~Yemisi~

We finally arrived at Triston High. The name gan sounds weird. I alighted the car and waved Mr. Johnson goodbye as my brother and I headed for the administrative office.

As I entered, the AC that blew my life. "Wow, Moscow the second" I remarked

"Good morning, how may I be of help to you?" A beautiful young-looking woman asked us

"We are new students" Kayode said

"Oh, you must be the Adekunle children" she said smiling

In my mind, I was like why did she have to address somebody like that but I smiled and replied "You are right"

"Welcome to Triston High. You both are in SS2 right?" She said smiling again

"Yes" Kayode replied

"Well Miss Tricia, your class is on the third floor, while yours Master Tony is on the second floor" She said giving us our ID cards smiling.

"Please call me Yemisi" I told her. I hated people calling me Tricia.

"Oh, okay Yemisi" she said still smiling. "Now please run along" she told us.

"Omo that woman dey smile o" I thought as we left the admin office.

I got to the classroom block and noticed an elevator. "Big school things" Kayode remarked as if reading my mind.

We got on the elevator and started going up. Kayode left me when we got to the

second floor while I waited to get to the third floor.

"Ding" the elevator rang when I got to the third floor and I exited it. I saw a lot of rooms for just SS2 Science.

I noticed a sign at one door that read "Main Classroom". "This is it" I said pushing the door open.

As I entered, it felt like everyone fell silent and was watching me. I gulped bent my head and moved to the nearest free seat.

As I was about to sit, I heard a book slam on my seat (abi the seat I want to sit on sha). "This seat is taken" the girl that slammed the book said with a sly smile on her face.

"Oh" I said taken aback. I decided to move to another empty seat. "That seat is also taken" the same girl said

"Shoo na all the chair dem don take" I thought.

"Attention class" I heard a loud voice boom. I jumped up in shock.

"Good morning Mr. Bello" the whole class greeted.

"Why are you standing?" Mr. Bello asked looking at me.

"Sir, em, there is no seat available" I said

"The empty seats are free for use, that's why they are empty" he replied back

"Thank you sir" I said moving to the seat

I saw the sly-smiling girl look at me with a frown on her face. I looked away like I didn't care.

"So today starts a new week. You all have been doing well for the past few weeks and I am proud"

Mr. Bello announced.

"As we all know, we have a new student in our midst" Mr. Bello continued

"Please come out and introduce yourself to us" he said pointing at me

"Oooo" I grumbled to myself. As I was moving forward to the front of the class, I tripped on someone's foot. I noticed it was the sly-smiling girl.

She was giggling with her friends. I don't even know why I am calling her that.

I stood in front of the class and I could feel their criticizing eyes piercing me.

"Good morning, my name is Oluwayemisi Tricia Adekunle" I managed to say

"Hmm... her name sounds so familiar" I heard someone whisper

"Go on" Mr. Bello said urging me to continue

I looked at him confused. "Tell us what your parents do" Mr. Bello suggested but it sounded more like a command

"My mum owns FYK clothing brand" I said looking at my shoes. I was so embarrassed

"Ehn-eh, I knew it. She's the daughter of that gold-digger woman" someone whispered again

"She you did not know ni, even her surname tells everything" another person whispered

"She looks gold-digger material" another person whispered

One reason I didn't want to introduce myself at all. God why na.

"Please return to your seat" Mr. Bello said

Me that I want to go since sef. I returned to my seat and put my head on the table. I wanted the ground to swallow me.

"Now this is your test week and I hope all of you give your best shot, understood?" Mr. Bello announced

"Yes sir" the class chorused except me

"You will be having Mathematics test in 10 minutes, please be ready" Mr. Bello said and left

Mr. Bello came back. "Alessia, please follow me for your attendance register. Yemisi also come along" Mr. Bello said .

I saw sly-smiling girl stand up and follow Mr. Bello. I quickly stood up and followed them.
