'Biology teacher said I should give it to you.' She shrugged and picked two as the students rushed for theirs.
'So as I was saying, our able Helen Eze got zero.' She scoffed and laughed, the class was silent before giggles erupted.
Helen balled her fist and snatched her book.'Thank you idiot!'
'Idiocy is failing twice. You don't know anything.'
'At least, I can solve mathematics with my eyes closed and still beat you. Everyone's good in their own way. Enjoy the limelight for now, that's if you got an A.'
'Oh spare me, who'd pick A plus and F over an A and B or two B plus? Sugar, you have to balance it but you can't since you're a loser and a fool.' Hilda snickered.
'A wise man once said,' Stephen began and the class went silent.
'It takes a fool to identify another. And another wise man opined that it's only a fool that calls another a fool. What are you Hilda?'
Her jaws dropped.
'She had the wits to fail decently. If the biology teacher knew he was testing the internet,' He regarded her cellphone.
'He'd given up on you. You're a lost cause and indeed the fool here.' He turned to leave but she pulled him back. Helen watched with jaws dropped, Stephen did not only stand up for her but against Hilda Ike. The school's number one bully. Not that she needed him to. Her lips formed a thank you but was shut as her sworn enemy began to rant.
'You didn't think that last summer, when you were all over me. Neither did you think I was a fool while we were cosied up in a hotel.'
'All over you?'
'What? Are you going to deny it? That you didn't have a wonderful time with me? You called me yours.'
'I won't deny anything. We had a time together. There was and is nothing more to it. I made that clear so do yourself a favor and have some dignity.' He pushed her hands off and removed his sweatshirt.
Helen took a step away from them and stormed off.'You can as well dispose this.' He handed it to her and walked away.
She stormed in on him sitting by the school's garden. Why was he even there when her thoughts were to cool off? After Hilda's attitude they had biology class with her still making hateful comments. Helen balled her fist, ready to punch anything.
'There's no available punching back.' Stephen chuckled and turned side ways.
'Here, punch me. You'd cool off.'
'Is this funny to you?'
'No.'
'Why the heck are you everywhere? I don't need you to defend me, I can stand up for myself. I don't need you to be nice to me. Stephen why can't you leave me alone?'
'Because I'm interested in you.' He deadpanned and her eyes widened.
'I'm not. Stay away from me. I'm not interested in you. I don't want you to be interested in me. Heck! I don't want you.'
His finger came to her lips and she froze, while the others that laid on her cheeks made absent circles.
His lips were a distance away hers, she sucked in her breath, trying to get a hold of the scene.What had she been saying? And why was she staring at those gorgeous piercing eyes of his that made it seem like he could see her soul and everything she hid. Her eyes lowered and dropped on his lips.Quite full.
Succulent.
Pink.
And inviting.
She could not tell if it was an unknown force that drew her to him, to close the distance but she knew she was closing it against her will. Her lips were on his. Before she could turn it to a kiss, he pulled back.
Hey Helen Eze, how do you feel now that you've successfully made a fool of yourself?
She shut her eyes in embarrassment and anger.
Why did it have to be him?
A rare smile curved his lips.
'You said you don't want me Helen.'
Even the way he pronounced her name, like a breath of fresh air, she gritted and rose.
'Damn you Stephen.'

'Thank you.''I should thank you. It was a pleasure having you around.'She strode to her gate, glanced back at him while he waited for her to go in, she rushed back, enveloped his lips in an intend quick kiss. She noticed the shock, a smile formed on her lips triumph. When she wanted to pull away, his hand cupped the back of her neck, fixing her at a point as he devour her lips; a taste he could not get enough of.

Helen stood above the open roof as Miracle's car stopped beside theirs. 'I'd say it time and again, you strike a good pose.' Miracle grinned, pulling out his cellphone to record the moment. 'But I have me a girl here who'd strike better.' He winked at Christina who did the same thing with her friends. 'Kingsley would show you guys how winners do.' She puffed out her tongue. 'Yah, tell them baby girl.' He chuckled. 'No, I have me a winner here and we don't speak losers dictionary.' Deborah smirked. 'I look forward to seeing the disappointment in your faces.' Christina countered. 'Win this race and get a kiss from me.'That had a loud roar from them. 'I hope to.' Miracle replied with more light in his eyes. 'That's not playing fair.' Helen mumbled.
