Our School: Last Virgin Standing

Chapter 15

LAYO'S POV

Wait oh, my eyes must be seeing double abi if it's not that then my menstrual cramps must be getting to my eyes and giving me the wrong image.

Abeg what is Stephanie Ngozi Chidioma looking for in the boys toilet? Not even the ordinary boys' toilet but the one for ss3.

The speed at which she ran out was even the weirdest; she clutched her chest and tears hung to her eye like those small fishes to a shark. Not willing to let go. Any little drop of the tear will lead to a total outburst.

From my VIP view on the floor, I got a swift look at her but in that tense moment, I saw how her eyes were filled with hurt, she was trembling and as soon as she realized who it was on the floor, her eyes couldn't meet mine.

I heard footsteps approaching. Probably a boy, but then, I was caught between waiting to see who the possible perpetrator was and going after my friend. I quickly stand up and dust my skirt; ready to give whomever it was a piece of my mind.

Some seconds later, the person wasn't showing so I just go after Stephanie.

She probably ran towards the school garden and I quickly make my way to the south of the school which is where the garden is located. I ran past the big compass in the middle of the school, going in the direction pointing south.

The more I ran, the more the hot sun dealt with me. The sun in Nigeria these days could really melt the whole of Antarctica.

Just as I was about to make it successfully to the garden without being caught because it was break over and if you're caught two minutes after still walking up and down outside your classroom, you will be punished, the dang assistant head girl caught me.

I really wished the floor would just open and swallow me up. The scorching sun and my freaking out friend is one thing but getting humiliated by this shitty Tito is another. I don't understand what's wrong with her Cohorts sef, just because they have a prefect friend; they now believe they have power too. The mumus cannot even be used as diaper changers in a crèche not to talk of being prefects.

"Kneel down there you this stupid girl; can't you see that break is over already?" I did not answer because it was one of her friends talking to me and she has no right to do that.

"See the ode we are talking to, can't you hear what she said?" her other friend said, moving closer to me. I moved back and replied the two air heads; "I only take orders from the brilliant assistant head girl and not her friends that are the opposite."

"Are you implying that we're dumb?" One of them yelled.

"I implied it, you said it yourself."

I make my move and turned back so I can finally find my best friend thinking I have sent them to school. But then she queen that has kept mute since they apprehended me finally talked.

"Hold it." She gives her bag to one JSS3 busty girl that always walks with them. As she moved closer to me, my hands started getting moist and I was getting really nervous. This girl is the devil's incarnate and she commands fear even more than teachers sometimes. Now that I don't even have my squad with me, I am finished.

As soon as she got right in front of me, she pauses, looks me directly in the eye and kicks my left leg, causing me to fall.

The impact of her shoe that felt like iron was really terrible to my fragile legs. I had a minor bone injury on my left leg and that kick felt like it was to send me six feet under.

I clutch my knee as I collapse to the ground. Tears built up at the corner of my eye but I did not want to budge. I couldn't look weaker than I already am in front of these bullies.

Another pain type of pain enveloped my knee as if it just got the message and this one, oh this intense pain shot up to my spine making me feel like a wounded cat. Helpless.

"Now where is your ugly, flat squad now?" one of her friend asked me in mockery of my situation. She made a fake sad face and rubbed my head before she said a hypocritical "Sorry hen."

"Oya talk now, talk, shebi you get big mouth na, oya I dey hear you." She laughed and clapped her hands before Tito finally spoke again; shutting her two butt kissers up.

"Now kneel down you this idiot before I sla-" As she raised her hand to slap me, the boy with the dimples showed up and held her hands.

"Tito what is your problem?" he yelled at her. Her eyes widened and her lips dilated, it is so obvious that she's surprised about dimples boy's sudden intervention. I shoved the intense pain down to my stomach and I make a failed attempt to stand up. I know he's saving me but I can handle it on my own.

"You and these elephant friends you're carrying up and down, you-"

"Dude we're not fat we're thick" One of her friends said.

He just lets out a loud laugh and rolls his eyes. "Indeed. Come on get out of here and go and shake your fat yansh for your boyfriend, when God was sharing sense you were absent that's why you're dating the Yoruba teacher."

"David ill get you for this." She snaps her fingers, her friends scramble behind her and they walk away. Not forgetting to sway their behinds of course.

He helps me up and then sends me a lovely smile. "Hi I'm David and I'm really sorry, it's because I refused to date her, he's now taking it out on others."

"Um thank you... and um....okay bye." I quickly limp my way outta there. Not because I am ungrateful or embarrassed or something but I just really need to get to my friend.

But instead of letting me go, he pulls me and my chest hits his chest. He smiles a bit due to the contact.

My throbbing leg gives up as I turn around. I fall down again and he lifts me up.

"Stop holding me like that, you wan put me for trouble?" I yell.

"Oh she speaks pidgin." He said, his hands moving to my waist and he pulls us to the right at the back of a tree. He knows I can' walk not to talk of run so he takes advantage of that. He pulls me closer, so close that I could feel his breath fanning my face.

"She also wants you to leave her." He laughs again, mischief evident in his eyes. Although he has such a melodious laugh and really really nice set of teeth, he's still a jerk.

"You've not told me your name."

"Girl that hates boys that takes her hostage."

"But you love me soooooooooo...." He laughs again, obviously enjoying the situation.

"Just let me go to the garden abeg, my friend needs me." I soften up a bit, he doesn't know why I am in a hurry so maybe telling him will make him budge.

"Okay then, your wish is my command." Hr lifts me up and starts running towards the school garden.

"Leave me alone...are you....I say leave..." I manage to say in between laughs and plenty back slaps. We finally get to the garden with me laughing like a fool in the arms of David that turned out to be my superman. Maybe he can use his humor to help Stephanie feel better sef .

As we got to the entrance I met Steph with her bag, already exiting the place. As her eyes met mine, tears began falling down her eyes.

"So you were involved with this bastard and you knew everything too then you have the audacity to come an show me your love life? You bitch." She clutches her chest and runs out of the garden, still crying.

Before I could as David for an explanation, he drops me down without a warning and I land on my back.

Ouch.
