I splash some water on my face and breathe out.
What the hell happened in there.
I can’t believe I drooled over a guy, for the first time in my life.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror and scoffed.
What could possibly be wrong with me??
I carried my bag from the table and walk out.
My eyes met with koyla’s and I inhaled a sharp breath.
“Hey. Let’s find your class before the bell rang”she smiled and I wished the ground will open and swallow me up.
I can’t believe I disgrace my self on my first day here.
“Huh, yeah”I fidgeted with my bag.
She start walking out and I followed behind.
We arrived at a office and koyla said it’s the principal’s.
I walk in and did all the necessary stuffs. She gave me my class number and I walk out after thanking her.
Immediately I got out, the bell rang and all the students littering around hurriedly left for their class.
“C’mon let’s go, you got your class number, right??”koyla asked immediately she sighted me.
“Of course” I mumbled.
We started walking away and koyla stopped after some minutes.
“I need to get something from my locker, you can go ahead without me, what’s the number of your class”she rushed her words.
“I’ll find you, we’ll catch up later”I said instead and she shrugged and walk away.
I’m grateful we are going to be in different class.
Locating my class was difficult, I walk for about thirty minutes before locating it.
I stood at the door and breathe in and out.
The teacher looks strict just by looking at him.
I finally decide to walk in, all eyes turned to look at me and they start whispering to each other.
“Are you part of the class???”The teacher asked and i nodded.
“Then get your ass in and stop distracting my class”he sneered.
“O… okay, sir”I walk past the students.
“Raq??”someone called and I turned to look at the person….
Oh no.
Why must this be her class.
Is faith toying with me.
She smiled and gestured to me to come over.
I hissed inwardly and walk over to the empty desk beside her then sat down.
“How faith works, I’m thankful we are classmates”she beamed.
“Yeah”
“Like I said earlier, literature is studies man’s success and failures is his strength and weaknesses and it also mirrors…”the teacher continue talking on and on.

After some minutes, the bell rang and the teacher walk out while another walk in immediately.
“Seriously”I scoffed.
We greeted her and she reply us cheerfully.
“Okay. Let’s begin today’s lecture”she announced as she placed her textbook on the table.
“As I always say, in government, two plus two is not equal to four. It’s might be eighteen or any other number but in mathematics, tow plus two is four!”
“Without further details, this simply means, in government we have many definitions for a words. For example, call someone tell me the meaning of local government?”
Many hands went up in the air and the teacher point at one girl.
“Yes?.. Ava, you wanna try?”she said flipping through the page of her textbook.
“Yes ma’am. Local government is defined as the government at the local level, established by law to perform a specific functions in a defined area”the girl explained and the teacher nodded.
“Thank you Ava, that was impressive. Miranda, tell us what you’ve got”
” Local Government is simply the agent that’s bringing the people closer to the government or the government closer to the people”
“That was also impressive, I like this”the teacher nodded and adjust her glasses.
“Yeah??, newbie?, you want to try”she asked me even though I didn’t raise my hand.
I cleared my throat and stood up.
“To me, local government….”

After four classes, we are finally in lunch break.
“Hope you enjoy the lecture here?”koyla asked as I packed my textbook and placed it in my bag then zipped it up.
“Yeah, it’s pretty amazing”I shrugged and she giggled.
“Cafeteria?”
“Yeah, I’m really famished, I didn’t eat much at home all because I’m resuming to another school”
“That’s normal”she chipped in and I nodded.
We walk out of the class and headed to the cafeteria.
We finally got there, I find an open area and sat down.
“What would you like?”koyla asked.
“Uhmm.,… I will just order turkey wrap and apple juice”I smiled and she nodded as she walked away.
Okay, she’s really nice than I thought.
She came back later with my food and went back for hers.
She returned and sat down opposite me.
I drank from my apple juice as a girl walk over to us.
“Hey, koyla”she waved.
“Hey, Miranda, what’s up with you?”koyla asked as the girl drew out a chair.
Oh, Miranda.
The girl from earlier.
“Hey, newbie”she waved at me and I scoffed.
“Hey, oldie”I rolled my eyes.
“Have you done your homework, koyla?. We are to summit after lunch, remember?”Miranda sipped out of her orange juice.
“Yeah, I remember”koyla sighed dropping another pizza in her mouth.
“Which type of assignment are you given, do l need to do it also?”I asked and koyla looked at me.
“We’re asked to write a poem and don’t worry, you don’t have to write it, you’re new here”
I nodded and stabbed my fork into my turkey wrap.
Suddenly, the students started shouting and running around.
“What’s happening?”I asked.
“Well, It’s styopa”Miranda sighed.
Oh, that guy from earlier.
I noticed the noise started moving closer to us and I turned to have a look.
My eyes met with a brown eyes and he stared at me as though he has seen me before.
“You!”he pointed at me and started taking long strides towards me.
I felt my heart skipped and I turned to look at the girls and they were also looking at me confusingly.
My heart started playing party drum and I return my gaze back to him.
Okay, what the hell is happening.
Why’s styopa walking towards me…
