CHAPTER EIGHT: FACING FRANCIS

We walked to the dining hall together and mehn! You could smell the yam from outside the dining hall

The smell made me hungry, I just hope the taste of the yam tastes nice

We sat on a long bench and long tables where students sat on also

There were many benches and long tables in the dining hall. There is even a demarcation for junior school dining and senior school dining

Also inside the junior school dining, there are three rows, one row for each classes (grade seven, grade eight and grade nine) since the rows were long

Hungry students walked into the dining, both male and females in junior school uniforms both in groups and some alone

Then after waiting...

A prefect counted the students on my table

Seems, they are ready to serve us our breakfast

I knew she was a prefect through the batch. No one needs to tell me that because my brother had that when he was in junior school and now has it in senior school

He was the head prefect in junior school and in senior school, he is the assistant head prefect and president of social activities in the school

My brother is intelligent? Yes, born with big brain

My brother is social? Well, a gift from God

Then the prefect brought a very big cooler to our table and brought another cooler, then serving spoons and twenty plates since we are twenty students on our table. Only females to be precise.

She served two pieces of big yams in each plates, then served the fish sauce as Morayo called it because there are always plenty fish in the stew. The prefect then put plastic forks inside the each plates

After serving, the plates were distributed to each students on the table

I got mine, then prayed to it before eating

"Yum... As I always expect it to be" Morayo exclaimed as she ate her food happily

"Yeah, it is delicious. I never expected it to be good" I said as I cut my yam into smaller sizes before eating

After we ate,

"Let move to assembly before the teachers start punishing students" Victoria said as she carried her empty plate with her

I stood up and backed my schoolbag well as I took my empty plates into the big bowl of dirty plates since Victoria also put hers there, the same as Morayo

We walked out of the dining together and just then I spotted my brother walking with a girl with a prefect batch

"Francis!" I called him

Victoria and Morayo looked towards my direction and noticed the person I called

"You call your brother by name?" Morayo asked

I nodded, what is bad there?

"I call mine with brother as the prefix, like brother Francis" she shrugged

Well, not everyone are the same

"Francis!" I called again and this time my brother looked towards my direction, the same as the girl before the girl walked out

"I am coming, I want to go talk to my brother" I said as I excused myself to walk towards my brother's direction

"Hey sis, it seems you got yourself friends already?" Francis smiled

"Talk to me, tell me the things you never told me that you guess I will hear from other people" I said ignoring the part he said

"I told you not to pay attentive to rumors" he said looking away

"Tell me the truth Francis!" I ordered

He turned to look at me "Okay, talk!" he said

"Did you kiss Gabriella, mouth to mouth?" I asked him seeing the frown in his face

"Floral, do you believe that?" he asked me looking into my eyes

"I ask you a question first, yes or yes? Did you kiss her lips to lips, yes or yes?"

"God, Floral!" he called my name already frustrated

"I trust you Francis but you know the rumor is spreading" I said looking at him

"Yeah, I know. I am already getting used to it" he shrugged looking at me

"But I can't still believe Gabriella will say that"

"Yeah, I heard she did. You know who Gabriella is already. She is like a snake in human body" he said with full sincerity

Yeah, I know that. Gabriella is a kind of person that looks down on people, betrays, cunning and not someone that should be trusted with secrets

Well, I don't hate Gabriella but love her since she takes us as her siblings since she doesn't have one

Francis hates her from the time she was six when she did something unbelievable to him an now, the rumor she spreads before she left for China. I can't blame him for hating her

"I need to go for dining, my school dining staffs prepared us potatoes" he said mentioning his favorite food

So weird!

"Francis, trusting you now doesn't mean I will trust you later on. So don't do anything annoying or I will pull your ears" I said smiling

"Yes ma'am!" he said and left for his dining

I watched as he walked to his dining before going to meet my two friends waiting for me

"Let's go!" I said as we walked on

"The two of you together is so cute" Morayo said smiling as she looked at me as she continued walking

I smiled back without saying anything

We got to the assembly just in time, assembly is about starting already

Victoria, Morayo and I queued according to our classes, as the students joined in

By my right grade 7C boys queued and by my left grade 7D boys queued

The assembly went on with Christian prayer and the Muslim prayer before the national anthem, then the pledge, school anthem and school pledge follow by announcement made by the principal

After the assembly was held,

I followed Victoria and Morayo to our class, I decided to get a vacant seat to sit on since all the tables contained two seaters and Morayo and Victoria have already gotten were to sit

"Sit behind us, the boy siting here sits alone" Victoria suggested
