Must Read: It Is Teenage Love

Segun picked the call while his brothers edged him
on.

“Hello.” segun greeted.

“I thought you wouldn’t pick my call.” She said.

“Why won’t i pick you call?” Segun asked.

“Hmmmm.”

“what’s that?” Segun asked.

“Are you at home?” Segun inquired.

“Yes and why do you ask?” She said.

“Just want to know your are safe.” Segun replied.

“Hmmmmm. That’s nice of you.” She complimented.

“See you tomorrow.” Segun said.

“Alright.”

The phone clicked at the other end and Segun
pocketted his phone.

“my brother is coward.” Tope mocked.

“Hit the nail on the head and stop beating around the bush.” Wale said.

“It’s not what you guys think.” Segun defended.

The front door opened and Mary entered.

“Good afternoon.” she greeted Tope and wale.

“How are you?” they both chorused.

“Am fine.” she replied.

“Mary, am i too small or i don’t deserve your greeting?” Segun asked.

“So it can pain you also.” she mocked.

“What is it?” Segun asked angrily.

“When you came to school today. Did you greet
me?” She asked.

“Why are you acting like a kid? We both left the house this morning, and i see no sense in me
greeting you in class. Moreso, you know how much i despise your class.” Segun explained.

“Okay. Good afternoon.” Mary greeted.

There was a knock on the door. Mary went for it.
“Good afternoon.” Mary greeted the person.

“Please i seek for Segun.” she said.
Segun heard his name being called.
Mary opened the door wider for the visitor. Lo and
behold Jummy stepped into the sitting room.

“Jummy! What are you doing here?”
“Is that a welcome.” she asked.

“Answer my question.” segun thundered.

“Good afternoon sirs.” she said greeting Tope and
Wale.

“yeah. Good afternoon. How are you?” they both chorused.

“Am fine o.” she replied.

“What’s your own name?” Tope asked.

“My name is Jummy.” she replied.

“I am Tope and my friend here is Wale.” Tope said.

“It’s nice meeting you guys.” she said.
[/B]“The pleasure is mine.” [/B]Tope replied.

Segun stood at the entrance looking at his brother
and the unexpected visitor.

“Have your sit.” Mary said before leaving the sitting room to change from her school uniform.

“Thanks.” Jummy replied.

“Are you guys classmates?” Tope asked.

“No, we met at the centre.” She replied.

“So, how did you know he lived here?” Tope asked.

“I got the description from Omolayo(his cousin).”
she replied.

[/B]“Oh! I see.”[/B] Tope said.

“I just decided to suprise him with this visit.” Jummy
said smilling.

“That’s nice.” Wale said.

“won’t you entertain your guest and stop looking like you’ve seen a ghost.” Wale said as everyone bursted into laughter.

Mary came out with a photo album and a fashion
magazine. On a tray lays a soft drink bottle and a
glass cup.

She drew a stool closer and dropped them there.

She sat down beside jummy and they got talking.

She began telling her things about the photos and
they clicked real good.

Segun went inside his room and put a call through
to Akin(his classmate. One of the guys that helped
him fight against Emma and his gang).
He explained his ordeal to him and Akin told him what to do.

He came outside and went close to Jummy. He
began acting normal and he took her by the hand as
they both went outside.

He showed her round the compound and they
ended the journey in the garden very close to the
kitchen.

“Jummy.” He called.

“Yes.” she answered.

“What do we gain from this friendship?” he asked.

“I don’t get you.” she replied.

“Why don’t we take this friendship to another level?”
he explained.

“What are you insinuating?” she asked feigning
ignorance.

“Jummy. Do you accept me as your boyfriend?” he
asked kneeling down.

“Yes!” she said in excitement as they both hugged themselves real tight.

Jummy left towards evening after she bade Wale,
Tope, and Mary goodbye. Segun saw her off to the
bus-stop and waited till the bus was out of sight.
“Now i am in love. To hell with Olanike.” he said happily..

Segun woke up early tuesday morning and dressed
up. He went into the dining room and ate the
breakfast with every member of the family. He
finished eating and left for his centre.

He removed his phone and dialled Jummy’s
number. She picked the call after the first ring.

“Hello angel.” he greeted.

“Sweetheart, good morning.” she replied.

“How was your night?” Segun asked.

“It was fine and yours?” she asked.

“Not bad.” segun replied.

“Did you dream about me?” she asked.

“Yeah. Where are you?” he asked in reply.

“Am at the bus-stop. What about you?” She asked.

“Give me fifteen minutes and i’ll be there with you.”
he said.

“Don’t keep me waiting o.” she said.

“Alright ma’am.” He said and she bursted into
laughter.

He hurried into a waiting bus and off he went.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER
Segun got out of the bus and walked towards wema
bank where Jummy was standing.

“hey!” He called looking apologetically.

“Don’t greet me o.” she replied faking anger.

“Did i keep you waiting?” He asked innocently.

“No o, you didn’t.” she replied hitting him playfully on the shoulder.

“Lets go.” Segun said.

They walked hand in hand towards their exam
centre. They got into Loyola college chatting happily like new couples(which they truely were).

They walked accross the football pitch and found Emma and his guys seated under a tree.

The guys stood up and blocked their way. Jummy
shivered in fright.

“Hey guys. I don’t have time for all these.” he said.

“You don’t have time when you snatched my girlfriend abi.” Emma said.

“But you broke up with her yourself.” Segun defended.

“Are you mad?” Emma yelled at him.

“No, i am not.” Segun replied with confidence.

“Oya bring you wallet and your wristwatch and we’ll let you go.” Tony said.

“It is better i die than surrender my properties to
buy my freedom.” Segun said angrily.
Emma move towards but segun was fast enough to knock him out of the way. He told Jummy to run. He moved to the second guy and knocked him out in a
simillar manner thanks to ‘ray mysterio’s’ smack downs. He was overpowered by the third guy who hit him with a stick on his head. He fell down and felt
like passing out but gathered enough strength as he
stood up and ran for his dear life. The guys pursued
him as they ran towards the exam hall. Segun
sensed the danger in running into the exam hall
because that was where Jummy ran to quickly
diverged in his tracks and ran towards the School
chapel. He jumped a flower lawn and climed the
stairs and descended through the other side, he was
in the junior school.

Emma and his guys turned back when the
discovered they has lost him. Segun adjusted his
clothes and walked back to the examination hall. He found Jummy on the stairs.

“Jummy.” he called.

She stood up and hugged him happily. “Are you okay?”
“Yes i am.” he replied.

“Hope they didn’t hurt you? Oh my God, your head is swollen. She was massaging the swollen part with
her hands.

Nike ascended the stairs and found the two of them
standing. She made to walk past them.

[B]“Nike. Good morning.” Segun greeted.

“Good morning.” she greeted dryly and left them in their embrace

.
Jummy hissed loud enough for her to hear.
“Why did you do that?” Segun asked.

“I hate that girl.” Jummy replied.

“But why?” Segun asked.

“She is a devil. Look at what she has used her
waywardness to inflict on you.” Jummy said pointing to his wounds.

“They are bound to happen.” Segun defended.

“Just be careful.” she advised.
“Okay darling.” Segun said as they both walked into
the examination hall
