The Diary Of an Assistant Boyfriend: TRAVAILS OF THE FRIEND ZONE (Episode 4)

My name is ADEBISI OLADELE.... Welcome to the friend zone!
A sunny Thursday afternoon, my mates were already through with the day's lectures. They all met me at home. Oh! I forgot to tell you guys I was a high class truant, a non-academic student, that's a gist for another day jare. I was in front of my house watching my mates troop into their various houses. Delliii how far? You no come school again today abi? Oya give me your papa number make I call am say hin pikin no serious for school, we all burst into laughter. That was Caleb my neighbour, he lives opposite my house. Its past 1pm, Christy should be home by now.
I sauntered into Christy's room, she just got in not quite long. How far, bawo ni? I greeted her, good afternoon she replied with a smile. That's definitely the first time Christy greeted me or replied my greeting. She did not only reply, she did with a smile, today indeed is gonna be a good dat. How was lectures today? I asked, fine, she replied, I know you don't attend classes. Yes! Even Christy was aware of my truancy. What did you tell Nkem about me? I fired the question. Tell Nkem bawo? She asked with a surprised look on her face. Oh! She exclaimed like she just remembered something... is this about you not been sensible all this while?
Christy just burst my bubble again. She said it again to my face, this time she had burst into a loud laughter. Christy just fed me my own pill. Shey you too normally behave like somebody that has sense ni? She fired the second salvo! She burst into laughter again, this time around subconsciously I joined her in the laughing spree. Funny but true. Na there my vex for Christiana end. Yes na, she continued. Monday ni first time I heard something sensible from you. We both continued the laughter. Chaiii! See my life outside! Na me Christy dey enter seresere like this and funny enough, I am laughing at the whole scenario, in fact I am enjoying it. Let me admit, I loved it. Christy continued to "enter" me and we both continued laughing. The tables had turned, the predator is now the prey. Oh! How the mighty are falling!
Christiana, jokes apart I don't like that comment, I started explaining. You see, even though I joke a lot, I am a "very" serious person, its just that I am most times in the jovial mood ni. I talked to Christy that afternoon with all the sense I can gather, I needed to redeem my shattered image, at least today will make it the second time she will be hearing something sensible from this my big mouth. That's a huge feat! Hmmmmnnn Christiana sighed, well that night, when I saw you through my window, I was already determined that if Dele comes here to talk trash again Ehn! Ma se were fun ni (I will change it for him ni), but sincerely you surprised me that night, you calmed me down, you made me feel fine, your words healed my hurt... Chai! My head started swelling... Hearing Christy say all those words (well not all sha, I added some necessary ajasa Nah, so d story go sweet and most especially I gaz feel myself small nah), made me feel like a champ.
Its been two weeks now, I and Christy had grown close. We were seen together almost everywhere. The only things that separated us were fellowship (we attended different fellowships) and of course school. Her room became my second abode. I and Christy gelled so fast, faster than you can imagine. If its past 7pm and I am not with Christy... That means only one thing... I was definitely out of town!
How that your babe nah? Banji asked me one evening. Which babe? I was surprised at the question. That your small babe nah, wey una dey waka up and down nko? wetin be that her name again sef? Christiana? I asked... Yes! Christiana! He tapped me like he just remembered a jackpot ticket number. She no be my babe ooooo! I nearly screamed! Hmmmnn.. Liaaaarrrr!
To whom it may concern: this is mostly a pure work of fiction... You think i m writing bout lagbaja n tamedo... OYO is your case.. Or worse worse... Call police!
