I got a visitor that evening before I could make up my mind about pulling Andre aside for a chat though. It was Aaron and he was curious to know why I decided to shut myself in for so long. He came with dinner, not school dinner. Apparently, Aaron is a bit of a cook. He made spaghetti with a minced meat pie. I didn’t know he had an oven in his room.“I haven’t seen you all day and I thought you might be hungry.”“Wow, how am going to eat all of that?” I laughed looking down at his hand loaded with all the good stuff.“We could eat it together – if you let me in that is,” he said.Suddenly realizing I had forgotten to invite him in I laughed and stepped back. He smelled so good like he just had a nice shower and washed his hair with something that smelled like kiwi shampoo. My hormones must be raging so I couldn’t help breathing him in. He smiled.“Okay, that wasn’t weird at all.”I blushed, embarrassed that he caught me. “I’m sorry,” I laughed. “Come in.” I went to the kitchen to brin

“I couldn’t agree more,” I said as soon as I stepped out into the cool night outside the dining. Andre stood with his back to me, ramrod stiff and tensed. I couldn’t care less whether or not he was in a bad mood, especially considering the fact that we aren’t friends, I’m just being polite because of Siobhan and he’s doing the same. “It’s about time we talked about some things and stopped playing around like kids.”He swung around and I took a step back at the sudden assault of his height and strong build. “Stay the fuck away from my sister,” he bit out through his teeth.His order took me off guard. It was a sudden and unexpected warning but given the look he gave her while we spoke in the dining, I guess I should have sensed it coming. But I wasn’t about to have him ordering me around yet again.“And why should I do that?!”“Just stay the hell away from Carla!”“And I want to know why? So you can have all the attention to yourself? Don’t you have enough with half the female populati

I found Andre eventually. Okay, let me start at the beginning. I couldn’t find him at first because he was avoiding me, yes the same way I was avoiding him when I found out I was supposed to be his student guide, thank God that one is over now! So later that day I ramped up my search for him and finally found him…get this, I found Andre in his apartment after dinner on his couch with Eva over him, Andre’s hand squeezing her butt, roaming her body while he kissed her.“Oh my…are you kidding me?!” I yelled. They are lucky half of our classmates were either still in the dining room or hanging around somewhere and the remaining half probably don’t care what they were up to, but then again maybe that was why he and Eva decided to stay back in the hostel to make out. “You literally just asked my best friend to be your girlfriend a few hours ago like a love craze jerkface.”Unbothered, Andre took his time getting his hands off Eva’s ass. Eva looked too pleased to pretend she was scared of wh

“Good morning boys and girls of Edwin and Co. or should I say Edwins and Edwinas…”“Wait is that the P. A system?” someone beside me in the hall asked. Everyone in the hall at 2 pm that afternoon stood at a standstill looking up and down the halls at the speakers hung on the walls.I stood with Rebecca beside me, we had been on our way to submit the new list of approved cheer squad members to the coach, Mr. Fletcher.“Was that Shewa’s voice?” Rebecca asked. I shrugged. It sounded like her though.“Bet you are all wondering what is going on, eh?” the voice continued with a giggle. “This is the new Chairman of the newspaper committee, AdeShewa Adekunle, speaking to you from the newsroom. I’ll clear your confusion dear students, Edwin and Co. now has a radio station airing on Fridays only. Presenting the programs from the school radio is none other than yours truly…actually me. I am your host on Edwin and Co. radio.” She laughed again.I chuckled. Shewa knows how to have fun even in the

So, because I am such a stickler for rules, immediately after the final bell rang I was off to the coach’s office to seek permission for a one-hour training. He granted it no questions asked. Lunch was quick, at least for we seniors who were eager to get out on the field. With the permission to train granted, Aaron and I were able to convince the Senior Class 2 students to take charge during the Prep. We wasted no time going back to the seniors' quarters to get ready. As cheerleaders, we have two uniforms, skirts and shorts. Choosing the shorts, the other teammates pooled together all the tights we could find and gave them to the boys who eagerly wore them under their shorts. They came out way too excited about what we had planned for them. Sharing secretive smiles we girls led them out to the field. It was a nice cool evening and the sky was somewhat bright. The grass was soft and slightly wet from the sprinklers. The boys were still too pumped with just too much energy, talking a
