Hannah And I - S01 E08 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

Just at that moment, Hannah walked past us and I knew she saw part of the drama though I couldn’t tell whether she heard anything. After I saw Susan off, I decided to clear my doubt and went to Hannah’s house. I met her sitting and pressing her phone. Normally, she would smile and hug me whenever I visit her but she even pretended not to notice my presence.

‘Hannah, I’m sorry,’ I said tapping her on the shoulder.

She cast an askance look at me and made to walk out but I quickly held her back. She struggled to free herself but I didn’t let her go until it slipped out of my hand. She dashed me a brain-formatting slap. It was hotter than the two Susan gave me. My left eye dropped the tear in it yet she didn’t feel concerned but walked out. Maybe that day was a bad day, taking slaps from two different girls.

When I got home, I started thinking of what could happen if Susan tells her mother. My family would be in great doom. We would become so poor that church rats will be far richer than us.

‘Oh, no! I pray she doesn’t’

I picked my phone which has been ringing since and Susan was caller. She told me she’s gotten home and assured me that she won’t tell her mom on a condition to erase Hannah from my memory.

Time for exam came, I was reading in the library with my Tom and Jerry {Ajay got the name when I found out his Christian name is Jeremiah}. Tom asked me why I haven’t been speaking with Hannah. My silly friends thought it was because of Samuel. I hissed at them and fucused more on my Modern Biology textbook.

‘What’s your problem sef? We’ve been asking you what’s going on between you and this girl since monday but you refused to tell us. The two of you were in good terms on Friday, you guys even went home doing lovey-dovey so what’s with the sudden change in your behaviour?” Jerry poured out as I stared at his moving lips.

‘I wonder why he’s keeping it from us because I am very sure something transpired between them during the weekend’ Tom added.

I explained everything to them. Susan’s visit to my house, the meeting with Hannah and the hot slaps, everything!
Also, the call I received from Susan telling me to stay away from Hannah and that she has spies in the school that tells her everything about me.

My friends wanted to know what was behind Susan and her mom’s threat but I refused to tell them. They advised me to forget about Susan and move on with Hannah, I just nodded and told them OK.

They can’t know Susan more than me. I knew what she is made of. I left the library for the exam.

The Pre-Examination Preparation (PREP) came and went. Throughout the period, I didn’t say a single word to Hannah. Even when she sent for me, I ignored her and warned the person she sent not to ever disturb me again and that if she wants to talk to me, she should come herself. Sending a junior student to me is not proper. Since that day, she stopped greeting me and it was really a good chance to stay away from her. I really wanted to stay away from her so as to save myself from Susan’s threat.
