Today is going to be the last practice
because Friday is the main event, soEveryone wants to give their all today to make sure their names are in the final list.House masters were demanding perfection from their students as they bark orders at them, from the sidelines...
“ JAMES!!!!!! Pass the ball quick,
OLAMIDE!!!!! Run faster CHRIS!!!!! Don't dribble much, fire your shot! " Mr President kept yelling from the touchline.You could tell Mr President wanted to win this competition, at first I didn't know why he was getting all worked up about it until then when I heard that the winning house is collecting
1million naira as their prize, I started to share his attitude. This was the first time money was involved iMy phone kept ringing, Sandra must have been worried about me cus I am nowhere in the school compound. If only she could see where I was she would hate me for sure. I thought of ignoring her calls but that would only make things worse...“Who is that?" Miss Esther asked.“It's Sandra," I replied.“Ohhh, she must be worriedabout you, right?"“Yeah she must. I didn't inform her I was leaving school. I am sorry, I have to pick this call."“Sure, of course. Go on," she said.“Thank you."I excused myself from Miss Esther, and walked a few steps away to answer Sandra's call...“Hello Love," I said as I picked the call.“Babe where are you? I have been searching the whole school for you." She said soundingworried.“I..I am so sorry love, I should have told you." I said in a regretful manner.“Told me what? Is everything alright? W
It was as if the world had stopped rotating and time had frozen, as if it took forever before I could turn my neck to check who had Seen me and Sandra, many thoughts came to my mind in a flash but I fear most, that it should not be Mr President Sandra facing the direction of the door had seen the person already and as I looked at her face I saw fear and shock as she stared at the person standing.I finally turned around look and behold I saw EMEKA standing with his phone pointing at us he had taking pictures of I and Sandra kissing, the expression on his face is like that of a hunter who have just caught a large game, my heart beat was raising really fast cus I know what Emeka can do, especially now that he has evidence.“So this is what you guys have been doing in school, you have been banging the teacher's daughter." Emeka said.“Nobody was banging anyone here," Sandra said.“Will you shut up! Ain't you ashamed of yourself?
All eyes were fixed on I and Sandra, as students were trying to figure out why miss Esther had called us out, I could hear them whispering things to themselves, I could see Emeka smile as he was also telling his friends something which also made them laugh as they looked at our direction, I could only guess he had told them about what happened.All the teachers were also confused about the sudden assembly that Miss Esther had called for, as they all gather to hear what she had to say, I saw Mr President face changed when Miss Esther called out his daughter, he must have wondered what had happened, to make his daughter to be standing in front of the assembly….“Listen everyone, today I heard some news that I just have to share with you all."Miss Esther announced then glanced at me.I am sure she could see the fear in me, my feet were finding it hard to support my body weight as I almost fell down.She continued, ”Chris and Sa
4:00 pm and the bell rang for closing time, we sluggishly went to a tap to wash ourselves for those who were involved in the sporting events. I was waiting for my turn to wash myself, the boys were discussing out loud how they had enjoyed today practice as they bragged about themselves, I had a smile on my face through out there conservation which makes them believe I was enjoying what they have been saying, but I was really happy because miss Esther had saved me from embarrassment and much more because I would be the topic of today.Some SS1 and 2 girls came to the tap pretending as if they wanted to wash themselves clean, but they were really looking to get the attention of the boys, which worked out for them, as they began splashing water on themselves, boysgrabbing whatever can be grabbed as the girls ran while the boys chased. I also received some splashing of water eventhough I am not part of the silly game. I had to run for cover.Cle
Seeing Miss Esther text brought me mixed feelings, what does she mean by it's time to pay, I was worried but also excited to know what she meant, I took my phone and texted her back ***What's the price***I got a reply saying, *** come outside***Holy shit! She is outside my house, so I quickly showered and dressed up. Then I came outside but I didn't see Miss Esther.Is she joking or what? Just then my phone rang,It was her calling, I smiled as I picked the call.“Hello babe."“Hello sweetie." She replied.“I am cool. What's up with the game of hide and seek? where are you?" She giggled.“I can see you but you can't see me."I quickly turned around to check where she might be calling from but no sign of her anywhere.“Really you can see me? What colo
There was a sense of excitement in the air, today is the day we all have been waiting for. Wednesday and Thursday had passed, and with each passing day the more excited I became, we did some sports activities during these days like long jump and high jump. Football was also played as YELLOW HOUSE and RED HOUSE advanced to the final which is to be played on the main inter house sport on Friday.YELLOW HOUSE currently lies second while RED HOUSE is topping the table, but I haven't lost hope yet as there remains Racing, March pass and football final to be done before they can know the final winner.But I know it won't be easy especially when Emeka is in the team of red house, I should be very careful playing I don't want to end up with one leg. Mr President had finallychoose who will be the king and queen of YELLOW HOUSE obviously his daughter Sandra was the queen but when it came to picking the boy for the king he reluctantly announced the name, and I heard my name c
10:30am the Event is about to start, the Principal had taken his seat in the high table with some special guests you will know they are people of high profile even without knowing them personally with the way they are dressed and the kind of BEAST that drove them here, Emeka father was also one of the guest on the high table as he was barking orders to his boys only God knows what he was telling them.The DJ has been busting some hot jams, as he kept on switching from one hit song to the other, I was nodding my head to the beat of the songs.Damm this DJ is Good!Finally the time is now 11:00am and Miss Esther took center stage as she is about starting the program. Typical African time...“Good morning, to you all ladies and gentlemen, mummies and daddies. My Name is Miss Silver Esther and I would like to welcome you all to BRILLIANT INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF SCHOOLS INTER HOUSE SPORT." Miss Esther said.To start I will lik
Everyone in the crowd was amazed by the fact that Yellow House came second to Red House in the march pass. Some of them gave there sign of frustration at the judges by booing at them, I couldn't believe that we didn't score higher than red house, I looked at the scoreboard red house had 45 points in total,blue house had 32 points, green house had 24 points and yellow house have 41 points in total.If we win the final match we will gap red house with one point, but it's not an easy task, as Red house is blessed with talented footballers who could change the course of the game in no time also they play the game as if there life's depends on winning each match which leads them to make dangerous tackles, I can still remember what they did to a player of GreenHouse, it was by God's grace he was able to walk again.Another fact is that Yellow House doesn't really have many talented players, I am the only skillful player in Yellow House, the rest are just discipli
