彡The Edozunor twins彡
"Alright,that's all for today. I'll see y'all in our next class ".Mr Gboyega,theire physics teacher said and exited the classroom,his textbooks tucked under his armpit and his iphone in his hand.
The moment the man walked out completely,class 12 began their noise making.
Whilst some fished out their phones,others were still talking about the latest news - Idara Jakobs sudden death.Some laid their heads on their lockers like Riccardo and Jamal,and others like Karissa and Kimia brought out their textbooks to read.
It was almost noon and they'd already done half of their classes for the day. Some of them were eagerly waiting for the bell for lunch to be rung.
"But wait oh,"A girl at the front of the class suddenly said,getting half of the class' attention. " Look at her." She raised her hand to point her manicured finger at the girl at the very end of the class.
"What in God's name is she carrying on her head. What kind of hairstyle is that?." The girl,Sekeenat commented,and she got a few chuckles as response from her classmates.
Sekeenat hissed loudly"Bush girl."
"Awwwn. Piggy why?." Annike Ladipo cooed. She earned another round of laughter around her.A small smirk tugged at her lips. She felt satisfied hearing the sound.
"Don't you have anything better to do than to pick on people , Annike and Sekeenat?." Ailee Diallo came to the girl's defense, eyeing the two bullies. Chizaram Anenih raised her gaze towards her, visible shock written on her chubby chocolate-brown face.
Sekeenat eyed her,a look of annoyance etched on her face. "Mind your goddamn business you freak."
"Says the freak herself.
"Jamal Okusanya was quick to come to his girlfriend's aid. His head raised from his desk,and his eyes narrowed slits at Sekeenat's direction.
"Don't start with me, Okusanya." Sekeenat glared.
"You think I'm scared of a little brat like you?. Oh no,what on earth is she gonna do to me?." He feigned fear. " Oh I'm so very scared. Please don't tell your daddy." The whole class burst into fits of laughter,some doubling over and falling off their chairs,and others mocking her to get her even more riled up.
Sekeenat Falade was livid.
"Careful bro,she might just go report you to her daddy afterall." Chidera Omenma joked. Sekeenat glared at them, visibly fuming,then she let out an unattractive screech, and stormed out of the class. The laughing continued,and if possible,got even louder. Their eyes were trained on the livid girl who was stomping out of the class,then all of a sudden, bumps into a teacher on the way out.
"And where do you think you're going to?." The large man questioned her. Sekeenat crossed her arms in annoyance and mumbled a "bathroom"
"Why didn't you use the bathroom before I came here?. You're trying to avoid class aren't you". Sekeenat opened her mouth to deny the accusation only to be cut off by the man.
"My friend go back to your seat this instant. You're not going anywhere!." He boomed. Sekeenat glared at him.
"Inside,I said!." Sekeenat rolled her eyes at him,and stomped back in before the man could reprimand her for her action. Mr Raffiel let out an exasperated sigh and walked in.
"Alright". Mr Raffiel sat at the edge of the desk facing the entire class and watched as everyone sat up straighter.
"So,since today's our first day,we won't be writing any notes." The man announced followed by series of :
"Hallelujah "
And
"Thank God."
"Today will just be about discussions. I'll talk a little about our first topic and hand out your scheme to the class rep-who's your class rep?" He asked,and a series of hesitant fingers pointed to the girl at the back,Shayla Madonna.
"I'm not your class rep any longer. That was last year. " Shayla said.
"Well until y'all conduct a new election,you are still the class rep. Come collect the scheme from my office before closing today and make sure to pass it around." Mr Raffiel instructed,earning a small nod from the light skinned girl.
"Okay!, we'll be discussing about the common wealth today-"
"Good morning everyone, sorry to barge in." Jidenna Skye appeared at the doorway of class 12's classroom,a boy and a girl standing behind him.
"Good morning class twelve!." The man said to the students.
"Good morning principal Jidenna," Came their synchronized response.
"Meet the Edozunor twins, and your new classmates," All eyes fell on the siblings who stood awkwardly at the entrance. "Come in you two. Don't just stand there." The principal said. Ostyn took his sister's hand in his and took hesitant steps into the room. The twins stood beside the man, facing a mass of students.
"Introduce yourselves." The man said and the twins nodded.
"Um,hi. I'm Ostyn Edozunor."
"And I'm Malia Edozunor." They both gave their audience a tight smile, nervousness swimming in it.
Over fourty two eyes were staring right at them. Some with amazement,and others with curiosity.
"Make sure you treat them well,make them feel at home at this school. Be nice to them and don't hesitate to offer help when they need it." The man lectured. Some hummed in response,others nodding their heads.
"Alright!. Take care you two." The man patted them both on the shoulder before walking out. Now it was just the two of them standing in front of the class. Plus the teacher at their back.
"Erm,young man," Ostyn twisted his neck to the direction of the man giving him his attention. "Go sit over there,next to Jamal." Ostyn followed where the man was pointing at and found an empty spot next to a neutral faced dark skinned boy at the corner. Ostyn took his sister's hand in his and gave it a squeeze,then walked towards where the man had pointed, taking his place next to the Jamal boy.
"You can seat next to Anaya,or Mr Judah at the back." The teacher said. Malia stared back and forth between the two empty seats, biting her lip in thought. She turned to look at the man, then turned back around and walked. She slid into the empty seat next to the boy, dropping her bag on the floor next to her.
"Okay! ,As I was saying...."
