P.S: It's the littlest things that come with big meanings, be observant😁

ERIATA ADESUWA AMELIA

I sat down on the chair, Bola on my right, Sophia on my left. My heart was pounding, this was the time I've been waiting for. My fingers were fiddling with my skirt.

"Good afternoon students. We won't take much of your time. We are going to start right now. David bring the list" David gave the list to the principal "We are starting from the prefects"

Names started rolling, different people standing up with big grins on their faces to collect their badge.

"Academic prefect boy, Gbenga Halifax . Academic prefect girl, Okonkwo Joy. Social prefect boy, Ayodeji Jaiyeola, social prefect girl, Eduvie Arieth"

Arieth screamed and hugged Itohan before she went on stage to collect her badge. Ola and Desmond just did a bro handshake.

"Health prefect boy, Ugochukwu Promise. Health prefect girl Adesina Opeyemi"

The loud hiss that came out of Bola's mouth was enough to make me deaf for one week. I stared at her but she was busy staring at Opeyemi like she wanted to kill the girl.

Nawa o. Is this Bola or someone else?

"Disciplinary prefect boy, Ekanyere Osagie. Disciplinary prefect girl,  Adenekan Esther"

And it went on and on. Sanitation prefects, Assembly prefects, Utility prefects, e.t.c. I didn't really care, I was just waiting for them to start calling the Ambassadors

After a very long time, it was finally time.

"Now on to the most important one. Our ambassadors. As you all know the ambassadors are divided into three, academic, social and welfare with four people in each category" I sat up straighter

"We are starting from the welfare. Head of Welfare, Balogun Sophia" Sophia stood up smiling as she went to collect her badge.

"Under the welfare department of ambassadors. Adeyinka Patrick, Adeyemi Tobi and Eriata Adesuwa"

My smile fell. I stood up sluggishly to collect my badge. I wanted to be in the academic department not the welfare department. I collected my badge and went back to my seat. Bola smiled at me and told me 'congratulations'.
"Thank you"

"Head of Social department......"

I should be happy right? I made it, I got what I wanted. I'm an ambassador now right, but I wasn't happy. I felt sad. At the end I didn't actually get what I wanted. I wasn't even head of any department, and as if the universe wanted to rub salt in my wounds.......

"Head of Academic department, Dafe Desmond"

I wasn't angry, I wasn't hurt, jealous, maybe a little but I felt stupid. Stupid because I wasted time holding childish grudges. It was as if something in my brain just clicked and before I knew it is was walking towards Desmond.

"Congratulations" he looked surprised for a moment before it quickly faded away and he pulled me in for a hug. I was surprised, the hug was quick and brief like it never even happened.

"Thank you" he smiled.

I walked back to my seat where Bola was looking at me with a look I couldn't decipher. I raised an eyebrow at her and she shrugged.

"Now on to the most important part of the event. The part that everyone has been waiting for. The badging of the head boy and the head girl and their assistants"
