School Love - S01 E02

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

I don’t know. He was getting handsome every day. Was it the love that I had for him or the food he ate? Few minutes later the bell was rung and we gathered at the assembly. We singed and prayed while the principal gave his speech on how we should focus on our studies and cooperate with the teachers. That didn’t concern me; I only wanted to focus on my love. But wait, why am i even fansitising about love? I don’t know if he feels what I feel for him, I immediately shook the thought from my mind.

All the subjects taught that day were as if it was given in Chinese, I was thinking why he doesn’t want to come and talk to me or did I offend him?, hell no I didn’t. Then why was he treating me this way.

The week passed by without us talking to each other and I didn’t expect anything from him the next week.

I was gradually losing my feelings for him, but little did I know that the next week was just going to be a victorious one.

We resumed the next week. While I and my friends were discussing in the class during the free period our class teacher entered and we greeted him in union.

“Good afternoon sir”.

“Good afternoon, how are you?”He asked.

“Fine thank you sir” we replied.

“That’s good, Ok without wasting much of our time; we are going to elect our new class captain, so nominate your candidates…

“I nominate Joseph” a voice said from the back.

“Now listen if you hear your name come out”. Joseph went out.

“Next” the teacher voiced out.

“Damilola” another voice said.

I was shocked and surprised I could be nominated. The teacher voice brought me back to reality.

“Damilola aren’t you going to come out”.

I immediately came out. I was not happy that I was nominated because I couldn’t contest against Joseph. “Prevail” and “Joshua” were the last students to be nominated.

After we had all come out the class teacher asked the class to write the name of the nominees they want as their class captain in a sheet of paper and give it to him, the person with the highest vote will be the class captain and the second highest was to be the assistant class captain.

Few minutes later after he had counted it, he cleared his throat to announce the result.

“You have all done well by voting your nominees”. So after the counting and compilation of the votes, our new class captain is Kehinde Joseph. And His assistant is Ajoke Damilola.

I was very happy that I almost shouted “yea”. Why won’t I be happy, I was going to be very close to my love, not even close we were going to be working together? We were called upon to give our speech.

Joseph emphasize on the class cooperating with us, which earned him an applauded from the class.

I was then called upon to give my speech. I was very nervous and thinking of how I was going to give a good speech because I knew I couldn’t compose a speech and deliver it like Joseph, God he was d--n to perfect, and the worst part was that he went to sit down facing me, I was lost in thought, I didn’t know my class teacher has been calling me, his voice jolted me back to life.

“Damilola I’ve been calling you to give your speech but you are just standing there, anything the problem?”

I didn’t know what to say, I was still confused on what to say and the unexpected happened, Joseph came to my rescue.

“Sir she has toothache so she can’t talk much”, I guess it’s aching her so much that’s why she can’t talk”

Our class teacher turned to me, “is it true?” I just nodded my head in response, gave Joseph a look that shows: I AM VERY GRATEFUL.

“Okay you can go and sit down” our teacher instructed patting me at the back. l was so happy and thankful to the captain of my life for rescuing me. I guess he could read my mind and saw that l was going to embarrass myself in front of the class and so he had to come to my rescue. I decided to seize the opportunity of the assistant captain title to get him for myself, but how?

The week passed by and I was still thinking of how to get him, he didn’t even give me anything to do as his assistant, he always does things himself single handedly without involving anybody. He was a lone wolf, I don’t mean a wolf. Since I couldn’t go to him because of my pride, I decided to use another way that nobody would guess.

It was Friday and there was usually a fellowship for the Christians and the jumat service for the Muslims in the school after the school closes for the day.

The Christians use one of the classrooms in conducting the fellowship, while the Muslims find a shade for their jumat service. It was two minutes to the closing and I had to rush over to meet him before he goes home…….. He always behaved like a spirit or should I say a ghost, you can sit with him now and you look front and then back you won’t see him again. I went over to him and thank God he was the only one in class…
