"Nothing happened Prince, how many times do I have to tell you nothing happened between us. " I argued with my delusional friend who refused to believe nothing happened between Teniola and I.

We came back to school the next day, after a quick visit to the barber's shop, ever since we got back, my friends especially Prince had been hell bent on knowing what happened.

"No way! I refuse to believe this, this has never happened before!" He protested.

"Well it has, why will I lie about something like that?, it has been almost a week.. Just drop it, will you? "

"Wow... I can't believe this, you took a girl to your house and nothing happened, let me rephrase that... You took a girl to your parents house, now that is something new and good for the school headlines"

"Shut up ode" I shut him off but he only laughed.

We sat down in silence, as we go through our notes. The final exams had already started, the practical exams actually. Tomi is having her food and nutrition practical today so Teni is giving her friend the best support she can.

"You are really into this girl right?" I look up at his question to be met with a smile on his face.

"Yeah... I guess I am buddy" I said truthfully.

"Why?" I frowned at his question.

"Must there be a criteria for me to be into someone?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know... Knowing how hard it is to please you. I am just curious to know the one girl who stole my best friend's heart from childhood"

"I like Teniola... She.. She reminds me of my mum and you all know how much I love my mum" he nods "there is this pull I feel whenever she is around, i feel at peace.. I.. " I sigh not knowing how to put my words.

"You love her" he said as my eyes widens at his words.

"Love?"

"Yes you do... It is written all over your face" I chuckle at his words.

Love?

Maybe he his right? Maybe I do love her. But what is love?...

I snap of it when I hear him groan.

"What is it?"

"Virus... Incoming" he discreetly gestured behind me, turning around to see Henrietta walking up to us, i turn to look at him.

"When was she named Virus?" I joked.

"Femi started it, the name stuck with her but she doesn't have to know " he said standing up packing his books with him as I laughed, giving me a quick bro handshake "see you later man.. And be careful"

I nodded as he walks away, taking his warning into consideration. Leaning back on my seat situated at the back of the school hall.

"Hey ba_"

"Stop" I used my arm to block her incoming wandering hands. "What do you want?" I went straight to business. She snorts at my words.

"I can't come to say hi again?" I huff at her question. Discerning my growing foul mood, she quickly imputed. "You have been ignoring me for a while, did I do anything wrong?"

"You did nothing wrong Henrietta, i already told you whatever was going on between us or whatever you think was going on between us has ended. So why are you here?"

"Well... I know what you said, but does it have to end that way?" She whispered hotly into my ear, i stood up walking around her, not falling for her bait.
