“WHEN YOU GET to this stage you will add 2 to the answer you got in step 4 and that’s how you’ll get your…..” I zoned out what Mr Joe was saying as I recalled what happened yesterday over and over again.
‘Because I want you to get stronger Amanda, because I want you to be able to fight back anytime you need to’ As I remembered Frederick’s words I didn’t know when a small smile plastered itself on my face.
“What are you smiling at creep?” I heard Damilola ask from beside me making me to automatically frown. I can’t believe that from all the people that could be the one to sit beside my table she had to be the one.
Ignoring her completely I once again began to recall the events of yesterday. After Frederick and I hugged I felt soo embarrassed that I ran out of there probably faster than Usain Bolt but not before muttering a ‘See you tomorrow’. When I had arrived at the car Mr Ola looked confused about the state I was in but he didn’t comment on it- Bless his soul -then he drove us home.
For some unknown reason I hadn’t seen Frederick through out today. When it was lunch break he didn’t come to the library like he usually did and now school was almost about to end sef- What? don’t look at me like that, okay so maybe I was looking forward to seeing him, what’s so wrong with that huh?
“Mr Joe” I was drawn back to the real world by an all too familiar voice. Murmurs overtook the whole class in seconds.
“Ah Frederick my boy how are you?” I knew I was right, apparently Frederick just walked into the class, but why now? school was going to end in a few minutes, there was really no point in him coming now.
“I’m fine sir” He responded with his infamous golden boy smile. Did I forget to say that the teachers at Qatass academy were practically suckers for Frederick, they too worshipped the ground he walked on. Like I could understand when students did that, I mean look at him, the boy was the epitome of gorgeous. But I really didn’t understand why teachers also did the same.
“Good, good, good. So what brings you here?” Mr Joe said with a brighter than day smile. And trust me my maths teacher was anything but a smiler, infact his cheek muscles hardly rose.
When Mr Joe words registered in my head I wanted to shout out ‘He is practically a student of this class, why are you asking what brings him here?’ but I thought better than to do that. But seriously though it still amazes me that Frederick was allowed to not attend classes if he didn’t want to, like what exactly was he doing with the free time he had when he wasn’t in class.
“I came here for someone” Immediately after he finished his words, Frederick turned to face the class his eyes searching for something in particular before it landed on me. My heart made a little ‘thumb’ within me. Seriously though I remember i definitely took my pills today.
The class began murmuring again probably wondering who on Earth Frederick came here to fetch. I couldn’t blame them though, Frederick barely came to class, so this was definitely a rare occasion.
Confused Mr Joe asked “Who?”
Frederick rose his hands and pointed to my direction “Her”
The girl that was sitting in front of me immediately whispered to her friend escalated “Oh my God he’s pointing at me!”
Frederick smirked “Not you dear, the short lady at your back” I gasped out loud. Was it me he was referring to as ‘short’, oh if only I could strangle the boy.
I was expecting it before it came, everyone in the class went into mild shock when they realized he was Infact referring to me. I could hear people murmuring in bewildered tone ‘Amanda? from all the people Amanda?’ I ignored them all as I focused my gaze solely on the tall boy that was standing in front of the class.
“You want to see Amanda? oh well I see no problem with that” Still with a bright smile Mr Joe responded. God what an ass kisser.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I sighed and stood up from my chair, carried my school bag and walked to the class door, what? it’s not like I was even concentrating in the class in the first place.
I turned back when I didn’t see Frederick walking. I mouthed ‘Aren’t you coming?’ He smiled briefly and strolled to me but not before bidding Mr Joe a goodbye. I could see from the corner of my eyes how my class mates were opening their mouth in utter shock as we walked out of the class.
….
“So why did you come to carry me from class?” I asked Frederick as we walked through the hallway, we were almost approaching the schools entrance door.
“Almost a whole four minutes has passed since we left the class and it’s now you’re asking me?” Frederick said and chuckled while shaking his head a little.
I blushed a little and said “What na, it just dawned on me now that you practically kidnapped me from the class”
“Kidnap? Haba it’s not called kidnapping when you willingly came with me” He joked with a wide smirk.
I brought out my tongue as a response.
“God you’re such a child” Frederick mumbled making me giggle loudly with a wide smile. For some unknown reason I just felt really happy today, I felt different like people’s opinion didn’t matter to me at the moment.
“Beautiful” I heard him mutter with a dazed look.
“What?” I asked not quite catching what he had said. he immediately responded with a ‘nothing’, he responded so fast that it felt suspicious but I dismissed it thinking it was probably nothing.
We just left the school building and we were now approaching a black slick car, it looked exactly like mine only that it looked customized in few places.
“Ehn you’ve not still answered me, Where are you taking me?” I tried to ask once more with a raised eyebrow as we began to close in on the car.
At my question his smirk that I’ve come to know all too well embraced his face. He opened the car door gesturing for me to enter before he spoke.
“For training”
God please tell me this boy was joking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“WAOW” I said as soon as we arrived at Frederick’s house. The sight was pretty much mind blowing.
“Is it that impressive?” Frederick asked nervously scratching the back of his head.
“Is that even a valid question?” I looked at him with disbelief “I mean look at this house” I said in complete awe.
“Thanks I guess” Was his response with a genuine smile. Now let me just break it down for you, My house was a pretty big ass mansion there is no denying that but Frederick’s house? Well Frederick’s house was even bigger and I’m not even exaggerating it was bigger than any other mansion I have ever laid my eyes on. It brings me to wonder, Just how rich were Frederick’s parent’s?
“So are you just going to stand there or are you going to come in” Frederick said already at the entrance door, a teasing smile was playing on his lips.
When the school’s golden boy first told me that he was taking me for training I actually thought he was just messing with me so I just decided to get inside the car and go to wherever he was planing on taking me. okay I’ll admit that wasn’t really a bright idea at the time, I mean he could have been taking me to a place to kill me or something but I trusted Frederick for some reason and immediately cancelled that thought from my mind.
I began to walk to the were Frederick was standing.
“You said you were taking me for training, not your house” I stated as I finally got to him.
A smirk automatically adorned his face “I didn’t say were the training would be now did I?” I gave him a look as a response.
He’s house door’s security was exactly like mine so he quickly punched in a code and he opened the door for us to enter.
“Waow” I mumbled as my gaze landed on the interior decor of the house. It was the perfect blend of homey and exquisite, it was truly a work of art.
“You’re house is beautiful Frederick” I voiced out my thoughts.
“It is, only if it was also beautiful on the inside” He mumbled in what sounded like a sad tone. I looked at him confused, but it was the inside of the house I was taking about. For some reason I felt like what he said had a much deeper meaning to it.
I didn’t want to pry so I didn’t comment on it.
“So where exactly are we doing the training?” I strained out the ‘training’ because I didn’t still believe that he actually brought me to his house to train. He was obviously joking, Right?
“Oh you’ll see” His gloomy mood from before immediately vanquished and his infamous smirk replaced it.
As we continued walking through the house we finally reached a door after let’s say more or less 3minutes. The door was a glass door but it was tainted black so I couldn’t see a thing inside.
“Where are we?” I asked skeptically.
To answer my question, Frederick stretched his hand to open the door and said “My personal gym” and then he swiftly opened the door.
“Waow!” I exclaimed for the third time but time it was quite loud.
“Again Amanda, Really?” Frederick chuckled, his dimples that I have secretly come to love popped out in the process.
“What? you can’t expect me not to do that when you show me something as cool as this” I pointed out. I mean anyone that saw this gym would definitely react the same. The gym probably had everything a gym ought to have. Different state of the art machines lined out everywhere, a large mirror was placed at one side of the wall, making that particular side of the gym look somewhat like a dance studio.
“So you’ll telling me you have all these to yourself?” I tried to confirm again. Because the gym was just too big for one person.
“Yup” he said popping the ‘P’.
“Now go into the the gym locker room you’ll see varieties of working out clothes you can pick from. We don’t have much time so please dress fast would you” I look at Frederick confused.
“Working out clothes?”
“Uhm, yes. That’s what people wear when they want to train” He raised a questioning eyebrow with a small smile.
“Yh obviously I get that but why do I have to change to work out clothes?” I asked still confused. My mind already broke down the situation to me but I seriously didn’t want to accept it.
“Because we are training remember?” He gave me a funny look.
“Training for what exactly?” I asked in a dull tone.
“Well dear Finacee i’m going to be training you on how to fight” He smirked. I blushed when he referred to me as his fiancee, almost forgot about that.
“You can fight?” curiously I asked.
He released a frustrated sigh “You ask to much question. Can you just please for the love of God go get changed” He said pointing at a random direction were a hard wooden door was.
“Fine, fine I’m going. Jeez” I rolled my eyes playfully and immediately made my way to the door he pointed at. Entering the locker room which was suprisingly medium in size being that everything about this house was large, the first thing I saw was different hanged female work out clothes in different sizes and colors. Weird why does he have a bunch load of female clothes in his personal gym locker room.
Ignoring my thoughts, I quickly picked out the work out clothes that were to my taste and changed. As soon as I came out Frederick’s eyes immediately landed on me. His face that were once cheery before immediately turned to a frown. I also noticed that he had also changed from his uniform to training clothes and boy did he looked fine in it!
Immensely confused I tried to ask him what the problem was but he cut me short instantly.
