"Wetin be dat?" he asks.

"She's on her period, she's not feeling fine," I say again.

Vivian is going to kill me

"Ah! Make I call madam" he says.

"No!!!" I say out of instinct.

"Vivian doesn't want her mom to worry about her, my mom is taking care of her don't worry," I say.

"Ehen, okay"

Thank you, God. I silently said some prayers.

"We don reach oh"

" Thank you, sir," I said.

I immediately jump out of the car and start running towards my class.
Immediately I hit my sit, Mr. William enters the class.

************************************************************************

It is currently lunch break, and Emeka and I are arguing about which is better Coke or Pepsi.

I kept on telling him that it is Coke, but he still insisted that rubbish excuse for a drink is better.

Well, it's his own opinion.

As for me, I know that Coke is better than Pepsi.

" Senior Lewa Coach David said I should call you," a junior said to me.

"Why is the coach calling me?" I asked.

"I don't know"

"Olodo, you have already forgotten why you are here," my conscience says to me.

"Okay, tell him I am coming," I said.

I finish eating my food and go to the administrative building to meet the coach.
I saw him talking to a guy, and I walked up to him.

"Sir, I was called," I say.

"Yes! Iwalewa right?"

"Yes sir," I say.

" You are the girl on.."

"Yes, sir I am the girl who runs track" I interrupt him because there are students In the staff room.

"Okay, I called you to let you know that training is starting in about ten minutes," he said.

How do these people even think?

" I can't sir, I just finished eating," I said.

" Oh yeah, then we will postpone it to closing time," he said.

"Yes sir," I said and left the staff room.

************************************************************************

"Thirty-six seconds, good job Lewa"
"Amaka forty-five seconds? You can do better than that" he said.

I just mumbled thanks so that Amaka won't feel bad.

I walked over to the side of the track to stretch so that I can take the last lap and leave.

Luckily for me, I didn't really get questions about Vivian. I guess everyone is already used to her constant absence.

I get up after stretching and return to my lane for my last lap when I see Emeka sprinting. Our eyes meet, but he looks away to finish his race.

I didn't know he ran track.

************************************************************************

" I am sooo tired" I whined dropping on my bed.

I picked up my phone to see if I have gotten any texts from Vi.

From bestie 👑♥️

Got home safely, thanks for covering for me ily to bits♥️

I switch off my phone and go to the bathroom to bathe.

I'm about to sleep when I come out before I get a notification. I open my phone to check who it is, and I see an unknown number.
I decide to open the text
