her while she told her a thanks.

*****
~ EMPTY CLASS~

“Aren’t you going for lunch?” Raymond ask as he walk into the class they normally use when they have nothing doing.

“Am not hungry” Anthony replied going through some pictures on his phone.

“Isn’t that Damina?” Raymond ask when he saw the pictures Anthony was going through.

“It is” Anthony replied still going through it.

“I must admit that your sister is gorgeous” Raymond said also starring at the pictures and on hearing that Anthony switch off his phone.

“I was still looking” Raymond said.

“You have no right to look” Anthony said before he could stop himself.

“Woah…..such a protective bro” Raymond mock as he sat on the desk beside him.

“What about Stephen?” Anthony asked.

“Went in search of your….baby sis” Raymond joke.

“What baby sis?”

“He went in search of Damina, he said he can’t bear to be apart from her and that he has this great urge to see her and……where are you going?” Raymond asked but Anthony was already out of the door before he finished talking.

*****
~ CAFETERIA ~

“And this is the cafeteria” Julia, the friendly girl who had help her with her text book earlier said as they walk into the cafeteria.

“Wow, it’s big and beautiful” Damina found herself saying.

“Common let’s go order some thing to eat cause am very famish from all the talking” Julia said as they went to get a tray to take their food.

Damina again felt self conscious and that’s due to the other students starring at her, something Julia notice.

“She claims to be Anthony sister but she has a different surname” A girl muttered as they walk past them to the next table.

“I heard she’s Nigerian, don’t you think she being his sibling is a lie?” Another ask bothering Damina from eating.

“Don’t pay attention to them, they are all just bunch of ignorant fools” Julia said which got her smiling.

“Am glad that you don’t think the same as them” Damina said.

“Who am I to when I have my own skeleton” Julia said again trying to cheer her up which work again.

“I truly don’t think she’s Anthony sister, they are just lying” the girl from earlier spoke again.

“I over heard Mary, Anthony sister saying that she’s not her sister and that she’s nothing but a……”

Damina couldn’t hear the sentence because a head set was placed on her hear while a melodious song drifted into her ear.

She turned to stare at the person who put it there and was surprised to see Stephen beside her.

“What are you doing?” Damina asked pulling the head set off her head.

“It’s better to listen to this than to listen to some bunch of crappy students speak” Stephen said starring at the girls from the other table who look away quickly.

“So just put it on your head,you need to listen to my playlist and tell me what you think” He said taking the head set from her hand and putting it on her head again.

Damina felt grateful towards Stephen and unknowingly she turned her head and gave him a smile which got Stephen catching in breath inwardly.

“Thanks” she whisper before turning to Julia who nodded her head in return.

The three of them burst out laughing and unknown to them all,Anthony stood at the cafeteria entrance starring at them while he clench his hands tightly.

“So I will send you the notes online and you review them so we can do the project on time okay” Julia said to Damina.

Damina was about to reply when she a car horning a distance away got her attention.

On seeing that it was Anthony, she quickly wave Julie off and ran to where Anthony and Mary was waiting.

“Am sorry I kept you waiting, I was just trying to get some notes from…….”

“It doesn’t matter” Anthony cut in gruffly which got her starring at him.

She saw the anger on his face and decide to wait for it to cool before she try talking to him again.

As soon as he drove them home, she turn to him wanting to ask him some thing when he left the car not giving her the chance to.

“Why is he angry?” She thought scratching her hair before getting out of the car.

“So how was school today?” Her father and Miranda both sat in the sitting room bombarding her with questions about her first day in school.

“It went well but every one are busy talking about how our surname are different” Damina confessed.

“That’s a slight mistake on my side,I will get the necessary document ready to make your name legal in the family…….”

“You don’t have to father, am fine bearing my mother name and don’t think that it’s because I don’t want to bear your name,I want to but I think we can save that for later” she said.

“Okay, I will do as you say” Her father replied patting her head softly.

“So any other thing you find a problem In school?” Miranda asked.

“Well am having problem with my math, well math have always been my weak point and I know I will improve if I got a tutor” Damina said.

“Well that’s easy peasy cause we’ve got a math genuis at home ” Miranda said.

“Who?” Damina ask hoping it isn’t Mary.

“Who else but Anthony, his IQ in math is incredible,you should go to him for any problem you need to solve ” Miranda said while Damina felt a rush of happiness.

The fact that Anthony will be tutoring her got her feeling excited and at that moment Anthony walk down the stairs.

“Come here Tony, you see Damina jas difficulty in math, you can teach her right?” Miranda ask and he turn an angry look at her which destroyed the happiness she was feeling at that moment.

“Sure,I can” he replied smoothly before he left them alone heading back up stairs.

“Hurry and go after him” Miranda said pulling her up.

“Now? ” Damina asked.

“Yes, the earlier you start the better for you” Miranda said pushing her a little and Reluctantly she went up the stairs.

A while later she stood in front of his door with her things wondering if she should knock or not.

He’s still angry and she couldn’t help but to think that he’s angry at her though she didn’t know what she did.

She decided to leave only for the door to open startling her.

She went in and saw him walking towards his desk to seat there.

How on earth did he know that she was at his door? She thought still starring at him.

“Let’s get on with it cause I have some where to be” he said gruffly which got her going to seat beside him.

Just as she was about to open her book her phone began to ring and on seeing that it was Stephen, she cut the call.

“Don’t you have to pick?” He ask looking angry.

“No, let’s start with the tutoring” she said and just then her phone began to ring again.

She ended the call and turn to him only to see him frowning at her.

“Am sorry” she said smiling a little hoping to lighten his mood but that didn’t seem to work.

The phone began to ring again and he said to her gruffly.

“Answer it”

Slowly she answered the call and was about to speak when it was snatched from her.

“Call some other time cause She’s busy and don’t think of calling back right after I end the call or I promise that I will punch your face as soon as I get to school tomorrow” he thr_@tened ending the call before throwing her phone on his bed.

She stood up wanting to go and take it but he held her hand and pulled her back in her seat.

“Are you that eager to talk to him?” Anthony ask.

“Of course not, I only want to get my phone and……”

“I h@?? it! ”

“What?”

“I h@?? it when you talk to Stephen, infact I h@?? it when you talk to other guys apart from me, so stay away from every other guy except me” he said startling her into silence……
