About 30 minutes later, Peter's mother woke up to wake Kamal. To her surprise, she found him already prepared. As soon as Kamal saw her, he stood up."Good morning Ma" he greeted."How are you my child?" She answered."I'm doing fine" Kamal replied."Since when did you wake up?" She asked."A couple of minutes ago" Kamal responded."Ok let me go and prepare something for you to eat" she said and walked to the kitchen.Peter woke up upon hearing their conversation."Hey, so you've already gotten ready" Peter said."Yes I have" Kamal responded.

When Peter saw him, he stood up and ran to him."You are finally back, what took you so long?" Peter asked."Our car had a problem on the way, that's why I delayed" Kamal answered."Oh that's very bad. So how are you doing?" Peter replied."I'm doing well, how about you?" Kamal responded."I'm doing just as you are. I haven't seen your lady since I arrived" Peter frowned."Oh really" Kamal exclaimed."Yes I heard a rumour that she's not coming back" Peter continued."Are you sure?"

Peter asked."Oh it was splendid “Kamal replied smirking."At least those boys had stopped bothering him when they found out how amazing he is" Sarah added."They won't dare try it again" Peter laughed.As they were walking, they heard a group of boys ahead of them talking about Fatima and James was also among them."You don't stand a chance James, just give up" one of the boys said."Their relationship with the head boy is getting stronger every day" the boy continued." I must make her love me, you still don't know who I am" James proudly said and the rest of the boys started laughing

Two weeks later, Kamal continue to make new friends. Many girls like talking to him including those that were in the same class with Fatima. What Kamal could not understand was the fact that Fatima was exceptionally different from the all the girls at school. He can speak to any of them without any fear or feeling so special. But when it comes to Fatima, he felt satisfied just by seeing her without even talking to her.The day for their inter-house sports arrived.

Kamal wanted to go to his village for his mid-term, but Peter insisted that he must remain in Abuja and spend it at his home."Come on Kamal, is just a one week break. Why can't you just stay with my family? Besides, I really enjoyed it last term when you stopped at my home. And it will save the money you are going to use for transportation" Peter insisted.
