Life is full of surprises.Like we don't get to know what it would offer us tomorrow.
Tina's POV
"Will you two just stop fighting and go back to your classes."I shouted.I had severe headache yet Nelson,my brother,was fighting Evans.Nelson was that brother that I alwalys relied on.No matter how mad at him I would be,he always found a way to make me laught.To bring a smile on my face.Leave alone that,he was that protective brother to me.Nobody who bullied me and thats wht he was fighting Evans.He was feared by many students in my school but I never feared him.I respected him as my older brother.Here I was trying to pull them apart so that they could stop fighting.Evans had just began making jokes to me .Being the prefect on duty and the Dinning Hall captain i bet i was expected to keep everything in order in the school compound.
"Seriously Tina,have you seen how the D-hall is?hahahahaha i mean look at you,being the D-hall captain and moreso the prefect on duty the hall looks like a street.Plates everywhere,tables unwiped,table clothes everywhere and the benches are totally disarraged hahahahahaha."Evans had told me earlier.He didn't know my brother was earpiercing whatever he was saying.
"Why don't you call your brother to help you and yet he's the sanitation prefect hahahahahhaha?"He continued.I said nothing and just decided to make my way back to the class and prepare for the next time.I was that cool girl.Quiet might not be the best word to fix there.i was the kind not to argue.Taking one step from him,i heard a scream.I did not want to look but you know curiosity killed the cat so i looked.But i didn't believe what I saw.My brother and Evans were on the ground already.My brother on top of him punching him.He deserves better. I told myself.
I didn't want to pity him but i couldn't help.They had attracted this large number of students and i knew better to stop thdm before the teachers sensed something.So the best I could do is shout at them so they could stop.Nobody who had heard me shouting and that made it.The moment I shouted all their attention turned from the fight to me.I couldn't believe myself either.Shouting or fighting was my last thing in my list.Though I sometimes got annoyed,I didn't show it out.I always hid my emotions.I never wanted them to occupy the best part of me.I was always silent.Sometimes I wondered the qualities I had to become a prefect or rather the dinning hall captain.Syl's POV
Why is she always smart?Why is she so cool,so innocent?Why does she always stay with boys and not her gender?Why is it that her brother is always so over protective to her?I wondered as i walked back to class after witnessing the fight between her brother and the other guy.But there was one thing that I couldn't myself to believe.Did I just hear her shouting?I mean woow she deserved a clap.Despite being the D-hall captain ,she never talked alot.I mean it was strange hearing her shout but guese what she looked so beautiful while mad.Who would have thought that that nerd ever talked?I was one class ahead of her and as much as I tried not to pay attention to her i just got myself lost in dirty thoughts while she addresssed us.She was always the best in her class but she barely talked and so my aim was to hear her talk to me.I knew her brother was a big threat to me but this force kept pushing me to her.
Don't get surprised but I had marked all her movements during break times and lunch hour,and who she walked and talked with.I expected to see her with her fellow girls in cafetaria but so bad ,she always had different groups of boys every lunch hour.Was she a slut a whore or what?why boys all the time?why not girls?and why is it that she has different group every lunch hour?I found asking myself as I walked to my table where I sat with my friends.Emmah,Ben,Cyrus and Andrew.I cant explain how we became friends but with Ben we used to be keybolist in the church and that's how we got to know each other.The rest came to be my friends later maybe because I was sharp in the class and most students consulted me if not thd teacher.
