LILY'S POV

"No, don't worry," Noso groan for the seventh time, I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for him.

The situation right now is awkward, well not for me though for Chinoso. Truth is I'm not even surprise with Esther, I knew her niceness towards me this morning was fake and way too sudden but I couldn't help the irritation I felt and was still feeling now when she used me to get close to Noso. I didn't even know she had a crush on the guy, not like I cared. And right now she was being annoying and overbearing poor Chinoso.

"You fit stop to dey touch me" I was brought back from by thought by His complain when Esther try to hold unto his hand again.

"....can even carry your bag for you, I don't mind oo," she kept saying not caring about what he said latching onto his hand again.

"I can manage on my own," he huffed pulling his hand from her again.

"I know I jus...," She started saying when I cut her off.

"Are you not meeting your friends again"? I asked giving her a knowing look.

"Friends? Oh friends, I will just meet them at school," She replied slyly.

A few minutes and many groaning and whining, later we finally arrived at school. Chinoso could not say his bye fast enough before practically running to joined his friends. Esther had quickly ask to join us when we go home later which I shut down before walking away from her, there was no way I was going to let her use me to get close to a boy.

The day drag by as usual, it's was now our last period before closing hours and then extra lecture can start when our class teacher entered our class, holding a small bowl, we all stood up greeted her and she gesture for us to sit down as she stood in front of the classroom.

"Alright, the long awaited moment is here. In this bowl," holds the various topics that each and every one of us who applied for the debate will talk about." she said indicating toward the bowl she holding.

"So I want you to step forward together and pick one piece of paper each and after which meet me in my office to register your topics with me." She finished placing the bowl on the front desk.

I got up along with my other classmates who also applied for the selection debate, we walked to the front of the classroom and pick one piece paper then went back to our seats.

I opened my piece of paper and read out the topic I got quietly, which says "Should Every student have to participate in sports/PE"

"now that you have your topic, you are either for it or against it, good day." She said and left.

I quickly put my stuff together preparing for our extra lecture all the while thinking of ideas and point I could use for my debate. Not long after the bell is ringing for closing and Vivian is boosting in my classroom.

"Let me see, let me see, let me see," she demanded bouncing up and down.

"Hold your horses girl," I laughed and brought out my topic for her to see.

"Oh wow this is nice," she nodded in agreement and place her's on the table. I picked it up and read it "Private schools are better than public schools."
