* * DAY 3 * *
I guess we are back to this annoying alarm. My up wasn't pleasant. Not one bit it wasn't.
But then I just have to start adapting cause I know for a fact that i wouldn't be leaving here anytime soon. It was almost 8 AM and the gang were making our way to each various first classes.
The atmosphere was a little bit cold maybe cause of what was about to pass me by
Random person 1: Jensen's bitch
Random person 2: ( laughing )watsup toochies
Justin: I see you've made some new friends
Kayode: stop taunting the boy Justin
Me: boy?. Definitely older than you
Kayode: Justin, don't stop.
Barry: ( laughing ) both of you quit that
Me: ( laughing ) y'all crazy as hell.
For the first class of the day I was pit with physics, of all fucking subjects, physics. Don't get me wrong, it is one of my favorite subject if not the number one, but who the fuck learns physics this early?. I couldn't really concentrate on the class cause of the event that transpired yesterday and I'm sure as hell that you guys would also wanna know what happened. Well you have your good looking protagonist here to do the summary.
Mr McCintyre: hey!. Keima!. Why don't you get out of your head and focus on the lecture.
Me: sorry sir
Mr McCintyre: since you're presumably out of your head, do you mind helping us with the observation of Newton's law of motion.
Me: I do mind sir.
Some student chuckled quietly
Mr McCintyre: what are the observation of Newton's law of motion?. It seems the class is a tad bit dull. You wouldn't mind helping us shake things up. Would you?
Me: Even though I do infact mind, I have a feeling you won't let me go.
Mr McCintyre: Enough chatter.
Me : uhmmm, [trying to remember, I knew I read it somewhere], the first law gives the definition of a force.
Mr McCintyre: Damn, you actually got that right.
Me: nice one teach, wanting your student to fail .
Mr McCintyre: ( chuckles ) the second law?.
Me: shit, uhmmm. It gives the measure of a force??.
Mr McCintyre: and the third ?.
Me: it specifies the property of a force, correct ?.
Mr McCintyre: not only talented but also smart, i like that for you. A round of applause for him class.
The way my mind shut down after this praise, I knew one thing for sure. I've got to find a way to climb up the ladder. Fuck Jensen, I'm gonna be the new number one.
* * HOURS ON * *
Me: ohh God, it looks like puke
Kayode: I said the exact same thing in my first year here, dont worry you'll get used to it
Me: fuck no. I'm never getting used to that.
I'm not trying to be insulting or any of that crap, but that food was in every way a puke, it looked like it, felt like it and smelt like it. There was no way I was gonna eat that. Ahh shit, shadow over me again.
Tephnine: so you just decided to stop seeing me
[ What the actual fuck, when did it become my obligation to see you]
Me: come on, you know that's impossible.
Tephnine: really ?. Cause it feels like we haven't really seen eye to eye after the race.
Me: that's because we haven't .
Tephnine: so that confirms that you indeed didn't wanna see me .
Me: you know how stressful that race was, and ever since the race my whole body have been all hell let loose.
Tephnine: uhh
Me: I've been enduring crazy ass pains.
Tephnine: why didn't you say anything
Me: I just did pea
Tephnine: let's go to the school nurse, I don't want anything happening to my baby boy.
Me: I don't think that's necessary pea.
Tephnine: you suck at nicknames, now get your ass up let's go.
Me: first off, would they serve me something better than that?? ( I said pointing at the 'Puke' )
Tephnine: you don't like your soup?.
Me: that's soup?. Where's the swallow then ??.
Tephnine: swallow ??.
Me: shit, this is America's idea of soup right?.
Tephnine: I guess you can put it that way.
Me: God, I'm already hating my life here.
Tephnine: okay how about this, I'll work out something else you'd enjoy
Me: let's get to the nurse already.
She grabbed me, AGAIN!, by my hands and led the way to the 'school nurse'. For one thing, I know nothing about this school so even if she was about to kidnap me, I'd still follow. But then I could tell that there was something off. Her body language, her creepy beautiful smile coming on and off. She better not be planning on that kidnapping part cause I was being sarcastic. My suspicion increased when we went pass the library. I may not know how I got there yesterday but I know for sure that the direction to the nurses office was left of the library.
Me: i thought the sick bay was left of here , why'd we turn right?.
Tephnine: don't worry baby boy, I'm not gonna bite.
Are you a fucking dog with rabies?. Who said anything about biting, she didn't even try to convince me otherwise, I knew to be on full alert.
Me: it's just that this place is a little bit deserted, I don't imagine the nurse staying here.
Tephnine: just trust me
What else was I supposed to do?, I decided to just silently follow. We walked for a few more second before getting to the 'nurses office'. True to her word she did bring me here
Tephnine: come on, let's go in
I for one didn't hesitate, but I was on full alert. I went in expecting strangers to bag me up instead I met an empty room, there wasn't even a single chair in sight. If there's one thing I take pride in, it's my ability of throwing hands. Heaven knows I've always been a thug.
Me: ( turning around ) I don't see anyone here teph.
Tephnine threw herself at me ad went straight for the lips. I haven't had a kiss like this in a long while so you can understand when I say my brain restored factory settings. The kiss went on for about 10 seconds before she eventually pulled out.
Tephnine: I'm the kind of girl who loves going for the things her heart desire, and ever since that day miss Isabelle introduced you to us, you've been all my stupid heart thought about.
Me: thing??
Tephnine: uhh, I'm lost.
Me: the things your heart desire, I'm a 'he' though not an 'it'
Tephnine: ( chuckling ) gosh I hate you. I'm being serious here.
Me: I know, and I'm so happy you did this.
Tephnine: why?.
Me: cause you're honestly the only one I've been looking forward to seeing everyday. I just thought you wouldn't wanna swing my way.
Tephnine: why say that?.
Me: you are the top dog of the girls, why the fuck would you wanna date me?. For a while I even thought you were with Jensen.
Tephnine: first off, eew. I would never date Jensen, that's gross.
Me: ouch??.
Tephnine: moreover I don't have a boyfriend, never wanted to, but not till I saw you.
Me: if blushes were currency, I would be fucking wealthy right now.
Tephnine: ( chuckling ) you joke too much.
Me: yeah, I know I do. So Teph, yes I love you, yes I wanna be with you, yes I wanna wake up knowing I'm the happiest guy in the school. Would you be my girlfriend?.
Tephnine: I did ask first though
Me: ( sigh ) you take the fun outta everything, it's improper for you to ask the guy out, so just flow with me.
Tephnine: fine
Me: Good, now tephnine, would you do me the honours of being my girlfriend.
Tephnine: [ kissing me ] yes I would kei.
Our fun was cut short by the bell. We made our way outta the nurses office and headed to our various classes. Who knew getting a girlfriend would be this easy, barely three days. I'm so coming for that top dog position Jensen. Oh shit, Tephnine didn't give me the food she promised.
* * DAY 4 * *
I would like to start this day with a story I'm guessing y'all have been itching to hear. 'THE RACE'. How I took a bite from this huge pile of fame in S.S.H.S.
Justin: the fuck are you doing kei?. Classes are about to start
Me: Telling my story to the readers. What else?.
Justin: uhhhh..... What??
Me: just go away
Justin: heavenly grace
*. *. *. FLASHBACK PEEPS *. *. *.
Caller: on your track....Get set....Go
For my first point, Jensen is as fast as fuck, no denying that. This was supposed to be a 100m race like any normal race, but no the abnormal people of starling strike wanted to see their beloved perfect boy embarrass the new kid. You should have seen the devilish smile on the teachers face. But then they were underestimating me. I grew up in the craziest places in Nigeria, i can bet that Jensen haven't been chased by a wild bull dog with anger issues before, cause believe me I have. On numerous occasions at that, so I've mastered the art of channeling my inner survival instincts to run for my life. At the end of the first hundred Jensen was leading , and the crowd as usual were proving to me that madness do reign at different levels. Different chants were filling the air "Jensen, Jensen", " we love you Jensen", and that weird one " marry me Jensen ". Like what the fuck, that's a drastic blow to my ego. One thing I knew for sure was if I lost this race, I might as well just change schools. In the last hundred I looked around at the crowd and I saw my roommates, kayode screamed out something to me, but with the noise there was no way in hell I could know. But then my survival instincts kicked in and it translated kay's words to " you can do it " . Well duhhh, of course my brain turned it to a motivational speech.
I can't really explained what happened next, and honestly I don't know how to, but I saw Jensen slow down for just a second and I took that opportunity. Every single cell in my body knew this was the opportunity we had been waiting for. In the last 30M all Jensen heard was " whoosh". I dashed passed him screaming at the top of my lungs " I'm not losing this fucking race" . Crossing that finish line was probably the best thing I've ever felt since my existence and I'm not exaggerating. You should have seen the way I was panting, I was so out of breath, sweating all over, I didn't even realize when I tripped and fell on my back.
But something wasn't right, fuck that. A shit ton of shit wasn't right. I just raced Jensen and won , so what the hell is this silence. What's with the drop pin silence. I get it, you're all in disbelief but say something dammit.
In crowd 1: what the hell, did he just beat Jensen
In crowd 2: that's impossible
In crowd 3: isn't that the new student from omega
In crowd 1: yeah, it's him
Justin: KEIMA!, KEIMA!!, KEIMA!!!
Kayode: KEIMA!, KEIMA!!, KEIMA!!!
Tephnine & Barry: KEIMA!, KEIMA!!, KEIMA!!!
And before I knew what was happening
The whole school: KEIMA!, KEIMA!!, KEIMA!!!
I stayed down staring at nothing but the sky with one thought On my mind, " fuck you Mr drew".
* * LATER THAT EVENING* *
Justin: it's still hard to understand bro, how in heaven's name did you outrun Jensen. That dude is the flash of this school.
Me: then I guess you could say I'm the God of speed.
Barry: you mean Saviter?. He hasn't even officially aired in the CW universe right?.
Barry: and moreover Barry is considered the fastest, even if you outrun him, he will eventually get a lot more faster that you.
Me: well there you have your answer. Honestly this win was a fluke. If we were to go on another race, I won't be able to do this again.
Barry: that's about the most honest and craziest answer I've ever gotten.
Me: bro you weren't even the questionnaire
Kayode: what are you guys still talking about. The party is starting anytime soon.
Me: party?, what party?.
Kayode: they didn't tell you?
Me: we've spent the last hours taking about boys and girls and DC.
Kayode: what's DC
Me: seriously?.
Barry: maybe he's a marvel fan
Kayode: what's marvel?.
Me: let's just go get ready for the party.
* * PARTY'S BEEN KICKING YO* *
Okay, this Is taking things too far, first off in a standard Nigerian school, there's no way in hell you'd be allowed to throw this kind of party, except it's a Grand occasion or something of sorts but not this. Like no way. Literally everything was on speakers, at first I expected the teachers to do something but I scraped the thought outta of the way when I saw Mr Drew and Ms Natasha making out. I was gonna go all out but then I remembered Tephnine, yeah we had nothing going on but i just wanted to play it safe . Thankfully everything changed when Barry informed me she would be out of school grounds till tomorrow. Weird how Justin knew, and how in heavens name is she even allowed outside. Well screw that thought. This meant freedom. I unleashed the inner perty demon I had. I made a shit ton of new friends at the party, and that was when i found out that the fastest used to be a guy called abraham, but he's a senior who has already graduated.
Strange face: hi
Me: hi????
Strange face: I'm Cyndy
Me: And I'm keima, but I guess you already knew that and now I'm just saying things that are totally not supposed to follow. Sorry ( slight chuckle )
Cyndy: there's no need for that, you must be in a boat load of pressure right
Me: swears, and to tell a secret, I'm terrible at things like this, you could say I'm an introvert
Cyndy: oh I know
Me: uhhh, you do ?. How?.
Cyndy: you just told me now
Me: fuck ( laughing ), that one was neat. Where'd you learn that
Cyndy: I master at human behavioral astronomy
Me: those words have nothing in common ( laughing )
Cyndy: ( laughing ) I'm pretty certain they do.
Me: nahhh, I might be a bit dumb, but not that dumb ( laughing )
Cyndy: okay fine, are you with phone ?
Me: yes
Cyndy: hand it to me, I'll prove it to you
Me: if you say so ( handing it over )
After a tad bit of whatever she was doing she gave me back.
Me: you didn't show me though, I'm happy you knew you lost.
Cyndy: oh, I wasn't checking for it. I did put my number though. Call me if you want.
Uhmmm, okay that was new, I don't like new feelings. Oh, she stored her name with a couple love emojis. Cute. The party went on till whenever cause I dipped. And I regret ever dipping cause me dipping caused a reaction to something else. I'll share that sometime else.
* * DAYS ON * *
Me: How do I join the basketball team?.
Barry: bad idea
Me: uhhhh, how?.
Kayode: read the room sometimes K, you beat their captain in a race, literally dragged his face in front of his fans and you expect things to just slide like that ?.
Me: duhhh, yes I do. He's a guy like me, and we guys don't act like that. Moreover he's still famous and all he has to do is ask for for a rematch and he definitely would wipe my ass.
Voice: true, and moreover I'm over that.
Barry: woah, Jensen
Jensen: like he said, we guys don't take things like that personal, and moreover I'm happy he knows he got lucky with that one.
Me: ( smiling ) things I love to hear
Jensen: we train by 5 everyday. I'll be expecting you. And here's a little bit warning. Coach's got problem. See ya later.
Kayode: that went well
Justin: it's quite obvious you dnt watch movies, cause this is where the antagonist start plotting.
Me: sometimes, I'm always tempted to rethink my friend group.
* * A WHOLE LOT OF LATER ON * *
Tephnine: please just agree with me.
Me: babe, that's strange .
Tephnine: what's strange In going out with your girlfriend.
Me: my girlfriend being the one asking ??.
Tephnine: so?.
Me: when have you ever heard of such scenario.
Tephnine: you refuse to do it, so I might as well just do it.
Me: it's not like I don't wanna do it, but it's pointless. We can't even go out of the school, or would you prefer us having our date in the library. Or maybe the cafeteria.
Tephnine: babe, who do you think I am?.
Me: i definitely don't understand that question.
Tephnine: okay lemme rephrase that. Whats the name of the owner of this educational institution?.
Me: uhmmm, am I supposed to know that?.
Tephnine: ( laughing ) how did I fall for you?.
Me: beats me.
Tephnine: the answer to my question is Mr Richard white west.
Me: damn, he's got white in his name, must be a hella racist.
Tephnine: ( laughing ) what's my last name idiot.
Me: west??
Tephnine: putting one and two together
Me: shit, he's your dad ?. Thank goodness you skipped that racist gene.
Tephnine: ( laughing ) I hate you.
Me: damn, you must be a spoilt brat then.
Tephnine: yep, always get what I want .
Me: only child ?
Tephnine: only daughter
Me: brothers ?
Tephnine: two, Josh and Jake.
Me: three, something we have in common.
Tephnine: well I had a sister
Me: had?.
Tephnine: yeah my twin, she died though .
Me: shit, I'm sorry. Had no idea.
Tephnine: don't worry it's no big deal .
Me: I ruined your mood didn't I??.
Tephnine: don't worry, it happened a long time ago.
Me: it didn't spoil your mood for the date?.
Tephnine: you're kidding right ?. We are doing this today.
Mr Isaac: you two love birds don't plan on going to class or what ?.
Me: uhhh?.
Mr Isaac: chemistry?.
Tephnine: we're sorry sir
Then, yeah we dashed to class. The thing about chemistry is that I don't necessarily hate it, neither do I like it. I just try my best to pass it
Mr Isaac: someone, give me a easy to remember definition of chloride.
After my show off at physics and the race, I was beginning to grow a lil bit in name. So I needed to fan the flames of my fame.
Me: sir, can I ?.
Mr Isaac: let's hear it .
Me: they are just chlorine mixed with carbon dioxide
Mr Isaac: you're joking right?. And I expected a Grand performance. Sit down.
The whole class just burst out with laughter and mockery, well screw them.
Me: just kidding sir, they are normal salts formed when metallic ions replace the hydrogen ions In hydrochloric acid.
Mr Isaac: I said easy to remember, not textbook version. He's correct though.
Me: thanks sir
Mr Isaac: never dropped a compliment, have your sit. Now Samson I like the fact that your mind have been drifted away from us. Repeat what he just said word for word.
Tephnine: ( whispering ) you just had to show off.
Me : if your lover boy don't , who will?.
Tephnine : you of course. But it has to happen
Me: what has to ?
Tephnine: the date, you already forgot ?.
Me: ohh that, I didn't forget. I was just confused with the way you said it.
Tephnine: confused ?
Me: ( smiling ) yeah
Tephnine: that's not very romantic.
Me: really ?. How am I supposed to be romantic.
Tephnine: well to kick things o---
Mr Isaac: you love birds better stop that now
Tephnine: awwn, he called us lovebirds
Mr Isaac: aren't you?
Tephnine: I don't know, ask keima.
Uhh. What the actual fuck??.
