Bagan! bagan! bagan!!
The first bell for the day was rung. Followed by the time keeper's voice yelling 'Assembly Time!'. The Junior boys and girls were the first to sprint out of their classrooms -an habit they've grown accustomed to; running, instead of walking. Then the seniors taking their sweet time to walk out of their classrooms. The SS2 girls applying lipgloss as they made their way out,three staying behind, patiently waiting for the SS3's to leave their classroom.
The SS3 were always the last to reach the assembly (At times punished for their lateness). The boys would spend their sweet time polishing their shoes, and the girls trying to adjust their skirts. They'd always spend atleast five minutes out of DLC's assembly time doing just that.
Kinfe was starting to get irritated as she watched Nifemi and Haleema(another friend of hers. Or more like a frenemy depending on the day or mood), fumbling with their uniforms and socks,'fixing themselves up'. Haleema had an extra tie around her neck that she was knotting,at the same time trying to look for her pocket sized hymnal book. Femmy had her hands dug into her wrapper skirt, pulling her tucked cream shirt from below.
"Hurry up you two," Kinfe snapped at them, annoyance clear in her voice. "You want Mr Omosehin to punish us all today?. Abeg o, it's a new week. I'm not interested in kneeling down under hot sun first day of the week."
"Relax babe. Help me look for my hymnal book.I'll go give Aaron his tie back." Haleema didn't wait for Kinfe's reply,she carefully removed the neatly knotted tie around her neck and walked away from the two girls. Kinfesioluwa glared at her retreating figure,and then grumpily went through her bag It didn't take too long to find it.( It was hidden inside one of her large textbooks). Kinfe pulled it out and held onto it with hers. She turned to Femmy who looked like she was done fixing her skirt.
She raised an eyebrow. "Can we go now?." Femmy answered with a smile. She braided her hands with Kinfe's as they both approach their other friend, Haleema, who's surrounded by seven other boys asides the one she was helping wear a tie around his neck. The boy planted a kiss on her left cheek before saunting out of the classroom,seven others following behind like baby ducklings follow their mother. The new guy looked at Kinfe and smirked,then disappearing with the others. Kinfe's brows furrowed together at the action.
What in the name of bikini bottom- ?
"UWAZIE!." One of the boys yelled out all of a sudden. Femmy winced at the volume, and Haleema and Kinfe's face drew irritation.
All three of them walked out of the now empty classroom meeting two SS2 girls standing close to the entrance, surrounded by SS 3 boys.
"Jenniverr." Mikel Jumbo imitated the accent of Funke Akindele on the TV show 'Jenifer's diary '. His fellow boys chuckled. Their monster voices echoing in the scanty hallway.
Haleema hissed as she watched the girls start up a conversation with the boys- correction,one of the boys. "Walahi, I'll soon beat this girl one day."
Kinfe and Femmy followed where-or who-she was glaring daggers at and laughed. Uwazie Jennifer was basically all over Aaron Amahle. She was tugging his right arm as if requesting to walk to the assembly together,and Aaron was just staring at her,a small smirk playing on his lips was the only reply he was giving to whatever the hell came out of the girl's mouth.
"Wellll,She's under the impression that he's single." Femmy started.
"And who doesn't like a pretty faced, single, senior?." Kinfe proded,a smirk of her own playing on her lips. Haleema glared at them both,huffed,then folded her arms on her chest, glaring at the Jenifer girl who kept her hands wrapped around Aaron's arm.
"Bet you're hating your decision to keep things private now huh?." Femmy sniggered.
Aaron Amahle and Haleema Sanusi have had a thing for one another since their second year in Jss3,which is exactly the time when Aaron transferred to the school. They've always been their set's 'cute couple' since their JSS. The two only just recently became official and thought it'd be best if only few knew about it. Haleema was forbidden to date so the news of her having a boyfriend wasn't something she was looking forward to hearing from others. Only her classmates knew about their relationship and she wanted to keep it that way. Besides, graduation wasn't too far away. They wouldn't have to try so hard to keep their relationship a secret from the school or the principal anymore. But there were times Haleema absolutely hated the fact that she couldn't flaunt her pretty boyfriend.
This was one of those times.
"Let's just go." Haleema grumbled, pulling both girls along with her as they by passed their class boys and left for the assembly.
"Aliyah told me her cousin will be joining us soon."
"Her cousin? The Instagram influencer?."
"Yup. That's the one. Hold your boyfriends tight cos that girl's beauty...."
"I think she's lesbian." Kinfe and Haleema halted, causing Femmy to stop walking as well. The two had a look of disbelief on their faces. They both stared at her as if she were an alien, eyebrows arched,and mouths ajar.
"I mean, I'm not fully sure.... but she looks like she is!." Kinfe scoffed.
"Of course,cos they wrote it on her forehead baa?. Morenike Oseni is an effing lesbian." Kinfe mocked.
"She wears leather guys!,and black clothing,and she chews gum like, everytime I see her." Haleema cut her off.
"Which isn't all the time. You've only met her twice."
"Yeah but-"
"She's not lesbian,babe. She literally just broke up with her pretty boyfriend. Totally straight."
Kinfe sighed, shaking her head. Where they seriously arguing about Aliya's cousin's sexuality? Why did it bother them so much if she was or wasn't lesbian?
"Let's just go to the assembly, before this conversation turns more weird."
