At last my people, Mr Ade has thrown away that jealousy spirit of his. Our sturdy principal has made a change. For years, he had hired male teachers who had looks scarier than a bulldog. He went for the ones with stern look but today's teacher looks extremely different.

Different, in a good way! His look has brought drama to the staff room.

So I clapped harder. "Nice!" I smiled. Handsome man oo!! See that broad nose! see rich brown skin! This one na Naija dude oo! Oh, clap na!

His rich brown skin shone under the light yellow rays of the sun. A prominent jaw curved gracefully around his face and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscles that shaped his entire body; strong arms, bold thighs and calves, a firm chest and a broad abdomen. He looked like a melanin god. All of his great facial features was framed by thick, warm dark chocolate curls. Haba! Who born this pikin!

Like I expected, female teachers swooned over his looks. This is the best part! Now, we are gonna watch single female teachers do shakara to impress him.

Mrs Bridget was at the point of flogging a boy when the new teacher, Mr Steven spoke. She hung the cane on the air and stared at him with mouth as wide as rim of a mug. She is single and I know she was mesmerized by his beauty. Her lashes fluttered at him. She wasn't the only one staring because...

All the single ladies! All the single ladies! All the single ladies! Do you know that song?

Well, actually, all the single ladies were also drooling. I can't wait to get to class. I want to do some award-winning amebo section!

"Okay, our head girl has an announcement!" Mr Ade roared. Anita walked up the podium. She cleared her throat and took the microphone.

"Good morning students!" she greeted.

"Good morning senior" the juniors' voice overpowered the weak reply from the seniors.

"Our school has been invited to some inter-school competitions. They want us join them as they celebrate their students' week occasion" Anita spoke like she had crammed the whole words. Her eyes were fixed in the air, staring at no one.

"Competitons like Maths and English quiz, debates, sporty activities, spelling drill.... Um... " she paused and blinked her eyes. Now, her eyes rested on the students. A new confidence crawled into her.

"If you are interested in representing your school in any of the activities, please meet any prefect to sign you in. Thank you" she nodded and handed the microphone to Mr Ade.

"Okay! Marching song!" he instructed. A junior started a chorus and we all marched to class.

I strode towards my class. I can't miss that award-winning amebo section. I got to class in the nick of time as the girls were gathered into a circle. I dashed and got myself entangled in the group.

"Did you see that man?" Regina exclaimed. She stroke a pose at the middle of the circle. She was the ring leaders of the group. One could tell.

"Duh! How can I not see him? Am I blind?" Onyinye, one of Regina's entourage. Everyone murmured in agreement.

"That man is handsome eh! " Peggy chirped.

"See, aswear! All those single teachers will go and change their wardrobe" Regina jeered.

"They would never repeat dress," Ijeoma chimed.

My mouth is scratching me to talk. "Drama will take place in the staff room," I exclaimed.

Everyone laughed and replied with "Asin eh!", "Abi oo! ", "Aswear!" and  "You get am!".

"You know that annoy woman... " Grace said but was interrupted by Peggy who asked, "Who?"

"Miss Helen na!" Grace hissed. "She thinks she is the finest teacher just because her hip is the broadest. Let's see how it would go this time for her".

"It no go work this time jor!" Regina yelled. "Mr Steven looks like a man that wants correct babe!".

"Who vote for Miss Bridget to date him?" I threw the question to them. They all thrust their forefinger to the air.

"Abeg! That woman fine jor," Ijeoma beamed.

We all love Miss Bridget. She is a caring teacher. She might be demanding but she understands us, students. She even goes far to fight Mr Ade for us to have fun parties. Last year, Mr Ade announced that there would be no Christmas party. Mrs Bridget had challenged him till he changed his mind. Her personality is sweet. I really wonder why she is not married yet. Or are they following her from village! All this juju people!

"If she even ends up with him, I will be happy" Grace sneered.

"Why do you hate Miss Helen?" Ijeoma asked.

"She doesn't use to mind her business. That's why!" Grace rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Her amebo don pass be careful" Regina snarled. "She said she would report to my parents that I have a boyfriend, I want to see her try".

"Anyhow sha! I just want to say that Mr Steven is hot," Onyinye shrugged.

"And that's why I am going to win him over with my charm" Regina leered

"Which charm abeg?" Peggy jested.

"My beauty, stupid!"

"Why?"

"Cos I need an ATM machine" Regina answered in a matter-of-fact tone.

"What about your boyfriend?"

"Which one?"

Everyone exclaimed. Everyone reacted to this. Some shook their head, some set slammed their hands on the table and others placed their two hands on their head.

"Regina, how many do you have?" Debra, another classmate of mine asked.

"Mtchew! Abegi! Lemme alone! " Regina placed both hands on her waist. Her skirt was too fitted and short. Her fair thighs were exposed to all eyes. Regina had a round face with pointed chin. Her lips were plump and pink. Her big eyes beautified by long thick lashes looked captivating. She was indeed beautiful sha! You don't expect me to praise her like that na! Kate fine pass her!

"Nonso and Regina can never ever be the cutest couple in this class! Never!" Peggy blurted out.

"Of course na!" Debra hissed.  "Their relationship is fake. Too fake!"

"Okay! End of this discussion! I am ourra of here" Regina stretched her hands at our faces. "Let's go, girls". Her entourage strutted behind her.

"I even prefer Naomi and Freddy's relationship!" Peggy voiced. All the girls looked at me with goofy eyes.

"Where is your boo?" Debra asked.

I shrugged with my face, void of any emotions.

"See her! Pretending to be tough. We know you like him jare! " Peggy slammed her hand on my butt.

"Ouch!" I whined and pinched her arm.

"Sorry na! "

"Go and meet your boo! He misses you" Debra said with a teasing tone.

That's when I realized I haven't seen Freddy. I looked around the class. He wasn't there. What happened to that mu mu?

"Are you looking for you boo-boo bear?" Peggy cooed and the girls giggled. The bell was rung for the first class which was mathematics. I walked to my desk and hesitantly sat down. I turned to look at Freddy's empty chair and an evil smile made its way to my lips. Thank God oo! That mu mu is not here to disturb me! Ah, I must cherish this moment! Chai, my socks would be clean today. Praising the Lord always! Praising the Lord always! Praising the Lord with all my heart always!
