Chapter Twenty Six

"Huh?" Semiloore asked.

"You are Semiloore Ajayi right?" The guy asked again.

"Yeah" Semiloore replied.

The guy wore a small smile as he stretched his hand out "I'm Kunle" he introduced.

"Okay" Semiloore said and Kunle smiled as he took back his outstretched hand.

"You pretty much haven't changed" he said and
Semiloore's frown increased.

"You don't know me but I know you quite well. I am a student of Sky International school"

Semiloore folded her arms immediately "That's interesting"

"I heard you got expelled"

"So then?" Semiloore asked.

"Hicol Lag did lose a gem" Kunle said as he sipped his drink.

"Your point is?" Semiloore asked.

"Why did you leave Lag? A lot of schools would do anything to poach you and Tamiloore over to their school and some would even give you free scholarships to study in the school but you disappeared"

"Those schools,S.I.S is one right?"

"Of course,any school would had you is blessed by God"

"Whoa! That you think this highly of me is very funny" Semiloore said her voice emotionless.

"I wonder what Hicol Lag was trying to achieve by expelling you" Kunle said.

"Either ways its not your business" Semiloore replied.

"I know"

"Hicol Lag suppressed all news of me and Tamiloore expellment how did you hear about it? Oh sorry I forgot you are a S.I.S student,you guys are famous gossips"

Kunle smiled not getting offended "You fled to Akure"

"Its a nice place and its peaceful"

"Hmm mm"

"And no one is trying to kill me or something"

"Do they know who you are? Who Tamiloore is? She's still as dangerous as ever right?" Kunle asked and Semiloore smiled before replying.

"No,you've got it all wrong. Everyone here has a pure heart and they are beautiful inside out,they are nice"

"I see" Kunle said.

"Semiloore......." The words stopped in John's mouth as he saw Kunle.

"Who are you?" John asked.

"Doesn't matter" Kunle replied.

John smiled a little "An old friend?" John asked and Kunle blinked at him.

"No,he's not" Semiloore replied.

John turned to Semiloore "Its time to eat" he said with a huge smile as he grabbed her hand and pulled her away. Kunle eyes followed them till they joined their mates and soon about six pairs of eyes turned to him.

One was just running his eyes over him as if assessing him before scoffing and turning his face. Kunle finished his drink and stood up and left.

The students ate noisyly as they kept making comments about the food.

"Its so greasy"

"And so sweet"

"The greasiness is complimenting the sour taste"

"The food is delicious paah"

The restaurants servers couldn't help but smile at the students as some asked for some helping.
Semiloore ate her fried rice in silence.
