  When  I saw Zach standing outside my bedroom window the next morning , I  was dumbfounded. I vocally begged my heart to give good reasons why he was smiling at me from that spot at that time of the day but my pleading didn't work. Instead, I could only think of him being there because he failed at perpetrating an evil act until the smart guy spoke to defend himself. "I only came in because the gate was open in and I wanted to confirm if you're safe", He spoke calmly. "Are you serious?" I hit myself on the head, remembering that my exhausted self forgot to lock it because I slept off after we got back from the trip in the evening. "I totally understand", He sighed."Let's thank God nothing bad happened to you". "Abi oo...please wait for me in the living room ", I told him then quickly joined him there since the outfit I was still wearing the outfit for the broadcast visit.  The only reason I t old him to sit there was becaus

Before the time my abusive mouth planned on unleashing the power of insults on Bene, Sukurat came in panting and apologized for the trouble she caused. She also explained the reason for her lateness - She was anxious about the trip so she couldn't sleep all through the night. Nevertheless, she woke up early and made it to her bus park on time. Her trouble started when she started slumbering and was taken beyond her destination. The wicked conductor whose bus she entered didn't bother waking her up since he was only interested in making more money off her. In less than five minutes after Afusat's arrival, we prayed for the success of our trip and re-assembled ourselves in the rented bus arranged by the school authority to convey us to our destination, which still required us to pay the sum of Two thousand naira. Well, part of it was for the school's caterer to make the snacks we took along with us because we knew our bellies were going to make unpleasant noises if we di

Chapter Twenty-Seven...Nowhere to be found In one of the uncompleted rooms in Halima's grandpa's home, we later turned off the radio and started making plans for the singing contest. We had already rehearsing "Little Drummer Boy" by Pentatonix since we planned on singing it for our school carol before it was canceled so we didn't have to argue about the song to pick. Our only regret was that the boys didn't join us. Still, we weren't bothered because that could be easily solved. Master Ken, who led our rehearsal then lived close and we were nice to each other. For proper identification, we decided to use our school uniform as the outfit for the contest and wear Christmas hats on it. To lessen the cost of the trending items for everyone, Khadijat offered to go get it at the market in bulk, making everyone promise to give her their money by the end of the week. Kaira also tried convincing the girls to buy the same pattern of shoes and bags, to stand out amo

  The Clash Of Ideas As Bene Repo took a few steps out of the house, he turned back with a smile and we finished accessing the list of the students that would follow us for the trip. Of course, I had to include Sukurat's name like Bene wanted because I didn't want to seem selfish and didn't like seeing him unhappy. Jess was wrong when she said I hated the girl because she derived joy in disturbing Bene Repo. I disliked her unruliness and couldn't wait for her to prove my point, so I can boldly tell him, "I told you so" to his face. Bene and Jess left Omma's place around 4pm so they could go help their moms with preparing dinner while I returned. Omma claimed she was impressed with my achievement so she decided to make me yam pottage for dinner. Then after I've gulped down the last bit of that which was dished on my plate, she told me how she got the ingredients she used in preparing it ....from Zach. Can you believe that? God! I was tempted to bite h
