Special seventeen

A glimpse of the old me💁

A future where Jesus
isn't pictured
will only be a fiction
of your imagination. -zavize

'I'm going to write jamb this year', I bursted out happily to my little group of three.

My parents at first had refused me registering for jamb this year,they wanted me to wait till next year but with lots of persuasion they finally agreed and that's the reason am so excited.

Wow, am so happy for you, christy said all smiles.

I told you not to worry didn't i, kemi added giving me thumbs up before directing her attention back to her phone.

Really that's good, benedicta said while trying to hide her shocked expression with a fake smile.

But not before I noticed and for the umpteenth time i asked myself why she was my friend.

I, kemi, benedicta and christiana have been classmates since ss1 but we only became closer when we got to ss3 as the four of us became the only girls in a class of 14.

Benedicta is 16 but five months older than me. She's the oldest amongst us and quite sincerely the dumbest.

As friends we had tried to help her until it became obvious she took more interest in fashion and boy friends than her studies and since she didn't care about her low grades why should we.

Annnnnndddd yes, she is the prettiest. Her house is the next compound after mine and we attend the same church, how ironical that we should argue the most.

Christiana is also sixteen just two months older than me, her stature is the direct opposite of her personality.

While she looks intimidating and big, she's actually cool and gentle.

Never count on christy when getting into a fight else you'll be the loser as she's always on 'operation stay out of trouble'.

I love her the most.

Kemisola is the youngest, she is fifteen, as unserious as she is serious. Sanguine and quite...

'Joanne hide your phone',kemi whispered as she stepped on my feet.

Ouch!, i screamed now sighting the biology teacher who was already very near. I dropped my phone immediately.

Thud-!

Joanne and gang hope you're not planning coup, mr Kenneth questioned jokingly.

And that's so not fair, you make it sound like I'm the ring leader, it should be christy and gang, i said looking innocent.

If looks could kill I'd have been on the floor with the kind of glare christy sent me.

Soon i was laughing, that's the kind of joy i get from teasing christy, kemi joined too.

If she gets a hold of the two of you, mr Ken said pointing at me and kemi.

Christy won't hurt a fly, benny mocked.

You've all belittled me, I'll soon show you my true face and if you see my true face you'll run, christy said quoting emmanuela and making us all laugh.

I hope you've all completed your biology notes, mr ken asked looking all serious.

Yes we have, christy spoke on our behalf as usual but this time the main reason was to cover up for benny.

Mr Ken didn't buy it, 'benedicta i want to see the notes on my table and make sure your note is on top'.

We all passed benny the look that said 'the ball is in your court'.
