MY
DAYS AT CROWN SCHOOL✔
#EPISODE_11
✒✒✒✒✒✒
It was on Saturday evening, we’ve all taken our supper, so I took the opportunity to rest since I re-ad throu-gh out the day. Almost thirty minutes, I was fast asleep on my be-d, I shifted at the sound of someone I heard. I couldn’t hear what the person was saying, until I felt someone tapped me.
“Suzy wake up. Time for social night.” It was Temi.
I turned to the other side, because I was enjoying my sleep. I wasn’t re-ady to be at the social night early.
“Suzy, you said you wanted to rest. Don’t let the prefect report you to the house master.”
Mehn!!! At the hearing of the house master, I didn’t know how I got up so fast, but I found myself alre-ady sitting on the be-d. That man ehnnn! I don’t know his business with the girls here. I wouldn’t want him to use me to renovate the school. Once he catches anyone, or you’re reported to him, he would ask you to pick a room and start cleaning the surroundings. That will be your way of renovating the hostel.
I hissed. “God! I’m so tired Temi. I don’t feel like going. I just want to rest.”
Temi sighed and shook her head. “If you’re the type that sleep a lot, would say it’s your hobby, but this is unusual of you,” she said. “Anyways, let’s get going.” She tried to push me up.
One thing I like about Temi, she doesn’t joke with the school activities. She loves to p@rticipate in every competition she can. She would always tell Debbie who never loves to take p@rt in anything. She would say, ‘be useful for the school. That way, you’re helping yourself. You’re building something for yourself. You might not see it now, but you’re helping yourself somehow’.
Have I ever said, when I hear her speak, I always admire her, and admire her intonation. She’s brilliant, and does her things clas-sy all the time. From the day I met her, I’ve admired her. Not because she has a slim b©dy like models, but because she speaks with confidence, and always mind her business.
I took a look at Kunmi in her corner, she was re-ading, and before I knew it, Debbie’s voice echoed inside the room.
“Social night! Social night! It’s eight o’clock guys.” She announced.
“And how come is Suzy never re-ady tonight.” It was Victoria’s voice. She walked into my corner, sitting on my be-d.
“She has been slee-ping all day, and she refused to get up.” It was Temi who talked and I almost shouted.
Ahhhhh!!!
All day khe!
What type of figure of speech would I call that?
Hyperbole.
“Temi, it’s not even up to thirty minutes, and you said ‘all day’.”
“It’s okay, you guys should just change your clothes.” Victoria quic-kly changed the discussion before we could start any argument.
I changed into something else, as Kunmi also changed. We all walked out of the room together, gisting and laughing on our way to the hall. When we got there, almost everyone was alre-ady on their seats. The chairs had been scattered as everyone wanted their seats at the front to watch clearly. We were able to see some vacant chairs, and immediately we took our seats. As usual, the other seats were taken by our regular disturbance. Festus is the gentle one though.
s£nior Teju, the social prefect, began with the opening prayer as more students walked in. Some of the students always feel like Kings and Queens. Acting like there was no one in power to query them.
“Hi,” I knew whose voice it was, so I just kept quiet. Not re-ady to give in. Besides, I was still feeling tired. The ss1 students started with a drama as we watched.
“You really look good in this go-wn.” He complimented, and that got my attention. I wasn’t expecting the go-wn to fit me because it belongs to my elder sister.
“Hmm… Thanks.” I murmured, facing the drama students.
“Your Dad must have a very good taste like me.” He tea-sed.
That actually made me looked back to see if it was him who said it. He was grinning like a seven years old boy. I rolled my eyes at him. He of all people. My Dad likes just two colour, black all throu-gh or white all throu-gh. He puts on other colours though.
“Dad didn’t, it’s for my sister.” I told him the truth.
“I thought so!” He said cracking a smile.
“That!” I sh0t back at him because I knew he has started with his drama again.
“That you just look like an Angel. I almost failed to recognize you. But even if I’m thrown in a dark room and was told to bring out Suzy. I would still recognize you pretty.”
Hahaha
I found myself laughing. No matter how, I know I can’t ever escape smiling and laughing when I’m with victor. “What’s that on yourl-ips.” I said, and he t©uçhed hisl-ips.
I smiled, pouting myl-ips to avoid laughing too loud. “That sweet mouth of yours can’t fool me. Kole work! (It can’t work).” I looked away, hiding my smiling face.
Hahaha
I’m too good.
I was sure his mouth still hanged open.
Hahaha
I was trying not to laugh. But when I peeped at him at the corner of my eye, he was grinning.
“🎶 From the first time that I set my eyes on you,
Baby I was stuck on you,
Babe I call for you,
Make my b©dy call for you,
All for you…🎶” He sang the song slowly beside me.
Wow!!
I could not deny the guy has a sweet voice. But when it comes to Victor, I won’t ever admit that.
I turned to him. “You know that won’t work,” I curtly said and looked away again. I smiled at myself.
Jazzzz!
It was working like mad!
Lieing lieing Suzy.
Again, I heard him singing another song.
🎵🎵
“🎶 If I’m to choose, girl I’ll choose you. . .
Them say na taboo but girl I see truth in you. . .
Girl I cherish you,
I stand for you o..
I won’t lie to you,
Girl I feel lie for you oh..🎶”
Oh my God! He was actually singing like k!ssDaniel himself. (A Nigerian artiste). No amount of pouting could st©p me from showing my white set of teeth. I wonder how he knew I like
k!ssDaniel. I saw Yomi laughing.
God! That crazy guy saw all my performance since. I never knew he was watching. He must have saw me grinning since. I turned to Victor. “How did you know I like that song?”
He laughed getting the girls attention. Some smiled, and some threw me dirty looks before looking away. He ignored them, facing me.
“I know you have a thing for tall, handsome guys like me.” He win-ked.
“Point of correction, only those who look like k!ssDaniel.”
He laughed. “You see. I just don’t like showing because I’m not proud. Some would always say I look like k!ssDaniel. I just love keeping it to myself.”
Hehe
I could not laugh
Victor yaff kill me.
I looked at him from head to toe before talking. “Thank God you know they are deceiving you.” I jokingly said, ma-king jest of him.
“plea-se don’t ever believe in such prophecies.”
I caught Victoria ma-king jest of her brother.
“Chai! Victor just go and sleep. She has finally finished you.” Yomi said and everyone bur-st into laughter.
“plea-se, plea-se, she wasn’t talking to you. That person should just keep shut.”
Hmm…
Temi and Yomi episode about to begin.
We thought Yomi wasn’t going talk, but then we heard,
🎶🎵
🎶 You think say the world they revolve around your bu-m bu-m.
You think say the world they revolve around your
fine face 🎶🎵🎵
Yomi replied her with a song, and we all knew he was referring to Temi.
Temi got angry and sh0t at Yomi.
“Yomi was I talking to you?”
Who doesn’t kno w
🎶 Mabi Mi ni Jamb question,
I no be dandi, I no be fool
Mabi mi ni Jamb question
See your style is just not cool.. 🎶
Yomi sang again and everyone couldn’t help but bur-st into laughter. Seriously, that boy is something else.
“It’s not funny!” Temi’s voice was loud. She was almost crying and it surprised me. “You guys are seeing Yomi now. If I start insulting him, you guys would say ‘Temi has started again’.”
“Guy you too st©p.” It was Festus who talked. Yomi laughed and coughed. “But speaking of the truth, it’s not a crime to sing. Okay. May be she doesn’t like the song I’ve been singing. I know she will like this one.” He began.
🎵🎶 Oh, her eyes, her eyes,
Make the stars look like they’re not shinning.
Her hair, her hair,
Falls perfectly without her trying..
She’s so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah 🎵🎵🎵
🎶 I know, I know
When I compliment her she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see
what I see… 🎶
“Yomi she’s blu-shing alre-ady!” Victoria shouted holding Temi to turn to our direction.
Hahaha…Temi blu-shing?
Yomi’s voice was ‘Wow!’
He was so serious has he sang the song. Beautiful and talented. It was a song by ‘Bruno Mars’. But I saw something, it was damn clear Yomi liked his cousin. Those two just like fighting unnecessarily, but they do care about each other. And Yomi was just using style to torment an innocent girl.
Temi launched at him and started hitting him.
“Stupid boy! I will have to refer you to a psychiatric hospital, so you can for once behave like a normal human being.” She was hitting him as the two ran to the end of the hall. “Seriously, Yomi plea-se grow up,” she shouted. I could hear Yomi’s laughter also. So loud that it was disturbing the peace of the hall, but the prefect could not talk. Ap@rt from being clas-s mate, I think Victor’s group were given high respect.
Victor was quiet and I wonder why? When I looked at his direction, he was busy with his phone. And I was certain he wasn’t chatting me. A call c@m£ in, showing ‘BB’ on his screen. No one told me what to do before I turned away and concentrated on the activities going on.
••••
For some weeks, I avoided him and ha-rd ly reply his messages, because for second term, I was so much interested in my books. I wouldn’t want to disappoint Dad. I didn’t want him getting angry at me, and I really want him to see good changes in me, especially my further maths. I was always Kunmi whenever we have free period, so we could work some calculations together. Talking about further maths and calculations in general, she was really damn good! Text was starting in a week, and I couldn’t wait. I was so prepared. I had to make Mom and Dad proud.
