Chapter 3: Blooming
Trust me when I say I got tired of Wilmer Academy.The first term was a full of activities like welcoming new students, orientation, guidelines, rules and regulations blah blah blah,it went well,met some cool kids though I wouldn't say they wanted to be friends with me but I enjoyed their company.The orientation lasted a week after my resumption from suspension, dealing with my mom at home was a different thing all together, though she has forgiven me and I tried my best to make Gillian not have a hint of what happened, because I didn't want him worrying about anything.Fast forward back to school,came early the next week after orientation,and all eyes were on me as I walked through the hall way, like I was some alien from Jupiter,I walked with my head down avoiding any eye contact when I suddenly bumped into someone and the liquid content in his hand splashed on my shirt "I'm so sorry...God,I ruined your shirt"he said trying to wipe it off with his face towel when I stopped him"no you do have to do that, I'll take care of it"I said feeling ashamed and wished I would just vanished before their sight,the whispering increased as he took me away from the crowd and led me to the school bursar where he made payment for a new uniform and handed it to me"Here,this is my little way of saying I'm sorry"I received it not knowing what to say to him"You must be Jasmine Okorie, I've heard about you before,wow that punch was massive,I never believed a new student like you would have the balls to do that, I'm impressed at least Princess would know her place"I never knew I was this popular,alk thanks to my stupid reaction to things"I'm Blossom by the way,nice meeting you"he introduced himself extending his arms for a handshake which I accepted and just like that our friendship was established.Break time saw us eating lunch together,we drew everyone's attention as they took turns to look and when they got tired they faced their business.Blossom was a really nice person,a sweet soul,he spoke to me like he knew me before and he made me feel comfortable.The new uniform he bought me was a little above my knees,the skirt was short and the shirt was fitted, revealing my big boobs which made some guys in my class look at me differently; let's just say I looked hot in my new uniform,all thanks to mom who passed her beautiful figure down to me, anyways moving away from that, break time was over and we headed back to class, sadly Blossom wasn't a member of my class,he was a science student while I was an art student,so we went our separate ways and came back together after school,we walked out of the school building, towards a red G Wagon and stopped "Here's my ride home,come on in let Chima take you home"he offered pointing to the man behind the steering who smiled at me and I didn't know when I reciprocated"No thanks I'm good,I have to wait for brother so that we can both go home together and besides my house is just nearby so I can trek, thank you so much for the help you've rendered to me,I don't just know how to pay you back,I really appreciate "I hate to decline honestly but I have to, maybe some other time"Alright if you insist,see you tomorrow and get home safe"he didn't look happy I declined as he got into the front seat and sat beside Chima who started the engine and drive off,I waved at Blossom till the car was out of sight then I turned only to find Gillian grinning at me from ear to ear"He looks cool and nice, you guys were on everyone's lips today,they were surprised you could flow with an elite like that,but he seems different from others and I like him"I was surprised Gillian liked him which made me put my hands across his shoulder and we walked home smiling to ourselves.
