Chapter 3: The Devil I Know

Chapter 3

I didn't even confront him, I cried so much already and confronting him will make me cry more, I looked at him, he is seated at the back, he is tallest and also one of the oldest, am 13 and he is 15, most guys fear him and he hardly makes friends. At first, I wanted to change that and make him socialize but seeing the devil he is, he should be alone.

"Have you dried them?" Martha asked, I gave her a nod, it is already afternoon so most of it is dried

"Look at the bright side, you have Oliver to with," she said and my mood lifted, the prefect, gave me and Oliver a portion to work together.

"Maybe I will then tell him" I said and looked at his side, he is chatting with his guys, he is so perfect, not like the devil I know, I now looked at him, he is looking at the window, looking angry, is the window provoking him now, I rolled my eyes, then as I regain my vision he has his eyes on me, the angry expression is gone, he smiled at me and mouthed cupcake. I faced front for I know that's him devising another prank.

I left to clear the part after school, am already practicing what to say to Oliver and how I will accidentally push him down, with me o top him then lay one on him, I can already imagine what our wedding will be like.

"So can we start" I heard him say, he is here, time to put everything in motion. But first, let's start clearing the bush

"Good," I said, I can feel my face heat up.

It's like a new couple clearing their farmland, I love the way he held his cutlass, it's so manly, I focused on my work and thinking what to say. A chill ran over me, only one person gives me such chill, I looked up to see the devil talking to my Oliver, this can't be good

"Thanks," Oliver said, am confused, I didn't hear what he told him "I will be going, Esther, you brother is cool" Oliver said and took off

"What did you do" I barked at him

"Nothing, just relieved him of his duties cupcake" he said

"How" I asked

"I told him to leave, that I will do his part" he said like he just did a good thing

"And once again you ruined my plan" I barked at him "you were the one that even made me late in the first place" I said, God just kill him

"I thought you would be happy that I relieved you crush" he said angrily, and I gasped, is that obvious "well I relieved him, doesn't mean I relieve you, as a matter of fact, I just worsen your case" he said with a wicked grin

"What do you mean" I asked nervously

"I mean, I won't help you out cupcake" he said, and my eye widened

"Then why did you make him go" I said as I felt the tears starting to warm up.

"Cause your misery happens to be my amusement," he said with a sinister smile.

"I will just go home," I said, he giggled

"Then you and your crush will be punished" he said nonchalantly,

"I will tell them, you are the cause"

"I will say that I tried to help, you forced me to go home and leave the work, that Oliver is a fool for leaving, I begged and you refused" he said looking at me, and I know that will bring more problems with Oliver, I bit my lower lips to hold down my tears.

"I never thought hating you more is possible, how wrong, cause I just did" I said as tears welled up

"Isn't that splendid cupcake?" he said, then left me to clear the whole field, how much more will I take before I report him. I fear that if I report him, it might affect the happy marriage my mom has, cause our parents might be forced to choose sides. Even though I have no evidence that he is doing it to me.

Earlier I thought by now I will be in the arms of Oliver, now am alone clearing the field, my hand is already paining me, that devil will be at home by now done with his chores, God I hate him. I hate him more whenever people say he is handsome looking, I wish they can see past his angelic face and see the devil he is.

The devil continued making my life a living hell, my Jss 3 is something I will never forget because of him, sometimes he won't play any prank on me, even up to a week, when I think he has forgotten all about me he will come at me with a bigger prank. Today is our last paper, I know this will be my last chance to tell Oliver so am determined not to let it slip.

After the paper, everybody was jubilating, except the devil who is just standing and watching, he doesn't have friends, he doesn't want to, cause I hear stories of how he turned down girls that want to date him, even from the senior class, some even beg me to help them. I wonder what they see in him, they should just look past his handsomeness and see the ugliness in him. I search the crowd to see my Oliver and friends throwing sachet water at each other, some of the girls are included. I took my time to look at him, that's the guy I want to be with, he is good, humble and good looking, I know girls say the devil is the most handsome, I think they are all blind.

Oliver with his low cut, tall and dark, a smile that stops my heart every time, his red lips, I keep dreaming of kissing that lips, I want my first kiss to be with him. He is the light that I use to fight away that devil, though it is no longer working, I think the devil has dominated my thinking and every cell, I need to get closer to that light so that he will dispel the darkness. I started moving my feet towards Oliver, this is it, my last chance to tell him my mind, I fear he might reject me but I have hope he won't, even if he doesn't like me, he is such a gentleman that he won't turn me down cruelly, unlike a certain devil I know.
