Story: High School Lovers [Episode 3]

Episode 3

I was grouped in the same class with Feranmi who was the best student in mathematics, Tunmise who has been my girlfriend right from SS2 first term and Favour who happened to be the President of the school’s Christian Students’ Fellowship. My class, SS3A, was rated the best class in the whole school as we were tagged “the good, the bad and the funny”.

It was a bright, sunny Tuesday. The sun, although up in the sky was shining fiercely on both living and non-living things. Birds were chirping loudly on the palm tree which stood strongly at the middle of the school lawn.

I sat down beside the window peeping through it . I saw two students fighting not far off. One seems to be a senior student while the other one seems to be one of the newly admitted students.

“In this school, it doesn’t pay to send the wrong signal that you are an ajebutter, particularly if you are a freshman or junior secondary student, because you easily become prey to the bullying of hardened ajepakis throughout the term” I said, facing Samuel who was my seat partner.

“Of course, you’re right. Most ajebutters are particularly picked on by the senior students for errands and the declaration of their provisions is their only saving grace if only they happened to be the school son of a senior ajepako who could protect them from the rest of the sharks” Samuel said as he laughed out loud.

Just then, Teemah, Precious and Mildred passed by the corridor twisting their waists and chewing gum as loud as they can. Teemah, Precious and Mildred have always been the ‘happening’ babes of our set ever since our Junior secondary school days.

They seemed to catch everyone’s attention with their classy and expensive style of dressing and the way they always whispered to one another and then giggled about whatever it was that they kept only to themselves.
