After I  had met with Cindy, Sophia and Jessica to discuss the final preparations for Emily's birthday tomorrow.
I was  currently on my way back to class,we still had 2 hours before the school day was over. Why I was rushing I don't even know,I just wanted to have my seat,my legs were in so much pain,and I needed some peace and quiet. As I entered the classroom,I noticed that everyone was interested in something Amaka was saying
   "No jokes,I heard he's the hottest, better than that Emmanuel of a boy, rubbish" someone said
    "I don't know why girls go through this stress, everyone knows he's a big Playboy but they still fawn over him" the second person said.
     "I don't really care,sha,Emma is dreamy.
Emmanuel Asinya,every highschool girl dream,not mine though,I don't have strength for heartache, maybe that's the reason I wasn't into relationships. He was cute,I won't lie,was dark in complexion,and at his age his jawlines were already showing,he had very cute eyes.
I had known him most of my life,I also had a more formal yet personal knowledge about him because we attended the same primary school,so I practically saw him as my brother but there was someone else I had my eyes on,not like it was my choice anyway.
    Daniel Sampson
Damn,that boy was a stopper,I had never seen him in person, just pics on Facebook and we chatted once, okay maybe twice,but I won't count the second as a chat, just him trying to be all brave,acting like a bad boy and telling me of all the girls he dated before,he didn't have much though, just 6 to be precise, unlike that idiot I know called Emmanuel,who had dated even our seniors,he was looking at 12 and counting. He needed God, don't you agree.
      I would have loved to hear the stories,but like I said I needed some 'me' time alone,and so I left.

Happy Birthday To You
Happy Birthday To You
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday To You

        I just committed a huge crime and I was not even fully the hostel prefect. I slept in another hostel, imagine if our house mistress had gone to the hostel,then I was in deep trouble.
The smile on Emily's face at 4:22am today,was enough to put all my fears away. Like that song they sing'whatever would be will be'. If it was punishment,then I was ready for it.
    Emily's Smile was captivating to say. It was one of the many reasons everyone loved her,she was little Miss Perfect. The brilliant ones, were always the prefect,but Emily's case was different,she had control,she could say anything and it'll happen that way,no one found fault in her, reason why amongst the lot she was also choosen to participate in the electoral votes for prefects,she was running for Headgirl. 
         Imagine,as the future Headgirl,she chose to sleep in another hostel. YES. Reason why I was also in blue house.   Emily wanted her taste of freedom, before she went in head first for the post,she suggested we all spent the night in Cindy's hostel,in one corner,all five of us.
Remember,how I told you the corners were large for each senior student. Cindy was the only senior in SS2 in the room,and the SS3 had gone for their Waec Break,so more space for her. It was like that in other hostels also,you could only address the highest set of the moment as seniors, SS3,and SS2,when the SS3 had gone on breaks such as this one.
      After singing for her,the five of us, started passing little gifts round to her. Snacks,drinks,etc,we ate that early morning and if not that Cindy had to go do her work I would have just gone on to class. We were about laying down when Jessica said
       "Wait,I have something for you guys, just stretch your hands to the middle and close your eyes"
  Let this be over with,I really wanted to sleep now, couldn't she wait till morning, I faked crying and everyone started laughing, like they knew what I'll do. We closed our eyes,at first I felt a cold sensation on my hands,I held it trying to figure the gift out,when
      "Open your eyes"
I looked at my hands,I was speechless,I think the others were too because there was pin drop silence. Emily's voice brought us back. There was gold in my  hands,real gold, you could see it shining as the first rays of sunlight shone into the room,with the additional light from our reading lamps. It was a bracelet,with the words 'Forever K' engraved in it. I looked at Jessica,how was I lucky to find her,them altogether.

     Back then,we had friendship bracelets,but it was with beads. Sophia and I made them together after our Home Economics practical one day. As time passes,so did it,the thread wore out,or cut or beads broke,but our friendship didn't. Now......Now, Jessica gave us something better, something that'll last forever.
     "Thank you,that was Cindy,she hadn't said a word since. We all looked at each other and got into a tight group hug,our hands in the middle and that's when I saw it. I was wondering what the letters stood for but I understood it now
Forever _ K
Forever _J
Forever _C
Forever _E
Forever _S

                        JECKS
How the name came about,I can't remember, just that it did. It was our names first letters used to form the group name.
  We had to hide it for the meantime, jewelry wasn't allowed in school, except for the goldstudded earrings,but this law was always bypassed by senior students. We'd wear it after school, Tonight, during Prep,with our matching daywears.
As a boarder,you had 3 major uniforms
1: School Uniform. An Ash coloured skirt and tie,with a milky shirt.

2: Daywears. A checked material of White and Your house colour,blue,pink, yellow,you name it. Worn after school everyday,it was basically our tag.

3:Sunday wears. A green straight cut gown with white borders as designs. Worn only on Sundays.
