I woke up at exactly 7.00am on Monday which is my first day at my new school...
Yeah, dad got transferred from his former place of work to where we are right now, he is a secretary at state department of education. That's why we relocated and my younger sisters and I have to change school as well. My mom is a nurse ....
I hurriedly prepared for school, then I checked on my sisters Chizzy and Simdi and mom told me that they have gone to school already. "Dindu, this is a new school that you and your siblings are going to and it's one of the best schools in the city so be careful of your actions and take care of your siblings" mom said
I sighed "ok momsy, bye"
Grambell High is not that far from my home, so I got there within 10 minutes . I am in sss3 which is the final year of high school . I find my way to my class and of course I am already late to the first period. I knocked lightly on the door and the whole class turned there attention to me. Phew! the drama begins now.
"How may I help you dear" the teacher asked.
"I am your new student ma" I replied nervously . Though I tried to hide it. I am a dude you know and a dude need to be confident and bold but I don't like attention. I am 17 and handsome but I don't like attention or much crowd
"Why are you late?" she asked
"I woke up late and I am sorry ma" I replied truthfully with a little bit of arrogance"
The students gasped.
"Go and find a seat and this is your last grace", the teacher said with a hard look on his face.
I entered the classroom immediately and almost the whole seats are occupied except one. I went there and sat down on the seat. The class went back to it's calmness and the teacher started teaching again. Then I noticed that a girl is looking at me non stop and she is sitting by my right and whenever I looked her way she will avert her eyes.. Actually I don't want drama in my life at least till I am 18 but my handsomeness will not allow me to live my life the way I want. Call me egotistic, I don't care. Even from when I am just 14yrs I have started receiving love letters from girls my age and even younger girls but I will always discard them. From 16, even older girls are hitting on me for friendship but I rejected them all. But I didn't fail to notice this one here and I hate distraction and she is going to be a distraction. She's slender, average height for a girl and light skinned.
I wouldn't say she is my every day spec but I kind of feel some connections to her .
After the classes I left the classroom immediately to canteen to take lunch, there I met two dudes from my class and we instantly become friends and they introduced themselves as Ken and Tochi. They are one of the popular kids here. But they are cool and humble.
So I bonded with them . I wanted to ask them about that girl in our class but changed my mind... I want to get to know her on my own. After the school activities ended that day, We were dismissed from school and I left the school with my kid sisters
After we took lunch, I rested for a while. I made sure that my kid sisters also take their siesta as well . I heard a noise at the door and I knew that mom was back..
"Good evening mom" I greeted her
"Evening dear, how are you"she replied
"I'm good mom" I said. She went to the kitchen to drop the bag she came back with. She noticed that I am dressed up in a Sports Wear."It seems like you are going out hon, where are you going to and where are your sisters" she asked.
"Mom I want to get to know the environment and see if a team could take me as their player" I replied her coolly
"Son are you sure this is right, did you tell your dad, why not join the school football team". she asked cautiously
"Mom I'm not a kid anymore. I will be back on time and don't worry about dad I will explain to him later" I assured her
"And for my sisters' whereabouts, they are in their room, bye mom" And I am off.
Trekking to the field didn't take me much time because it's not that far from our house. When I got there, I met some guys from my school and I socialize with them. Some of them that are playing football gave me the idea to join their team but I refused to do so.
I want to watch them to know which team is competent enough for me to join.
They stopped pressurizing me as soon as the game started. To the first half of the game, the players where already exhausted and I thought they won't be able to continue because the match was really tough. I assumed that they must be the best teams in town. When the game came to an end both teams scored one goal so their fans went home happy because no one is defeated.
" You see these two teams, they are the best in town and it's always hard for one to defeat another" Sorom one of the guys from my school said. I discovered that Sorom is a next door neighbor. So, we trekked back together. And he is also in Sss3."I think I will join one of them, precisely the red team" I responded to his comment.
"I love the way they're organized" I added
"That's great, my cousin is one of their players, he can help you to meet their coach"
Ok, thanks dude, I will appreciate it.
I said goodbye to him when I get to my house
Daddy is already back and they're about to take dinner and I greeted dad and of course he asked questions of my whereabouts and I answered well, end of story. He also asked my sisters and I about our first day in school. After the dinner we vacated the dinning room to our different room to rest for the day.
And dreamed about a special someone..
