Anyone but him

Chapter 1🌹

Nifemi's POV

Secondary school, to me has always been a pain in the ass. Most especially when a bad name got added to my list of names.

Added? Pfffft, I mean replaced by my original name.

I wonder if people at school even know my real name. But the name given to me by them was so famous, it was at the tip of every new comers tongue, and the story behind it gets passed from set to set like the school's freaking year book.

My name is Nifemi Adeniyi, and this is going to be another bad term for me. All thanks to.........

“Guyyyy” I heard a voice call out to me as I felt my body being shook back into reality.

I immediately snapped my head towards Dorcas as she stared at me in confusion.

“Let's go” She ordered as I scanned my environment before getting up and following her down the school's hallway.

I had finished with the test over 20 minutes ago, but I was waiting for Dorcas to finish up.

“What were you thinking about so deeply?!” She asked me as I shot her a questioning smile before shaking my head in denial.

I wasn't that deep in thoughts.

“Anywaysss, I'm glad we are finally done with that dumb welcome test. My brain needs to rest” She told me as I laughed at her words.

“We just resumed this week.” I reminded her as we found our way out of the hallway, into the lunch hall.

The smell of freshly made jollof rice hit my face as my mouth couldn't help but salivate.

“Ehn, but still...” She trailed off, probably not having anything to back herself up.

“Nife!!!” I heard a loud yell as my face lit up at the sound of that voice.

I looked behind me as I felt someone crash into me roughly.

“Owwww!” I yelped as I rubbed the spot that hurt on my forehead before adjusting my big rimmed glasses.

“Sorry, sorry” Simisola told me hurriedly as she also slightly massaged her forehead with excitement written all over her face.

I wonder what is making her all pumped up.

“Took you guys long enough!” She complained looking at both me and Dora.

“Anywaysss.....” She started as she waved her hands, dismissing her complain.

“There is news o” She continued as she pulled Dora and I closer and wrapped bother her arms around our neck, walking us towards where we would be served our food.

I think I knew what this big news was.

“What?! They accepted your idea of a welcome to school party?!” Dorcas asked with boredom laced in her voice.

Yikesss!

Way to spoil her announcement.

“How did you know?!” Simi asked her turning to face her suspiciously.

How wouldn't she know?!

Simi had been going on about her idea of a welcome to school party since we vacated, last term.

But it was still a bit unbelievable, though.

Why would they accept such a crazy idea?!

“Because you have been rambling about, how much you wanted them to accept it since last year” Dorcas replied as I widened my eyes.
