"This neighborhood is at some point quiet and boring", said Michelle in a bit to start up a conversation among her peers.
The peer consisting of four other young boys and girls. The discussion went on very cool and spiced, everyone making out his or her own contribution. They were almost getting tired of talking, before one of them called Ella chipped in;
"has anyone seen the new girl that came around yesterday?"
No one was tired again, especially the guys.
"Wait, you mean the girl with red hair?".Bruno was the executioner of this question because he was always known for liking different variety of girls.
"Yes, she is the one", Ella said to the satisfaction of Bruno.
The discussion of this new girl took a whole lot of their time, though, as they were all engaging in the discussion, one among them known to be the most quiet and sensitive did not actually contribute much. He just did more of listening and chuckling. What was that thing they said about silent people? They are not foolish, they calculate their attack and defense simultaneously. That might also be the case with Ekaris, the quiet one, but we can not determine this currently.
The next day was Sunday, all of them as usual attended church for sermons and other activities therein. The new girl was not left out, she also went too. After the church activities, one of them was so happy and a little bit satisfied to the amusement of others.
"I know it wasn't the sermon that's making you feel so happy, so tell us", Michelle who was already curious to know what was behind those smiles on Bruno's face asked.
"Well, I will spare you guys the guess", Bruno smiled and continued,
" you guys remember that new girl with red hair, —all nodding in affirmation, I sat with her during the sermon".
"Mehnn, you are a bad guy", Clinton who was the youngest person in the group said with a congratulatory handshake.
All of them were happy for him for at least going closer to what he had wanted because they all knew him very well. As they were still chatting and laughing, then, the new girl surfaced. She looked confused and needed help, as she saw the group of cute friends, she felt to ask them for help.
"Hi guys", with her tiny voice she greeted and continued,
"were you not the one that sat beside me in church, wow, nice meeting you again"
As she brought out her hand for formal handshakes and introduction. She introduced herself as Enola and the rest of the group did likewise. She inquired whatever was her confusion and was cleared.
"I stay down the street, what of you guys?" She questioned.
At that moment, it seemed as if she was talking directly to Bruno and he always got an answer.
"Yeah of course, we stay just close to your street, and I guess we all go home at once". Everyone was positive to his proposal and they all went home still chatting and exchanging thoughts in pairs.
"Just see how Bruno is smiling like a fool", Ella whispered to Michelle and both burst into boisterous laughter to the driving attention of others.
Just after then, Bruno got hold of himself and realized that he might as well be the cause of their laughter. He became suddenly uncomfortable and insisted they hasten up with there movement. Sooner enough, they arrived to their destination, the new girl first and the rest of them.
That night, Bruno was more of a watchman. He was startled and unable to sleep peacefully. The thought of the new girl kept on ringing loud in his head. He had imagined both the possible and impossible, even to the extent of imagining having kids with this new girl. The new girl, how would she have known what was being planned behind her backs. As if it was a wizard planning on how to go for the night attack.
As morning came, he decided to go out for his usual morning workout. Oh!, I did not tell you, Bruno had a well built body and it looked much more attractive when he has no shirts on or when he is putting on something tight enough to show his packs. No wonder he loved them. Afternoon was almost approaching when he decided to make his way back to the house. Coincidentally, he met Enola just as she was about leaving her house.
"Hi, how're you doing, hope your night was cool?" He asked.
"I'm fine thank you, sorry, we can talk when I get back, I'm really in a hurry", she said almost turning off.
Bruno was insistent and refused to let her be unless she disclosed where she was going.
"Ok, I wanna go to the coast side, I have unfinished business to attend to", she ended starring at him so that he would be satisfied.
"I didn't know you were from there, wow, I will see you when you return then", Bruno said and smiled.
In no time, the girl was off and Bruno made his way inside his house.
The rest of the day was not useful for Bruno as he was extremely tired. He stayed at the gym house longer than usual. It was during the evening time that his friends came to look for him, that was when he had regained some strength.
