The civic teacher walked out of the classroom, and the next period was a free period. Segun and Raymond walk over to my seat, bombarding me with unnecessary gist.

I sighed, giving them the "now's not the right time" look, but they just feigned ignorance and started talking to me anyway.

"Bruh, what happened? How much did I miss on Wednesday? Why didn't anyone bother telling me?" Raymond moved his mouth like a parrot, as he bombarded me with questions.

"But I just told you everything," Raymond hissed at Segun, then he faced me.

"Tell me everything in detail!"

"We're boys, we don't gist," I said to Raymond tiredly. "I don't have gist."

"Stop acting like a deadman Ivan, Segun told me you had an argument with Zion."

"If Segun already told you, what more do you want to hear from me?"

"How it happened, in details.." he dragged the word details

Exhaling, I looked up at the ceiling in frustration. I needed some peace and quiet moment, and Raymond wasn't letting me have it. "Fine."

"Yay!" He chirped.

"Listen attentively, cause I'm only going to say this once."

"Aye aye captain," Raymond saluted like he was in the military- he's the silly one, but gets serious sometimes. I believe he just acts like this to distract himself from things going on in his life.

Just like me. Except for the silly part, I don't act silly!

"School closed, and I headed out of the class. Unfortunately, I bumped into Zion outside the classroom."

"Geez Louise!" Raymond exclaimed, interrupting my narration. "Then what happened?"

I rolled my eyes at him and carried on with my story. "I apologized like every other sane person, but he escalated it like a mad person."

Raymond released a loud guffaw at my statement, and I didn't get what was so damn funny. Again, he interrupted me, but I let it slide.

"I can't-" His laughter slowly faded as he wiped a tear from his eye due to excessive laughter. "Then what happened?"

"Well," I dragged, rolling my eyes at him again, "He said somethings about me not deserving Megan's love, while I gave him some reasonable comebacks. My responses aggrievated him and he grabbed me by my collar-"

"No way!" Raymond exclaimed interrupting me for the third time- I couldn't help but groan this time.

"Then what happ-"

"I'm already telling you what happened! Just keep quiet and let me finish already!" I growled at him.

"Sorry."

I let out a satisfying sigh, "As I was saying, he grabbed me by my collar- and spat words to my face. I stared at him dryly, which got him angrier. His useless friends held him back, and Segun arrived at the scene, urging me to go along with him."

"And then Ivan called him an unambitious monkey," Segun said, and that got Raymond laughing his ass out in front of everyone.

"Now can I have some peace?" Both friends scrunched their noses at me like I said a forbidden word.
