Bonjour mi honourable readers ❤️ Here is the promised chapter.....

Iremide's POV
         Ugh!! It's Monday and I have to be in school by 6am for the stupid prefect meeting, the time is 5:40 and I haven't even taken a bath. I woke up extremely late because I slept by 4:30 forgetting that I was a prefect and had to be in school 1hour earlier, what a great way to start my first day in office.
   
      "You couldn't even come to school early on your first day of office, do you know how long we've been waiting" an unknown person scolded me, well, I don't know her name but I can guess she is an angry prefect who has been waiting for twenty minutes now because I, the wonderful head girl decided to grace them with my by 6:20am.
       "Haven't you heard, she thinks she's better than everybody else" another unknown female prefect added.
    
    "Can we start now" Ivan said in an authoritative tone
    
   The meeting was short and boring, we prefects learning the dos and don'ts like we don't know them before. Ivan shocked me today, he specifically said all prefects should respect me, I know he is referring to my title but it still feels weird.
  
     After the meeting, Sharon and I went to inspect the classes to check if the cleaners did their job well. Sharon is the sanitation prefect and I just followed her to kill time before the assembly.
       "Don't mind those girls, they are just jealous" Sharon stated
         "Which girls" I asked looking confused.
       "Aisha and Tobi from Science class, the ones that tried to insult you"
       "Ooooh, those are their names, I did not even remember, that's their business o" I replied.
    
       After the inspection we went to the assembly hall. My eyes couldn't stop searching for a particular oyinbo boy. I finally found him, the moment I found him, we made eye contact and he smiled, his smile eh, omo God dey create (an expression to appreciate someone's beauty and God).
       We kept making eye contact throughout the assembly period. I didn't even notice when it ended.
      After assembly, we prefects had to wait behind for a meeting with a teacher, dey sha wan use meeting kill us(the meetings are getting too much),the meeting was basically about an upcoming debate competition. HIS is a school filled with different activities asides education, though a debate is also educational but it is also very interesting. The debate usually holds at the beginning of the each session, HIS picks the most outspoken candidates from each class to represent them for the debate. The debate is a competition amongst different schools in Lagos, our major competitor is Billmar College. I think every secondary school has that one school that they always compete with, well ours is Billmar College. HIS students and Billmar students don't go together, HIS boys likes Billmar girls, while Billmar boys like HIS girls but instead of it creating peace, it just adds fuel to the fire. Now back to the competition, HIS has the most winning count followed by Billmar College, we have to make sure we beat them this year because we don't accept defeat and it is the job of the prefects to choose and train the potential candidates, the prefects are basically the ones that guarantee the school's performance.
     After the meeting, we were all dismissed, well everyone asides Ivan and I, we were called to the Dean's office.
     
      "Good morning sir" Ivan and I said in unison.
      "Good morning Coker and Ross, hope you are doing well"
      "We are sir" we both said in unison again. I don't know why this man has the habit of calling us by our surname like our surname defines us, rubbish.
     "You've heard about the competition and you know the drill, we have to win and the ability to win lies in your hands, you both are the head of the student body and it is your responsibility to assign trusted prefects to each class to pick the best candidates, is that clear?'
       "Yes sir" We replied the old man called our Dean.
       "Good, you can leave"
We both left the office.
  "Ire" Ivan called. E shock me diee (I was surprised)
    "Let's meet during our free period" he quickly added and left, well what was I expecting.

     I made my journey to class, first period had already begun and there's just this feeling that comes with you entering the class while the teacher is there and the teacher has no right to question you because you are the head of the student body, it's really nice. In HIS, the head girl and head boy position is a big deal, even teachers have no right to question them. They are the head of the student body, it means their parent paid lots of money to get them there, while the rest of the prefects were chosen based on merits, they are also big deals.
      "Thinking about me?"
     "Oh my, you scared me" I said in shock. It was Casper.
      "You zoned out during the class, are you okay"
     "Yes, I am" he cares about me, oh my, I have butterflies in my stomach.
     "Can I? He asked pointing at the empty space beside me. I tried my possible best not to overthink things, I don't want to have an attack at this moment.
     "Of course" I replied him. He sat beside, really close and surprisingly, I didn't feel a single bit of fear, I guess I'm starting to feel comfortable around him, I love this feeling.
     We were both quiet, I was taking note of the activities going on in the class, it's just a bunch of spoilt brats making a noise. I felt Casper staring at me so I looked and I was right he was staring at me and didn't even stop after I caught him.
     "Why are you staring at me"
  "I'm just thinking of how blessed I am to see a face as pretty as yours" he replied charmingly.
    Eyyyyy, my heart is doing gbim gbim, this guy sha want me to faint.
     I just smiled in response.
   "Iremide, why are you quiet, you were a lot more outspoken over the phone, why na" he said with a pout.
  He is so cute, I want to pinch those cute cheeks of his.
   "Ooookay, I'll be free, sha don't complain when you get tired of me" I tried not to blush while saying that.
      "That's exactly what I want o, so what's up why did you come late to class"
        "Wait first, who is teaching you all this Nigerian slang" it is as if this boy has lived in Nigeria before.
      "Are you whining me ni(I don't know a perfect translation for this)"
     "In fact is like you are learning from me, oya be going, leave my sit" I tried to feign anger
      "No now, it has not reached this level"
    Before a could reply, an unwanted guest interrupted.
    "Dude, bros before hoes na" Ivan with is big mouth came to spoil show(ruin the vibe)
     "You're not okay"Casper attacked him
     "Whatever sha, Ire we get matter (we have things to do)" Ivan said
      "What?" Casper asked curiously
     "We have to compile a list for something ni" I answered him
      "Yes lover boy, Ire we can't stay in the class, it is too noisy, we have to go to an empty class" Ivan stated.
     The thought of staying in an empty class with a boy screams danger, I'm definitely going to have an attack but not if Casper is there.
      "Come along" I said facing Casper
     "Okay Mon cherie" he replied me
        "No be una fault (it's not you guys fault)" Ivan teased us.

   We went to an empty class, I sat beside Casper while Ivan sat with me, I was in the middle of them. I know that Ivan has to sit with me for us to be able to compile the list but I can't hold it, I'm going to have an attack.
     I can already feel myself sweating, my hands were already shaking but I have to make sure the boys don't notice.                   
   Ivan was already making the list while Casper was adding side comments, they both didn't notice that I was loosing it here, just when I was about to finally loose it, I felt a warm huge arms hold my hands underneath the table.
      I looked at my side and saw that it was Casper, he looked at me questioning if I was okay and I nodded in response. I immediately became calm, I felt my adrenaline coming down, everything felt peaceful.
    I held is hands tightly till we finished complieing the list.
     After we finished, we agreed to announce it in tomorrow's morning meeting and Ivan warned me about lateness. I left the two of them immediately we finished and I made sure to Ignore Casper throughout the day, the whole day felt blurry till I got home.
