•• •• •• ••

One week to the end of the term after
examinations, Empire High School
Basketball Team was playing a friendly
game against Achievers Academy. EHS
students gathered in the large room to
cheer their team.

“No doubt we are going to win this game!”
Angella screamed
“We’ll take our cup back again!” Elena
added
Yells followed when Jones scored a point.
“Oh!” Temi stood up happily.
“Happy girl” Lizzy whispered to Kate.
Kate laughed
“That’s my boy!” Emeka cheered
They’ve all been cool together since the last
few weeks. Each of them had a blue
bandana tied around their head to support
their team.

“We’re champions!” Jeffrey screamed
And soon, EMPIRE HIGH School won the
match against Achievers Academy.
Drums and yells followed at the victory.
Winner o o o winner
EMPIRE HIGH SCHOOL
Don win again o
We’ll always win forever!

They sang a song of victory!
And soon the students trotted out of the
room still singing the song of victory.
The boys rushed to the court to
congratulate Joseph and Jones!
“Congratulations Bro!”
“We did It again!”
“This calls for celebration!”
They embraced each other.
“Well it seems you guys are forgetting
something..” Angella snapped at them
The girls stood at an akimbo.
“What?” The boys chorused
“Us!” The girls screamed in unison.
The boys rolled their eyes.
“We weren’t planning on leaving anyone
out of the celebration” Jeffrey spoke up
“That’s better” Adesewa replied
And they busted into laughter.
“Location! Location! Location please”
Caroline sang

“The class is available” Angella answered
“Let’s use the class so others can join us”
Elena said

“That’s nice” Lizzy said
“What should we buy?” Temi asked
The boys exchanged glances
“Give us a minute”
Joseph called the boys together. And they
discussed in a low tone.

The girls watched them impatiently.
“What are they planning?”
Ella whispered
“I’m sure they are planning on excluding us
from their get-together” Lizzy said
“They dare not!” Temi gritted
“If they do then we would ruin their party”
Elena said

“And what if they are planning on bringing
other girls to the party?” Adesewa
muttered
Fury crashed over them.

“They won’t dare have any party behind
our backs!” Kate gritted
The boys turned to face them
“What party?” They chorused
“The party you are planning now” Angella
answered

The boys exchanged glances and then
rolled into laughter.
“What’s funny?” Adesewa snarled
“Why are they laughing?” Kate said
“This is so annoying!” Caroline yelled
“Let’s teach them a lesson!” Ella gritted
The girls charged towards the boys,
climbing on their backs, hitting and
fighting.

The boys didn’t stop laughing at their silly
acts and it made the girls annoyed. They all
felt silly.

Kate went to Jeffrey, she grabbed his right
arm and twisted it. And he went down not
wanting to hurt her.
Angella tickled Joseph’s sides and he fell on
his knees..Laughing loudly.
“Hold them down! ” Temi screamed.
She went to Jones again but he side
stepped her.

“Let’s not do this Mama” he stepped
backward trying to avoid her.

“Okay..On your knees” she ordered and he
obeyed.

“Good boy” she rubbed his head
“Don’t laugh!” She barked
“Yes Ma” Jones stiffed back a laugh.
Caroline surged towards Emeka but he
didn’t let her take him down easily. He
grabbed her waist and pulled her to his
body. She gasped a little.

Angella groaned
“Let her go!” She snarled at him
“Why are you all behaving like angry she
wolves?” Emeka mocked.
And the boys laughed again.

Adesewa snatched Jamal’s eyeglasses and
twisted his hand behind his back. He went
down in second and cried.

Adesewa had joined the team a couple of
weeks ago because she was going to write
Waec with their set. She and Angella
settled their differences and agreed to be
on good terms. All thanks to Kate!

Caroline struggled in Emeka’s hands. And
Angella gestured to Lizzy to save Caroline
from Emeka’s grip but Cullen stepped In
front of her blocking her path. She raised
her eyebrow.

“We have some unsettled business” Lawal
said to Elena when she grabbed his wrist.
“I’m f-----g tired of staying on my knees!”
Joseph screamed
Lizzy avoided Cullen when he reached for
her. Suddenly Angella screamed. They
turned to face her. And she was down with
Joseph laying on her. She hit him!

Joseph whistled
And the rest of the boys moved into action
except Jamal. He couldn’t see properly
without his eyeglasses. Adesewa looked
down him with pity and fixed the glasses
back in his face.

“Thank You” he said shyly
Lizzy tried to hit Cullen but he swirled her
and lifted her up in his arms.
She gasped at the swift movement, staring
at him In shock.

“I’m single” Cullen mumbled
Lizzy arched her brow, trying to make
sense of it
“S..s. So..Wh..What?” She said unsteadily
“You’re single too. And everyone here is
taken except me, you, Adesewa and Jamal”
She avoided his gaze
“Cu..Cullen kindly put me down..” She said
“No”
Her forehead creased
“Don’t pretend, I know you like me” Cullen
smirked
Lizzy looked away again
“You..know..what..Just put me down and
then we’ll talk”
Cullen dropped her.

She tried to outsmart him but he was quick
to grab her waist.
“Smart” he grinned
“What do you want?”
He bent his head and Lizzy thought he
wanted to kiss her. But he whispered into
her ear.
“You”
Caroline looked up at him.

She was stunned. Slowly she looked at the
other girls. They were all engaged with
their partners.
Jamal was smiling sheepishly at Adesewa.
Kate was laughing with Jeffrey.
Joseph tickling Angella, her laughter could
be held in the room as she begged him to
stop.
