As the weeks went on, I got used to the routine, I  was no longer scattered and I made it out in record time, I absolutely hated being a junior, because we were always either on our knees or running, the prefects were finally enjoying the taste of power and they weren't even joking, we always ran to the dining, and if you moved your lips in that hall, you'd feel like demons had taken over, they wasted no opportunity to embarrass or brutalise offenders.
Once I was caught whispering and they made me stand on the dining table and eat, when I decided I didn't want dinner again, they took it as disrespect and I was made to frog jump round the hall, I was glad I wasn't made to roll cause that was humiliating, and I caught Lydia smiling, I hoped she'd get caught, but she sadly wasn't. After that I knew never to move my lips again.
Classes were amazing, the teachers were prompt, even the boring ones, I had already learnt the names of most of my classmates and I could have conversations with them especially when we were grouped for projects together, weirdly baldy ignored me, i wondered why, i didn't want it to bother me, but the last time i said hi, he grunted a response before he sort of fled, so I was often talking to Williams, he was fun but a little bit on the crass side, we were together anytime I wasn't with Sharon or Hyelni.
Test week was approaching and in my mind I knew I'd ace it, but before that everybody had been going on about social night. I was secretly excited because it was my first time ever but every time it was mentioned i just shrugged. I saw different classes preparing, apparently every class had to do something, some were singing, others dancing and junior students were even suggesting a drama.
It was break time and I went to meet Sharon, I saw she was trying to finish copying some notes, she was a slow writer but she had the most beautiful handwriting, she said she wrote like that to ensure it was neat,I recall calling her a nerd then and she said "I'll break your head if you call me that" I giggled as I remembered,I finally reached her,walking from the door to her seat seemed like eternity cause I felt as though everybody was staring at me. I finally reached and after the small talk, I asked Sharon what we'd do she just giggled and told me to get my body ready for whatever punishment the social prefect invents, because nobody ever wants to work with the other so they just serve the punishment meant for errant classes. Huh I said wide eyed, can't one person just go and sing or something, I'm tired of the punishments I whined, Just be glad you're not in junior class, because they have it worse or do you want to be the person to go for us?
No I shouted immediately, apart from the terrible stage fright I had, I didn't want to embarrass myself. John walked in as we were talking, I squealed and asked him where he hid himself, Sharon quickly replied in a dwarf cave, It was so funny I snorted, he rolled his eyes and said stop you fighter bull, in reference to me slapping Lydia and me snorting, I smacked his head and he laughed and said prove my point bull.
I knew secondary school was for awful nicknames and I knew I didn't want to be called bull, but Sharon had caught on and she was laughing, what do you want jor,I said as I tried to change the topic, he sat on the table and started talking to Sharon,I felt like I was interfering so I stalked off to meet  Williams, when I reached the class, I saw he was in a heated football argument with the remaining boys, they were banging the tables and screaming at eachother, I hated it when they did this, and they always did, it was either football, movie stars, video games or something that happened in hostel. But they were always loud and violent.
I noticed some boys didn't join in, but they were very few,I laid my head on my desk to sort of rest before the break was over.
I felt somebody touch my ears and I quickly stood up to see John, oh it's you I hissed, he laughed and said who were you expecting, nobody I said what are you doing here?
I was wondering why you left he replied, oh I thought it was private I said, he stared then said cool and walked to join the argument.
It was finally Saturday, social night, I was so excited I dragged Sharon to go early and made her sit at the front. We can't sit here she said, it's reserved for ss3 , oh I said and stood up to look for other chairs, the hall was soon full and after a long wait, it finally started.
It started with a prayer and then they started calling for class presentations, some sang,some danced , it was mostly funny because they were making mistakes and all but i was enjoying myself, when Jesse presented, an official dance group came to dance, they, switched off the lights and everybody was screaming, I felt hot and excited and I completely loved it, then the lights came on and they were break dancing and it was amazing ,I started screaming for more and Sharon shut my mouth, I laughed and stopped screaming. When they were done, it was time for ss1.
They called and when nobody said anything they told us all to go to the stage and kneel down. On our way they told us to go back because somebody had volunteered,I was relieved and wondered who it was as I sauntered back to my chair with Sharon's arm in mine.
Jessie! Come to the stage.
