Chapter 8

Damian

Seeing him here means this place is in danger...

I made sure Xavier didn't see me telling the green snake boss to meet me outside.

" Please I beg of you, don't cause trouble here", I pleaded with him.

" Oh Damian son of his father, why are you judging me so wrong like your father, am just here to take some taxes as usual".He said.

"Taxes, I still don't understand what you mean by that?", I asked.

" Simple Damian, very simple, they sell our stocks here and I don't expect you asking me what those stocks are cause you know".

" Well, this is a shop where families and good personality unlike you come here for shopping, now tell me why will that innocent girl taking the money, will be the one to pay you taxes, I know you have plans but I promise you, if you cause trouble, I will start my first kill with you".

He laughed at me and later said, " Damian you aren't clever like you think, school books is far different from reality, that girl you mentioned the cashier is well-armed, don't let her pretty face deceive you, she sells as well but on code, vacation will soon be over and you know the meaning of that and stay out of trouble", he left.

" I hate him and I want to kill him", Xavier snapped me out of my thought saying, " You came out so quickly, or was the cashier flirty with you?"

" Na,not at all just decided to come out, let me help you with this, hope we are done here".

" Yes we are, let's take this back to my place".

" Sure birthday boss" We laughed.

" I don't want him to get in danger because of me but am happy they didn't come in for a fight".

At school, I was happy the rumor of that video has reduced a bit, now the girls are at it again flirting, Ellie approached me with a moody face.

" Damian am having issues with a topic in math".

" Guess you came at the time I was about reversing this topic", I sat in a classroom same with her as I proceed to explain the topic to her.

" Guess you understood how it works?" I asked

" Yes my lifesaver, I understood, let's go eat together at the cafeteria".

I knew it, she wasn't here for some explanations but to flirt with me.

" Am sorry Ellie, I can't, you go with friends".

" You are something else, I thought we are going to be friends, why don't you find Interest me and why her?"

She continued nagging and nagging but I just gave a deaf ear, when she was done, I faked a phone call just to leave her presence then I bumped into Nora.

" Hi darling, are you avoiding me?".

" Hey noisy stop acting like we are close please"

" Are we not, tell me the truth, if they didn't open that door, you were ready to kiss me".

I walked closer to her and said, " Hey noisy, snap out of your fantasy and stop dreaming that both of us we ever are a thing". I said this and walked away.

My birthday party is close already and I decided to invent some of the students in school.

I walked to Nora after the class and said," Nora please five minutes, I have something important to tell you".

She rolled her eyeballs and said," Fine you got me so speak".

" Here", I give her the party card for my birthday, " Am inviting you to my birthday party this weekend at my place".

" Wow, will your cold friend also attend?".

I wasn't happy with her question, why would she just bring up such.

"Well it's under probability if he's going to come or not, he not a party freak".

" Make him come and I will come as well"

" Really, fine his going to come, happy now and please get my gift for me as well".

Was about taking my leave when she requested something else, " One more thing".................................

I invited Ellie as well and she asked the same question about Damian, the reason I invited her is for her to talk with Damian in other for me to have little time with Nora, I hope it works out well and it's long I played the T or D game.

Now, this is my major problem, my cold friend refuse to attend my party, " Come, Damian, the party won't be crowded I promise you?"

" Am truly sorry but I have something important to attend to that particular day".

" I won't forgive you".

" I will make it up to you with the upcoming test, promise"

" Just get lost already I said to him.

Nora

" One more thing, I will be needing your friend's number, I will wish to ask him some questions about an equation and also to know if he's attending or not"., I said.

" He won't like that"

" Don't worry he won't know okay besides doing this for my late twin brother" I gave him the puppy look.

" Fine you got me but don't ever mention my late friend name, you know I can't resist"

"Now let me dial his number"

I fell on my bed, " Hi handsome".

" Sorry who is speaking?", he asked.

" Wow your voice is also cute on-call Mr cold face"

" Noisy, how did you get my contact hum?"

" Well let's skip that part, Xavier's party is tomorrow you know, so are you coming?"

"What, did he just hung up on me"

I called back but yet he wasn't answering," Jerk".

I came out of the party to get some fresh air outside and hoping he comes...

" Well I don't think he will come, better I just leave"

I thought of my late brother and sat at a spot crying silently.

TBC.
