Chapter Eight:The Fifth And The Last Child {Cont’d}

In the evening, Nina decided she would go to class,
that she won
t let Dennis stop her from studying.
In Ninas thought {its
not like I heard sex with him, it
s just a kiss. Besides he saw me today and didnt
talk about it, it
s probably not a big deal to him after all he still
went to the party and probably locked lips with Tina. I blame myself for
letting him kiss me but it
s all in the past now, i can also act like nothing
happened. }
Nina :{ reading as well as Evelyn and princess} Evelyn please pass me your ruler.
Dennis walks into the classroom and walks straight
to where she was sitting….
Dennis: you
came.
Nina:
yeah I did. You
ve seen my face, are you happy now?
Princess:
shhh…
Dennis:
princess, how are you doing?
Princess:
fine, you are making noise.
Dennis:
sorry, Amanda can I see you outside.
Nina 🙁 in her thoughts oh no why does he want me outside,
hope he doesn
t want to talk about the other night because Im
not ready for that)um, ok!
They went outside….what Nina didnt understand
is when you let a Nigerian guy kiss you he assumes you are his girlfriend. They
don
t have time to define relationships or ask where its going,
even the matured ones. But he was different….
Dennis
🙁 holds her hand) let me show you something.
Nina:
what? Where are you taking me?
Dennis:
(smiles) shhh, you are disturbing the class.
Nina:
wow, I
ve never being to this part of the school before.
It
s quiet and peaceful.
Dennis:
yeah, it is. That
s why I brought you here so we could talk.
Nina:
about what?
Dennis:
about our kiss.
Nina:
oh, what about it.
Dennis:
what do you mean what about it? Like its normal and you don
t
mind.
Nina:
yeah I guess.
Dennis:
so it
s ok that I kissed you.
Nina:
its past and I don
t want to talk about it.
Dennis:
why? Did I do something wrong?
Nina:
no, you didn
t, just like Im
not doing anything wrong. We kissed, you went back to your party, everyone
moved on.
Dennis:
what do you mean moved on? Are you dating someone else?
Nina:
someone else? Who was I dating before?
Dennis:
well I don
t know. I thought…
Nina:
thought what? That you might have a shot? Think again.
Dennis:
I
m sorry. Its
just since that night I couldn
t stop thinking about you and when I didnt
see you in class I missed you. I thought we had a connection, I thought you
felt what I felt.
Nina
🙁 speechless)
Dennis:
didn
t you? Amanda, you are not saying anything.
Nina
🙁 she was scared to admit but what has she got to lose by admitting) yes I did.
Dennis
🙁 draws closer to her and puts his hands on her shoulders) then what
s
the problem? Or where you serious about the guy at home?
Nina:
no I wasn
t. But I cant do
this.

Dennis:
why?
Nina:
my brother is not going to like this.
Dennis:
he doesn
t have to know if thats
what you mean.
Nina
🙁 she couldn
t handle the hotness around them meanwhile they
were outside) um, I don
t know. Please I have to get back.
Dennis:
wait, let me see you off. (Held her arm and felt her pulse) you are beating so fast.
Are you scared?
Nina:
no, I
m not.
Dennis:
wait, do you just want to go like that? (He holds he neck mildly to kiss her).
Nina:
she didn
t stop him.
They kissed and kissed until hes
hands started going places that she loved but felt it was too soon and stopped
the kiss.
Nina:
I have to go.
Dennis:
ok, I
m sorry. Let me see you off now.
As
they walked together they see Dennis
s roommate…
Kc:
guy, what
s up? (Shakes hand)
Dennis:
I
m good. Meet Amanda, my girlfriend.
Nina
🙁 shocked but didn
t express it and felt he probably meant his friend
that is a girl) smiled
Kc:
nice name, where are you from?
Nina:
from the east.
Kc: youre
my sister now. I think I
ve met your brother, fair right?
Dennis:
the guy in hostel B.
Nina:
yeah, that
s my brother.
Kc:
nice meeting you. Hope his not giving you trouble?
Nina:
no, he
s not.
Dennis:
{laughs}
Kc:
if he does I can deal with him for you.
Nina
🙁 giggles) ok
Kc:
bye Amanda! Guy, later.
Nina:
bye
She gets to the class and notices that princess and
Evelyn had gone to class. She didn
t feel like studying
anymore because she was so filled with his love. She just wanted to go to the
hostel and think about the kiss.
Dennis:
looks like your friends left you.
Nina:
imagine!
Dennis:
so what do you want to do?
Nina:
go to the hostel I guess. I can
t read alone!
Dennis:
I could stay in this class with you.
Nina
🙁 then she
s not going to be reading but staring at her book)
no thanks, I
ll go.
Dennis:
ok, I should walk you then (Holds her palm)…
Nina:
(she lets him hold her arm) so how was the party??
Dennis
🙁 laughs) okay, nothing spectacular.
Nina:
really, because I heard you were having a blast.
Dennis:
I was just living the moment. I danced with a couple of girls but that was it
but most of them were not up to my standard. The only person that tried was
Tina. She was quite a dancer.
Nina:
really!?!
Dennis:
(smiles) trust me, nothing happened between me and Tina and nothing will happen.
Besides she
s not my type.
Nina:
whatever! Here
s my stop. Goodnight.
Dennis
🙁 spreads his arms wide) not even a hug?
Nina
🙁 sighs like she doesn
t like it) and hugs him. Tries to pull away
Dennis:
why are you in a hurry?
Nina:
I
m not in a hurry, its
just late.
Dennis:
alright I
ll see you tomorrow. Bye
Nina:
bye
She
gets to the hostel and sees that all her roommates were asleep and went
straight to bed. The next morning, feeling guilty from last night…
Nina:
morning Bunkie!
Evelyn:
morning. What happened to you last night?
Nina:
you guys that left me last night.
Evelyn:
what do you mean left you? Do I know where you went?
Nina:
I didn
t go anywhere, I was around.
Evelyn:
I hear you.
It was almost the end of the semester and most of
them couldn
t wait to get home because they didnt
like how they were staying in a place without light, water. At a point, they
started drinking water from the stream when they couldn
t
buy water, no bank around for some people that had accounts at that time, no
good market. It was literally a terrible place and definitely not a place for
students but some people started liking the place because of they fell in love.
Some were in love; some had never had a boyfriend before so they saw it as an
opportunity to explore while some were just having sex.
At the end of the semester, there was no exam. The
exam for admission into the university was in the second semester. They all
went home one by one, Nina and her brother went home but before they did, Nina
didn
t have a phone number so Dennis gave her a number
she could use to reach him.
