That's what Tony looks like, also I've included images in the cast so you can quickly go back and check them out.

"It's about time. You're going to walk in through those doors, you'll hold your head up high. Anyone say crappy stuff? You ignore them. Don't let their insults get to you. You'll be smarter, you'll focus yo--"

"Are you talking to yourself?" Temi asked coming into my room. I jumped, startled and turned away from the mirror, knotting my tie. I adjusted my skirt and walked to the bed. "I guess so. I mean we all do that once a new session is about to begin" I shrugged.

I grabbed my jordans space jams and turned it over before wearing it. "Shouldn't you be talking to yourself? You're going to be in SS1. You should be calming yourself down"

"I'm not a psycho. Like you" she said rolling her eyes. I hissed at her and got my tablet from where it was charging. "Have you gotten your tab?" I asked her, putting my tab in my back pack before picking up my Nike customized bag.

"Nah. I'm getting it today" she said "come down for breakfast, mum and dad are calling you" and then she closed the door. I switched off my phone and threw it in one of the drawers in the dresser. I then walked out of the room and closed the door behind me.

"Hey Dad, Hey mom" I said kissing then both on the cheek. I sat down and prayed before eating. "You seem happy today?" Mum asked.

I swallowed the sausage I was chewing on "Trust  me, I'm nervous. Have to speak with Yimika and Daniel" I sighed.

Yes, Yes and Yes. I have to speak with them. I hadn't even seen them the whole of summer. Either they were avoiding me or we didn't just cross paths. Personally I feel like Yimika was just being stupid and Daniel was being a Coward.

After breakfast, the driver came and picked us and then stopped in front of the school. We came down and just like before, everyone started whispering, some said hi, hello, hey. Some hugged me and then spoke with Temi for some time.

We both walked to the Admin, got her class, table, books and then we headed to her class. I got some juniors to help us carry some stuff. Once we got to her class, I wished her good-luck even though I was the one who clearly needed it.

"Daniel" I said once I got to the class and settled down. He jerked at my touch and then turned to face me. "Oh..Uh...H-Hey ... What's up?" he stuttered. 

"You're a Coward" I spat. He looked taken aback but I didn't stop there "why wouldn't you talk to me? Why did you ignore me huh?! I texted called, Sent voice mails and you saw everyone of them but you decided to ignore me. Right?!"

By now everyone crowded around us. "calm down let me ex-" He began but I cut him off. "no! I'm not calming down anything. You! You take a chill pill. You're so annoying!"

"When couples fight" someone screamed and everyone cheered in agreement. I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down but it wasn't working

that's it!

I turned and stormed out of the class and ran to the bathroom. I'm done! Just as I was entering the bathroom, the door opened and Yimika walked out. She saw me and glared before turning to walk away, but I quickly grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the bathroom with me as I closed the door and locked it.

"Let. Me. Go!" She yelled, struggling against my grip. I held her tighter as I glared right back at her.

"You better stay still because I won't hesitate to slap you Yimika, if you try nonsense with me and I mean it!" I growled. She paused for a moment before she continued struggling.

I slapped her across the head and she mumbled ow and then slumped against the wall. A sign of defeat. "Want to rub how well you're going with Daniel? Go ahead" she said through gritted teeth .

"So this is all about Daniel huh?! I knew there was something wrong with you guys all along. You've always had a crush on him haven't you?"

"Oh shut up" She whisper-yelled as she covered my mouth with her hands. "Someone would hear you"

I laughed.

"Can you not laugh at this moment?" She asked, narrowing her eyes. I cleared my throat and stood up straight "Right...Sorry"

She nodded

"So..like I was saying. Was Daniel the problem. Why you won't talk to me. Because you felt I was stealing him?" I asked. She shook her head "I didn't feel it, I know it. You. Stole. His. Heart. Have you noticed the way he looks at you?"

I was confused and couldn't say anything.

She let out a bitter laugh.

"of course you haven't. You have always been stupid you know? Al--"

"Hey hey! Don't come and insult me here oh! For your information I don't have any feeling towards Daniel. He's like my best friend, he--"

"And you're just going to break his heart like that. Friend zoning the poor guy" She hissed.

Is this girl mad?!

"So what do you want me to do?! Hug a transformer while waiting to die?!"

"yes! Actually that would be better! But I'm saying that..you stole his heart and you just want to break it!"

"Your point?"

"My point is.. Maybe you should em...you sh--"

"Yimika you're not making any point at all. You're forgetting that you're the one crushing on him not me and you're telling me I stole his heart. So what should I do? Date him, kiss him, have children by him why you just stand there being a stupid loner?!"

I took a deep breath and continued. "You're not making any sense at all. You said I'm with his heart apparently, and I'm leading him on basically, and I'm breaking his heart. Lemme ask you one thing. Should I date him?!"

she hung her head. "I don't think so" she whispered.

"Because?"

She looked at me and then glared "you sha want me to say it with my mouth that I like him abi?" I laughed and then after a while she began to laugh.

"Trust me, I'm not taking your Daniel."

She was clearly blushing.

"But-- I'm sorry. What I did was uncalled for. The shouting, insults, cold shoulders. I'm sorry" she apologized. I hugged her and she returned it. "You owe me your Friday chicken. If you want my forgiveness that is"

She laughed "WEREY! You can keep your forgiveness "

We laughed again.

"we need to catch up" I said.

"We'll meet after school at your house?" She asked and i nodded.

It was in sixth period that I got a big shock.

"good morning!" The head teacher returned our greetings as we sat back down. "Today we have a new student joining us!" they all cheered , some people whispering. "It's high time anyways. I mean.. This set is getting boring" I hear Yimika mutter.

I nodded in agreement before turning back to the principal.

"Welcome..Tony Bassey!"

I couldn't believe my ears but when I looked at the new guy, he confirmed my suspicions.
