"Hey, Ronke". Lilian called her shyly the next morning.
Suprised, Ronke went to meet her .
"Hmm, I am sorry, hmm, I know you are suprised I called you, well I just wanted to talk to you". Lilian said.
"Is that why you called me?, it's alright". Ronke asked turning to go.
"Please wait". Lilian quickly said.
"What is it?" Ronke asked her.
"Ehm, can I borrow your biology note ?. Lilian asked nervously.
"But we just resumed". Ronke replied looking amazed.
"Yeah, I know, my ss2 note got misplaced so I want to rewrite it". Lilian said..
"Well, my note is not with me or better still borrow from your boyfriend Kelvin". Ronke snapped.
"Are you angry with me?" Lilian asked her with a small voice.
"I guess you know a lot of girls are beefing you". Ronke replied her, " But anyways I don't hate you and please drop this baby and nervous act of yours, for goodness sake you are in ss3 , wisen up, this acts of yours get on my nerves, you are just lucky Kelvin likes you if not he won't bother with girls like you, you are damn too slow and you are beautiful, use it to get what you want, don't allow your mates and juniors fiddle with you".
"Well I am going, come for my note tomorrow".
"Beatrice!" Ronke called her during break, "I can't do it," She said bursting into tears.
"Why can't you?" . Beatrice asked frowning. "You have to muster up courage, I don' t want anything to befall you, see,". Beatrice said pointing towards the window as Lilian and Kelvin passed holding hands and then smiling at something Kelvin said.
"Do you want this to go on, you just have to do it".
"No, he will still notice me, I believe it". Ronke protested weakly in tears.
"When, when?, is it now that we are in our last lapse of secondary school?, it is not possible dear, make use of your opportunity because Opportunity comes but once."
Must we go through this again?" Beatrice asked impatiently when Ronke said nothing.
"Okay, I will do it, I can't let her snatch him from me". Ronke said with fierce determination.
"Okay, now go, don't let today come to an end if not it will be powerless and that's it". Beatrice said pushing her out.
"Okay bye". Ronke replied as ahe went out.
"Ronke what's with you?" Dupe asked her when she left Beatrice,
"Dupe, how far , I have something important to do, I will see you later". Ronke said quickly without giving her as much as a glance and rushing out.
"Ronke, " . Lilian called her.
Quickly putting what was given to her in her mouth, she said the things she was told to say as soon as she got to where Lilian was.
"Ronke". Lilian called again.
"I just decided to greet you ". Lilian said patting her gently on the shoulder.
"Hmm". Ronke replied
"Ehm...Have you eaten, come let's eat, the bill on me". Lilian promised.
"No thanks, you don't need to buy me food and I am not hungry". Ronke replied going..
"Oh..."..Lilian said trying to hide her dissapointment by forcing a smile...." can we go home together?" She asked Ronke
"Okay" Ronke replied..
Truly she wasn't hungry, she was feeling guilty and sad, "how could I," she asked herself. Lilian who has been so nice, who even came to talk to her, only if she knew that the person she liked and wanted to be friends with, was plotting evil behind her back. Ronke wanted to cry.
"Headie" Some groups of girls hailed the head girl as she passed them.
"Head girl tò sure". Ronald said.
"Hmm, please all prefects are needed at the hall". She announced.
"Joan, head girl". Jessica shouted.
"Hey, Jessie". She called back." Talk to ya later".
"Prefects please, lets just get seated, lets not make a noise".Joan the head girl said to the prefects as they entered the hall..
"There aren't enough seats". Someone shouted.
"Please let's just manage, those that can stand should please just stand, I beg you all". Joan pleaded.
"Kenny please do something, Ebele please assist me,". Joan said to the head boy and her assistant.
"Jephtha organise them". Kenny told his assistant.
"Ronke" Seun called her, " You are late and there are no chairs".
"Don't worry, I will stand". Ronke replied.
"Excuse me". A baritone voice said.
"Oh boy!" Ronke gasped as she noticed she has been standing beside Kelvin.
"You can sit on my chair ". Kelvin continued, getting up..
"What!" She gasped trying to get her breath. "Oh no thanks, I will rather stand". She said trying to hide a blush.
"No, no, no, my mum told me it's manners whenever you see a girl standing and you give her your seat, forgive me , but cos women are weaker human" with a wink, he stood and moved aside.
"Oh boy!, thanks". She muttered blushing furiously.
"I don't think I have seen you ?" Kelvin told her.
"Don't tell me you don't " . Ronke said looking suprised.
"Well, obviously I don't " . He replied frowning slightly.
"Well, I am Ronke Olatunbi". Ronke replied.
"Ronke!, oh you are the Ronke they talk about". Kelvin replied smiling.
"Really! Who are they?. Ronke asked smiling back...
"Relax, nothing bad, infact all good" Kelvin assured her grinning.
"So what class are you?" Kelvin asked her.
"Ss3 ofcourse". Ronke replied.
"I know, what arm are you?" Kelvin asked.
"Commercial" she replied. "Ss3 commercial bronze". She added.
"Bronze, hmm, that's cool, I heard that's the most lively, noisy and lot of atrocities class" Kelvin said smiling lightly.
"You can say that again". Ronke confirmed grinning.
"Then you must know Lilian". Kelvin said.
"Yeah, who wouldn't know when she is obviously dating you". Ronke said.
"Yeah". Kelvin grinned.
"Please Ronke and Kelvin please the meeting has started". Joan called with the microphone.
"Ronke, I pity you, lilian will kill you". Some girls shouted, while other simply said "hmm hmm".
Embarrased, Ronke brought out her phone and pretended to be busy while Kelvin gently touched her shoulder and grinned.
+Finally, I know it took long to be updated and the starting seems boring but please hang in there..and I wrote this book when I was in jss1..+
