CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: NO FOOD FOR LATE COMERS
"So... well, are you guys planning to tell her today?" Victoria asked as she looked at both of us one after the other with a curious expression
"Of course, during evening dinning" Morayo answered willingly before standing up and walking to her bunk
"Yeah, me too" I said as I turned my focus from Morayo to Victoria
"Whatever" Victoria said as she looked away and prepared
Suddenly the bell rang....
In this school, I noticed the bell rings for any occasion either dining or classes period or even to go to bed which the school call, lights out
"Girls, it is time for dining. The cooks have already started serving the boys, they said if any girl comes lates, they will not serve the girls" a female shouted from the corridor to alert the girls
"You better let's go, I can't miss yam porridge because of your slowness" Morayo said to Victoria jokingly
I stood up as well as I held a spoon on my left hand ready to eat and stay healthy
"You must love all the foods in this school" I said to her as I turned to face her
"Not exactly all the foods in this school, just exclude pap and moi moi (baked beans) and even sometimes, the school beans can be so disgusting and sometimes pleasant to eat" She informed me
"Watch your mouth, Morayo. The prefects are nearby, they will hear you" Victoria warned her as she stood up from her bed
"Whatever, let's just go" Morayo said not even nervous that the prefects might just hear her
I even wonder what the prefects will do to her if they hear? Is it like a bad thing for students to say their mind out about the foods?
"What will the prefects do if they hear what she said?" I asked curiously since I don't seem to understand why
"It is not like a bad thing but, they will reduce your foods when it comes to the food you mention that you hate" Victoria explained
"Oh!!!" I exclaimed already understanding the reason
At least, it is not bad. Yeah, it is not bad since you don't like the foods
"It is not bad!" I stated to them
"Yeah, it is not bad for some students but, it is bad for me" Morayo broke in
"As in how?!" I asked curious on why it is a bad thing for her
"It is a bad thing for me because, I will eventually like the food just like, beans" She answered as she turned to face me before looking at her front
"You and food eh" Victoria said shaking her head as she smiled
Yeah, it seems that Morayo likes all the foods. She just wanted to feel among when others hated some specific foods made by the school cooks
Suddenly, we started seeing some girls coming back from dining in disappointment. Or maybe, I am just over thinking
Girls murmurs started to become loud
"Oh god! Hope it is not what I am thinking" Morayo complained already looking worn out. Lol!
What does she mean by the way?
"Don't yet conclude? Let's ask one of the girls coming from dining" Victoria said as if giving Morayo some hopes
Now, I am already feeling out of the group
What are they talking about? What do they mean by that?
"What do you think happened?" I asked confused
"The looks on the girls faces that are coming from the dining is not good at all, they look disappointed maybe, the cooks refused to serve the girls" Morayo explained
The cooks refusing to serve the girls? That is brutal. It will make the girls go hungry
"I said, you should not yet conclude. I will ask someone now" Victoria said as she walked to a girl and talked to her "the cooks refused to serve the late comers" Victoria said to us as she walked towards us
"I knew it, that was why I forced you to be fast with what you were doing" Morayo said in disappointment and annoyance at the same time to Victoria
"It is not as if I was playing? Or, did you see me play?" Victoria said supporting herself
"Late comers? But, the girls bell just rang not too long ago" I stated already confused at the same time
"Yeah, it might have sounded not too long ago but sometimes, the bell rings ten to twenty minutes later after the dining started. That is why, some girls that goes to dining early are our bell. They tell us when and since when the dining had started to alert the students. Didn't you notice that a girl came to alert us immediately the bell rang?" Morayo explained to me opening my mind
Wow, that is another thing I have to learn
"Next time, I am not going to wait for anybody that delays me" with that Morayo walked to the hostel alone leaving Victoria and I behind
"Does she have anything to eat?" I asked worried for her
"Yeah, her mom gives her provisions as if she is staying here for a year. There is no need for her to worry about food" Victoria explained as we walked to the hostel together
"Then, why did she leave us like that in annoyance?" I asked Victoria confused about the way Morayo acted
"Nah, no worries. She will get over it, let's just give her some space. Morayo have never been annoyed because the cooks refused to serve late comers. It will take more than that for her to be annoyed" Victoria explained
Well, we should just give her sometime to enjoy her provisions till she is satisfied then
By the way, "Vanessa, she didn't walk with us today" I said to Victoria
"Maybe, she is the dining. She must be eating there" Victoria shrugged
Yeah, maybe so. She doesn't really have what to eat so, for her missing dining is like hell to her, I guess
"I am also hungry, I will go eat from my provisions" I said to Victoria as I walked ahead of her
It seems, Victoria doesn't really eat. I'd that why she is slim?
I am not fat nor slim, I just have body. Lol! But, to be honest. I am neither
