Chapter 3 YES DANIEL

CHAPTER THREE

Daniel began “Listen everyone in this department today” he was actually shouting at the top of his voice. You might wonder where the teachers are that we were able to do what we like in the school but don’t worry, that was my school for you. So Daniel said “there is something I must tell you guys and please do me a favour by telling the rest of your friends who are not in this department” I became so scared of what he might revealed “hope he is not trying to dump me because of this girl” I said to myself.

Daniel turned, looked at me again, smiled and then faced the rest of the class again and this time he said and did something shocking . . .

“Guys, I want to reveal something today to you guys all” Daniel continued then he turned and faced me “from today this is the girl I want to love, this is the girl want to protect” then he turned and faced them “Bright didn’t fall for me, I actually fell for her” suddenly there were random discussions in the class. I looked around some where rolling their eyes against me; some were pointing their fingers towards me, while some were staring at me.

Seriously, was I supposed to feel shy or to blush or to just walk out of the class?

I don’t think I was the first girl that a guy had publicly revealed his love for her. Daniel continued “I know you guys are surprised, seriously, I don’t know why it is that way but what I’ve said is the truth” he then turned and faced me again this time he was smiling and I began to smile also “Uwana” wow!!! Daniel called my native name and he called that name only for the first time. It didn’t really sound as bad as I thought it would be. Then he continued but my eyes were fixed in his “I want to love you for the rest of my life, if God makes it possible I want to marry you, I want you to be my partner in everything. I am so much in love with you” then, suddenly, he knelt down. I became so shocked “Uwana I would like to ask you out in the presence of everybody here. Please Uwana would you be my baby girl?”

Sincerely, I can swear on the fact that I became so shy again that I felt the ground should open and swallow me. I looked at Daniel and I could see just true love in his eyes, his eyes suggested that he was really not joking.

Then I said “Yes Daniel, I want to be your baby girl” suddenly there were shouts and claps and whistles all around us. Daniel got up and straight away without given me a heads up he locked his lips on mine and just like that we were kissing in front of all the class and after that he hugged me so tight that I remembered the way he hugged me during my birthday celebration.

Most of the girls immediately went out of the class with faces that suggested I should better watch my back but I don’t think I have the time to care about that because right now I am the happiest girl in the whole wide world.

We released each other and immediately it was time for break he held my hand and we went out of the class to get our food.

We were walking and everybody were just staring at us like we were the ones that killed their grandfathers but Daniel did not even turn left or right, he was just looking straight and was smiling towards some of his male friends playing football on the field.

We went and ate our food together. We actually ate the same kind of food. Then we went back to our separate departments with hugs and kisses in between our separation to our classes.

“Wow! Finally I am in a relationship with the most handsome guy in the whole school.” I knew so well that I would have obstacles to face in the school because not all the girls were in support of the fact that UWANA was dating the most handsome guy in the school. So I knew I had to watch out and be very careful. Although, I really wished I said yes to him much earlier on but that wasn’t my fault, I had to follow the rules in my family.

The thing was, my father was a true disciplinarian, especially to the girls in the family. He is a man that believes no guy is trust worthy. We were only allowed to walk or come home with female friends only. The most annoying part was that he constantly went through our phones to check how whether we have disobeyed him at one point or the other.

My elder sister came home one time with her secret boyfriend. My father was in his room when it was as if he installed a spiritual camera in the house. He just came out and asked me where my sister was, I began to stammer, so he just pushed me aside. By that time, he was so furious. You could actually see how angry he was. The whole thing looked like he had figured out something was not going his way in the house. If you ask me how that was possible, my answer would be “I really don’t know.”

He went straight up to my sister’s room, I followed him only for us to push the door open and the room was empty. I was sure they were in the room. How they managed to escape without him knowing was what I could not explain at all. He looked around the room and then he turned and went out.

I was happy, because I can’t really imagine what would have happened to the both of them. My father would have messed them up.
