CHAPTER 2
••••••••
Nathan was already on his way to the principal’s office immediately he left the class, leaving Gabriel to his fate to face the ridicule and laughter from the students. How can he say there are 25 bones in the skull? What was he doing when his teacher was passing out the lesson? And whoever hired him in the first place was maybe high on cheap drugs that day. He finally stopped at the principal’s office and he placed a gentle knock on the door, his deep voice came from inside with a reply, and Nathan stepped into the largest office in the school.
“Nathan” The principal called immediately he entered.
“Good morning sir” He said respectfully.
“Morning, what brought you to my office this morning?” The principal asked.
“Sir I have a complaint to lay” Nathan replied and the principal focused his attention on him instantly.
“What’s it? Go on, I’m listening” He said.
“Was Gabriel really interviewed before being hired as a biology tutor?” Nathan asked, placing a hand on the long table.
The principal raised a questionable brow.
“What do you mean? Why do you ask that?” He questioned.
Nathan sighed before continuing.
“Sir with due respect can you answer my question first” Nathan stated.
“Ok, he was interviewed” He answered.
“Really? Whoever that interviewed him was really high on cheap drugs and cheap alcohol…
“Hey!” The principal banged his hand on the table hard.
“Wait, don’t tell me you carried out the interview yourself, I don’t want to believe it but if it was you, were you on cheap drugs sir?”
“Point out your words Nathan” The principal snapped, raising a bit tone of his deep voice.
“What I mean is this, nobody in his right senses would hire Gabriel as a teacher, can you imagine he said in class that there are 25 bones in the skull”
“What!!” The principal gasped.
“He had been teaching the wrong thing since he arrived two weeks ago, is it that we don’t have qualified teachers anymore sir? He is not even qualified to teach in the elementary school. Okay sir, I get there is no teacher to handle that, what about I start teaching the course myself and you know you will give me a little pay off” Nathan smiled after his last statement.
The principal rubbed his forehead and groaned lowly. He already knew how his boldness is so high..to the highest peak.
“We are working on that, we already got a replacement for him, so you can leave now” The principal said not wanting to hear more from him.
“Ok” Nathan said and walked out of the office.
“He’s such a headache, Africans are really crazy and so bold” He sighed out, resting back on his chair.
“That was harsh, yunno” Pascal said as they ate whilst talking.
Nathan looked up immediately.
“I wasn’t harsh, I was only putting him in his place” Nathan said, taking a spoon into his mouth.
“Saying his teeth look like a crocodile’s own, geez, you are so bad-mouthed” Pascal laughed.
“I no dey too soft like you” Nathan said.
“What do you mean?” Pascal asked.
“You are too soft” He replied, looking up.
“Ok, I can’t deny that, I think we should report him to the principal, he has been teaching nonsense”
“Already reported him and I bet you that fool is going to be replaced by someone, he’s not qualified”
“Make him go farm cassava for house” Nathan scoffed.
“Cassava? farm? You mean he should start working in a cassava farm?” Pascal asked and Nathan nodded.
“You are something else” Pascal smiled and Nathan laughed.
Pascal looked around and saw the girls eyes on them, they were smiling and talking while staring.
“Looking at the girls ?” Nathan asked and Pascal looked at him.
“We are handsome and hot dude you can’t blame them, I can’t believe we are still single at 20” Nathan said, uncapping a bottle of water.
“Look for one then” Pascal smiled, taking a full bite from the sweet crêpes.
“I’m waiting for you” Nathan giggled.
“You are not serious” Pascal said and they started laughing.
A car drove into the apartment and immediately the car stopped. Josephine came out with an older woman. She looked around the environment and the house, and a satisfactory smile appeared on her face.
She faced the woman, she is an agent and she rented the house through her help.
“I love this place” She smiled.
“I was so sure you were going to love it” The older woman smiled.
“Let me get my bags” She said and went to the car trunk, she opened the trunk and brought out three bags.
“Let me help you with one” The older woman offered and she smiled.
“Thank you” Josephine said.
“Let’s go” The older woman said and Josephine went after her. They stopped at the door as the older woman unlocked the door and they walked inside.
Josephine was amazed at the beautiful living room and how it was fashionably designed.
“You can check the house later, let me show you to your room, I need to go somewhere now” The woman said and Josephine nodded.
They walked the remaining distances to her room, there were two rooms there and they passed the first room to stop at the second door.
The woman unlocked the door and they walked in.
“Here is your room” She smiled.
“Everything here is beautiful, I love this place already, I love silent environment”
“I’m best, I can arrange people to help you arrange your things”
“No you don’t have to, I will do it by myself” Josephine said.
“Ok, I will be leaving now, take care” The woman said and handed over the keys to her.
She walked out and Josephine walked out with her. Earlier when they got here she saw another door and a question mark struck on that so she wanted to clear her curiosity.
“There are two rooms, does anyone stay in this one?” She asked, pointing at the door.
“Oh! Sorry, you have a roommate and he is a guy” The woman replied.
“I have a male roommate?” She asked, astonished.
“What don’t you understand? There’s another person living here, there are only two rooms in this house and he occupied the first room” The woman explained further.
“Ok, I get you” Josephine let out a smile.
“Bye, if you need anything you will call me” The woman said and walked out.
Josephine let out a sigh and looked at the door, she couldn’t think she would be living with someone else in this house. Hope he’s a good person and not troublesome.
She opened the door back and walked in, she glanced at the closet and took her eyes to her bag. The room is sparkling clean already so no need for cleaning, she only has to arrange her clothes.
She dragged the three bags to the clothes and started arranging her things in, she was done in twenty minutes and she fell on the big bed, smiling afterwards.
Her phone started ringing and she glanced at the screen to see her mother calling.
She answered the call.
“Mum” She said.
“Have you arrived there?” Mrs Kings asked.
“Yes, you do care to know?” Josephine replied.
“You are my child though you are so stubborn but I can’t ignore you” Mrs Kings replied.
“Ok mum, the house is so cool and beautiful, I love it” Josephine said.
“Take care of yourself, bye” Mrs Kings said and hung up.
Josephine dropped her phone and fell on the bed with a heave escaping her lips.
This is the place Landon works in, he’s the owner of the salon shop.
He got the best treatment so his salon is flooded with customers but that’s not the only reason he has many customers, his handsome face attracts many customers. Some of the ladies come to his shop just to get a stare at his handsome face.
🗣️ His face when working always got me turn on
🗣️ Seeing his face is enough for me
🗣️How can someone on earth be this handsome?
🗣️I love his smile, so sëxy
Landon was working on a lady’s hair, other ladies were waiting for him, mostly his admirers.
The lady kept trying to get his attention but nah he isn’t that type. He packed her hair into a ponytail.
“I need you to doll up my face” The lady looked up at him.
“Okay” He smiled.
She tried touching his hand but he stylishly shifted away, and smiled.
“Brother” Pascal called, coming in.
Landon looked at the door and grinned.
“Kiddo” He smiled as Pascal got to him and hugged him.
“Thought you didn’t miss me?” Landon laughed.
“I slightly miss you” Pascal said.
“You miss me don’t change the narrative” Landon said, patting her hair.
🗣️ His brother is just as cute as him
🗣️ The resemblance
🗣️ I’m falling for his face already
🗣️ He’s a highschool student
“Your customers are crazy” Pascal whispered.
“Where is Nathaniel?” Landon asked.
“He went to the recording label company he submitted his songs”
“He got the vocals. I don’t know they are not accepting him” Landon sighed.
“It’s complicated, so brother no girlfriend yet?” Pascal pouted.
“Stop pouting, the right time will come”
“You are getting old try and marry”
“Hey!!!” Landon yelled and Pascal chuckled.
“You hungry?” Landon asked.
“Yes” Pascal nodded.
“I’m coming” Landon smiled.
Nathan rubbed his palms together as he got closer to the company. He was walking nervously till he got to the door.
He sighed heavily and did a secret prayer before stopping at the door. The guards there recognized him and they allowed him entry. He took the elevator to the CEOs floor and he walked out.
He saw many popular musicians who are signed under the company coming out with their managers and he swallowed hard, he had always dreamt of being in their place one day.. The day the world would start listening to his music.
He debuted a while ago but the highest streams he got on his songs doesn’t amount to a thousand streams, he’s an underground artist and this will be the fifteen companies he will be submitting his songs to.
He kept looking at the big artists till they walked out. He walked further in and he met the secretary.
“Good afternoon” He said respectfully.
“Nathan” The secretary smiled at him.
“The CEO is free now, you can go in” She said friendly.
He smiled and bowed slightly before making his way into the CEOs office.
The CEO looked up immediately when he entered the office, he was with his assistant.
“Good afternoon sir” Nathan said politely.
“Nathaniel” The CEO said.
“I gave your songs a review but…
Nathan’s heart beat fast in a motion and he looked at the CEO expecting the worst. Is he going to reject him too?
“Your songs lack quality and you sing like a child, work more on your lyrics and I might consider signing you, you can leave” The CEO said.
Nathan wasn’t shocked or surprised, he’s used to this rejection. He sadly walked out of the office.
“Why did you say that to him? You know he sings better than the artists you signed under this company, he got lyrics and his pen game is topnotch, his vocals are the deal” The assistant said.
“He got no fanbase, his cvmulative streams doesn’t amount upto a thousand streams and you expect me to invest millions on such an artist, he’s good but I can’t spend on him” The CEO shot.
“I’m sure you won’t lose if you take him in”
“We are done with this discussion ” The CEO snapped and the assistant shut up.
Nathan kept blinking back his tears as he walked dejectedly.
“You sing like a child” He remembered the words again.
It hurts so much, he doesn’t have any fanbase but he got good songs, he’s sure of that… Remembering the CEOs words brought tears to his eyes but right now he’s trying his best not to cry, he won’t shed a tear.
He stopped a taxi and got in.
Pascal got home an hour ago and he has been inside his room. He earlier heard sounds in the next room but he blew the thoughts away.
He got bored of his room and he stood up from the bed and walked out.
At the same time Josephine came out of her room too, she wanted to get something from the kitchen. After taking a tour around the house she has been sleeping since.
Their eyes met immediately and Josephine stopped just like him and they started staring.
Is he the one? The roommate?
Who’s she? Is she his new roommate?
Pascal was the one who broke the awkward silence which hung in the air.
“Hey” He smiled.
“Hi” Josephine replied.
“You new here?” He asked.
“Wrong sentence” She said.
“Huh?” He blinked.
“You’re new here is the right sentence to say” She corrected and his eyes widened.
Did she just correct his English?
