TOMIKA ADEKANYE ( KOOKIE'S SERIES)

4

         It was the first Saturday after resumption, everyone enjoyed Saturdays, no classes, no activity and of course they always had socials on Saturday which every one looked forward to.
      Tomika sat in class, her textbook on the table and notes surrounding it. She used this day to study. When others were playing in hostel, she was there reading.
'When did you leave hostel, idiot was looking for you' Idiot was the name she and MJ had given Monique.
'Why, what did I do this time'
'It's not only idiot that was calling you sha, this babe, what's her name again sef...ehen,  Cleopatra'
'Ah ah na' Tomika whined
'Babe, hostel was dirty as fuck, thank God we have post o, if you had seen the beatings our classmates carry from her ehn, omo nor be small, then ss3 girls na came too o, they beat ss2 girls because they re the ones in charge you get, then ss2 girls beat  our classmates again. Hostel was hot.'
'I'm just imaging boys hostel'
'The guys hostel is neat o, if their hostel is dirty Senior jay will kill them first before senior Alex do e own'
'After they panebeat him too'
'Its weird two of you having the same post'
'We don't even talk'
'But you could. You have a high chance'
'You nko'
'I'm a school usher,you're hostel prefect, he's hostel prefect also'
'Abeg stop talking about Alexander'
'Admit you like him' she rolled her eyes giving a long hiss
'Don't hate them because of Damien o'
'Abeg end this convo doh.' The bell rung indicating it was time for food.
'Thank God, that time keeper nor sabi tell time o. She's 5 minutes late'
'Goan carry the work from her na since you can tell time better'
'Common keep quiet. When you were time keeper could you tell time'
'Are you trying to tell me something MJ' Tomika replied with a raised brow. MJ rolled her eyes at her.
'Can we go before we start running, if I run today when I stop, I won't be able to walk again'
'You still have the knee pains.'
'Yeah, especially when I run or do any sport.'
'Its not like you do sports before.' Tomika replied. MJ smiled. She remembered that fateful day when Tomika had been rude to senior Damien because she could not do sports because of her leg. That had been the reason Tomika hated him and everyone around him. 'why are you  smiling'
'I just remembered something' Mary Jane said grabbing her tots bag from the chair.

'You don't want to leave this bag alone abi'
'Its fine abeg, you that carries purple everywhere nko'
'I don't. This is one of the few purple things I have' Tomika said showing MJ her own tots bag.

'You have more, I even saw Danielle's product in your box'
'So? I like purple na' she replied. As they got to the end of the building, students who were in school block had already started running. Looking forward, Isabelle Mbah was standing at the end of the slab so they started running till they passed her.
'Why did that one not run' MJ said looking towards a girl who with a smile walked towards Isabelle and hugged her
'This school is not fair, so because I don't hug her I should run, I'm going to hug her'
'Idiot. Iz Mbah go just nack you slap, you go start to dey run.' That made the girls laugh. They entered a very silent refectory looking round and finding Jeremy in their row, they quickly went to their seat and rested their heads.
                   *****************
'Alexander!' Jordan shouted in middle of the refectory. Alex got up with a smile, he knew he was in big trouble with Jayjay.
'don't smile and meet me o, I will just slap you' Alex fake frowned his face making Jordan smile
'What did I do this time'
'Before I answer you, middle of ref, find immaculate' he said and entered ss3 row
'Jayjay naaa' Alex whined, Jordan glared at him showing that he was serious. Alex entered his row
'Immaculate, sp punished us in middle of ref' Alex said and walked away not giving her time to ask him why. He left the row and knelt down in middle of the refectory, immaculate came and joined him
'If its because if hostel, I will kill them when I find them'
'I'm telling you' immaculate replied.
      After some minutes, a junior student came to where they knelt down telling them that the sp was calling them. They stood up and went to meet him, kneeling in front if him again
'You can punish your boy, I never knew' Dominic said from the table in front if where he sat. Jordan stared at them for some time before biting his lower lip with a smile. Alex chuckled which earned him a playful slap from Jordan
'You don't have sense, you know abi' that made him laugh out. Jordan shook His head.' I wanted to kill both of you yesterday but I was like, just leave them, then today una still stupid'
'Please excuse me senior williams, please what did we do yesterday' immaculate asked with a fearful look, asking him a question wasn't all that good, Alex turned to face her with a shocked expression
'Do you know who you're talking to ' Alex whispered, Jordan looked at her with a bored expression using his hand to rub his temple
'I'm sorry' immaculate said looking down. Jordan rolled his eyes
'Alex, Goan call your assistants for me. The next time I miss class because matron called me, make sure its not because of hostel unless I will break both of you. Xander, you know what I can do. Get out.' Alex got up with a smile
'You missed class because of hostel?'
'Did you think I was making it up. Its because you are Iz mbah's baby thats why she hasn't killed you yet'
'It would have been sweet seeing you sweep hostel'
'You really have a death wish don't you. I see why Damien hates you'
'I don't  hate him. He's just an annoying little brother' Damien said suddenly. Alex grinned showing his beautiful dimples.
' I remember sending you Alex, why are you still here'
'Oh yeah, my assistants, be right back.' Alexander said and left.
