Brieanna and Noëlla's friendship had bloomed. There was nowhere you would see Brieanna and not find Noëlla. They were like two peas in a pod. She occasionally hung out with Xtha and Kate but not as much as she did with Brieanna. She had even introduced her to her parents and they liked her. Kate could sense there was something off about Brieanna by the looks she gave her when Noëlla wasn't looking.
She used to tell Xtha, but she didn't seem interested in what she told her so she stopped.
“Hi." Adade, one of her classmates and a handsome guy in her class greeted her as she stood at the tuck shop waiting to get some pastries.
“Hi," Noëlla responded.
“You look beautiful." He flattered.
“Thanks, my dad has told me that already." She added uninterested the moment she noticed the direction of the conversation.
“Noëlla, gu wo ho krakra po err ( Loosen up)" Brieanna nudged her.
“Madam, I'm clearly uninterested in what he has to say, You can stay and talk I'm taking the lead. We'd meet in class." She told her friend as she walked off rolling her eyeballs.
“Calm down Adade, I'd talk to her, she's just stubborn," Brieanna stated.
“Chale, do wild, a dey feel is (Try to do your best, I like her)," Adade said as he joined his group of friends.
Noëlla was almost at the entrance of the class when Brieanna caught up with her.
“Amma, I've been calling you since, you didn't even turn to answer," Brieanna added.
“I didn't hear you." She said almost entering the class when Brieanna held her back.
“You're lying and you know it, I know you just want to avoid talking about what happened at the tuck shop earlier." She said.
“Of course I do because I knew where his conversation was headed. He was going to say he liked me and blah blah blah, which of course I'm clearly not interested." She said as she broke from Brieanna's grip and walked into the class.
This girl paah, do you know how I've been yearning to be noticed by Adade and he did so through you and you want to spoil my plans. You lie bad, I'd do everything in my will for you to accept his proposal. Brieanna said to herself as she walked to her seat.
“Amma, are you alright?" Kate asked as she noticed her friend's foul mood.
“Kate, I'm alright, someone wanted to ruin my day but I'm good." She smiled at her as Brieanna sat down on her seat giving Kate a bitter look.
“Madam, look forward no one mentioned your name," Kate said to her. Noëlla didn't say a word because she was in no mood to argue with Kate, besides she was right, no one had mentioned Brieanna's name in the conversation they were having.
Brieanna shamefully turned her head to the front just as their English teacher, Mr Takyi entered the class.
“There's something about that Brieanna girl I can't seem to place my finger on," Kate told her school mother as she sat on her bed during siesta.
“Spoilt brat?" Her school mother asked.
“Yes, and as if she's looking for a prey to feed on, I feel sorry for Amma, I've tried telling her but she won't listen to me. Xtha is also backing her so I've decided to keep mute." She told.
“At least you did your best in telling her but she's still hell-bent on following her, so just leave her be. A word to a wise is enough." Ellen told her school daughter.
“But Xtha, I don't need boys now," Noëlla argued with her friend as the three walked to the dining hall. Kate was mute as she listened on in their conversation.
“There's nothing wrong with having a male as a friend Amma. Isn't it Kate?" She asked.
“Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but--" She was cut off by Xtha.
“So you see, there's absolutely nothing wrong," Xtha smirked.
“Well, I've heard from you. I'd think about it." Noëlla said as they entered the hall and walked to their respective tables.
"Amma, so you are still avoiding me?" Brieanna called as she was walking to class with Xtha and Kate.
“Oh, Brieanna, I'm not avoiding you, I just felt like walking with Late and Xtha today. We'd meet in class." She assured her friend.
“Okay, if you say so, See you then." She hurried off as Kate puffed.
“Maame kate, why do you hate her so much?” Noëlla voiced out.
“I don't hate her, she just has some negative vibes around her." She defended.
“Yoo, it's only you too that sees the negative vibes too." Xtha chimed in.
“Just get to know her, she's a nice person." Noëlla probed.
“No thanks, " Kate added as Leon, one of their classmates slung his arm over Kate's shoulders.
“Katie baby." He called her by her pet name.
“Leon, wosop(what's up)?" She asked as they walked further from Amma and Xtha.
“And she was behaving as if she has no male friends," Xtha added.
“Oh Xtha, Leon is cool with everyone so read no meaning into this," Noëlla said.
“That girl er, she's just a hypocrite, she'd say something and do the opposite," Xtha concluded.
“Don't judge a book by its cover Xtha." Emma reprimanded.
“As for this book dier, I'd judge by its cover, because it's contents are no different from the cover." She huffed as they entered the classroom.
“Noëlla wait!" Adade called as she rolled her eyeballs.
“What is it again?" She sighed.
“I just want to be your friend." He told as she looked at both Brieanna and Xtha who were giving her the go-ahead.
“Fine, here's my digits." She said to him as he typed it on his phone.
“Later." She walked off.
