I'm not Miss Perfect.

Chapter 1

"Ayo, let's go" Ire called out my name  while staring at his phone screen, the iPhone Dad got for him is entering his head, I thought. Well, that's my brother for you...Cute, annoying and a maths geek. Only God knows how people like him don't care much. "I'm coming." I replied after getting my bag on the dining chair.

"Okay." He replied while sticking his earpiece into his ear, I could hear the music he was playing from his phone, Rema's Beamer. I just rolled my eyes at his choice of music and walked out if the house while he locked the front door. Boys will always be boys.

Mum called a few minutes ago praying for us as we were resuming school and entering new classes, My mum's a doctor so she is mostly on night shifts.
My dad's driver was taking us to school today because of that.

I greeted the middle aged man while Ire sat in the passenger's seat struggling to greet dad's driver. What's up with him?

Our school is just a thirty minutes drive, so we arrived early..and on the first day too. Mum would be pleased.

Ire just stormed out of the car which puzzled me, I thanked the driver who shrugged at me before catching up with my brother.

"Ire." I shouted his name as I ran up to him.

"What?" he snapped, which caught me off guard.

"I'm fine, okay. I'm just really stressed out."  He said immediately he saw my reaction, looking away from me.

"Okay,sorry about that." I managed to say, I knew the football incident got to him. He was to play with some of his friends but he had to take me home.

"But you should know you are the best big brother I could ever ask for." I blushed at the end of my sentence.

He smiled sheepishly at me which made me smile too. "Now let's go, this one that your head is about to burst." I shook him out of his thoughts and walked to the school gate.

I was surprised to see the new renovations but also I was impressed.

The school's name was written bold and brightly on the building, New Horizons Academy, Ibadan. I was really amazed as how the school auditorium was decorated nicely, new field equipment, and the white paint was looking beautiful. As nice as the school could be, the school board sometimes can be so annoying especially our Principal, Mr. Iyiade.

Walking into the auditorium, I felt welcomed back to a place full of drama and where I actually feel more needed. I saw the Junior Secondary School students looking bright in their new white shirts, blue-black pinafores and knickers. Senior girls wear high waist skirts while boys wear trousers.Good thing everyone have their uniforms unlike last year where half of the whole school was in mufti.

I found a seat upstairs because that's where Senoir students seat. A lot of people greeted me on their way up, some Ire's classmates and friends, some people that I talked to once in a while when they needed a shoulder to cry on, I just like helping.

"Ayo!" Someone shouted my name. I turned around and saw it was Ife, a friend of mine.

"Ife mi" I replied.

"What are you still doing here?" I asked.

"I just came to pack a few things and see my bestie one more time, I'm going to miss you" she said the last part and her voice was cracking, the water works.

"I'll video call, okay love." I assured her and she gave me a watery smile.

"Your dad got the promotion you all prayed for, and that's all that's important" I said while wiping her wet face, " Besides, you left me with your cousin, Jade so don't worry, okay?"
