The Final Year (PROJECT 2.0)

Nausea

Hmph!

I squealed as he lifts me up in a hug, twirling around at a spot, i clenched the lapels of his red blazer, trying to hold still.

He carefully puts my feet down on the floor, right in front of him. A big grin right on his face. Okay....

That was unexpected...

"What is with the exaggerated hug?"

"Am just so happy to see you" he stated. I play with the strap of my backpack before nodding.

"Why were you standing in front of my class? " I asked him curiously, he gave me an uncomfortable smile.

"Waiting for my friend?" that was what he said.

In front of my class?

I stood on my tip toes taking a peek inside the class by the open door. Evans Kanu was no where to be found, i stood straight, throwing a raised eyebrow his way. His next statement left me with no words..

"I miss you " Akorede said softly. He stood before me with a calm, strange look in his eyes.

"It was only four days" I finally managed to spill out. He shrugged.

"Does it matter?" he asked. I shook my head my eyes running through his physique.

He was properly dressed in his complete uniform. His school ID card hanging by a tag on his neck. The prefectship badge, a shiny silver tag with the words LABOUR PREFECT written beautifully on it.

He rarely wore this but i guess it was due to what was happening today, due to it being a Monday after mid term break.

After the assembly there would be general clean up of the school by students and prefects are meant to oversee this exercise.

That is when you will see  junior students hiding away in the toilet in other not to engage in the exercise but they always get caught.

The highlight of the day are the latecomers, those who thought it wise to come late for the devotion and assembly. They are treated like condemned criminals by prefects.

I wonder how my mates will fair because during this period which is a duration of three hours, the staffs normally hold their meeting so it is like giving Ss3 students the to power to control the school for three hours.

"KK!" he turned to see who was calling him. It was Bankole who gave me a big smile before waving as he got to where we stood. "Good morning Tolani... You look refreshing as always" he winks causing me to blush in embarrassment.

Bankole ehn.

I look up at Korede when he cleared his throat giving Bankole an annoyed look. He asked if we were heading to the hall i nodded and informed them that i needed to drop my bag in class.

They both waited for me, we went to the hall together. The two of them on each side as we walk.

It was such a shocker when i got to the hall to see that it was almost filled up and there was a loud silence. If you drop pin on a cushion seat, you will still be able to hear it due to this silence.

Thankfully we took the back route into the hall. It seems that was where Akorede is stationed for today.

Where the tyrants and truants of the school normally sat. And i swear they sit up looking rigid with fear as soon as they sighted him.

It was so exhilarating to watch. Especially the Ss2 boys. They turned mute at the mere sight of Korede who only sweeps them with a blank look.

But we all know that look wasn't ordinary. It was a silent threat to anyone who dared defy his authority.
