The Stranger and The Prospective Boyfriend

It became obvious in classroom that Tenson and Fiona had became soulmates .They were just better than friends . The sitting plan was for Tenson to sit at the back , but Tenson found the distance between him and Fiona was just too far . He moved and always sat with Fiona in the first row. Both Fiona and Tenson were ambitious, well mannered , well respectful but there was something more deeper in between them . Like twins , they liked similar things , they loved similar hobbies and sometimes they would finish sentences for each other . In one science paper exam both Tenson and Fiona , despite sitting far from.each other in the exam hall , got 88% and both failed similar questions. After school it took three hours for Fiona to reach home . Not that she was up to anything bad , Fiona would stand near the large baobab tree with a smile on her face talking to Tenson . Elders and villagers passed them wondering what were these teens up to. Tenson spotted something on Fiona's blouse . He raised his hands and she looked anxiously wondering to herself he wanted to hold her . " No , its not that I want to hold you , there is something crawling on your blouse , stay calm ." Tenson told her and his large beefy hands picked the spider and dropped it on the floor . Fiona was perplexed , ' how does he read my thoughts ? ' she couldn't know how . When Fiona got home it was dark . Her mother looked at her sternly and disapprovingly . Fiona threw her school bag in the bedroom , she changed the school uniform and wore slippers . " I am just worried you are spending too much time with Tenson . I heard from neighbours that you stood together talking under the tree by the road for long, what is going between you two ? " Fiona shrugged her shoulders . Her mother said , " my daughter you are brilliant in classroom , don't waste your time with boys. I know Tenson has a good reputation in our village but things happen and you know very well that if your father finds out then I will be in trouble ." " Mum , I just talk to Tenson . We are talking about exams ." ' Ah , I see , you are my good girl ." Fiona washed the dishes , made dinner and cleaned the house before going to bed . While doing her house chores all she thought about was Tenson . When she said her prayers before bedtime she included Tenson . She wondered to herself what would the world have become if Tenson was to be transferred to another school . She corrected her thoughts , ' no , Tenson is going no where , Tenson is here to stay ." At night Fiona was dreaming . She and Tenson met a man with white shiny hairs . The man pulled them together and he said , " Today I pronounce you and Tenson as lovers ." When she got up there was nothing . Fiona got ready for school . When she reached school she checked for Tenson . She put her bags in the classroom her eyes looking around . She was wondering why Tenson was running late . Tenson is normally early , she told herself . The school bell rang . Tenson was no where to be seem . Other school girls were calling her , " Fiona ! Let's go for assembly ! The teacher is waiting ." Fiona found her legs failing to walk to the assembly . She didn't want to tell her school girl friends she was checking if Tenson was already in school . She stayed in classroom . When she heard the footsteps her heart jumped ! Fiona thought it was Tenson coming . The teacher, Mr Phiri stood there in front of her, " What are you doing here Fiona ? " " Am not well, sir ." Fiona lied . " Alright stay here I will get you the school nurse ." The school nurse came and all Fiona could do was , ' I want to go home, my stomache mwee ." She was given a sick note.
