Transparent

Chapter 43- Pushing boundaries

This chapter is dedicated to a certain birthday girl that made me commit to completing it and dropping it today, happy birthday child ❤️

Introducing a new POV somewhere in this chapter🌚someone I'm sure we've always wanted to get in their head

It's not that one you're thinking sha, we're not getting inside that one's head soon😂

AIDAN'S POV
(Aidan Timini Aniye)

I tap on my headphones repeatedly till the volume is at the maximum level but still the loud voices of the stone head roommates I have keep filtering in
My thumb hovers above the skip icon of Spotify, immediately tapping on it as each song is shuffled. I finally let it rest when Fazil's 'Fiona' starts to blast into my ears. For some reason I've been open to listening to love songs lately

My lips spread into a grin at the thought

Of course I have

I flip open the cover of my ipad, taking the pen out of its holder and moving closer to the desk

Let me get some useful work done at least

I get down with scribbling, drawing, highlighting- whatever would make my revision fun. Most people still find it quite hard to believe that I actually enjoy studying, which is why I'm a top student. I'm just not a nerd like Toke- that reminds me- didn't the principal ask me to tell her something regarding organising for the last day?

I don't give it that much of a thought, if I've forgotten then it probably wasn't that important and besides they'll always get the job done anyway

We decided not to have a study session together, that everyone would just do their own personal revisions and meet briefly tomorrow morning to touch a few areas.
It was thoroughly my decision really, almost every member of the group is still in a foul mood following our embarrassing loss in the swimming competition. Especially Tobe

I knew he was going to be pissed- furious even- but I had no idea he was going to beat himself this much about it. From the moment our last swimmer was finishing and the points were put up on the score board, I could literally see his ears smoking as he marched out of the arena. What made me almost laugh was the way Justin stormed out of the arena moments after in the same manner.
It was giving father and son with hereditary anger issues

A deep chuckle escapes my lips but I catch myself immediately. I'm being a terrible friend

Where is he sef?

I squint my eyes to see through the blurry window I'm facing but all I see is streetlights and the flies twirling and buzzing around the luminous halos like tiny dancers
I scroll down my screen to view my notification pane and all I see are chats from our class group as usual yamming off about the competition when most of them are not even here. I tap on it
