EDMOND'S POV
(Edmond Ehizojie Thompson)

Senior year has been so hectic, the new Vice Principal added weekly tests to senior students all year plan God abeg. The school hall is packed with high school students and teachers. Technically, the school has different assembly halls for middle school and high school, mainly because of the population. I wonder where Espn is, she's always so late for assembly the Principal even talked about suspending her from her position. God forbid, I'd have to work with that mumu SS2 assistant sports prefect girl. Can someone just help me tell the girl that I'm not interested? Every small thing Senior Eddei Senior Eddei with that her fake British intonation, phony oshi.

"Ed I'm here"
I turn to see Espn already helping herself with the chair I saved for her. She really had to put on a choker necklace with her uniform, does this girl want to see Principal hit the roof or something?

"What took you so long Espn, the Principal told us this would be important" I lean slightly towards her chair so it won't be so obvious I am breaking the Principal's number one rule of maintaining decorum when being addressed by a person of higher authority.

Erling is giving a talk directed at the freshmen while the senior prefect girl and the deputies stand beside him below the podium. The Sophomore girls do not even take it easy with the way they are devouring Erling with their eyes. Wahala for who no be SP. He doesn't even make the matter any better, he's always smirking at them and winking when they make eye contact with him anytime he's passing through their block, what a Senior Prefect! This Erling looks different though, shirts properly tucked, hair combed well, tie knotted tight, navy blue blazer buttoned, he looks responsible. At least he knows how to properly deliver duties he's given

"And now I'll be handling over the mic to my colleague, the senior prefect girl" Erling says in his deep voice before smiling and taking a bow

AMANDA'S POV

(Amanda Aderinsola Akinde)

Eddy said they'd be having an assembly this morning and it was important I got there early. He's been quite helpful since I resumed, of course not as much as our dear Nana. Nana sent me the school daily dress code and the school term calendar last night without me asking. I'm beginning to get wary of how nice she's being, are people usually like this or there's something she's trying to get? Humans can never be trusted sha.

I put my white blazers on and stretch my socks up to the top of my lower leg just below my knee and lace my Doc Martens taking in my reflection as I walk past the vanity, spec lomo. I order a ride to school and arrive 4 minutes before time for assembly, even at this, I am one of the first students in the hall. I expected to see Nana already seated but I can't find her anywhere, maybe she isn't the early type. The assembly starts and I spot Eddy already seated with an empty space beside him, probably keeping it for someone.

I spot Erling and Toks with some other students I can't see too well walking towards the podium as the crowd cheer. They don't even offer the crowd as much as a nod, where have they gotten to sef. Erling starts his speech and the same moment my eyes leaves him and goes to the other side of the hall where Eddy is seated, the sports prefect girl walks over to take the space beside him. He leans close to her and it almost looks as if he's trying to peck her head until he whispers something and sits back straight. She laughs slightly but doesn't take her eyes off the speakers. She has a distinct facial feature too, I find her dimples very attractive.
