Darlington has not spoken since we enter the class nor smile, but now her facial expression is not happy and is not sad. I brought out a story book titled The Heart of an Assassin, by Emmy Okeke, I opened the book and resume from where I stopped…. I feed my brain and eye with the interesting story, not until a junior student called my name, senior Desmond the principal is calling you, I heard the person saying and I recognize the voice to be Loveth.
Good morning sir, I greeted the principal when I got to his office, morning son, he replied, have your seat, he said to me, hope you are coping with your partner, he said, I became suspicious of his question, the other day he said he pray I survive and now he is asking me am I coping, I already see him as a father so I opened up to him
Sir, I have many problem in this school, firstly the teacher, secondly my seat partner. Those two individuals are giving me series of hard time, I explain everything to him, he was not surprise about Darlington but was surprise about the said teacher, hope you haven’t tell your mother about this, he asked me, no sir, I reply, great, you can go he said to me, ok sir, I replied as I went out of his office, what did you want I said to Loveth who was still standing, nothing my love, she said, and walked away….. What, what did she just say, your what, wait, who is your love, you must be mad…….. I walk into my class there the unexpected happen……….

He was rushed out of the class and teachers came to enquire what caused the fight……..
We were not permitted to go for break until everything is settled, but wait Good news and Senior dave just broke rule 2, which says No fighting among students senior or junior……..

Hello I heard someone approaching me as I was about to sit, I turn my back, there was nobody, am sorry the voice said again, jeez, Darlington spoke to me today, I could not believe it, forget whatever she is saying, the fact that she spoke to me ignite me, it made me forget my past experience with her…….. I manage to sit………. Good morning, I said to her, but she never replied, what!, is this not the girl that spoke to me just now, and right now she is not replying me again……… maybe she has ear problem, I thought in my mind, she raised her head and looked at me, Good morning she spoke up, God am dead, she read my mind that was why she spoke………. I put away all my thoughts and I hold her hand, yes I did, you are too beautiful to cry my princess, I said has I wipe her tears with my finger tip……………
Wait oooooooooo why is she crying sef…. I made her rest her head on my shoulder forgetting we were in the class, I console her, and pet her though she wept silently……….. Desmond, I heard someone yelling my name, what the meaning of this rubbish, have you lost your mind and sense, the person said continuing yelling, calm down Beauty, I said to her, which made the class to burst into laughter, what God has join together, let no man but asunder, I heard Good news saying, Darlington and Desmond, D $ D, I heard gift saying also………….
Jeez, I looked into Darlington eye, I swear she is beautiful, beautiful is an understatement, I never knew she is this beautiful, her other side has made me not to notice her beauty, she has a blue eye ball, everything about her is perfect, I never knew I already fallen in love, it not love at first sight (infatuation), or lust, it Genuine Love………..
Beauty sat down in shame, I know she is going to cry because her eye is already soaked with tears…..
Am sorry for been harsh on you, am sorry, Darlington said……….
I did not say anything though I was surprised, I have a plan for the first girl I fall in love with, and those plans are still in store…………..
Till break we did not talk, we remain silent as if we never settled anything…………
Bell for break was jingled, I was about asking her what I should get for her, I was still summoning the courage, I haven’t spoken yet, fried rice and chicken, she said, I became surprised, but I never asked you, I said, but she replied with an astonishing answer, Love can do more than human imagination, nothing is hidden in love, clearly are your heart for me to see, so as mine for you, open your eye and you will see my heart, you will know my thought. I am you and you are me, we are ONE……
I was no longer surprised, her word took away all my worries and fear, “Let”, I try saying but she completed it for me, let get going, she said, I was not surprise again, she could read my mind but I cannot read her’s………
All eye were on us as we walked to the school cafeteria looking hands together…... we got there order for food but I know something is odd, if truly u know my mind, explain what am feeling, I said to her as we sat down on a specific chair design for her and her only, yeah you are worried because everyone here is trembling, it becos of me, everyone in this school is afraid of me, I have the last command, I can employ and deploy teacher, she said, are you the principal daughter, I asked, she was about replying when she start coughing…………..
As she is coughing no one dare to come closer, I try calming her down but was fruitless, she manage dip her hand into her bag bringing out a round like substance like menthol, she put it in her mouth and she stopped coughing, I was shocked but never allow it show, throughout the eating I did not say a dine…………
