Days At D.C.A

🌺~21~🌺

Clubs day came too soon and Ifechi felt no enthusiasm for a day she'd so dearly expected before.

She'd already made clear her intention of not leading jets club before that day, to the surprise of many who found her to be the perfect fit.

Not many people knew why she'd abandoned the responsibility, except a few who knew of her "situationship" with their clubs President who ended up dating one of the meanest senior girls they knew.

The day was as uneventful as Ifechi's mood. It was a school event, meaning parents were not invited and students still wore their uniform despite going to spend half of the day in the school's mini hall.

Ifechi sighed as she stood by the door of the hall. Student's were sectioned according to their clubs and Ifechi didn't want to go to hers because of a specific someone.

As much as she tried to convince herself that she didn't care, she knew she wasn't over him. At least not yet.

Damien on his side fumbled with the machine on the display desk, Jets club was going to present first and the prototype his assistant, Dera had managed to wrap up didn't seem to be working.

He knew of a certain someone that could fix the issue, but after the way she snapped at him when he tried to talk to her that Tuesday, he knew better than to cross her path.

If only she didn't fall stupidly for him.

He wasn't oblivious to her feelings and of course he wasn't stupid to deny that he broke her heart, yet it did surprise him, how she acted towards him. He was just trying to be friendly, and prove that though they were not dating as their classmates and some other students had began to rumour, they could still be friends.

Ifechi thought otherwise.

While she stood there, arms closed, waiting for the event to begin so that she could slip into another club she didn't belong to, a female figure approached her.

Ifechi was surprised to see her after so many weeks.

"Charity?"

The girl smiled. "You remember my name"

It was Ifechi who had saved her from the hands of her worse bullies. They had been tormenting her ever since she tried to flirt with Josh, Grace's super hot and rich boyfriend,  but she wouldn't think of telling Ifechi that.

"Of course, do I look like I have amnesia" Ifechi raised an eyebrow.

"No, its not...It's not like that...I'm so sorry, I swear that's not what I meant... " she stuttered afraid that she may have offended her.

"Geez...chill out, I was just joking, I'm not angry"

Charity calmed down when Ifechi smiled, showing that she wasn't offended. "I was just surprised, yunno I'm like a nobody and you're very popular and cool"

If Ifechi was taken aback by such flattery, she didn't show it, she only gave her an encouraging smile and replied
"you're not a nobody."

They chatted for minutes after that, Ifechi was an easy person to talk to and Charity was elated to have a conversation with someone she'd admired so much not just because she'd saved her from the hands of her mean classmates, but because she was both very smart and very beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be like her?

"Are you and Damien quarrelling?" Charity asked out of the blue taking Ifechi by surprise. She blinked rapidly before replying.

"No..no, we are not, why do you assume So?"

Charity was shy to admit she'd been watching them closely for fear of being seen like a stalker. "You two used to be very close especially during meetings to the point where I thought you two were even dating, now you both act as if you're avoiding each other and it's as if he made you give up being our presenter today"
