“Leo, Daniel is back in school.” Senior Jeff; Senior Leo best friend whispered into Leo’s ear.

“What?” Senior Leo screamed confusingly.
“What about his expel?” Leo asked puzzled.
“Terminated…” Senior Jeff replied and his statement left Leo’s mouth wide open in agape.
.

Leo angrily walked out of his classroom, he walked in a gyratory manner to the principal’s office. He barged the door angrily.

“Who is that manner-less knocker?” Mr. Chorus barked from inside and Leo replied it’s him.

“Come in.” Mr. Chorus concluded and Leo entered the office and he slammed the door behind himself.

“Leo…” Mr. Chorus said but unfinished.
“Father, why do you have to terminate Daniel’s expelled and exorcise?” Leo asked with some kind of husky voice.

“The reasons remain known to me and me only, I can’t expel him, I can’t just expel him.” Mr. Chorus replied as he opened the next page of a book infront of him.

“Father, remember I know \some of your secrets, do you what me to expose you or …” Leo threatened but unfinished.

“Or what? If you want to overt my secrets, you’re free and you can surely do your worst, I said I can’t expel that boy from this school, how is that your problem?” Mr. Chorus whispered serenely.

“Father…” Leo called as with swollen eyes of disappointment.

“Please can you just leave my office?” Mr. Chorus asked as he adjusted his medicated eyeglass and Leo walked out of the office with his heavy legs.
.

The bell ran continuously for assembly.
“Why is there an assembly? This is just few minutes to the closing time.” Some students murmured as they shambled to the assembly ground, we all line up according to our class. Shortly, the assembly commenced. The principal apologized on behalf of the school management for not hearing the cries and pains of the student’s, he also pledged that no student will be held responsible for the riot that happened in the school recently.

“I have some great news for you all.” Mr. Chorus paused as he wiped his oily face with his handkerchief.

“My first news is that Daniel rustication has been terminated.” He paused and the whole students in the school cheerfully applauded and screamed happily.

“And my second news is that as from next term, your school fees has been lessen and dwindled to #500 naira per term.” Mr. Chorus announced and the assembly ground turn to a party, the measly students hurray happily and the assembly was dismissed.
.

“Ola, what about the phone I asked you to keep?” Daniel asked on our way home leaving Princess and Cynthia behind.
“Why are you asking?” I asked suspiciously.
“I really want to know who owned the phone before I bestow it to the school management.” Daniel elucidated smiling.
“The principal owned the phone and…” I replied but Daniel barged into my statement.
“Hope you haven’t bequeathed it to him?” Daniel asked impatiently.
“Hope you won’t do anything silly and stupid if I tell you some secrets about the phone?” I asked doubtfully.

“Sure, you know I am always secretive.” Daniel replied with smile on his face. I turned back and I could witness Cynthia and Princess smiling at each other.

“What has come on these girls, foes turned friends, is this how fun it is?” I asked facing Daniel.

“I even want to ask you how they became friend but it escaped my mind…” Daniel replied but unfinished.

“I just came to school today and I saw them chatting and laughing, I was equally surprised and stunned, but it is all alright, it will help to build a strong friendship between the two…” I replied but I was restrained from concluding my statements by the angelic voice that spook behind me.

“Busy bodies…” Princess said softly. Daniel and I burst into laughter.

“What’s funny?” Cynthia asked knocked for six.

“You don’t know what we’re talking about but you just intervene as if you know everything.” Daniel replied smiling at Princess.

“Oh, don’t you know we knew you’re talking about our sudden friendship?” Cynthia asked smiling.

“Yes, that reminds me, I remembered I saw the two of you chatting and discussing happily today… no fight, no quarrel, everything was just cool. How come?” I asked pretending.
“We are now mature, how can we be fighting all because of a young brilliant dude, that sound ridiculous and inane, I got to school today and I greeted her and she replied earnestly so that was how the unexpected friendship started.” Princess explained softly and Daniel and I burst into laughter one more time.
“So what is funny in that?” Cynthia asked confusingly.
“Please, who is that brilliant dude?” Daniel asked mockingly.

“Ola of course.” Princess replied.
“But you’re more brilliant and intelligent than this my good friend na…” Daniel riposted but unfinished.
“The exam will judge that.” Princess let out smiling.

“So you like Ola but you’re just forming Omo Baba Olowo, right?” Daniel returned mockingly.

“No o the brave one.” Princess replied smiling.

“Then who own that title?” Daniel asked jokingly.

“Oh, my sister is here.” Princess sighted as she run to the deluxe Honda car park very close to us.

“Come and greet her.” Princess uttered as she led the way to the car.
.

“Good afternoon.” Princess’ sister greeted. Sincerely speaking, Princess and her sister can be mistaken for each other, they resemble each other like an identical twins. She was very beautiful and she dressed elegantly. She came down from the care and we greeted her respectfully.

“How are you my dear?” Princess’ sister returned and she shook hand with Cynthia.
“What’s your name?” She asked Cynthia with smile all over her face.
“I am Cynthia.” Cynthia replied.
“So you’re the rival of my sister?” Princess’ sister asked smiling.
“Rival?” Cynthia sighed surprisingly.
“Never mind… Please can I know you?” Princess’ sister asked facing Daniel.
“I’m Daniel.” Daniel replied but unfinished.

“So you’re the one troubling my dear sister, right?” Princess’ sister asked jokingly.

“Yes, and I won’t stop troubling her.” Daniel returned and we all burst into laughter.
“Where’s Ola… or what…” Princess’ sister asked smiling.

“Here I am sister.” I replied smiling.
“Oh, my sister boyfriend, how’re you?” She asked and she shook hand with me.
“Boyfriend?” Cynthia, Daniel and I sighted in disbelief.
