The bell had rung three good times, that is to say, we have missed three classes, one more to go before the closing bell.
The principal had said that if we get tired before the closing bell, we should go and apologize, if not, we should continue till the end of the day.
"Kharo.....I'm.....tired" I pant. As a matter of fact, I am a panting mess.
"Let's pause for a while" she says.
We sit at a corner, trying to regain our breathes.
"Oh! You guys are resting? Keep going. I never said you could rest. If you can't take it anymore, go and apologize" we both turn to see our principal who was now standing beside us. We didn't even notice when she reached here.
I slowly turn to look at the obese woman talking gibberish.
"Ah! Principal ma, what happened to these students" Mr Balogun, the vice principal asks, I didn't even have time to decipher where he came out from.
"These two have disrespected my orders. They blatantly said no to my orders. Can you imagine?!"
"Oh....seeing their current condition, I'm sure they regret it"
Regret ke?
Keep dreaming. I roll my eyes.
"...can I have a word with you Mrs Sade?"
After few minutes of discussing what I have absolutely no idea of, Mrs Sade, the principal, throwing glances at me occasionally, they finally walk towards us.
"You should thank your stars Mr Balogun pleaded on your behalf. You can now go back to your classes"
Kharo was already up, picking her stuff and ready to go, while I, well, I just sat there, my heart still beating violently in my chest, threatening to break out of my rib cage. I could practically feel the heat radiating off my body. My body is so, so weak, I don't even trust myself to stand to my feet.
"Madam!" The principal calls and I know she's talking to me.
"Stand up and go, before they will say I have punished someone's child."
It takes me all the strength I have to stand up from the rock I where I sat.
I stagger a bit, but I still manage to walk a few steps, but I abruptly stopped due to the sharp ache in my head. I raise my hand to touch my head. In a second, Kharo was by my side.
"Anita. Are you okay?" She wraps her arm round my shoulders
I weakly nod.
"Her body is heating up. She needs help" she frantically says.
"What's that one? My friend stop that nonsense. Stand up and move before I lose....." I didn't even have time to process what she was saying.
All I could see was red and black, my eyes were acting weird.
What's happening to me.
"Juanita!? Juanita?!" The way Kharo was shaking my body was not making me feel any better. If anything, it made my brain go into a frenzy.
"Wait oh my goodness! Jua....Mr Balogun what's happening to her?" I could hear their voices like it was....their voices were so distant, yet so close.

Brenda's POV
"Okay Brenda, one more shot and we are done" the photographer tells me.
I give my best pose, bringing forward one of my legs, through the slit, tilting my head back, chest out, narrowing my eyes, in an attempt to look sexier.
"Okay, that's it. Wow! These pictures are awesome!" he says.
"Can I see them?" I ask as I walk towards him.
