KIISHA

Second term was always the most interesting of all terms due to the various activities that engulfed it. Our inter house sports, cultural day, founder's day and even Valentine Ball would be holding soon and we were all looking forward to it.

"Did you come with your clothes?" Kiishi asked as we all settled down on our beds after arranging our stuffs, Kiiti had just finished telling us about her holiday at Canada.

"Yeah"

She turned to Kiiti, "What of you?"

"I came with them"

"Do you know there'll be a contest on the cultural day for Miss and Mr. RGC which will also come out during the inter-house sport, so will you guys be contesting?" Kiishi asked.

I shook my head, I don't have interest in stuffs like that.

"I'm not," Kiiti responded.

"Okay, so do you know there'll be awards during the Valentine Ball?" Kiishi asked.

I turned to her in surprise, how did she know all this? Someone that always buried her head in books and was less concerned about the happenings in school.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Well, you know the Social Prefect Girl is Dumininu's cousin so she told her about it"

"Now, I get"

"So which award?" Kiiti asked.

"Best couples, most romantic couples and stuffs like that"

"I'm certain this will be interesting, we didn't do things like this at ROL Academy," Kiiti explained with dancing smiles.

"This is actually the first time here too though we do interesting stuffs too," Kiishi explained before she turned to me.

"Did any interesting thing happen last week that we didn't meet?" my heart skipped a beat at this question as my mind went back to the kiss, I can't possibly tell them what happened.

"That's even true," Kiiti added as she tucked her legs beneath her.

" Emm...," the noise from outside stopped me as we all ran out of the room to feed our eyes.

On getting out, we realized Rihanna and her female gangs were arguing fiercely with the room J.

"I'm here to give you my last warning," Kemisola shouted as she pointed at Zion, Kenneth's assistant, she was in SS2 SPECIAL and was the best female swimmer as well as the best female commercial student, Olumide, the principal's son was the best male.

Zion grinned without humour,  "About what?"

"Stay away from Ambrose, break up with him," Kemisola shouted. So this is what the noise was all about, they were fighting over Ambrose, that imbecile that always believed he was handsome.

"Who is Ambrose?" Kiiti whispered and Kiishi answered her.

" He's one of Rihanna's male gang and is Kemisola's boyfriend"

"Oh," Kiiti nodded.

Zion scoffed.

"And if I don't?"

"You've really got some nerves to ask such a stupid question sha, Is it because we've not treated your fuck-up?" Rihanna shouted, she was beside Kemisola who was raging in fury, Dumininu wasn't with them but was rather at the entrance of room F, their room.

Munat and Uloma who were Zion's roommate clapped to convey their stupidity. Munat was Zion's best friend and was also in SS2 special while Uloma was in SS3 and was Dumininu's cousin and was the Social Prefect Girl.

"You're talking about nerves, what gut brought you to our room?" Uloma asked.

"I wonder oo," Munat added.

"Aunty, no one called on you oo," Rihanna snapped.

"Me or Munat?" Uloma asked, she and Munat were one of those people who didn't fear Rihanna's gang.

Rihanna's gang were a powerful gang feared by all. They could do and undo.

"Now back to you, boyfriend snatcher, just because you and Ambrose met at New York during the holiday doesn't give you the liberty to seduce my boyfriend," Kemisola shouted as she pulled Zion's hug shoulder gown, no one had changed into their hostel wear.

"So it's because of Ambrose that you came to constitute a nuisance, he doesn't like you again, so I think you should accept that fact or better still jump into the lagoon and drown yourself," a slap landed on Zion's face immediately she ended the statement.

Everyone gasped, palm to cheek, Zion glowered at Kemisola.

"This is just a warning, so back off or you'll get your piece," Rihanna warned as they walked away but Munat pulled Kemisola back and returned the slap.

Soon a fight ensued as we all watched in amusement, the brawl was short-lived due to the appearance of the hostel mistress who summoned them to her quarters.

"I can't believe they were fighting over a guy," Kiiti said as she shook her head.

"Some girls are shameless jare," Kiishi said as we all walked back into our room.

A junior in SS1 came to our class and announced the Principal wanted to see me, Jared and Joshua immediately the bell was jingled for break.

We sauntered to the Principal's office, Joshua and Jared were trying to talk to me but I ignored them, it had been a week since the kiss incident and I hadn't talk to Jared though he'd tried reaching out to me several times but I blocked him.

"Good afternoon ma," we greeted in unison as soon as we entered her office. She responded our greetings and the door opened as Demolu, Idiat and Yimika walked in, they were all in the Science Class, SS2 DISTINCTIVE.

"Good, now you all are complete, so there's a competition known as the InterswitchSPAK where SS2 students across the country will compete for the position of the Best Science student in Nigeria and the winner gets rewarded with a 7.5 million Naira scholarship"

We all gasped at this and our eyes widened.

"So there'll be a written exam by April to qualify for the second round which is on TV, this is still January and you have a lot of time to prepare, one of you must come out as the winner"

"Okay ma," we chorused concurrently, she said some few things before dismissing us.

"I think you have no other choice than to talk to me," Jared whispered, I glared at him. Well, that was the truth, I think I'll let go of my anger so far I had no other choice, the six of us will have to study together from now on in preparation for the competition.

"You know I might not talk to you," I deadpanned.

He smiled and I looked away quickly.

"You just talked to me and you know not talking to me is impossible," I'd wanted to retort but the appearance of the Maths teacher stopped me.

He ordered us to go to the JETS Club room and on getting there, he enlightened us more on the competition and drew out our study schedule.
