*Chapter 3&4*
[ It hurts badly ]
“You should talk to him Noah”Ma Angel said and Noah walked away also.
“I’ll be leaving now, make sure you make him eat and don’t make him shout and remember what your job is”she said and also walked away without waiting for the translator machine to translate.
“Hey man, she isn’t that bad”Noah fell on the bed immediately in walked in.
“That language is so disgusting, can’t have her going around with me”Xavier snapped as he pulled off his clothes, heading to the bathroom.
“True, but I kind of love the language, sounds sweet when she says it”Noah said and Xavier stopped walking to stare at him.
“Just get it done with her”he scoffed and walked away while Noah chuckled.
“I’ll be down, get down to eat, don’t be late!”Noah said and walked out.
Xavier turned on the shower and stood there close to ten minutes with eyes closed before doing his business.
Few minutes later, he came down but didn’t see Noah.
“Where’s he?”he muttered.
“That your friend talk say something happen say he go follow you talk later”June said and he stared at her, not getting a thing she’s saying.
He brought out his phone from his pocket and there’s a message sent from Noah. He scoffed and drop the photo.
“Ladies won’t ki|| you”he muffled and June dropped a plate of rice in front of him.
“Leave”he said but she didn’t move.
“I said you should leave, go!”he shouted.
“Ah! Ma Angel say make you no shout ooo, she say make I no leave you for any minute”she said and the translator was about translating when Xavier picked it and throw it away angrily. He picked his phone and dialed Ma Angel contact.
📱 Right now mom, I’m losing it. I don’t even understand what she’s saying and the worst part is that she doesn’t know when I need to be alone. He said.
📱 You rejected all the better once, giving her a chance won’t hurt, you need this for your health soon. She said.
📱I have Noah mom. He said.
📱I need to have a shower, kisses. She hanged up and he stood up angrily, but June blocked him.
“You never chop now”she said.
“What the hell! Can’t you say something better!”he raised his voice.
“Me I no know wetin you dey say ooo, na you break that thing now”she said and he turned, taking the food and walked upstairs.
“Better oo”June said.

Xavier got down and walked to the dinning. June is standing with his drug.
“Good morning small oga”she said and he stared at her angrily.
“Can we not start today with that”he muttered and a translator did it’s job. He stared at it, obviously his mom got a new one.
He had only five spoon and stretched his hand for his drug. June placed two pills and he swallowed it.
“You don ready for school?”She asked and he stood up, ignoring her completely. June picked her cross bag and ran after him. His hand tucked in his pocket.
He got on his scooter. June got on the other one but she screamed and jumped off immediately.
“I no fit to am ooo……”She was still talking when Xavier left her side.
“See this small pikin, he no know say I fit be him aunty”she said and began running to catch up with him.
“What the hell do you mean, she can’t possibly ride with me!”Xavier said to his driver.
“It’s Ma Angel’s order”he said. Xavier got in the car and they waited for a while before June joined them. She was panting.
“Ah! This one pass me ooo”she muttered as she kept breathing heavily.
Few minutes later, they got to college. Xavier was the first to get off but he met Noah in front of him.
“Slept well?”Noah asked but he ignored him, walking away and Noah ran after him. June also followed.
“Come on, you know I wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t important”Noah said.
“A girl has become important than your best friend”Xavier scoffed and Noah chuckled.
“You look like a jealous boyfriend now”Noah teased and he frowned.
“Wow June, you look beautiful”Noah faced June and she smiled.
“Thank you”She said and he smiled.
They got to their first class for lecture, but it seems like they’re early.
“You can’t come in here, you aren’t a student”Xavier faced June who was about walking in.
“But Ma Angel talk say make I go everywhere way you go”she said and he groaned in frustration. What the hell did she just say.
“Just wait outside till I’m out”he said and walked away. June stood out, staring at the hallway as students kept walking.
In few minutes, the class is already filled up and a lecturer is in.
“Hey”a guy said and June looked up. She eventually sat down on the ground when her legs kept hurting.
“Me? You sabi me?”She pointed at herself and the guy smiled.
“Knew instantly you aren’t from here, I’m Finch”He said, stretching out his hand and June placed her hand on his as they shaked.
“Why are you out here?”He asked and she stared at him in confusion, not understanding a thing.
He smiled and brought out his phone, downloading a translator app immediately.
“Why are you here?”He asked again and it got translated from the app.
“Long story ooo”she said and he smiled.
“Came with someone?”He asked.
“Yes na, him name na Zavier”she said and he laughed.
“You mean Xavier?”
“Ehn, na how I call am, he still be the same thing”She said and he smiled.
“Lemme hear you say my name, Finch”He said and she thought for a while before talking.
“Fish na”she said smiling and he laughed.
“Fish?”
“Yes na, tell your mama make she change am ooo, how human being go dey bear fish”she said and he smiled.
“It’s Finch not fish”he said.
“Na the same thing”She said.
“Okay fine, let’s go in”he said and the phone translator translated as usual.
“I no be student na”she said and he sighed.
“I’ll see you later then”he said and walked in. June sat back on the ground, bending her head on her knees, she slept off.
Two hours later, the class was over and students began walking out.
Diamond and Gold were on their way to see Xavier as usual when they saw June. She lay on the ground. As in she’s sleeping on the ground.
“What the hell!!”Gold shouted.
“Did she fall from the sky?”Diamond blinked but despite their screaming, she didn’t move her body.
By now, everyone already gathered. Videoing already.
“Hey, June wake up!”Finch ran out, tapping her but she didn’t even move her body
“Do you know her?”Someone asked but he kept tapping her.
“Do you know her??”Diamond shouted but he stood up and ran into the class.
Finch and Xavier are known to be enemies in everything, even their families aren’t on good terms with each other.
“Hey, the girl out, she came with you right?”He said but Xavier ignored him.
“I’m talking to you!!”He shouted.
“What’s it Finch?”Noah asked.
“The girl, she’s laying on the ground and wouldn’t wake up”he said and Noah ran out immediately but Xavier didn’t even move his body.
“June!!!”Noah hit her repeatedly but June still didn’t move.
A student walked to her with a juice and opened her mouth slowly, pouring it in. It took only a sec for June to open her eyes after tasting the juice.
“What the hell!!!!”
“Wetin be that?”she scratched her eyes but they all stared at each other in confusion since she’s saying something else.
At that same time, Xavier walked out.
“You don finish?”She ran to Xavier who starred at her with disgust and she frowned.
“Wetin happen? I dey smell?”She said and he looked away and tried walking away but she held him.
“Forget say you rich ooo, I senior you throwway. You just dey do anyhow you like cause your papa get money or wetin, me I wan tell you say I no fit take that eye way you dey use look me again. Next time you do am, I go use my hand remove your eyes!”She said but he kept staring at her.
“Wetin?”She asked and he shocked her by pushing her off. She fell heavily on the floor.
“Your language is disgusting same with you”he said and finally walked away.
June sat there in shock. She understands what he said perfectly well and she feels really sad about it.
Students kept videoing and taking pictures but she cared less. Noah was about walked to her when Finch beat him to it, taking her out.
**
Finch took her to an empty class.
“Hey, don’t take what he says to heart”Finch said after he sat her down and she looked up.
“How old you be?”she asked.
“Hold on”he brought out his phone.
“Repeat it”he said.
“How old you be?”she said again.
“Nineteen”he said.
“No wonder he dey behave like pikin way he be”she muttered and he smiled.
“You don’t look old”Finch said.
“I no old but I senior him far far”she said and he nodded.
“You know where he dey?”she asked.
“Probably in our next class”he said.
“Abeg carry me go there”she stood up and he blocked her.
“I wanna learn your language, can you teach me”he said and the app translated. June wrapped her hands before smirking, raising her eyebrows funnily.
“You go pay”she said and he laughed immediately the app translated what she said.
“Seriously? You’re funny”he laughed.
“Eh na, I go funny for money matter”she said and he laughed more.
“I’ll pay”he said.
“Na now you dey talk, when make we start?”she asked.
“Tomorrow, at lunch time”he said.
“Oya make we dey go”she said and he nodded while they walked out.
