Mary, am i too small or i dont deserve your greeting? Segun asked. So it can pain you also. she mocked. What is it? Segun asked angrily. When you came to school today. Did you greet me? She asked. Why are you acting like a kid? We both left the house this morning, and i see no sense in me greeting you in class. More so, you know how much i despise your class. Segun explained. Okay. Good afternoon. Mary greeted. There was a knock on the door. Mary went for it. Good afternoon. Mary greeted the person. Please i seek for Segun. she said. Segun heard his name being called. Mary opened the door wider for the visitor. Lo and behold Jummy stepped into the sitting room. Jummy! What are you doing here? Is that a welcome. she asked. Answer my question. segun thundered. Good afternoon sirs. she said greeting Tope and Wale. yeah. Good afternoon. How are you? they both chorused. Am fine o. she replied. Whats your own name? Tope asked. My name is Jummy. she replied.

Segun stood at the entrance looking at his brother and the unexpected visitor. Have your sit. Mary said before leaving the sitting room to change from her school uniform. Thanks. Jummy replied. Are you guys classmates? Tope asked. No, we met at the centre. She replied. So, how did you know he lived here? Tope asked. I got the description from Omolayo(his cousin). she replied. Oh! I see. Tope said. I just decided to suprise him with this visit. Jummy said smilling. Thats nice. Wale said. wont you entertain your guest and stop looking like youve seen a ghost. Wale said as everyone bursted into laughter. Mary came out with a photo album and a fashion magazine. On a tray lays a soft drink bottle and a glass cup. She drew a stool closer and dropped them there. She sat down beside jummy and they got talking. She began telling her things about the photos and they clicked real good. Segun went inside his room and put a call through to Akin(his classmate. One of the guys that helped him fight against Emma and his gang). He explained his ordeal to him and Akin told him what to do. He came outside and went close to Jummy. He began acting normal and he took her by the hand as they both went outside. He showed her round the compound and they ended the journey in the garden very close to the kitchen. Jummy. He called. Yes. she answered. What do we gain from this friendship? he asked. I dont get you. she replied. Why dont we take this friendship to another level? he explained. What are you insinuating? she asked feigning ignorance. Jummy. Do you accept me as your boyfriend? he asked kneeling down. Yes! she said in excitement as they both hugged themselves real tight. Jummy left towards evening after she bade Wale, Tope, and Mary goodbye. Segun saw her off to the bus-stop and waited till the bus was out of sight. Now i am in love. To hell with Olanike. he said happily.. Segun woke up early tuesday morning and dressed up. He went into the dining room and ate the breakfast with every member of the family. He finished eating and left for his centre. He removed his phone and dialled Jummys number. She picked the call after the first ring. Hello angel.” he greeted. Sweetheart, good morning. she replied. How was your night? Segun asked. It was fine and yours? she asked. Not bad. segun replied. Did you dream about me? she asked. Yeah. Where are you? he asked in reply. Am at the bus-stop. What about you? She asked. Give me fifteen minutes and ill be there with you. he said. Dont keep me waiting o. she said. Alright maam. He said and she bursted into laughter. He hurried into a waiting bus and off he went. THIRTY MINUTES LATER , Segun got out of the bus and walked towards wema bank where Jummy was standing. hey! He called looking apologetically. Dont greet me o. she replied faking anger. Did i keep you waiting? He asked innocently. No o, you didnt. she replied hitting him playfully on the shoulder. Lets go. Segun said. They walked hand in hand towards their exam centre. They got into Loyola college chatting happily like new couples(which they truely were). They walked accross the football pitch and found Emma and his guys seated under a tree. The guys stood up and blocked their way. Jummy shivered in fright. Hey guys. I dont have time for all these. he said. You dont have time when you snatched my girlfriend abi. Emma said. But you broke up with her yourself. Segun defended. Are you mad? Emma yelled at him. No, i am not. Segun replied with confidence. Oya bring you wallet and your wrist watch and well let you go. Tony said. It is better i die than surrender my properties to buy my freedom. Segun said angrily. Emma move towards but segun was fast enough to knock him out of the way. He told Jummy to run. He moved to the second guy and knocked him out in a simillar manner thanks to ray mysterios smack downs. He was overpowered by the third guy who hit him with a stick on his head. He fell down and felt like passing out but gathered enough strength as he stood up and ran for his dear life. The guys pursued him as they ran towards the exam hall. Segun sensed the danger in running into the exam hall because that was where Jummy ran to quickly diverged in his tracks and ran towards the School chapel. He jumped a flower lawn and climed the stairs and descended through the other side, he was in the junior school. Emma and his guys turned back when the discovered they has lost him. Segun adjusted his clothes and walked back to the examination hall. He found Jummy on the stairs. Jummy. he called. She stood up and hugged him happily. Are you okay? Yes i am. he replied. Hope they didnt hurt you? Oh my God, your head is swollen. She was massaging the swollen part with her hands. Nike ascended the stairs and found the two of them standing. She made to walk past them. Nike. Good morning. Segun greeted. Good morning. she greeted dryly and left them in their embrace. Jummy hissed loud enough for her to hear. Why did you do that? Segun asked. I hate that girl. Jummy replied. But why? Segun asked. She is a devil. Look at what she has used her waywardness to inflict on you. Jummy said pointing to his wounds. They are bound to happen. Segun defended. Just be careful. she advised. Okay darling. Segun said as they both walked into the examination hall. WATCH OUT FOR PART 8
