Word spread pretty fast and by lunch time every student who had a mouth was talking about the handsome new student in the senior science class. It was not a surprise to Sandra when she saw Amaka and her minions with shiny lip gloss on their lips and three buttons of their school shirt unbuttoned in order to show their cleavage in a way that leaves little to the imagination.
'Just look at that,Amaka looks as though she had a lip gloss bath in the toilet,ugh,how disgusting',Yemi chided.
'But Yemi, weren't you planning on doing the same thing,abi is Simon no longer your official final year crush?', Sandra asked smirking.
'Oh please,I wasn't going to be that extreme. She looks excessively desperate. Everyone knows why she dolled up like that and I wonder if she isn't embarrassed'
'You all are on the same quest so maybe that's her own way of drawing attention.'
'Oh my God Sandy, why are you even siding Amaka of all people or is that your own strategy of winning Simon?'
Yemi's statement earned her an eye roll as they walked briskly to their table with their lunch tray containing jollof rice and a juice box. To Sandra,it was a waste of time to be bothered about things like this for two solid reasons. The first reason being that the students at Preston are known for their loose morals and in a week or two,the new guy would have probably slept with half the school's population of girls and then later settle for a girlfriend,crushing the dreams of all other girls. Secondly,she was just a plus sized girl who had little to no social status and was constantly bullied by her peers. Simon will definitely not be interested in her.
After settling at their table Sandra said,'Listen ore mi,Simon is the least of my problems right now. My dad is already on my neck with my WASSCE and JAMB. With all the craziness going on at home and at the drama club this term, I really can't factor Simon in.'
'Thank God I'm not the president of any club yet. Your team members are doing a great job at driving you crazy'
Being a president of any club was usually assigned to students in their final year but the previous president left the school to another hence Sandra,the vice president, was given the position in SS2 and still held it in SS3.
'I'm honestly exhausted. I just can't wait for tryouts to be over. The online videos they were supposed to send as an introduction during summer are already a handful. Some didn't even bother to follow the instructions for the video while some sent almost an hour long video when all I requested for was a three minute video.
'One hour?!',Yemi exclaimed,' What were they doing for one hour?'
'My dear,you don't want to know. The main thing on my mind now is how to devour this food right now because I'm starving',she said and they both laughed sharing a knowing smile.
*****************************************************************Muted ah's and oh's were heard as Simon walked into the cafeteria. He was 6'5 tall with broad shoulders and tremendous biceps coupled with a dark chocolate skin and the lightest shade of pink for his lips,truly he was a sight to behold as everyone instinctively left what they were doing to stare at the Greek god that graced them with his presence. Amaka wasted no time as she walked towards him twisting her waist in an unlikely manner.
'Whore',Yemi silently muttered as Sandra broke into a hysterical laughter.
'What's funny?'
'Oh nothing. Its just nice to see my ever confident friend get jealous of Amaka because of a guy',she replied between hiccups of laughter.
'I'm not wrong though. You and I know that Amaka's a whore who'd sleep with anything male'
'Nobody said you're wrong oo',Sandra replied with a teasing smirk.'Lets drop the talk already and focus on how I'll deal with the drama club audition ok?'
'Whatever',Yemi said, feigning anger
*****************************************************************
'Everybody listen up',Sandra announced. 'I've looked at all your videos and while most put me off,some impressed me.You must all be aware that our club has always been the 3rd best in the state but this year we are taking the trophy home. Therefore not everyone will be accepted because we want only the best. I won't judge you by the horrible videos you made instead the assessment will be done physically'
She looked at the nervous students before her and continued,'Today is Monday,so I'll give you a few days to prepare and on Friday we will have the official audition. You will be tested by your ability to become one with the character and your accuracy in front of the existing members of the club. We will only be admitting ten new actors so if you are not sure of your skills, you had better start registering for other clubs,is that clear?'
'Yes senior!',the students replied as their voices echoed throughout the large theater.
'You are dismissed',she said and watched as the swarm of students trickled out one by one before letting out an exhausted sigh.
