Why is he bald! I exclaimed, and as if on cue, all the girls started laughing,some went to meet him to ask what happened to his hair. He must have said something totally funny cause the whole class burst out laughing. I didn't hear what he said though, and I was really interested because all though the schools specification for male students was low cut, they didn't say be bald
Who is he? I asked John, that's just Joseph, he likes to be called Teejay though, God knows why, cause his surname doesn't even start with a T, it starts with a Z,ouuuu I like a names ,I said. It's Zane, it's so cool, if I were him I'd rather be called Zane, that's what his younger brother is called though.
Maybe he doesn't want to be called Jayzee cause it'd be a cheesy nickname, Sharon said and I agreed with her.
He went around with the widest grin on his face,saying hi to everybody, he had a deep bass voice that was clashing with his playful and almost childish demeanor. It was weird that he went round saying hi .Nobody else did that, in my mind I said this one looks like a pest. when he finally reached us he said "Sharry Musiqqqqqq", I'll break your head if you call me that again. He giggled and said no promises though because a broken head will go well with my bald head,he turned to me and said hey girl who entered boys hostel!.
My eyes widened and I felt my face go red and everywhere suddenly became hot,I couldn't even think of what to say,I bowed my head down and whispered hi.
He groaned and said I didn't mean to make you embarrassed or anything, it was just really cool then, besides you're the only girl here that has entered boys hostel, that has to be something. Why would entering that disgusting belly of the devil be anything i asked . He giggled and said I'd been where no woman had ever been. That's a lie Sharon said, you know female prefects go there every Saturday.
He giggled and walked away to the next person.After he left I asked why he called her Sharry Music. I sing like an angel she said simply, I thought she was joking but John said it was true and I thought about how that was the coolest and most unexpected thing I found out about my new friend.
Do you know what's weird?, Sharon said, he never talked to girls all through our junior classes, unless you were sweeping with him or doing some sort of group work with him. He was so quiet and mysterious, John laughed and said that's for you guys, in hostel he's a clown, that's what you guys always say, but he never made any jokes while im class and we were classmates for three years.
As we were talking, three girls went in front of the class and were screaming at people to stand up for devotion. Sharon told me they were best friends and they did everything together, they even had a collective diary, that's dumb I said, Sharon giggled and told me how every girl in hostel already stole it and read it. I knew that would happen, do they fight a lot, like cats and dogs Sharon said, but they always get back together. That's nice I said as John stood up and went to join his other friends.
After the devotion, Sharon told me it was okay i didn't carry any books because it was the first day and all that happened on mondays was clean up and assigning form teachers to their classes, and since we were in ss1 we were going to be divided into our classes based on whether we wanted to be in the sciences, arts or social sciences.
I wanted to be in science and I thought Sharon would too but she said she wanted to be in arts,and John wanted social science. That was saddening cause I thought we'd be in the same class. She smiled and told me not to worry because more than half would go to science and eventually drop it when they can't handle it. I knew you'd go for science as soon as I saw you. You look like all these bookish types and you're so uptight you'd blend in perfectly. I'm sure you have glasses somewhere. But I'm not uptight I responded, you are she said, otherwise you'd have been in that cluster of girls chatting over there, that doesn't have to do with being uptight, I'm just a bit shy, she snickered and said yeah right, I know you're not shy, and I'm sure you'll get out of your shell soon.
I couldn't respond to that and I said we'd see, and I do have glasses, but I don't use them all the time, she laughed because she was right.
