Episode 2
The school bell rang, and within minutes the
assembly ground was filled with students. I
hurried to the ss2 girls line and fixed myself
into a position, where i got a tap from
behind. It was Deborah Omonaiye, my best
friend. We smiled and chuckled at each
other, whispering words only we, could
understand. We listened to the
announcement made by the principal, who
left after the announcement leaving the ss3
prefects to end the assembly with the usual
routine of show me your nails, where is ur
socks etc.
The ss3 prefects shared themselves into
different class with the head boy, Deborah’s
immediate elder brother, Nicholas Omonaiye
inspecting my class. I have never agreed to
be on the same boat with Nicholas, i can’t
stand him. I remember how he had written
me a love letter in my jss1, which i gave to
the principal who punished him infront of
every one present at school that day. And
since then, we have become enemies, now, i
wonder why he chose to inspect this class.
Nicholas looked more handsome than ever,
he has a well built tall body with fair
complexion, he was known as smart, funny
and intelligent but the only thing i know
about him was his arrogance.
I kept my calm even if i couldnt stand the
sight of him, i thought i would explode if he
comes close to me but he seems to draw
near, as he moved towards me on this line.
“Oh, how i hate him, see the way he keeps
flirting with the female students. Yuck i feel
like throwing up” i said irritated, to Deborah
who laughed uncontrollaby.
“What does he even feel like?” i held on
tightly to Deborah’s hand as Nicholas got to
me.
I was restless and already sweating and felt
like throwing up on him. He looked at me
and smiled making me wonder why he was
smiling. He drew closer to me and
whispered into my ear and i felt like melting
into the ground. He left me to inspect others,
then after which dismissed us into our
various class.
I lost concentration in class that morning,
and wondered why he wanted to see me
during lunch break. Deborah was the only
one who knew what Nicholas told me, she
has told me a million times that she can’t
wait 2 have me as her sister inlaw.
While still in deep thought, the school bell
rang for lunch break, and i felt sick as the
sound of ban ga, ban ga, ban ga came out
from the bell. I buried my face in my hands
and prayed that moment pass me by, i also
dismissed Deborah with a nod when she
asked if i was alright telling her i would join
her at the school’s restaurant. I composed
myself and was determined to eat before
seeing the headboy if not i would lose my
appetite for the rest of the day.
I hurried to the school’s restaurant but was
stopped from buying my snacks by
Raymond the games prefect who happens
to be Nicholas best friend.
