947 Words
I looked away trying to break the eye contact between me and Dera because I was beginning uncomfortable.
"Do you think she likes u?" Jeremy asked but was busy with his phone.
"Who?"
"Jennifer "
" I dunno, why do you ask?"
"Nothing. But opportunities like this comes once in a lifetime"
"What do you mean?"
"Jennifer has a networth of $17billion ussd Making her the richest person in this whole school. Imagine all the benefits u can get by dating her."
"Thanks for the offer but I'm not a gold digger"
"I never said u were one"
"It sounded like it"
"No offense then I'm just looking out for u"
"Thanks but no thanks "
"Suite yourself." Jeremy said still not taking his eyes off his phone.
The computer teacher kick-started the day with PROGRAMMING.
I noticed everyone was grumbling and murmuring cuz they didn't like the topic or they didn't understand.
Unlike everyone I enjoyed the lesson cuz I was familiar with programming and the teacher was teaching with Q-BASIC, the easiest programming language which I was very good at.
At the end of the class the teacher quiz us .
The better half of the class failed it woefully, only a few people like Jennifer and some guys managed to get a fair pass,.
As for me I got the whole question right.
The teacher couldn't believe his eyes while handing over my script.
He wrote a program on the board and gave me a marker to solve it "PROGRAM TO SOLVE 5+3" which I solved correctly and he was amazed
"5. CLS
10. REM"PROGRAM TO SOLVE 5+3"
15. LET A=5, B=3
20. C=A+B
25. PRINT "THE SUM OF 5+8=", C
30. END
There was a round of applause after I solved the program.
I walked down to my seat with eyes staring at me.
When the teacher left , Jennifer rushed to my seat.
"How the f**k did you do that"
"What do you mean? The program is quite easy"
"I don't think this is your first time coming across programming. Right?"
"Yea, I'm kinda familiar with it"
"I thought as much. Well see u later handsome" Jennifer said while going back to her seat.
Since it was a free period I brought out my phone.
I played a Kendrick Lamar song poetic Justice on my headset.
I logged in on my i********: to check on the improvement on my followers and found out it had increased tremendously.
Just then I got a message on my w******p from Dera" meet me outside in 2 minutes".
I looked up and found her looking at me and I texted her "Ok"
I waited for her to leave first before I followed her.
We walked some distance away from the class before she stopped abruptly and I almost collided with her.
"Buchi right?"
"Yes. why did u call me...? Do u need something from me..?"
"What you did back there was amazing. "
"Thank you"
"Well there's a programming assessment going on and we've already been grouped. But unlike the other groups mine is missing a member. So since you don't have a group yet , I can allow you to join mine (extending her hand for a handshake)
"Thank you very much for your kindness" I said exchanging a handshake
"You're welcome, (paused) One more thing"
"What else?"
"I would like u to teach me Q-BASIC ".
"It would be my pleasure"
"I'll call you so we can schedule it properly." Dera said while going back to class.
I was very happy, but troubled by the audacity tho.
I really loved the way things were turning out.
My first day at Bright_Future was fun and less stressful. It was really not as difficult as I expected.
After school was over I took a cab home.
When I got home I went straight to the kitchen.
I dropped my bag on the dining table and dished some jollof from the pot and microwaved it
I grabbed a chilled can of malt from the fridge and closed it and enjoyed myself.
After I was done eating I grabbed my bag and went upstairs to my room and undressed.
I washed them and dried them using the washing machine and then ironed them.
I unpacked my books and arranged them neatly on my study desk and placed my laptop and phone on top of the desk too and took a quick shower.
I went straight to my woofer and connected it to Soundcity radio station which was playing a J'Cole ft Miguel song, power Trip.
I changed into my night wear.
After going through my books I put them back inside my bag and opened my laptop to blog some stuff on a page I was moderating on f*******:.
I got a text from Hosea saying he wouldn't be back today.
I waited the whole night waiting to get a call from my crush Dera but I never got one so I retired to bed.
I woke up early the next day following the sound of my alarm.
I quickly prepared for school, grabbed some breakfast, locked the house and left for school.
When I got to class everyone was divided into groups and were discussing something.
I sighted Jeremy who was seated alone busy with his phone.
I walked straight and sat down
"Yo Jeremy what's going on"
"Nothing much. Just another of my prophecy came to pass"
"And what's that"
"I believe Henry and Dera broke up" Jeremy said while smiling
"And why would you say that?"
"Cuz they unfollowed each other on i********:"
"No wayyyy!!! I exclaimed grinning from ear to ear.
