The Final Year (vol 1)

Busted

"It is not that big" I shrugged but he only narrowed his eyes at me "I take my words back, it is biggggg..." I stretch out my hands straining my words.

"When were you going to tell us?" Tomi asked quietly.

Was i ever going to tell them? Yes but not immediately.

"I was going to tell you. I just want to feel more comfortable, you know?, get to know you guys more. And also for security reasons" I pointed out playing with my fancy tie to distract me a little.

"Security reasons? Don't tell me people are after you" he joked but my serious face made him shut "or there are" I sigh taking a seat on a lone chair probably placed there by a forgetful student.

"Don't tell me you are in a sort of princess protection program?" Tomi asked before gasping dramatically "are you being monitored or followed? Like a secret camera some where?"

Tomi freaked out looking around frantically as Femi shook his head in disapproval, folding his arms as i calm her down.

"No. There is no program anywhere neither do i have a freakish camera on me" I inhaled. "Look guys, all i want is a normal year in my last days at school. I don't want you to see me as a spoilt billionaire daughter but as your friend, your roomie" I throw her a small smile in which she returns. "I want normal, please make it normal, for me?"

They both exchange stares before nodding as i smile.

"Not to spoil the happy mood or anything but don't you think that will be difficult... I mean everyone in our one thousand metre radius knows who you are" Femi reasoned as Tomi nodded.

"He is right Teni... You live in Ikoyi, i reside in Surulere, it is a weird combination. I feel like am the odd one out"

"As they say opposite attracts. That doesn't matter as long as i have you guys"

"What about the rumours?"

"Believe what you want to believe but most of them aren't true. I mean, me standing here is a living testimony. They are from hungry gossipers from my ex school, the scavenge on craps about me and feed people with lies"

Femi let out a sigh as i see Tomi shoulders relax. So that was what they were worried about, the rumors... My reputation.

"That is more calming coming from you"

"But i do live up to my name, am not called the Ice queen for nothing" I smirk as Tomi chuckled. "So... We are good?" They both nodded as i grinned "Brilliant, so how was your mid term break?"

Grace grace

Grace that will cover and cleanse within

Grace grace

Grace that is greater than all our sins....

The students hummed an echoing AMEN at the end of the hymn as we all bow her heads for a word of prayer which was led by the chaplain.

It was a Wednesday afternoon and all Christian students were in the hall for the fellowship.

By the end of the term, the school will be hosting their annual Christmas Carol. I heard it was going to be big, as always....

I felt someone sit beside me as there was a shift in the calm air. I opened an eye to peep at the fellow but they flew open as i stare wide eye at a smirking Shubomi.

"Hey love" he whispered closely to my ear as i pushed him back a little since he was invading my privacy.

"I don't think this is the right place to say whatever you have to say" I said before closing my eyes and clasping my hand to God in forgiveness .
