Wow!
Today was so fun.

"Why are you so happy?" Rose snapped.

"Why shouldn't I be happy?" I asked.

"After you almost killed us" she yelled at me

"Hey, almost as a key" I pointed out.

"You are unbelievable" she shook her head.

"A 'one of a kind babe!' right?" For some reason I was enjoying this.

"You two should stop arguing!" Vivian called.

You call that arguing? Wait till I am in my zone, then you will know what arguing means.

"We will be home soon. I want here to be quiet till then" Vivian said as she drove us back home.

She shouldn't be driving. She forgot to bring her glasses, forgot to wear her contact lens and the worst part of it was that it was dark. The moon had come to play but she had no choice. It is either she drives or I will. But from what we experienced earlier, I don't think I would be allowed to drive till I am forty.

The plan worked, only the front of the car was damaged. No injury found on anybody but me, a little mark on my forehead. We went to the hospital for check up just in case. Though that was the only place we went to today because of the long line of people that also came for check up. It was as if everybody just decided today was check up day.

I still loved it. I mean today was exciting and special. I will definitely tell my children about it but my sisters thought other wise, mainly Rose.

"When we get home you are so dead" Rose threatened.

"Rosy, I think I will be the one to tell mom and dad what happened not you, you will only make them mad" Vivian said.

"Yeah and she will even add lies too so that I am severely punished"

"Why shouldn't you be punished? If I were mom and dad, I would lock you in your room with no phone, TV or anything entertaining till you are...50.. No 500 years old" Rose roared.

"Wow! You are so overdramatic. I wonder how your children will survive with you"

"Enough we are home" Vivian exclaimed.

She parked the car and we went into the house to our various rooms. Vivian went straight to our parents' room to tell them what happened. I didn't feel afraid at all as long as Vivian is the one going to tell them, I am safe.

I entered my room, hopped on my bed and drifted to sleep. I felt extremely tried.

Can't wait to tell Chioma and Toni all about it.

                **********

Now this is right, prepared for school on a school day.

I thought as I looked at my driver zoom off. I quickly ran to my class and was welcomed in by most people.

"Hi, Susan"

"Sup Susan"

"Susan, how was your weekend?"

"Hey, Susan" 

"My babe, how are things going?"

I had to answer all of them so fast.

"Hi"

"Sup"

"Great and yours?"

"Hey"

"Going good, bro"

I had finally reached my seat but the greetings kept coming. Everyone greeted me except one person Tasha Obinna's twin sister. For some reasons, she hates me. Maybe it is because I am just too awesome.

*good me😇* 😒 oh pleeaasse!

*me😤* I told you to stop talking to me.

Sorry I have a very active imagination.

Chioma and Toni was already at my side, telling me about their weekend and all that but I blew their mind with mine.

"Right there at that moment, I wasn't scared at all. My sisters were begging me to save them. so I just agreed. I knew the damage wouldn't be much. I have done more daring stunts like that. I am not afraid death or getting hurt"

OK maybe I added a little lie or a lot of lies but they couldn't tell right.

"Wait, did all that really happened?" Chioma exclamined in disbelief. She examined me closely.

"Duh! How did I get this injury on my head?"

"There are plenty of ways. You could have gotten that but I will believe what you say....well not everything"

"Yeah you can't fool us easily" Toni added.

I guess I can't fool them easily.

It was break time and I was in the Principal's office. A very nice man! He was literally lecturing me on different topics, like why I shouldn't follow my classmates because they are an excuse for an ss3 class *burn*.

Why I should follow my dreams, work hard and blah blah blah but mostly I needed to focus on my maths because I was failing. Although I was very good at all the subjects, maths was always a problems. There are days when we are best friends and days when we are enemies and some days when we are frienemies.

God knew I would be so powerful, unstoppable and dangerous if I knew maths.

"Are you listening to me? Your maths scores are too low. You are always offing and oning. I am telling you this because we make students repeat classes if they do not pass English and maths and you also have serious exams since you are in ss3 which means waec, jamb and others so you need to study hard"

Study hard? Easy for you to say.

A knock was heard at the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened, revealing a familiar figure. He walked in and handed some papers to the principal who collected it and strolled through it.

"If you can't help yourself get a tutor" he carried on without looking up.

I kept looking directly at Charles. He was standing right next to my seat. Then he turned to me and waved with a heart warming smile. I smiled back. He looked sharp with what he wore.

"It's okay!" the principal handed the papers back and Charles left.

Wow.... That was so awkward and strange.

"Susan, where did your mind go to?"

"Sorry sir"

"Do you understand what I said?"

"Yes"

Nope!!!

I walked out of the office and shut the door behind me.

I don't want a tutor. I believe that wouldn't help me and if anybody offers I will say no!
No matter who the person is even if it is Einstein himself.

I was brought back to reality when I saw Charles leaning on the wall at the stairs with his eyes on his phone.

Okay! I am nervous.......This is the plan, just pass and pretend you didn't see him. If he talks to you just say you are in a hurry to go somewhere.

I walked down the stairs. When I was so close to him, I eliminated the plan.

"Sup Charles! How are you?" I hopped near him. He lifted his eyes from his phone and gave me a smile.

"I am fine and you?"

"Great...I think" I pretended to be deep in thought.

I know this isn't exactly the plan. The other plan failed so I had to compromise (aside) even though I didn't try if it would work.

"What happened to your head?"

"Oh! This? It's nothing. I just had a super awesome car accident on Saturday"

"Super? Awesome? Accident?" He looked more confused then my friends when I said that to them.

"I can tell you all about it"

With lies attached to it.

"OK but before that, I heard you need a tutor"

"Yeah! Maths problems"

"I am tutoring my cousin maths and English too. You two are in the same class, would you like to be tutored as well?" He uttered, rubbing his neck.

Is he nervous? Awwn! That would be so cute but it's hard to tell when he is always smiling. Stop smiling, stupid. I can't see other hidden emotions.

"Yes, I would love a tutor right now. I was just thinking about it and I have decided the only thing I needed to help me was a tutor. I concluded that even if it was Einstein, I would gladly accept"

*coughs* 😶

"Okay! I normally teach at home but since you accepted I will teach the both of you at school...correction after school in the school's computer lab"

"Would the principal agree?"

"He can't say no to me"

"Why not "

"Can't tell you!"

"Awwn! Why?"

"I am not sure if telling you the secret would be a good idea. Maybe later! After I am convinced you can keep a secret"

"I can definitely keep a secret. The SS classes always bring their phones to school even though it is against the rule and I was told never to tell a teacher and I haven't"

He laughed so hard then when he was done. He stood up straight.

"You know I am a teacher right?"

"Teacher?..... Ohhhh! Oops!" I laughed nervously.

If the classes finds out I told on them, I am going to be #hastag! The worst classmate ever.
 
"You wouldn't report, would you?" I fretted.

"No! I will just pretend I didn't hear that" his fingers ran down his black hair and he winked.

"Thanks! You are the best"

"You now owe me two things".

"Oh, right!"

The bell rang.

"I have a class now. Remember! After school, computer lab straight" he said as he headed upstairs.

"Wait, we are starting today?"

"Yes! The earlier the better! Time waits for no man"

He ran upstair and I yelled back, "Except for me!"

Hmm...wow! Time to do my happy dance.

I danced all the way to my class and practically danced through out...

in my mind of course!

This month is on fire. First, I almost got seriously hospitalized and now I have a great half true story to tell my children. When I'm married with kids, I will sit them down and be like, 'Mama did this in her days!' Secondly, I am going to be tutored by Mr I-am-too-handsome dude. Can life get anymore exciting than this?
