"You people should hurry up with that iron, biko! You don't want me to iron my graduation gown ni?" Somadina yelled, popping his head out of the door and looking into the hall way, where most guys were lying up to use Denola's Iron. How Denola was the only one that thought of bringing an iron to school still baffled me, because no other brought apart from him.

It was Graduation morning and the entire boy's Lodge was in a frenzy. Though, probably not as frenzy as it was in the girl's lodge. We were hearing the noise from their lodge all the way down here and mehn, it was crazy loud. It's just Graduation na, abi?

Okay, I take it back.

Graduation is way more than that.

Leaving High School is the highlight of being in high school. It is the highlight of your high school experience

Graduation is very emotional, no matter how hard hearted or strong willed you are.

I was arranging my cloths into my bag, laughing when the guys began to reply Soma with words like chillax or calm down or better don't bother ironing. Soma got back to the hostel pretty late, hours after Prom had ended and everyone had retired to their rooms. Mateo had been awake then and told Somadina to quickly iron his gown but the latter was too tired to even change out of his tux.

"When I asked you to come back to the lodge in time to iron your gown, you decided to stay out with Vanessa doing only God knows what." Mateo fired at Somadina as the latter walked back into the room, looking all grumpy and mumbling incoherent words to himself. Somadina gave Mateo a look, I almost thought he was angry.

Please, not this morning.

"For your information Mateo, Vanessa and I haven't had time to really discuss future plans together and that's what we were doing yesterday. Apologies for not being like you and Skye who have everything figured out."

It probably wasn't supposed to be a jab but it seemed like a jab, especially when Mateo kept mute instead of giving Somadina a witty come back like he usually would have. I wouldn't know because I didn't even know what plans Skye or Mateo had. It just made me realize how I didn't include my twin sister in my plans or vice versa.

"You and Skye have made plans already?" I found myself asking Mateo who looked at me longer than usual before he shrugged. I could sense the tension and the hesitation in his demeanor. I knew immediately that something was up but I didn't know how to get him to speak.

"She wants to school here in Nigeria." He revealed and I stopped folding my cloths, frowning at that revelation.

Skye wants to school in Nigeria?

"I'm surprised." I told him and he let out a humourless chuckle, shaking his head.

"So was I..." He trailed off, shaking his head with a somewhat sad smile playing on his lips. "I honestly didn't know how to take the revelation when she told me. but what more can I do than to support her?" He asked rhetorically.
