Chapter 5: Day has its eyes.

Jss2.

Lola.

As the five-hour drive came to an end and the gates of triple c high became clearer, a mix of anticipation and dread rushed over me. 

Anticipation because I'd finally be able to see my friends after the new year holiday plus the fact that we finally got juniors last term means we'd no longer be the bottom rung on the ladder of seniority. Halleluyah.

Dread because I'd be stuck in this place for months and I'd basically be a glorified servant cause hello, Junior student right here. 

Plus no phones, no laptops, no electronics equals no manga and no anime. Sigh, woe is me.

The drive was just fantastic so we're off to a great start,

I mean, who wouldn't want to spend hours in a car knowing your destination is the purple chasm, while your brother is off to Cameroon with the rest of his set after they already spent the previous term in Togo? Me, that's who. Hmph.

ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴏɴ, ʙᴇ ᴏᴘᴛɪᴍɪꜱᴛɪᴄ ʟᴏʟᴀ, ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴛᴇʀᴍ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴀᴡᴇꜱᴏᴍᴇ, ɪ ᴄᴀɴ ꜰᴇᴇʟ ɪᴛ. ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴀᴋɪɴɢ ʟᴇᴍᴏɴᴀᴅᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏꜰ ʟᴇᴍᴏɴꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴀᴛ?

First of all that is a really stupid saying, because how many people honestly like plain lemonade? I can assure you that the number will be really small, the value will likely be in the negatives. 

Schweppes, however, would be a much better alternative, so let's go make Schweppes out of those lemons.

Can I go back in time to 30 minutes ago and slap myself? 

I can feel it? Seriously? I roll my eyes.

Uhh, way to jinx it, Lola. We are not off to a great start, not even off to a good one. MAYDAY MAYDAY!! Permission to abort mission? I repeat, permission to abort mission?

ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ꜱᴜᴄʜ ᴀ ᴅʀᴀᴍᴀ Qᴜᴇᴇɴ ʟᴏʟᴀ.

I'm not a drama queen, this is the response of a rational human being. Anyone who had just heard what I did would surely act the same way.

Can you imagine that after we got through that five-hour drive, this school had the audacity to say that they made a mistake? 

That they initially posted the wrong information and that tomorrow is the real resumption date so can we just come back tomorrow? 

Really? REALLY? Sure no problem, we don't mind driving 10 hours in Lagos traffic today and doing it all over again the next day. No, we truly don't mind. Smirk.

Just hit my skull with a hammer while you're at it because you might as well kill me. And since you want to act like you don't have sense, suggest something equally idiotic, why don't cha .

And when we asked why we were not informed, they said that they sent each parent an email but that it seems that some were undelivered. They 'seemingly' just discovered that fact today when some students showed up.

ᴀᴘᴘᴀʀᴇɴᴛʟʏ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴍɪꜱᴛᴀᴋᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ꜰᴇᴍᴀʟᴇ ꜱᴛᴜᴅᴇɴᴛꜱ. ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴡᴇɪʀᴅ.

We were already arguing with them but once my parents confirmed the presence of other girls, they immediately packed up and left. ᴡᴀʏ ᴛᴏ ꜱʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏʏᴀʟᴛʏ ɢᴜʏꜱ. At least show some reluctance, you won't see me for the next 4 months at the bare minimum.
