Saturday went very fast, I played football with my guys, talked about girls and other stuff before I knew it, it was Sunday already. I went to church, came back. Slept and woke up around 9:45pm because I remembered there was one movie I wanted to watch. My friends have been talking a lot about the movie called AVENGERS and I want to see what the fuss was all about.
Sliding the DVD disc into the DVD player and it started playing.
I lay down on the couch comfortably watching the intriguing actions that were taking place in the movie. The movie was quite interesting and before I knew it, it was already 12:00AM.
Jesus!!! I exclaimed.
When will you learn Chris, I said to myself, if I arrive late to school
again Mr President will surely kill me. I don't want that besides I think it's time someone else starts to cry, and that should be his daughter. I quickly turned off the TV and set my wall clock alarm to 5:AM, the same as my phone alarm and went to bed.....Monday morning and I was up early today, thanks to the alarm clock
Today is going to be a good day. I said to myself as I took my breakfast. I was in luck as my mum was on morning shift today so she dropped me off at school.“ Thanks mum, bye. " I greeted goodbye.
“ Bye dear. Eat well. Don't be saving your money to give to girls."
“ Mum! "
I felt embarrassed, hope nobody heard that, I quickly urge my mum to leave quickly and she did I checked my wrist watch and the time says 7:13AM, I am super early today, but to my surprise I was not the only one who had arrived early, almost all the students were present in the school compound.Is either these guys past the night here in school or all of them are some sort of witches and wizards and they magically transported themselves to school cause, how did they all get to school so early???
I went to meet my classmates.
“ Chris, This one that you came early today? " John said mockingly.
“ You ain't serious. Don't I used to come early, before?"
All my classmates that were present there laughed together at my statement, I even joined in the laughter.. Before I knew it, it's already time for the morning assembly........
Our principal called up Mr President to the podium for an announcement and on seeing him my face changed from a happy one to a frown.
“ Hello students....... Some of you may have heard that my daughter is going to be attending, Brilliant International Group of schools with us. I would like to inform you all that she is right here with us. Would you like for me to bring her up? " Mr President spoke with such pride and once he was done all the students chorused a loud.
” Yes!"
“ Sandra dear, please come up. " He called out to his daughter to the stands like she was one Queen or Princess and up came a girl.
I struggled at first to see her face from the crowd of students but eventually I did when she was up at the podium...
And to my greatest surprise she was stunning, like really pretty. A beautiful, tall, light skin girl.
Her shape reminds me of a certain Nicky Minaj. My jaws dropped and my mouth wide opened. Then I thought, how can a man as evil and cruel as Mr President give birth to a beautiful angel like this girl?
Oh my! Such beauty!
“ This is my daughter, Sandra. She will be starting with us in SS2 class and I would like you guys to make her feel welcome, especially her classmates. Will you do that? "
We all chorused “ YES SIR! " Except me, my eyes were just fixed on his daughter's rare beauty...
The Morning Assembly came to an end and we all went to our various classes.
“ Chris, how far? Are you sure you can still have your pay back on that girl? She is really pretty." Ayo said as he came to meet me.
“ I am not seeing beauty, all I see is revenge. I will frustrate her and make her regret moving to Brilliant High but first I need to be her friend, so she can fully trust me. " I lied.
“ Ahhh! Can't you forgive and forget?"
“ Did her cruel father forgive me when I begged him to? No he didn't, he flogged me even though I was soaked and made me cry like a girl. Do you know how painful it is to be flogged when one is drenched in water??..."
We continued our conversation AYo
believing I wanted to harm Sandra but I didn't know what I wanted to do just yet. I am still angry at her fatherbut also amazed at her beauty. I keptlooking at her from my seat.She is really dashing! However I noticed she doesn't look really happy, and that made me curious. What could possibly be the matter?
I stood to meet her but before I could
someone beat me to it...Emeka (aka Koko master) at least that's what he calls himself.I and Emeka don't really get along well, in fact I think we dislike each other. He always finds a way to turn everything into a competition.
You remember Jessica right? The pretty girl in my class. Emeka
is the reason I stopped liking her. Well that's a story for another day though..I sat back on my seat, watching how Emeka was conversing with her. I know he will be telling her lots of things about himself, like how his father is a senator and how rich they are. He does like to brag about himself a lot.
However Sandra's facial expression seemed as if she was irritated at their conversation. So I had to be superman and save the day. I went to meet them.
“ Hello Sandra. " I greeted her.
She looked shocked and surprised that I addressed her directly by her name.
“ How do you know my name?" She asked and I decided to pull her legs.
“ Don't you remember me?" I teased her, putting on a serious face like I really do know her from somewhere before.
“ S..Sorry, I can't really remember. "
I could see Sandra was trying to figure out where she knew me from, and I was enjoying the fact that she was trying her best to remember someone she did not know. But I had to put her out of her misery.
I laughed softly.
“ The truth is you don't know me nor do I. Your dad announced your name out loud in the assembly ground. That's how I know your name. Sorry about that. "
She laughed out softly and I thought she had one of the sweetest laughter ever.
“ That's true, sorry about the drama my dad did this morning, I told him not to, but he never listens."
“ Yeah I know that feeling, but parents would be parents. Always annoying right?" I said and she laughed some more causing me to smile.
“ By the way my name is Chris." I introduced myself with a stretched out arm.
“ Nice meeting you Chris, I am Sandra." She smiled, taking hold of my hand in a handshake.
Up this close I could see how incredibly beautiful she is. She had that smile that could melt a rock and I think it just melted my heart completely...
While all this was happening Emaka just stood looking at us like a tree but without paying attention to him I and Sandra continued our discussion...
“ Chris, I don't like this side where I am seated. Please can I sit with you in your seat? If you don't mind of course. "
A soft smile touched my lips.
“ Sure I would love that."
We both smiled and then stood up, motioning to my bench.
We both left for my seat, leaving Emeka hanging there, looking all hopeless and shocked as how I just came and took the girl he was trying to impress and woo.I would pay a million dollars to see the face Emeka made in a permanent portrait hang on my wall. it was just so priceless really but I am pretty sure he will not give up so easily. As I said earlier he is very competitive especially when it comes to girls, he always have this saying’ Every girl has a price, and he is every girl's dream. 'What a guy! So full of himself.“ So why did you leave your former school, didn't you like it there? " I asked her once we were seated.“ I
After having that weird conversation with Ayo I went back to my seat to meet Sandra.How can I possibly hurt someone as beautiful and lovely like Sandra, it's been more than a day but it feels as if I had known her my whole life, I could tell she had 5 smiles.1when she is smiling normally.2When she is smiling, something slyly just happened.
Tuesday morning.There was something about this morning the sky is not as bright as it should be this should be 6:00 am but everywhere is still dark, I check outside my window and outside was just as dark as the inside, I quickly turned on the lights in my room to check what's say the time on the wall clock.... But to my surprise it was only 1:00 am!I haven't slept at all, how could I sleep? when I was having nightmares about Sandra.There was one where she was flogging me with her father's cane. Mehn that was horrible, there is no way I can sleep again. I have to just stay awake till 6 am before taking my bath....The time passed slowly but finally it was 6 AM, I quickly went to take my shower, had breakfast and then rushed off to school.Due to hectic traffic on the road I didn't reach school on time I barely made it for assembly, I kept wishing no one had told Sandra any thing, when I finally got to school the prefects had already arranged stud
The principal could not believe what he was hearing, his face was that of disgust and fright as he was trying to take in what Emeka just said.I on the other hand was prepared to defend myself from such despicable accusations, I won't let Emeka ruin my life with his evil lies, because of this unhealthy jealousy he has for me.Emeka had always been jealous of me since I could remember. It started when we were both in junior secondary school (jss). Back then Emeka was like the king of the school, he was rich, handsome and was good at football, he had many friends and the girls were always flocking around him but his fame didn't last long because due to the crisis in the North (Boko Haram) my parents had to relocate, leaving their business and everything they had.We moved down to the West to live in Lagos. Life wasn't really easy at first as my family had lost a lot of money because everything we had was in the North but later on both my parents got a job al
I got home that day, told my parents what happened. I must admit it was not easy telling them, especially when I had to tell them I have been suspended from school for 2 weeks and that the principal had asked for one of their presence in school.My Mom was just so angry and disappointed,shouting and cursing Emeka. You know how mother's used to behave, while my father was as calm as calm can be, he didn't say more than what was necessary, he asked when he needed to be present in school and gave me some advice on life Matters...TWO DAYS have passed since I was suspended. My parents and I had gone to meet with the principal, and I was fined 30,000 naira for fighting and disturbing the peace of the school. I told you my principal knows how to get money involved in everything, yeah such an opportunist.My dad paid the fine and we both headed home.. However, on our way out of the school compound, a Range Rover Sport 2022 model was just making its way into the s
“Ahhhhhh!!!" That was the sound I made while forcing myself to get out of bed for two weeks now I have been waking up any time I please, the earliest was around 10:00 AM but now I had to force myself to wake up around 6 AM, some part of me wished the suspension continued, but it was for the best it ended, because I was eager to see Sandra and explain myself to her regardless of what her father had said earlier. She must have calmed down by now, she would listen to me I guess.I sluggishly took my bath and fixed a quick breakfast before I took off to school....Arriving at the school gate.“Ahh," I took a deep breath wondering what awaits me at the other side of the gate.Has my name been cleared? Or have they added more lies to my head? All these questions kept entering my head as I opened the gate and went in.I noticed people were talking about me as soon as I walked by them, I tried to pretend as if I wasn't hearing or seeing t
When we arrived at the hospital we went straight to the ward where Ayo was being treated. His mum was there with him and I heard she had not left her son's side since the day he was admitted to the hospital.Ayo lay unconscious in the bed, only still living because of the mechanical oxygen being passed through his nose by a machine. It was horrible, I didn't know when tears started licking from my eyes. I felt really pity for Ayo but more for his mother. It's never easy for a mother to see her son lying in a sick bed almost lifeless without being able to do anything to help him.On seeing us Ayo's mom was happy, she told Ayo that visitors are here to see him, that his best friend, who is me, is here to see him as if Ayo was able to see or hear anything she was saying.However I do admire her optimistic spirit, she still believes her son can still pull through from this and I want to share that belief as well.."It's nice you came to check on my son,
In my room reflecting on what happened today, having mixed feelings of joy and sadness. Joy because I have patched things up between myself and Sandra but sadness because of the state in which Ayo was in.I wonder if I will ever hear his voice again, then the thought of me and Sandra almost kissing came to my mind like a flash which made me smile in the midst of my sadness.“Miss Esther just spoiled the show."I said out loud to myself.I wondered what Sandra's lips would taste like? I closed my eyes and started to visualize I was holding Sandra in my arms and about to give her a kiss....Knock!!knock!!What the FUCK! I can't even kiss her in my own imagination without being interrupted!“Who is that!!!!" I said in a frown.“It's me," I heard Felicia voice say.What can this girl possibly want? I wondered. Guess I will have to find out.“Come in, the door isn't locked."Felicia walked
