Chapter 18: Chapter 18
••�
Everyone chatted noisily after assembly, some gossiping about the latest celebrity news and some debating between wizkid's and beyonce's "Brown skinned girl" vs davido's and Chris Brown's " blow my mind " which one was a knack while some people debated who was going to be the head girl of our set and some people talking about the latest Nigerian movies featuring on Netflix and foreign movies...
Let's not forget those talking about k dramas and Bts band, telemundo series " betty in new York" and zee world " mehek" and those talking about the latest naija hit jamz p.s this was mainly the guy's topics together with football matches
Some in the educational topic discussing what subjects they were going to write in waec and jamb and how they plan on following up teachers despite being annonying p.s these topic were for nerds
We also had educational criminals who were scheming how to sneak in answers during exams and test
And while others talked about random topics and guy's who were hitting on them during break and what mischief they were up to doing the little break
Some talked about having attending birthday parties esp people like Helen were in this category talking about how zlatan, rema and fire boy were present in a friend's birthday party and different concerts she wished to attend in the university
And the rest of the others in ss2 b were either reading absentmindly or just moping around with bored expression written on their faces....
My category was me and my friends shouting noisily on how mid term had been fun and a good number of hot guys hitting on we
" so this guy had asked me out but I really turned turned him down" bubbie said
" why nau? Opportunity comes but once " shola whined
As bubbie eyes her " ehn then what happens to Damien ?"
" didn't you say it was just a crush.?" I asked blinking my eyes at her
" and didn't you hear that sometimes your crush could actually become your squeeze as long as a Cupid angel is involved " bubbie retorts as shola and i laugh
" Bu bu baby!!!!!!......oya fire us na " kemi replies mischeviously as she hailed bubbie who eyed her playfully
" well...Damien had asked me out on Saturday cause he wanted we both to hang out on sunday and we actually had fun not without him giving me a peck on my....."
" someone scream Bumien!!!!"shola screams holding her hands at the side of her lips as we screamed drawing attention to our group
" Bumien!!!!!"we said laughing so hard as bubbie's face turned red in embarrassment
"Abeg you people should bring down your voice " a short plumpy girl with Google glasses who's name is Esther says in annoyance as the girls mutters
"Sorry" while kemi ignores the girl as she continues to hail bubbie
"Bumien!!! Bumien!!!!" She says laughing so hard as we glare at her holding back the smirks trying to play on our faces
" that ship name is veeeeery weird "bubbie says at last
"But that guy has a lot of crushers ooh...can you handle them with your fine boo and plenty admirers? "Shola asked thoughtfully
" they should prepare to get crushed cause baby girl is going to take her stands with her boo and mehn no side chicks of any kind allowed "I state as kemi high five me and shola nods in agreement
"Well....we are not a couple yet sooo and besides he just wants to be friends"bubbie shrugs
"Friends with a quote...girl it's good to hope jare " shola says
"Anyway...Andrew called me during mid term" I blurt thoughtlessly
" Andrew?? Which Andrew "kemi asked blinking her eyelids thoughtfully
" which other Andrew do you know?"I asked raising one eyebrow at her
"Wait..oh the Andrew in a confused relationship "shola asked with a sneer
"Ah..ah omashola nawa for you " bubbie said slapping shola's arm playfully as I wince
"Ehn na that guy is really confused ooh sometimes I wonder how he landed himself the head boy ?"
"Isn't it obvious....the principal is no different " kemi answered with a sneer "can't you see that his dad is the of the owner of this school " she said as my eyes widened
"Are you serious?" I asked kemi curiously
"Of course na, that's why he has that audacity to date girls anyhow see him na fine guy plenty money plus plenty admirers mtcheew " she replied with a hiss as I huffed
" that's why Nigeria is as it is confused souls everywhere " bubbie said chuckling
"Btw, why did he call you? " Shola asked raising her eyebrows at me
" he....just....called anyway "I say stuttering trying to avoid spilling out anything thoughtlessly again e.g the Valentine date.
" why will he just call you like that? " Shola asked again
" can't he by the way? What's wrong there?" I asked her
" he doesn't talk to you....so?"
"......so whatever you're insinuating is absolutely your headache...last time i checked we and i mean Andrew and i are friends....JUST FRIENDS "I say with a note of finality
"Ah...chill baby icy jare....besides we too are also friends and its even supposed to be sisters before misters so I don't know why you're busy supporting the guy sef "bubbie replied
" or are you even sure he doesn't want to....you know? ...." kemi ask wriggling her eyebrows as I got up angrily about to leave the class when our economies teacher strolls in
" everyone settle down and tear out a sheet of paper...." he announces as we all grumbled I could hear tonye whisper behind me
"Bad timing!!!"

After our economies test, I had my head bent on my locker. the girls were right in questioning me and right now, i feel like a hypocrite...maybe that's more reason why I was angry besides about Andrew's Val date, i already made up my mind about what I'll do...
"Christy abeg gimme your pen, i'll give you back "shola asked....I didn't hear her, but I felt someone's presence around me but since i wasn't ready to lookup, I had just ignored the person.
" is she snubbing you?" I heard someone who's voice I recognised as shola's asked
"Maybe...she's just pissed off okay let's not disturb her abeg " bubbie spoke
" who's talking about disturbance here ? Infact I'm beginning to think that Andrew and Christy have...."
"Omashola please!!!! "Bubbie had cut her off " cool it joor...."
"But shola's Is right na..can't you see that she's vexing over small thing sef " kemi retorts
" Baby icy what's up with you joor? " bubbie called
" who is she icing for sef come Christiana if you don't look up I'll make sure you be buried with a plank as a souvenir "shola threatened lamely while kemi and bubbie chukuled and as you bet I rolled my eyes over and over again as I slowly brought my head up
" can you guys gimme some...."
"Abeg jare...lemme gist you something before you start acting like the world revovled around you...besides the kind guy in question sef is even trying to get back to his ex girlfriend so what then happens to Helen....mtcheew " she retorts cutting me off as bubbie rolls her eyes muttering shola's name
I was going to leave the class again totally ignoring shola who seemed so annoyed when tracy stood at the door of the class with arms akimbo
" Helena Jacobs " she called as everyone's attention snapped up at the both of them
" yes senior "
"Come with me please " she said not waiting for a reply as she quickly turned her back.the rest of us grew curious as to what they wanted to say including me who was suddenly one hell of curiosity as I quickly stood up immediately forgetting my beef with shola
" guys am coming " I said notifying them i'll be off when shola eyed me while bubbie kept huffing and kemi giving me thumbs up
" after you ooh!!!" She hailed mischeviously as obi purposely spanked her a note on her conrows
"Ouch!!!"she cried
"Why won't you be after your books " he sneered as she eyed him..if eyes can kill before turning back to me who was still trying to zip up my fly which was a little loose
" tap current I'm always here"she said smirking as i showed her my five fingers muttering waka there before walking away...
These days kemi had been hanging out with me and my best friends and frankly she wasn't as bad as i had thought she was....I brushed kemi off my mind remembering the mission I had assigned myself...as I trailed behind Helen...well you're free to call me a stalker but right now...I am after something sooo important to me and besides it's pretty good to be back to school.
