Linda, who was my girl friend's best friend, happened to be in thesame bus with me like i said, sitted a couple of seats in front of me and my cold-now-warm-thanks-to-me-friend. Apparently she was going to check something in her luggage at the back, or maybe she was coming our way just to confront me. That's history now. Here's what ensued....
Linda: El! (Thats me)
I looked up and when i saw who it was, i jerked!Not as if i was doing anything wrong, but i know linda and i know her mouth. She's the kind of girl you need when you wanna spread gist fast, and she will definitely add her own personal add-on's to whatever she's telling. This was not going to do my present situation any good.
Linda: El!
El: Ah ah! Hi linda. Whatchu doing here?
Linda: Whats that s'posed to mean. I'm going to school too.
The poor girl i was helping out couldn't really care more for whatever was going on, all she knew was that she was not so cold anymore and that was fine with her. As for me? Bad for appearances, obviously. At this point, i had given Linda all the go-first-explain-later-looks i could formulate. For where, she no even wan look my face. It all fell on deaf ears....or eyes. I made a mental note to stuff Linda down with sand next time i got her alone. She was so annoying.
Linda: I see you're busy.
EL: Me? Oh, just trying to help.
Linda: What kind of help.
El: Never mind.
Linda: I should never mind? Its ok, don't worry.
Don't worry. Linda asked me not to worry. If any other person asked me not to worry, i wouldn't. But a don't worry? Coming from Linda? That was a good time to start worrying. I mean reaallllly worry! Yeah, Linda had that effect on everyone. She was the kind of person you'll contact when you wanted quick disemination of gist, true or untrue! I could just picture her giving Nkiru (my g'friend)an exponentially adjusted picture of what she saw. I had had it.....or not. This actually ended well, expectedly so, cos i wasn't up to anything bad abi? Eeeh!!
Linda didn't speak to me for the rest of the trip. When we all got down she got her stuff and just left without a word. Not a word at all. As for Mary ( that's the cold girl), we exchanged numbers (that would be the most decent thing we could do) and went our seperate ways.
Long story short: Linda squeeled, Nkiru confronted, i explained, i got 3 days probation. We got back together! Happy ever after huh?
