The Externals - Chapter Fifteen

"We all have our bad habits, don't we?" She blushed. "Yh", I sighed and thought of a way to make our conversation lengthy. "So what are your good habits". "Dancing is one of those. My sister taught me how to do it", She showed me some cool dance moves. "That's cool", I was jealous of her because my sisters were never available to teach me anything. "I'm also thinking of creating a cheer group for our athletes", She was excited. A cheer group in GMC? I wasn't so sure about that but I couldn't discourage her either. I followed her to Master Gbenga's office to tell him about it when they returned from the field and he agreed. Immediately, she brought out a piece of paper and started writing out the names of the junior students who were interested in joining her team.
