       •°•°Anita's POV°•°•

"Naomi has started again. This girl likes going to school late!" I barged into her room.  A devious smile hopped on my lips when I saw her fast asleep.

I tiptoed into he bathroom, filled a bowl with water and sneaked to the side of her bed.

I know this is called wickedness and the bed would be wet but...Hey people, that's the only way to wake her up. Besides she needs to be punctual!

I emptied the content in the bowl on her face. Naomi sprung up as if she was drowning. She gasped and wiped her face.

"Whoops! My hand slipped!" I smiled innocently.

"You are so annoying!"

"Azin eh! Don't mind me! Oya to the bathroom. It's time to bath!" I pulled her out of the bed.

"Leave me jor! Mtchew!" Naomi hissed and stomped into the bathroom.

Chai, see my poor little sister. Abeg, lemme go and prepare for school. As the head girl, I must lead by example.

Three hours later, I was in school and was preparing for my first class.

Assembly was annoying as usual. I had to stay under hot sun, punishing students.

Who is really getting punished here? It is obviously me since I have to stand under the scorching sun from the beginning to the end of the assembly.

Luckily, today I have two free periods before I will have Chemistry. That would be during the third period.

I decided to use the first period to convince the principal that our school should organize a Students' week occasion.

I feel so humiliated! I had bet with CHS's head boy and head girl that my school would win all their competition. Sincerely, I didn't want to bet. They were the one who pressured me into doing so. They won my money. It was only in the maths competition that I was able to win. And that's because Ken nailed all their questions.

"Sir, it is important that we make the students develop socially and academically!" I persuaded. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It makes Anita a dull girl too! This occasion will help them. It would even help them improve in their debates. We will also have a debate competition!"

"Alright! I have heard!" Mr Ade snapped. "I will think about it!"

You better think about it if you like yourself! I no won fight pesin!

"Thank you, sir!" I said and secretly rolled my eyes.

"You can leave!"

I nodded and walked out.

It takes a lot of energy to tolerate that man's attitude! I think that is what explains why he is single. Eyah!

I strutted into the class. Ebube, one of my male classmate made his way to me.

"How far na?" he greeted.

"I'm good!" I shrugged and walked to my seat which was in the back.

Don't tell anyone but I am a noisemaker! I like to talk sha! Some teachers are just too annoying! It's better to sit at the back where they won't see you. You can easily hiss or roll your eyes.

"Have you thought about it?" Ebube asked.

"Thought about what?" I lifted a brow.

"Will you go on a date with me?"

"Ah! I said no na!"

"Why?"

"I am not interested in starting any relationship with anybody!" I deadpanned.

"Or is it that you have a boyfriend?"

"I dumped my last boyfriend and right now, I am single!"

"Please, give me a chance!"

"Ode! We have waec, neco and jamb to think of! Do you think I am a F9 student? I want to pass so all distraction has been eliminated!" I said bluntly.

"Why are you so harsh?"

"Because this is not the first time you asked me this question. I was polite but you still keep insisting. The next time you ask me that question, I will leave a slap on your face! Go and read your book!"

He narrowed his eyes at me and stormed away.

All these players! They think that they can use my brain! They don't know they messed with the wrong girl. When I finish with them, sense will be bestowed on them by force.

I scanned through my books and sighed.

I want to study nursing. Surviving as a science student has not been easy for me. Teachers are always recommending textbooks and they are always giving projects. I have to save my own money for it. Sometimes I deprive myself from my lunch just to have enough to buy them. I can't disturb my parents all the time. It might make them angry and who knows, they might decide not to encourage my dream of being a nurse.

"Mr Steven's wife!" Amaka chirped and sat on my desk.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and sucked in some air.

I am fed up with this nonsense! I hate being called that pervert's wife. I am tired of Mr Steven's always favoring me in class. What if the school management hears of this and gets the wrong idea! I might be expelled!

I frowned at Amaka, "Never in your life call me that!"

"Hian! Is he not your husband?"

"Ah! Is goat not your husband? Madam she-goat!"

"Na wa oo! You can insult eh!"

"Pele!" I stuck my tongue out.
"But seriously, I need to talk some sense into Mr Steven. I am the head girl of this school and I am a responsible girl too. I won't allow him drag my name into a mud due to his perverted ways!"

"Yes oo! Action mama! I trust you! You will put him in his place!"

"Ah! Have you forgotten who I am? I can handle that man! In fact, let me go and talk to him!" I rose and marched out of the class. I located the Chemistry lab and knocked.

"Come in!" a familiar deep, husky voice called out.

Anita, I know you can do this! You know how men are, they use and dump. You are too young for that. You have waec to write. If you fail, who knows what your parents might do!

I slammed the door open and stomped in.

"Good morning sir!" I sneered. "We need to talk"

He lifted his head that was dug into a large textbook and cocked a brow.

"A talk with me?"

"No oo! With your pen!" I mumbled.

"I heard that!"

"Congratulations, sir!"

He chuckled and dropped the textbook. "So what are we talking about?"

I glanced at the door that was wide open and went to shut it.

I will just tell him my mind, warn him and leave. There is no time for delay.

"Mr Steven!" I stressed his name and folded my arms at my chest. I gave him my most dominanting and intimidating look while standing far from him.

Just in case someone walks in, they won't get the wrong idea.

"Yes?"

"I am sure you know that my classmates have nicknamed me as your wife!"

"Oh, really?" he smiled, amusement flickered in his eyes.

The eyes I would like to poke. He likes to look at me in a weird way and I don't like that.

"I need you to stop that!"

"Stop what?"

"Stop looking at me! I mean,..I don't like the way you look at me. You are always staring at me in class. You ask me questions all the time. Just stop it. You make people think that we have some kind of relationship. I don't like that! I am the head girl of this school. What if the school management gets the wrong..."

He got to his feet which made me pause. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I know!" he uttered. "You don't need to tell me. I understand what you are trying to say!"

"Then why are you making things complicated for me? I hate being called your wife! You need to make my classmate stop saying that!" I yelled.

"I will try to do something about that!"

"Then do it quick! I won't let you ruin my life!" I snapped and was about to leave. I paused and turned to him. "I didn't mean to be harsh. I just have dreams that I don't want to crumble".

"Wait!" he moved towards me. I stared with wide eyes as he stopped in front of me. "I like you!"

"You say what now?" I rose both eyebrows.

"I like you that's why I am always staring at you!" he chuckled nervously and ran his finger down his hair. "I haven't felt like this for anybody. I don't know what happened to me but the first time I saw you in the principal's office. I fell hard for you!"

"Hold on! Thank you very much sir for liking me but it is time to burn that feeling!" I placed both hands on my hip. "I am a secondary student! How old are you?"

"Twenty-two! You?"

"Seventeen!"

"It can still work out!"

"Iffa slap you eh, you will see rainbows!" I yelled before I could stop myself. "Sorry! I know that you are my elder. I didn't mean to be rude"

He nodded and said, "I just senior you with five years!"

"Sir, na wa for you! Do I look like a girl that is interested in dating older men?"

"Ah! I am not old!"

"Whatever!" I waved my hand at his face.

"Can an old man be hot like me?" he folded his arms on his chest and tilted his head.

"See! I know you are a handsome man! You are hot. It's the truth but I am not going to change my mind. Burn that feeling of yours!"

I have heard of stories of young girls being impregnated by their teachers. I won't fall for this!

"Telling me not to like you makes me like you more! I really adore your confidence and you are so beautiful!" he smiled.

"Hehssss! Hold it there! Did I tell you that I am not beautiful? I know that I am beautiful! You can't wine my head. I'm a sharp girl" I said and eyed him.

"I am just saying you are beautiful. Chill!"

"I should chill?"

"Yes!"

"Mtchew!"

"Wow!" he chortled. "You are so fiesty! I am starting to like you more!" he wiggled his brows and smirked.

"Omo see dreamer oo!"

Mr Steven placed his hands on his chest and burst into laughter. "Do you think my feeling for you is fake?"

His expression became serious. He walked up to me and slipped his arm around my waist. He pulled me and I was pressed against his torso. He took my hand, kissed it and placed it on the left side of his chest.

"Feel it! How is my heart beating?"

"It's..." I trailed off. His heart was beating so fast. I couldn't even keep track of its speed. "It's beating fast!"

"Yes! And that's because of you! I really like you. My feelings for you are not devious. I genuinely like you and that's why I always find myself gazing into your eyes" he whispered into my ear in a husky voice.

My eyes were as wide as a saucer as I gazed into his.

Anita, you need to snap out of this in the count of 1...2...3...Go!
