It's been two days since I last saw Xavier, after he kissed me the feeling of his lips touching mine still makes my lips tingle.
"Miss limah pay attention"
"Sorry ma'ma"
I was currently in chemistry class now and I wasn't even paying attention to what the teacher was teaching.
My thoughts always revolves around Xavier now when he kissed me I was shocked, a lot of things were going through my head at that particular moment in time.
Questions I still keep on asking myself up untill now.
Why did Xavier kiss me?
Why did he run off?
What would have been my reaction if Xavier didn't stop on Time?
Would I have kissed him back?
I could feel Zion staring at me I have been so occupied with Xavier and everything that I even forget about Zion.
God I'm a terrible friend.
"Everybody go to the lab now"
"But before that I would pair you guys in a group" the teacher said
Angelica and Ashley
Fiona and Hayden
Huh I didn't even know I had the same chemistry class with Hayden I turned around and saw him sitting at the far end of the class.
Before he could notice my gaze I turned around quickly.
Jason and James the teacher continue announcing the name till I heard
Limah and Zion
"Everybody head to lab" the teacher added before leaving the class
"Hi" Zion was already standing beside me
"Hi" I quickly put all my stuff back in my bag ready to leave the classroom.
"Limah can I talk to you" I looked back and saw Zion still standing close to my desk.
"Can't we do that after class"
"We are already two minutes late am sure the teacher have started by now" added looking at him
"Sure"
When I got to the Lab the teacher was about to start, Zion sat beside me almost too quickly I looked at him and offered him a small smile.
"Let's start the experiment" the teacher announced.
"Ensure that you all have a 250ml pipette, a 250ml conical flask a burette a beaker a solution of dilute HCL, a solution of NAOH.
"An indicator solution, a tripod stand and most importantly check on your work station" the teacher continued walking around the lab room to ensure we were all doing the right thing.
When we started working I could feel Zion gaze on me and it was getting quite uncomfortable and too obvious but I decided to brush it off and focus on what we were doing.
After chemistry class, I headed to my locker and zion was already waiting there for me.
"Oh hi you wanted to talk me earlier about something"
"Oh about that forget about it is not even important anyways" he mumbled.
"You sure"
"Yh".
"Are you okay"
"You weren't paying attention in class you looked distracted" Zion added looking at me with a very serious expression on his face.
This guy really knows how to change his mood less than 2mins ago he was smiling, now he looks all serious i thought to myself.
"Yh I'm okay right" it sounded more like a question than a answer.
The expression on his face made it clear that it didn't believe me but he didn't push the matter any further and I was grateful for that.
"Alright see you later"
"Bye"
Later on, My dad texted me he won't be able to pick me up I should take the bus home.
When I got home I took a long shower immediately I left the bathroom I quickly got dressed and sat on my bed drying my hair.
I looked towards the chair close to my window which was Xavier favorite spot.
I was already use to Xavier sitting there, I sighed slightly I was interrupted from my thought by the noise coming from downstairs.
I saw my dad in the kitchen with his faced covered with blood and bruises.
"Oh my gosh Dad what happened to you" I quickly ran towards him.
"Hi limah" my dad said trying to smile but with the expression on his face I know something was wrong.
"Dad what happened to you" I said touching the bruise on his face
"Ouch" my dad cringed slapping my hands off his face.
"Don't worry about it let me go clean this up quickly"
"And I would prepare dinner okay" my dad added
"Seriously dad"
"How can you say for me not to worry about you".
"You hardly home and you come home now looking like this" I added gesturing with my hands pointing to his face.
"Dad" I called out weakly.
"What happened to you I don't even know you anymore" I tried to hold back the sob threatening to come out.
"Limah go to your room i'm fine"
"But" I tried saying
"Now" my dad added shouting.
I quickly ran off to my room, my dad has never raised his voice on me liked that I cried that night so hard for the first time again.
I cried till I had no tears left and drifted off to sleep.
