For some reason, wattpad refused to let chapter five come first. Kindly read the next part before this for better understand. Thank you.
Damola kept murmuring as we walked towards her portion making me and Agatha laugh.
The previous day, Dinny left the class for the administration block. She was so confident I was very sure she thought the judgement would be in her favour. Damola was called to the admin office and in matter of minutes they were out both with a scowl on their faces.
They had been asked to cut grass and were given separate portions.
Today they were supposed to observe their punishment during school hours but they happened to be no lessons. Why? Because of the sudden death of Mr Job a Basic technology teacher. He was announced dead this morning at the Assembly ground and as to that course no lessons were to be held. The staff of the school had gone to his house for the wake keep leaving only few staff to look after the school.
Majority of the students were happy. Not because of Mr Job's death but because we all get a free day from school activities.
"Damola you better stop that murmuring now" Agatha complained.
Damola hissed "If not for Dinny I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess. I don't want anything to affect my clean record because I still want to be a prefect" Damola says stamping her feet on the floor like a little child asking for something.
As troublesome as Damola can be, she had never been taken to the admin office before for doing something bad. This was the first time. She also happened to be the brightest art student our my class and the second best in SS2.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine" Agatha assured Damola.
"If I catch that Dinny eh! God knows I will strangle her. If she knows she can't do any work why didn't she just go to a private school aspa Senator's daughter that she is"
"Abi o!" Agatha chipped in and they both bursted into laughter.
"Why is this one not saying anything" Damola said poking me on my cheek.
"Damy now, leave me" I push her hand away from my cheek.
"Damola leave her I know what is doing her. She's thinking about Kamsy" Agatha said wriggling her brows.
I hiss "I don't blame you"
"It's true na. Maybe she's also planning Dinny's death. You know she has her eyes on Uzo's man." I shook my head in disapproval.
"Uzo don't worry. I'm with you. Let's kidnap her, kill her and bury her in the school's field" Damola said nudging me slightly.
Okay that one got me. I roared in laughter. "Not me and you please"
Damola smiled "Now this is the Uzo I know"
Her smile turned into a scowl when she sighted Dinny sitting on boulder eating cream crackers biscuit and gently sipping her Mirinda drink leaving her sidekicks Bolu and Blessing to do all the work.
"See biscuit wraps on the floor sef. This girl will never change" Damola hissed. "I pray cream crackers will not be the the death of her" Agatha added and we all started laughing. Dinny turned to us "And what's so funny?" She asked.
"None of your business" Damola deadpanned.
Dinny opened her mouth to speak but closed it back as she saw Damola clenching her hands at both sides.
"Whatever" She said and looked away.
We got started on Damola's portion. It was larger than we thought it would be but we continued anyway. We rested in between like three times and in no time we were done. "Finally!" Damola said dropping the cutlass on the floor doing a victory dance which got Agatha and I laughing.
We washed the tools we used and headed back to class. "Did you see the look on Dinny's face when we finished?" Agatha asked. "It was priceless" I chipped in. "Don't mind her abeg. Did she even do anything? Those two foolish girls did everything for her" Damola hissed.
"Dammy why involve the innocent girls in your feud?" I asked Damola
"I didn't involve them in anything. I'm just saying the truth. Are they not foolish? They are serving someone else's punishment and are allowing her to boss them around all because of the things they will get from her" Damola shook her head.
"True" Aggy and I shrugged
"Well if it isn't the most wanted chick"
I cringed at the sound of that voice
I turned and was met with the smirking faces of Terry J and his gang.
"Her royal Highness, why are you walking under the sun looking famished" he asked feigning concern.
I just ignore him and keep my mouth shut as Adaku instructed.
"Cat caught your tongue?" One of his friends whom I recognise as Tolu asked. "Why don't you say something? Weren't you blabbering the other day?" Chogu added. I just kept shut.
Terry J walked towards me taking slow strides "You have fallen into my trap today and no one will save you" he said grinning leaving his brown teeth on full display. I gulped and Damola just squeezed my hand and I turned to her. She mouthed to me 'keep your cool'.
I could see Agatha's expression and she looked like she was going to pee in her pants. I wanted to laugh so hard but I couldn't. "You insulted me the other right" Sean started and I turned to him. "You're gonna pay for it. You hear me you'll pay. You think say the world they revolve around your fine face abi? Omo I go show you pepper" he said glaring at me.
"What's happening over here" I heard the unmistakable voice of Mr Kojo a technical drawing teacher known for his strict nature and his whip also known as his best friend.
"Will someone answer me" he said a frown creasing his brows.
"Sir we were going to our class" Damola immediately said.
"Then what are you still waiting for? Get lost" he said and we scurried away. Thanks Mr Kojo, you're a life saver. We stopped to catch our breath as soon as we got close to SS2 block.
"Uzo you have to do something about Sean oh" Damola said. "The guy really mean you"
"I know" I face palmed "I'll do something" I said and made a mental note to speak with Adaku.

I kept racking my brain trying to get the answer to the physics question. I had solved it the right way yet the answer did not match that from my textbook. It was the last question in the exercise and the toughest of all.
I kept staring blankly at my book in frustration. What did I do wrong? Not to brag but I was one of the best in my class and I normally studied the topics we were to be taught before time. That was what I was doing.
I decided to go through my steps again and that was when I realized that I didn't convert a value from hours to seconds. I mentally smack myself. So this it's this small thing that has been giving me headache since. I slammed my textbook shut and tossed it aside making it fall to the ground. I hissed and picked it up and my eyes caught a picture. That picture, his picture. I picked it up and stared for a while and placed it back into my Physics textbook.
I shouldn't have a photo of him with me. He left me for good and now I have to live my life. Kamsy is in my life now. As much as I don't want to let him in, I also don't want to let him go.
My gaze rested on the shiny silver bracelet on my wrist with a half heart as it's pendant. It's high time I get rid of this and everything else that reminds me of him.
I pulled off the bracelet and kept it in my bag. I heard noise from outside and saw Damola walking dragging Agatha with her.
I turned to her. "Damola what is going on outside?" I asked her.
"Americana is back and people are going to welcome him" she shrugged.
"Americana??" I asked in confusion.
"Yes now. That boy that was with us in junior school. What that his name again? I think it's Timi. Yes yes I remember Timi Adenuga" Damola said. "You remember him ba?" She asked.
"No I don't" I said to her and shrugged. How could I not remember him. Of course I did. Timi is really back. My heart was drumming against my chest. I had always heard of the saying 'Speak of the devil and he appears' but what just happened was I thought of him and he's here.
My hands were sweaty and I rubbed them on my gown repeatedly to dry them.
"He's so fine now eh! His skin is just glowing. The American weather was definitely in his favour" Agatha said smiling.
Oh no! Is my worst nightmare coming true? What am I going to do now? Oh God save me...
"Daniel you're still the same" That unmistakable voice snapped me out of my reverie. I saw him greeting people.
"Hope you got me something oh"
"See as you come fresh"
"This one na real American wonder"
"Timi the Timi"
The class suddenly went silent. "There's someone I haven't seen"
At that moment I was thinking of the closest escape route but I realized it's the door and if I did go that way he'd see me. Screw the person that created louvers.
I turn to my book pretending to be reading and chewing softly on my pen out of nervousness.
"Hello Uzo" I looked up and my eyes were met with those dark orbs and for a moment I didn't hear my heart beat.
Dun dun dun...
