"That's all for today, see you at our next class" Mrs Joy rounded up picking up her textbook from Kunle's locker.

As soon as she walked out of the class erupted in sighs of relief and murmurs, it seems like no one wanted to her her stupid "when I was your age" talk.

We knew she was different while she was our age, you could tell from her deeper life dressing and turban that was always wrapped around her head (No offence to all deeper life members out there)

But spare us that talk, this is the 21st century for crying out loud and we don't wanna hear how she didn't know the meaning of the word kiss till she entered the university and moreover she was paid to teach us not to tell us the story of her boring life, a story I knew by heart because she doesn't fail to recite it every chance she gets.

I turned to the last page of my English notebook, well that was where I wrote my timetable and found out we were at the last period already which is always free.
And I knew I had something to do last period but I couldn't quite place it, I decided to ask Chichi what it was only to find out she was nowhere near me likewise Ray and Funke.

Then I remembered, The singing rehearsals! Are they that eager to sing that they couldn't wait for someone?.

There are doing their own now abi? Izzorai one day it'll be their turn.

I quickly packed my book in my bag and ran outside.

The sun almost blinded my eyes and I used my hands to cover it, it took a while for my eyes to get accustomed to the unusual brightness of the sun.

I spotted Daniel talking with someone I had to squint my eyes trying to identify the person but all to no avail.

I guess he's new or a senior because I don't think I've seen him anywhere before.

But God, how can someone be that handsome? Or am I daydreaming.

I kept on staring at him with a dreamy look from his perfectly styled dark hair to his chocolate brown eyes and pink pouty lips, it was like God took time to create that beautiful piece of art, it was like he belonged in a fashion magazine.

Not to talk of his charisma and that confident aura around him, he walked with swagger as if he owned the world.

  I snapped out of my reverie when I bumped into someone, I turned to apologize when he started yelling.

"Are you blind or what? Can't you watch where you are going"

Students by the hallway had stopped whatever they were doing or going choosing not to mind their business. All thoughts about apologizing flew of the window.

"Wait! It's not like I'm the only one at fault here, if you had watched where you were going and was not engrossed in that phone you were holding, maybe I wouldn't bumped into you in the first place" I said with an eye roll, gasps were heard across the hallway, it was like they didn't expect me to reply and he even looked taken aback for a second which almost made me smirk, keyword almost. If they thought I'd turn into a blushing mess while apologizing frantically because I bumped into the almighty Joe White, then they were wrong.

"Look who's talking, maybe if you weren't drooling over a guy maybe you wouldn't have bumped into me, how about that" He said a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

What the hell!

To say I was flushed was an understatement, Not to talk about the whispers and glares I was receiving from the female population.

"What now! Cat got your tongue? So the almighty Bri has nothing to say" He with a smug smile.

It was like my word vocabulary went blank cause I searched my head for something to say but to my utter disappointment I couldn't find the right word.

"You know what just close your mouth, flies might get in" He smirked before sauntering off leaving me in an extremely embarrassed state.

"The rate at which these desperate girls bump into Joe White just to gain his attention is alarming"

"And to think that just she was drooling at another boy just now"

"She's nothing but an innocent faced slut"

Two girls whispered loudly and I think purposely because they both flared at me before sashaying off.

I glared at the girls that stood looking at me with a disgusted expression before stomping off to the music lab, I found Ray on the
makeshift stage singing Rude boy's reason with me

🎵If money no dey na wetin she gain oh
She tell me say she go run away
She go run very far away
As the raba don dey, the baby come dey mellow
See the baby don come again
She don forget back in the days

I dey beg make you try reason with me...🎵

I admit it that he had a very nice voice cause Funke and Chichi were so engrossed in watching him that they didn't notice me enter

"So this is the practice abi?" I snapped crossing my hands across my chest, I know I was transferring aggression but I don't care.

Ray looked startled before smiling sheepishly and dropping the microphone that wasn't even working in the first place.

"Ah ahn, are you angry with us?" Chichi asked.

"Why won't I be angry ehn, when you all left me in the class" I said glaring at them accusingly.

"But we were waiting for you nau" Funke pouted.

"Where?"

"Here nau" they responded simultaneously.

"Okay let's get this over with now"

*****

 I got down from the car but not without glaring at the driver that kidnapped me, I wanted to walk home with Chichi and Ray as usual before he showed up and spoilt my perfect plans.

I stomped into the house pulling off my tie, I was about climbing the stairs when my eyes caught something on the coffee table, it was the money Aunty Amanda kept for me to go to the market because the list of what I was to get was beside it.

I picked it up before heading upstairs, I pried open the door slamming it shut behind me.

I kicked of my shoes and socks flinging it to God knows where and threw my bag on the bed before flopping unto it.

Yeah! I get it, I'm that disorganized.

After staring at the ceiling for what seemed like hours, I lifted my self off the bed lazily remembering I was still in my uniform and still had to get to the market.

I changed into a white and black stripped shirt and blue skinny jeans before running a small comb through my hair, I stared at my reflection in my full length mirror smiling and posing as if I were in front of the camera.

I made a few funny faces and poses at the mirror before picking up the money and piece of paper and stuffing in my jean pocket.

I sighed wishing I still had my headphone.

I heard the doorbell ring, so I dashed down the stairs while shouting 'I'm coming', I pried the door open thinking it was a visitor or one of Arabella friends but I didn't think It'll be Funke.

"Funke?"

"Stop acting as if you saw a ghost, won't you invite me in?" She asked with an eye roll.

"There's no need for that, I'm actually going to the market now so let me lock up let's go together"

"Okay, but be fast about that"
She replied before leaning on the wall to wait for me.

I ran upstairs with a wide grin, I stared at my shoes for a while before slipping my legs into a pair of flats and locking up.

Funke was on a video call with someone.

"Funke I'm going oh" I told her.

"Who's that?" I asked peeping to see who she's talking with but unfortunately she caught me giving me a smack on my head.

"Ouch" I exclaimed rubbing my head where she hit me while Chichi and Funke laughed at me.

I glared at Funke before moving to talk with Chichi.

"Funke let's be going oh, time has already gone"

"Wait! How many of you people are even going sef?" Chichi asked.

See English oh! How many of you people

"We are twice of us" I answered her immediately

"Jezzus! Who is your English teacher?" Chichi exclaimed putting her hand on her head.

"The same English teacher of both of us" I replied smiling.

Funke burst into uncontrollable laughter while I pouted

"Are you laughing me?"

She doubled over clutching her stomach with her free hand while Chichi was busy wiping her nonexistent tears.

I joined them to laugh at myself.

Woah! That's nice, laughing at myself

"So you have watched that comedy skit?" Funke asked after her laughter had calmed down to which I nodded in affirmative.

"A little twice of us" I said with a straight face and mock serious look which made them burst into another round of laughter.

I sent Funke a playful glare

"Lemme come and be going before this girl will kill me" Chichi said.

"Alright take care! I love you" Funke said

"I love you too" chichi replied with a kissing sound.

"Ehen ehn, so it like that abi? You now forgot me ba?" I asked her pretending yo be angry.

"Ahn ahn, how will I forget you? You know say you be my bestie nau," she said but I still glared at her.

"okay.. I love you" she said blowing me a kiss.

"Now you're talking, I love you too, take care of your self! I know some people will be jealous now" I said eyeing Funke.

"Who is jealous?"

"Ask me again!"

"You are not serious, abeg comot from my front make I pass jare"
