Chapter 6

Everything moved on normally, except for the girls that keep bugging me to talk to the devil

"Come on, help me out" a girl from ss1 is bugging me, it is quite tiring

"Why not go talk to him yourself" I asked her

"He hardly stops when someone approaches him" she said, that's what they all say

"Esther, the principal is calling you" Martha said to me, speaking of Martha she rarely comes to my house

"Is anything wrong?" I asked, she just shook her head and left, so I ran along

"Come in" the principal said after the first knock, I saw Oliver too, he is here

"Sit down" I sat beside Oliver who gave me the sweetest smile, gosh he is perfect, not that devil

Why do I have to compare them

"I called you both here to talk to you about the post of prefect" the principal said

Cool my dream is coming true

"Yes," we both said

"I want Oliver as the senior prefect and you the assistant," he said, I wanted to squeal not because of being an assistant, but because I will work with Oliver 

"Sure sir," he said, how respectful 

"So I want you both to go and make plans on how to work, and also bring me names of the candidates for other positions" he said "though you will take up the post next term, I think it's better to tell you now" he said

Both Oliver and I were smiling

"Thank you sir" I said and Oliver nodded

"You can now go" he said and we both left

"So, we are going to be working together" I said as I fiddle my fingers

"Looks like it" he said, giving me that killer smile, I refrained from moaning

"So when do we meet up to talk about it" I asked

"I don't know yet, I will get back at you, for now, let's get back to class" he said and we both walk back to class. I feel like his girlfriend already, but my bubble burst when I saw Chike approaching.

Now he have to spoil my happiness, I pretended like I didn't see him coming

I just kept walking along with Oliver, in my mind am getting ready to trash him if he stop me

By trashing, I meant to insult,  but to my surprise, he walked past me, that's the first, no actually he has been doing that lately. It started on Monday, he came to school with some bruises 

He saw me and walked past me, I thought he just didn't see me, he repeated it I thought its a coincidence but it just happened again

That means something is up, but I don't mind am just glad he is off my back

When I came inside the class my eyes instantly went I've to the devil, it's an involuntary action

It surprise me that I do it always, he is resting his head on his hand looking bored. I rolled my eyes and went to my seat, I will definitely gist Martha on the latest. 

"Did you hear the latest" Martha whispered to me, she won't want to alert the teacher

Looks like she also has a big news

"What's that" I asked, leaning closer

"There is going to be a party this Friday" there is always a party but we never go, 

"It's Emma, that is hosting it, his parents are traveling, and he said it's going to be the last party till they finish waec," she said excitedly, Emma is a senior, very rich background, always host parties, we always hear about the parties on Monday. I and Martha are determined to go one day

"So are we going to attend this one" she asked, my parents are going to the village this Friday, so am free, 

"Yes baby girl we are" I said and her eyes spark up

"Good, cause everybody will be there, including Oliver " she said wiggling her eyebrows, I rolled my eyes and we focused on the lesson. 

Am already thinking of what to wear and how to attract Oliver, I looked at him and he have his attention on the lesson, unlike the devil that looks bored. 

Uuuuuh why do I keep comparing him with that devil, still I looked at him and he caught me and smiled, and winked, I froze and averted my gaze. 

"Have you heard about the Friday party?" Oliver asked, he came to m desk, it was almost dismissal 

"Yea," I said, am stiffed like being held at a gunpoint 

"If you can make it am thinking if we can get to talk more about the prefect stuff" he said scratching the back of his neck, how cute Oliver is shy

"And you know get to know each other more" he said and I was overwhelmed 

"Sure, I would love that" I said but actually am already picturing him proposing to me. 

Sits a date then" he said and my eyes widened "not like a date date, it's a date not date like a date" he balled his hand into a fist "what am I saying" he looks frustrated, a huge part of me is happy for making him like this

"I understand what you mean" I said he relaxed

"Friday then" he said and left but not before giving me his gorgeous smile. 

On Friday I went to our school field to see him, the boys always practice on Friday. 

I also saw that devil, he is now among our school footballers, I heard he is good, some say he is the best. I don't mind

"So what time do you think the party is starting" I asked Oliver

"Just come by 10" he said, he is all sweaty, but I think its sexy, he went back to practice after our little chat

Again I involuntarily search for the devil, and sure he has his eyes on me looking furious, that can only mean one thing, he is going to bully me once he gets back. I gave him a hard stare and he just shook his head and continued his football. 

"Devil" I muttered then left. When I got home mom and dad are already preparing to leave

"Where is Mavis" mom asked

"He is still in school, football practice" I said she gave me a nod

"We are going, tell him when he gets back, we will call you guys" mom said

"Be good and take care of him" dad said and they both left. The only thing on my mind right now is the party

"The cats away, the mice will play" I sang as I went to my room to prepare my dressing

"Oliver, you will be mesmerized" I said

"I strongly advice against this party" the devil warned me, I scoffed

"Good thing I never listen to you" I barked, he shook his head and gave me a pitiful look

"The boss will hear about it" he said, oh now he is threatening me

"You wouldn't dare, and if you do I will say its a lie, cause I have never done such before" I smiled, I know they will believe me

"Just..... Be safe" he said and went into his room, which left me dumbstruck, who is he

The devil never cared for my well-being, but since am too excited to meet Oliver I waved it. 

At 10 pm I heard a knock on my door, I know it's Martha, mom and dad already called to tell us they reached

"So baby girl, are you ready for the best night" I squealed as I opened the door, she looks amazing, wearing a red gown, she is putting on a wig, wow I never thought of that

It made her appear hot and matured unlike me that have my cornrows

"Don't worry I got you covered" she said and brought out another wig, I screamed, damn I love this girl. 

She redid my makeup, making me hotter, I now look like a superstar with my royal blue gown. 

"Isn't Mavis coming?" Martha asked as stepped out

"Nop, who would want that devil to come" I said and went ahead with Martha on my trail

When we got to the party its already a blast, we all came with our school ID that's the invitation to know you are our student. 

"You sure took your time" I heard Oliver's voice, I shut my eyes to gather myself, then opened it 

"Did you wait long" I turned, I heard Martha laughed at my comeback 

"Am over there" Martha said and left us both, you see this is the reason I love her

Wow this is going to be fun, I said as I took the drink Olive offered me, am not such a good girl, my dad sometimes gives me alcohol so it is not a new thing to me, we both started talking, you can say we hit it off immediately. 

"Do you like the party?" He asked

"Hmmmm, too early to say" I said

"Then let me make you say," he said and took me to the dance floor, am so happy I think I will melt.
