My Best Friend

we were not saying a word to each other, till we got home.
We were already at home, I just went to my room and la!d on my bed,
I was mad at myself for nothing! I blamed myself for meeting paul and having a so called thing with jeff! I don’t think it’s love,
I’m just his tool for satisfaction, sooner or later he’s leaving my sorry Bottom back to the united states! And I’m here feeling sorry
for him. I’m sttupid and out of my mind. I said in my mind, as tears rolled down my eyes to my cheeks. I wiped it off,
immediately I heard a knock on the door. Who is it? I asked. It’s me! Silly. Pamela said. I wiped my tears again and cleaned my eyes.
I opened the door. “Hey” I said with a fake smile.
Pamela:hmmm, your eyes

Me: my eyes, what about it?

Pamela: it looks wet

Me: yeah something entered my eyes

Pamela: sorry, did you buy the oranges?

Me : yes, it’s over er there We went over to the bed, as we lay down together, she wanted
my phone, but I told her I was using it. I was not really using it,
she started telling me that obinna was here, when I and jeff left and he said he thinks he likes me, she said it and started laughing, I laughed too, even though it wasn’t funny to me and was not really happy or in the mood to laugh

Pamela: omg! He was like he thinks he likes you, i couldn’t help but laugh, but he’s cute, right?

Me: he’s not that bad. I’m tired I feel like sleeping already. My hEad hurts, I feel hurt

Pamela: hey! Sorry, um lemme get you panadol

Me: don’t bother I think I’ve one with me

Pamela: are you sure? *licking the orange*

Me: yeah, lemme take a bath first

Pamela: ok I got up and undressed in front of her, I totally forgot that she was attracted to girls! But it seems she was not even looking at me,
she was busy with her phone and licking her orange. She laughed and looked me, I was still trying to get my towel

Pamela: jedo said he’s coming here tomorrow to see you

Me: *laughs * let him come na, he will see his ghost

Pamela:*laughs* shey he is your boyfriend?

Me : not only boyfriend *sighs * and went over to the bathroom I was done talking my bath, pamela was still in my room, licking all the oranges alone, “do you want some”? She asked me I looked at her and was still looking for what to wear in my bag.

I replied “you have finished licking all of them And you’re now asking me now, mitcheeew” she laughed and said that three is
remaining. I told her to leave one for me, she did. I rubbed my lotion and wore my pjs.

I collected the orange from her and was
started licking it. She was on her phone, doing whatever she was doing and was laughing, so I don’t know what came over me to ask her about her boyfriend, the one that came over some time ago, even though I promise that I’ll never ask about her love life, but she replied me and told me things I couldn’t believe she’d say tt to me

Pamela : um he’s good, but um right now we’re on break, we can’t date now, when I need him, I’ll call him
Me: wow! That some relationship

Pamela : yes. I’ve to go, someone needs me

Me : *confused * who?

Pamela: my sugar daddy *chuckles * goodnight! Drink the panadol, love you!*pecks me* Bye

Me: * laughs *love you too. Night She left, I locked the door. I was even feeling sleepy, so I started sleeping I got up the next morning. It was 8:05, I guess. Still rolling on the bed.
I picked my phone. I saw a missed call and messages, I decided to check the call first. It was jeff I was surprised, he called me like seriously! On checking the messages, I had one
from him saying: I DIDN’T MEAN TO CALL YOU, IT WAS A MISTAKE. JUST SO YOU KNOW. DON’T REPLY PLEASE. ……

I was mad and angry and sad at the same time,. The “don’t reply part” got into me. Why is he putting this on me? I sighed and
checked other messages, one from paul too! Saying trash, I just kept the phone and went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and
washed my face, I came out and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, I was so hungry, didn’t eat last night, on getting there; Jeff was in the kitchen too, cooking noodles. He
looked at me and went over to the dinner table and sat on the chair, he brought out his phone and was looking at it, just to give me attitude.

Well I didn’t say anything, I just turned the other burner on and boiled hot water. I was sitting down on the kitchen stool, waiting for the water to be done. He also got up to come
and check his noodles, it was done already, he brought it out and pour it on a bowl, as he went over to the dinner to eat, I was still patiently waiting for the water to be done. The next thing it was whistling, I got up and turned the burner off. I made coffee, there was no bread! No wonder jeff was eating noodles I guess….
I sighed. I opened the upper cabinet, where they normally keep biscuits and candies, there was a cabin biscuit there, so I decided to drink my cofee with the biscuit. I went over to dinner
and sat down. I was facing jeff this time around. He looked at me and was still eating noodles. He didn’t say anything to Me. He
was really acting like he doesn’t care, I felt bad, I also wanted to act like I don’t care, but I couldn’t help it. I took a sip of my coffee as I looked at him, he looked at me too, and was eating his noodles, he then got up! I thOught he was about to leave, so I said immediately
Me: where are you going?

Jeff : was that suppose to mean?

Me: I don’t know. A question

Jeff : answer yourself He left to the kitchen, I turn around and he was actually getting
water from the fridge. I turned back and took a bite of the biscuit.

He sat down and was eating his food, so fast! Maybe he wants to get away from me, I guess.

Me: take it easy, you’re eating like an animal

Jeff : * laughs * can’t you just learn to ignore and mind your business, is that too hard!

Me: what did I do to you? Y r u mad at me?

Jeff : *coughs* I’m eating, I don’t talk when am eating, you should do the same too, infact! I think am done.

He got up and left, I was shocked!, I couldn’t believe him, I wanted to cry, but I didn’t . I couldn’t eat it again.

I got up and was about to go to my room, when I saw pamela coming downstairs, she was still yawning and said something, I didn’t get, so I asked her what she was saying. She laughed and said nothing, I just said “Good morning” I looked at her and laughed. The pamela I know can’t greet you just like that.

Well I said good morning back and asked how her night was and the rest. She wanted to drink coffee too, but then I had to let her know, that there was no bread, she sighed and decided to eat noodles too. I was still there talking to her, when jeff walked in and dropped the bowl into the sink. He looked at both of us, then he eventually gave this look, like I’m still mad at you. I turned and was looking at pamela to avoid her trying to figure out anything, she started teasing her brother, they were both
laughing, I felt left out, so I had to leave to my room. I decided to take a Bath, when I heard a knock on the door, I was on my towel already. I don’t know who it was, I didn’t ask who, so I decided to check and to my surprise, it was jeff.

Me : um *laughs *

Jeff : can I come in?

Me : and do what?

Jeff : and talk. Look I’m sorry

Me : so now you’re sorry I was so angry, I felt like straggling him to death, but he looks so
cute I couldn’t help it and he was looking at me and I was looking at him too. We were still looking at each other, when pamela yelled at him. “What are you doing there? Is Jennifer
there?” She yelled. Jeff looked at her and told her to mind her business. She got angry, and asked me what we were doing or even saying, I looked at her and said. “Why are you even asking me, why must you even ask me”?
Jeff laughed as he pulls his sister close, who eventually tries to slap him. Pamela was like,
all the time you two are together, what are you guys talking about. I pretended to be angry, so I told her that Jeff was asking me about my brother, something about him. I looked at her and she quickly bought the lie. So I closed my door as I went to take my bath.
