EDMOND'S POV

The week just started and I'm already feeling like an old man. Coach noticed my extra effort in the last game though and he seems pleased. We have to bring the decathlon cup home next term by force and by fire.

The decathlon is a combination of events as the name implies, I rep the school for basketball each year and last session; my first year as the basket ball captain, we lost to the 'Mystics' of Middleton high. Normally we'd play much better than the nuggets in Middleton but most of our men were down. It was only Amir, Senior Erkee and I from first team that played, Phil, Paul and Kylian had injuries, Hakeem and Hassan our favorite Sheffield twins had a family emergency so they couldn't make it to Lagos therefore leaving Sheffield 'Gladiators' with just three star players and a bunch of substitutes. At the beginning it felt like we could handle it and there wasn't any pressure, but as they say; never underestimate your opponent. The Mystics major forward started by scoring a three pointer in the fifth minute. To cut the long story short at the end of the first quarter we were losing at 27-36 and we were not finding it funny. With all the pressure we put on them for the remaining quarters we still ended up at 68-77. We were all speechless, including coach Adams

Nowwww moving on to current life status.

Trip has built a certain wall around herself that I tried to break for a whole week. She's been getting embarrassed by teachers and mean students like Amaka lately about her grades. Personally I don't think she's dull, I feel she just needs the right teacher. I invited her to the extra classes I and some other students hold every Wednesdays and Fridays but this girl outrightly ignored my letters and texts. She even promised to come once but I ended up staring at the door of the biology lab for 2 hours to see if she'd come in.

Then I decided that it seemed she didn't like group classes, maybe a personal tutor would help. I suggested this to the principal thinking she'd tell me to be her tutor. She said she wanted a 'female' tutor to teach a 'female' student hmph! What's the big deal with tutoring when its not like we will be doing it in each other's houses, it's the library for peach's sake. The tutor the principal picked was what amazed me the most I mean, couldn't she at least have picked one of her friends????

AMANDA'S POV

"Hello, did you come here to sleep" a low voice says. I've definitely heard that voice before

I raise my head up slowly while yawning and stretching. I rub my eyes to focus on the person in front of me.

Holy ghost fire! Please who did this to me!!

I hold a staring contest with amber contact lenses I'm never glad to see. I'd have preferred if it was even that nonsense Mr Richards that was my tutor, not this freak. On a second thought God forbid sha, God knows I can't survive with that man but this witch is equally as bad. Out of all the odindi SS3 science students in Sheffield High why Toke??

"Are you my tutor?" I grunt

"Aww she's added two plus two already I see you've started improving" she remarks with a sardonic smile

I hate my first class already

"Why did you take the offer? Couldn't you reject?" I slam my hand on my school bag beside me
