“Who are you looking at hh?” Aisha who is seating at my side whispered into my ears.
“Nobody!”. I screamed and that brought the attention of everyone at my table. Bravo Claire, bravo!
Looking at my flush face, they most have guessed what is going.
“Looks like someone has a crush on our golden boy!”. Cole tease me while I shake my head indicating no. I know how people can make a big deal out of nothing. So I don’t want them in the near future thinking I like him. He is handsome and good to look at. Am just admiring God’s creation, there isn’t anything wrong with that right?
“Don’t even think about it, he is never going to look at you. You are just like the rest of his crush!.” Becky said bitterly. I wonder what’s her problem.
“Becky chill! Nobody is trying to steal your crush!”. O! So that’s her problem.
So just because she has a crush on him, so can’t look at him or what? For heaven sake he isn’t even her boyfriend.
“What did I say wrong? Am just warning her not to get her hopes high or she will have her heart broken.” Becky stated with an innocent look on her face. Well there is a saying that the devil have an innocent face. Not that I ask for advice miss advicer.
“You might want to keep the advice to yourself because he has been looking at her since he sat down.” Aisha came to my rescue. She obviously don’t like what Becky had said.
As soon as she said that, we all turned at looked at the Avila’s table and indeed he is look at me. Very intensely. I find that very strange. Maybe I look like someone he knows. He must have noticed us noticed looking at him, he turn his attention back to his table and we turn to yours too.
“Seee” Aisha sang-said while looking directly at Becky.
“He was just looking at this direction, how sure are we that he is looking at her?”. Becky fired back at her.
“Okay guys stop it! Let’s just eat okay!”. Ashley echoed and everyone kept quiet. I already lost my appetite and before any of them could react, I stood up and left the cafeteria and when to the venue of our next class.
After lunch was over, they all came back to class but nobody talked to me. Maybe be they thought I am anger at what happened.
“Hey! Am sorry for what Becky did at lunch, she can be childish sometimes”. Ashley who is seating beside me whispered into my ears just before the teacher entered.
“It’s fine! I am not angry”. I gave her a smile and turn my attention back to the board.

It’s was school closing time and I am waiting for mom to come pick me up. That’s kind of embarrassing I know. I really need to learn how to drive so that I can get my own car. Ashley had offered to give me a ride but I already called mom and she is on her way.
Just then, I saw the Aliva kids making their way towards the side of the car park where the expensive sports cars where parked. How that’s where I know their name from. Each of the cars have “Aliva” as their plate number. Cool I thought.
As they passed by where I was standing, they all turn to look at me as if they where analyzing me?. Well all then accept the most handsome aka my new crush. I can’t actually remember his name. After that, they kept on talking as they walk and it was as if they where talking about me. But that can’t possibly be true. Can it? Am a nobody to them.
Twenty minutes later, mom came and picked me up and as soon as I entered my room, I video called my friends in Australia.
“And guess who remembered us today!!”. Joyce said as soon as she picked the called.
I rolled my eyes at her; “you can’t be serious! We talked the day before yesterday”.
“Whatever Joyce, how is Australia!”. I asked her.
“Australia is still the Australia you know!”. She responded and we continued gisting waiting for the others girls to join the video call.
“What’s guys!”. Elsa said as she joined the video call. Soon Lily also joined and we begin to gist and catch on.
