The Transition

I dare you

Esi p.o.v

Esi is looking at the guy before her. The one who wants her to sweep the compound when he is also standing ther doing nothing.

"And why should I go and sweep the compound? What are you doing here yourself? If you want the compound to be this clean then go and do it yourself." She told him pushing him on the side to pass.

She was walking in the direction of the class where she saw her friend Kojo enter. Despite hearing her name being called behind her by the neat guy, she didn't mind nor stop. If he wants he can follow her since he has nothing to do this morning however, as for her she has a lot to find out.

She is on the mission to find the identity of two people and that boy want to make her work on her first day of school. Who does that?

The moment Esi entered the class which happens to also be hers, all the noises and talkings that the students were doing and making ceased and all eyes turn to her. She was expecting this reaction from them since she's the new girl and student in the village. However, Esi didn't mind their stares because she's used to it already after changing countless schools in the city.

She walks towards a smiling Kojo who waves a hand at her. She also smiles at him and gave him a 'hi' as a greeting.

"Hi," he says back

"How do you find our village? He asked

" wouldn't you at least let me have a seat first before asking me how I find your village?"

"Ahh, my mistake. You can sit beside me Yaa will be absent from now on."

" Thank you. And who is this Yaa?" She asked him and saw sadness in his eyes.

"Never mind ab...." she was cut off by the same guy she met outside before entering here.

"What are you doing in the seniors class?"

"Excuses me?"

"Juniors are not supposed to enter into the seniors class. Moreover, since I asked you to sweep the compound and you refused, the headmaster will hear about your insolence."

"Oh really? Well, let me tell you so......"

"Kwame no need to get angry over this insignificant

matter. She's new in town and school and knows less about our rules and regulations." Kojo ships in by cutting off an already fuming Esi.

"Since it is her first day at school I will grant her the grace period of not sweeping still the end of the week. However, She's still trespassing this is not her class she should go find her class." The neat guy with the name Kwame said and that made Esi laugh.

"You are a foolish ignorant senior. Base on what are you determining my class? My height, my age or what?" Esi talkback entertaining more students on the process.

Students were all in shock none of them have ever seen someone talk back to the school prefect selected by the headmaster and backed up by the teachers.

After the headmaster and the school teacher, he is next in power. So going against him calls for punishment from the teacher or headmaster.

These prefects are found in every school in the country and they have other people working under them. Esi knew it very well but one thing she is not aware of is that the guy called Kwame standing before her is the school prefer.

Even if she knew, she wasn't going to bow to him because people like him tend to abuse their position in the school. They treat others like trash. she had had the experience to face them in almost all the schools she has been to. They are selected base on their good conduct and good performance in class and school.

"Don't push me to punish myself or else y....."

"Or what? " Esi's challenge standing on her feet. Their exchange of words attracted the whole school. The Juniors were in astonishment nothing as such has ever happened in the history of the school. All the past prefers were never challenged by any student.

While Esi and Kwame were throwing each other electric eyes students who were standing outside and inside the class started to disappear. Esi wasn't going to let anyone intimidate her be it young or old. Even with the fact that her friend Kojo was trying to pull her down on her seat, Esi was not ready to back down now.

However, from the corner of her eye, she saw a teacher walk into the Class.

" Alright, have your seats. Kwame, is there any problem over there?" The male teacher asks the school prefect.

"Yes, Sir. Actually, this girl doesn't want to vacate the class." He reported.

"Who is the girl?"

Kwame who was blocking the teacher's view step aside to give the teacher a clear view of Esi

" Arh, Kwame she's in the right class. She had skippered some classes. So she's in this class." The teacher informed him but also the whole class. Esi saw how surprised they all are looking at her most especially Kwame and she smirked at him to anger him more.

"Young girl came forward and introduced yourself." The teacher orders

Esi walks still she reaches where the teacher was standing.

" I'm Esi Benson and I come from the city," She said and she heard students gasping. But the one thing that made her wonder what was going on was the shocking face on Kwame.

Looking at all their faces, Esi saw how most of them were looking from her to Kwame. She didn't understand why they were doing it. She thought she said something strange.

Little did she know what was going to happen in the next moment.
