Chapter 11: Chapter 11
"Ss2 students!!! " Mr. Jide The tallest figure in school a.k.a our principal with the most annoying accent I ever heard was speaking....if you ask me..bladderdash .he was a tall lanky man with a small nose and a small mouth that seemed to hold water in it whenever he spoke
"I heard you all are trying to turn this school into a market place!" He squeaked...he didn't have a loud voice and we had to strain our ears to hear whatever he was saying
"This school has it's reputation for being the best in the state and as such we are obliged to keep the standards of the school high.." mr.jide was ranting
Whoever had given this school an award for excellence had a botox injected into his brain
This school that is full of yeye..ish characters....
"And if noisemaking is the only thing that you all are good at then I wonder if this is how you will pass your upcoming GCE exams..." he raised his voice slightly with creased eyebrows
"In less than a month now you'll be writing your exams...and you'll be warming up for your waec...and that reminds me..."he said as students murmured lightly
Thank God he commot for our matter
"Ss3' s students...you people who should be ready for the waec exams are busy fooling around...what exactly do you expect your junior ones to learn from you? You are supposed to have it in the back of your head that after this school you'll have to face a larger world....fooling around and noisemaking would never help you in life......."
I didn't get to listen to the rest of anything he was saying...I had my attention on my legs...they hurt alot, standing and listening to dry mr.jide was a whole lot of work.
After assembly. Shola, Bubie and i walked back to class together chattering along and stupidly assessing everyone's personality
"That girl is Tracy"shola was saying referring to a plump average height girl with in a pink sweater and a beautiful conrow that fitted her profile ...I didn't get to see her face well
But if her profile is beautiful then that means she's beautiful too right?
"Who's Tracy?" I asked
"Tracy damilola...Andrew's ex girlfriend" Bubbie replied
"Really... Andrew had a girlfriend? "I ask quite curious
"Of course na!" Shola replied giving me a look that said see-this-one "wait what do you expect that the fine guys in this school would turn saints overnight when 'almost' every girl would be drooling over them" she said using her hands to put the almost in quotes while rolling her eyes
"Fine guys..."Bubbie scoffed "how many are they na"
"At least quite a number esp in ss2b sha " Shola replied
"Anyway I like that girl...I mean tracy, she's a nice person"
"How do you know?"
"Cause I know" shola replied flatly "if only Andrew didn't break up with her to date miss flying fire they would have won the award of most beautiful couples in social night"
"Abi...that's why high school relationship is really a waste of time joor " Bubbie agreed
"Not all though I've read novels when high school lovers get to marry each other "
"And I've watched movies when on a scale of 1-100 percent. 10 was bound not to work out"
"As if...if i was the one I would just leave everything called a relationship till I'm done with university sef "
"Says the girl crushing on her next door neighbor "bubbie said sneering
"It's just a crush okay who knows if it will work out sef "
"At least university is too far to begin a relationship na you'll now be looking like a nun they just had set free " bubbie argued
"That's even when it's sweeter at least you get to take your time "Shola defended
" if i tell you I totally agree with you just know I had developed a k-leg... I mean you won't keep ignoring handsome guys all in the name of after uni you could have even said till you get a job then you can start thinking of dating "bubbie replied snorting
"And that's even way possible...christy what do you think? " she asked.
I didn't follow up in there arguments cause i had zoned out loooong ago.my attention had been on Andrew who had been talking to miss flying fire in an uninterested manner. His attention seemed to light up when our eyes met and he gave me a small smile which had me doing backflips in my tummy...the same backflips I had done when we first met but this time i was doing different tryouts of backflips.
Miss flying fire a.k.a Helen...that was the name shola and bubbie had chosen to give her for damned reasons why....her gaze had trailed Andrew's and had found out it landed on me.she sent me a death glare as I rolled my eyes. Who is she sef
" hello!!!" Bubbie called snapping her fingers at me as I stuttered jolting back from my mini world
"What? "I asked feigning annoyance
"Sis abeg next time remember to take us with you when you get lost in space" Shola retorted
"Sorry I had few important thoughts on my mind "I lied
"Seriously...share with us "Bubbie says giving me a concerned look as she pouted making her look cute
I laughed lightly" don't worry it's...." I didn't get to finish my sentence when someone bumped passed me rudely
"Excuse you "she snorted walking away...I immediately felt angry as I walked further to catch up with her and give her a piece of my mind when shola drew my arms back
"Leave her alone..please" she begged
"Abi...you see that witch? What did i do to her na?" I asked no one in particular
"Maybe she's jealous about that yesterday talk "
"What yesterday foolish talk ?"
"The one about Chris and you na...the one that kemi said...."
"Okay I get it" I said cutting her short " if not for the fact that we are in school..I would have slapped her overused brain...that's if she even had one " I spat angrily...letting go. As bubbie and shola chuckled
"Smile joor....Miss icy" shola said poking my cheeks as i rolled my eyes while walking into the class
********
I walked into the class leisurely to meet some students chatting, some gossiping and some reading...but as soon as i got in everyone's attention had turned on me while kemi got to the front of the class with a smirk playing around her lips as she banged the locker slightly and the whole class suddenly started singing
" CHRISTY AND CHRISTOPHER SITTING ON THE TREE K.I.S.S.I.N.G " I rolled my eyes with a hiss.I really thought everyone had forgotten about this...its not even like we were dating or we both had some kind of chemistry...
And as if someone had read my thoughts jumoke, a random guy had tuned his ipod to play the song " chemistry" by falz ft simi ...hot embarrassment flushed my face as i took my seat beside the jerk. While Helen got up abruptly to leave the class
"What's that ones headache "kemi asked laughing...I didn't even find this funny...all of them in this class were probably idiots
"Hi" Chris greeted as i ignored him bringing out my government note to copy
" wait ooh class I think the chemistry is about to work "
About to???
"Hey! Are you okay" chris asked as i glared at him coldly
" Leave me alone joor "I replied angrily...
Why was he doing like what they sang did not affect him?
Did it affect me if yes why??? I had asked myself
"I just wanted to know how your personality is doing " he retorts as I hiss loudly
" better than your brain " I say as kemi chrips in
"You see when lovers quarrel they are bound to end up together "
"Kemi!! Shut up" chris and I say simultaneously and for a second we stared at ourselves suprised at our outburst.
He gives me a smile and i roll my eyes
"Doesn't that hurt "he asked referring to my eye rolling
"It's better than having to seat beside you " I retort and his next action suprises me as he picked his books and bag while gesturing for kemi to seat beside me
"Enjoy yourself... " he says as he leaves
Seriously? Of all people kemi!!!
" please be quiet " I actually plea with her as she takes her seat gingerly beside me
"But what's your beef with Chris na ?" She asked as I roll my eyes for the umpteenth time
I thought I was just begging someone to be quiet
" I even shipped two of you names...even though your names starts with christy and chris. So there's no fun in it so I choose" totina" what do you think?"
"I think you should shut up" I said trying to sound as rude as possible
Imagine she even shipped our names!!!
"Gosh you're so rude"she said snorting
"Anyway as i was saying...." this time i didn't let her finish her statement cause I knew kemi wasn't ready to stay quiet anytime soon
".......that bullshit is the name your mum called you after birth immediately she saw your face" I smirked as her expression darkened.then adding sweetly while giving her my fakest smile
"Now would you please shut up"I said watching in amusement as she tried to find her voice
"Chinsos!!!" Obi who was just getting into the class shouted as the whole class burst into laughter
"Kemi she yaff finish you" jumoke said wipping fake tears from his eyes while chris, bubbie and shola stared at me in shock...
Kemi got up swiftly gesturing to Chris to come sit back on his chair
"Chris abeg come back to your seat...she's too rude" she said almost at the verge of breaking down in tears...
Just then mr.segun our further maths teacher walked in.....as most students groan
"C'mon would you shut up and bring out your notes" he barked making the whole class suddenly quiet
Maths was a terrorist!!
