“So, Chisom. Hmm…”
Claire started after I had changed into my pink nightwear
“What is it?”
“So… you know?”
“I don’t know” I say trying to avoid the obvious.
“Wait oo… so what you’re trying to tell me is that when I and Senior Jerry left you two alone, nothing happened?”
“Nothing happened joor. He just dressed my wound for me”
“You people did not do anything?” Kamsy queried.
“Of course not. You guys are crazy. You didn’t even ask me how my knee is. You just want to know if…”
“Oya sorry, Chisom. How is your knee”
“It’s quite painful shaa…”
“You really tried oo. I know I can’t crawl round that hall on my knees, with all those stones and gravel even glass sef around it. How did you manage? I heard she was even dragging you sef. I’m really sorry” Christy said
“It’s okay. I’m okay”
“So what did Senior Henry do to that b***h?” Kamsy asked
“Nothing… for now. I don’t even want him to do anything to her. She said she’ll still come back for me”
“I just remembered…” Claire gave me a friendly pat on my back “… because of you I’m going to SS2 class tomorrow to meet Senior OJ. That refectory prefect…”
“Yeah, I know him. But why are you going to meet him?”
“He stopped me when I was going to call Senior Henry and me, due to that I was in a hurry, I agreed to come tomorrow. I didn’t even have a choice”
“Sorry… endure” I chuckled
“He’s not even fine “
“Right?” I mocked “… but Senior Jerry is fine”
“No, no, no. Please don’t bring him up”
“Why? You like him?” Christy asked
“No. Although he’s fine, but he’s a playboy”
“Right? We’re not buying that. Claire… Senior Henry is in red cross right?”
“Is it know you’re knowing? He’s the president sef. How come you didn’t know? He was vice before but… you know, when Senior Frank, the former president changed school…” Christy said. Claire suddenly smirked. We all looked at her
“Claire… who are you thinking of?” I asked
“No, please, stop that”
“Say you don’t like it…”
We all hyped, then she went over to her bed, laid down using the pillow to cover her ears.
“You guys are disturbing. I want to sleep” she mumbled and if I wasn’t observant, I would have never noticed her blush. We all laughed and Kamsy said, “There’s still tomorrow. You can’t dodge us” Claire didn’t respond

“Ok. That should do” Senior Henry said after fixing the bandage on my knee. And then he continued,
“I hope it doesn’t hurt much anymore”
“No… only when it’s strained” we were the only ones in his class… no… except for a Senior that was sleeping… and no of course Senior Jerry was there.
I turned slightly to look at senior Jerry. He and Senior Henry had the same skin color. They were both in between light skinned and brown skinned, then Senior Henry was cute with long lashes, beautiful eyes and beautiful rosy pink lips like he had spent all his life working on lip therapy till perfection. He was tall, built and yeah… really talented.
Senior Jerry was as well, handsome not cute, built as well and he had this cute s***h on his left eyebrow. He was funny too.
For a while, Senior Henry kept looking at my knees, I couldn’t tell if he had spaced out or if he was doing that on purpose. I shifted, a bit uncomfortable. He turned, said something to Senior Jerry and they both laughed… I was curious, what were they talking about… was it about me? Did I do something wrong? Just then, Senior Henry turned and looked at me. I just smiled nervously,
Then an SS2 barged into the class and over to Henry. “Henry! You’re still here?? Slay queen dey look for you”
“Serious? Where’s she?”
“Her office. You and Michael (Senior Prefect)”
“Okay”
I looked at him and he said, “I’ll see you later. I'm going to meet the principal”
I was beyond shocked. Slay queen was our principal, she deserved the name anyways. I stood up and I said,
“Senior thank you”
“You’re welcome”
Then I left
