"Erdoo "

Great ! Just what I needed.... Note the sarcasm
That annoying voice can only belong to one person, Omatayo. My worst enemy . How ironic ! Omatayo means ' someone who brings joy " yet all he do is torture me and why ?? Because he's the freaking head boy... Like it is a big deal .
" Erdoo "
I was already pissed off and hearing his voice only made me more mad. I walked on down the hall ignoring him completely. Just then his voice stopped and when I thought he had left me, I heard footsteps behind me

" Erd.... "

"What ? What ? What the hell do you want from me Tayo ? " I growled glaring at him furiously
" Erdoo "

"NO "

" But Erdoo ...... "

" NO "

"WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY TAYO, THE ANSWER IS A BIG CAPITAL LETTER NO "I hissed and stormed out
Useless goat......

Dear diary

It's been three years, eighteen months and two weeks since I got into Romain high school and I still have no friends. But luckily after nine months and a few weeks I will be out of here but who's counting?? ( smiley face )

But who would want to be friends with a plain old Jane . Maybe Nori is right, I should let go of all my insecurities and fix my trust issues ... If only all eight therapist I have had since I was fourteen helped .... But this is different. I might never have friends again after what .....

I sighed and shut my diary. Locking it and making sure noone could get to it, I carefully slipped it into my back pack. Having a diary at the age of seventeen is indeed childish and like the kids in my class say this days " not so demure ".

Believe you me, I was against the entire diary thing at first. It was Nori's idea. She said
" Erdoo I know you don't have any friends so I got you this book to talk to and....."
She hasn't finished talking when I grabbed the book and threw it in the trash.
The whole idea was stupid and I was so mad she had to bring up the fact that I had no friends. That night after I came out from the shower, I found the diary laying on my bedside and I ended up writing in it. I looked around the class and watched as everyone hung out, chatting with each other and laughing. There had been no assembly today because the teachers and the board were having a meeting on how to prepare us for our upcoming WASCE exam so everyone were busy with one or two things.

The class door pulled open drawing my attention.Demilare walked into the class with Mr Wright and Tayo. He seemed incredibly pissed which wasn't new. He always had this grim expression and always growling and fighting with people

And you'd think someone as cute as him could do something better.

The class immediately fell silent and everyone scurried to Thier seat except for Moremi of course..... Apparently she's an oba's daughter so she kind of feels superior which is bullshit considering the fact that everyone of us comes from a wealthy family.

Tayo looked at me and grinned.i sneered looking at anything that's not his annoying face.
Demilare walked over to his seat and sat down ignoring the series of eyes that turned his way when he pulled his chair out loudly.

"Spoilt brat "I mummured then turned my attention back to Mr Wright that was now searching the room with his eyes, his dark gaze fell on me and I froze

Did I do something wrong ? I ironed my school uniform, my hair is done In a neat knotless braids, my shoes are... Wait did I forget to do my assignments? No I never forget an....

While I ransacked my brain for reasons why Mr Wright would look for me he opened his mouth and said
" Erdoo are you okay ? " he asked.
My heart skipped a beat. Am I okay?? How the hell am I supposed to answer that question??

" I asked Omatayo to tell you to lead the morning assembly, he said your reply was no "

What the hell ?? I glared at the grinning Omatayo.
Fuck him ..... What the hell 8s wrong with you Erdoo?? Of course you don't want to fuck that peice of shit.

" I am fine sir but Tayo..... " He cut me off
" Because you somewhat got the position of the schools social prefect doesn't mean you should disobey your teachers.."
What ?? I didn't disobey anyone....
" But sir...." I tried to defend myself but he cut me off again
"After school, sweep the schools compound "
"What the fuck I didn't even....."
" for a week , no curse words in my class Ayilara Erdoo. You shouldn't forget that I am older than your father and...... "

You wish. Mr Wright was in his early thirties and my dad in his early fifties but for some reason he feels older always making that stupid statement.....

I completely tuned him out as he went on and on about discipline and respect. I am so killing Tayo after Mr Wright leaves.

" A new student from Greenland academia had been transferred to your class and..... "
That caught my attention. I snapped my head up.

A new student ? In S.s.3 ? Why would the school accept a student in an exam class ?
Only then did I notice the tall , fair guy standing behind Mr Wright. He was looking at me ?? Me ??
He smiled at me and raised his hands waving a little
What the hell was that ? I turned making sure it wasn't me he was waving at but it was me, his gaze was deeply fixed at me. It wasn't the look one give to a stranger. It was almost like he knew me already. He did look familiar almost like.....

Hold my fucking horses

That bloody face! the statue! the hair ! could it be ? No way ! I shook my head in disbelief , He was in Lagos. I glance at him again. His lips moved
" I missed you " he mouthed
My jaws dropped. I couldn't believe it, it was him. It was...

" meet your new classmate izaegbegbe Samir...... "
