Lily's POV

After the assembly Vivian and I went to the principal office to apply for the scholarship we passed by some of our classmates and lower classmate who also had gone to applied, our principal had told us that after the end of all applications our various class teachers will inform us on what to do next.

Right now I was in my classroom read a book it was a free period after our biology class, when Amara our class Rep cleared her throat to try and get our attention.

"Excuse me class," She called out as she goes to stand at the front of the class, when most was still not paying any attention. "Hello!" She shouted this time causing some person to jump in fright, and some to cringe from her very sharp voice, but anyway she did get everyone attention.

"Nawaoo for you oo, why you shout like say they press your neck na"? Seun a boy at the back questioned frowning while rubbing his ears.

"I yus tire, she wan deaf person ears," Tolu another boy responded.

"Common na you guys should listen na," Amara groan out.

"Hey because we voted you class representative nor mean say make you they do anyhow oo," Mabel a girl at the sitting at the center of the middle row voiced out.

"Exactly,"

"Yes oh,"

"Incase you forget,"

"Just know,"

Various response from different Corner of the class filled the room.

"You people should let her talk now," let say why she almost made us deaf ehn." Ada another girl said.

"Okay  listen, our class teacher asked me to inform the class, that is mainly the students who applied for the scholarship," she announced, and some students stared throwing out question and some just hiss and other groan.

"Wait let her finish na, if you didn't apply let people that apply hear abeg," Tina a girl shouted from the back.

"Alright, alright, settle down everybody or I'm writing the name of noise Maker," Obiora our assistant class Rep said feeling frustrated. Thankfully everyone settle down.

"Please just let me finish first and if you have any questions you can go to her", she pleaded. "Alright moving on, she said to let you guys know that as from tomorrow afternoon each student will get their debate topic at random for the final selection of who is represented our school for various senior classes." She continued.
"Wait oo, I'm has not finished, Also  the debate is taking place coming Monday and the time table/arrangements for events latest Friday, so you can start you preparation now. She quickly added letting out a breath of relief as she finished, and went back to her seat.

Noise immediately filled the class again, I tune it out processing the information that was just delivered. If the debate was on coming Monday and today is Wednesday, that means we only have about 5 days I mean 4 days to prepare for it, I'm sure it because the main event was taking place the following week. Just as I open my book to continue my reading our Civic teacher entered.

"Is it her period already," I mumbled make a move to check the time on my phone to find out we were already about 7 minutes into period. Oh wow how did I not hear the bell  ring.

We stool up to greet her then proceed to bring out our notes and textbooks, the periods went by like that until it was time for break. As usual I meant with Vivian waiting for me outside her class, we went to get lunch making small talk on the way after which went to our usual spot only this time it was not empty. There stood Chinoso in all his glory hands in his trousers pockets leaning on the tree with one leg on the ground and the other one bend behind himself against the tree, moving his head back and forth to match the beat of the song he listening to from the eyepiece his wearing I'm sure.
