#School Days – EPISODE 13 ********************************** Whoever name that was called out doesn’t really matter at the moment, I’ll leave that to your imagination, but the only clue I’ll give you is ‘it’s who you think’. So enough about Junior days, I think I’ve done enough justice to that, let’s talk about my senior years. *** A lot has changed since JJS1, for starter, I and Stanley don’t really talk that much anymore, we had a misunderstanding so things with us changed drastically. I made new friends who I’ll introduce to you as time goes on, but the closest among them happens to be a certain Dolapo and Efemena. Whereas Dolapo is a cute dude, a dancer, an artist who can draw almost anything and also a ladies guy who as expected is a player, Efe is a pretty reserved dude, likewise cute too but not a player, he is amazingly a faithful guy, he doesn’t stay too long with a particular girl but when he is dating a girl, he is ONLY the girl. In the middle of them both is me, am no longer that serious trouble maker whose life style was ‘One day, two wahala’, but am now a pretty smart kid, I’ve picked up in my academics and am doing really well, I’ve also grown to be a tall, dark handsome dude. Amongst the three of us, am the only one who no girl notices, or so I thought. One more thing, I and Dolapo are class mates, while Dolapo and Efe are both in the cross house so both of them ain’t in my house, if you don’t understand what I just said, read it again . Okay, enough about the introduction. Back to my story… *** Class – SS1 (first term). Year – two thousand and something (200x) Venue – classroom, during afternoon prep. The class is filled up to the brim with boys and girls of SS1F and some visitors from other class who have their individual secret agenda for prepping in the class. SS1F happens to be my new class, as we were all sorted out into – Art, Commercial, science and Technical. SS1 F and A were only art classes. I had a passion for law and probably still do, so I some how found myself in an art class since law is an art subject. Less I forget, SS1F also happens to be the headquarters for fine girls, big boys, bad girls and of course – bad boys. I really wonder how come I always end up in the midst of such people when am a totally good boy or ain’t I? *wink* (don’t bother answering that, am not sure I want to hear your reply). NB: if you don’t know what I mean by ‘bad boys’ then forget it. I and Dolapo sat in the classroom just gisting about random stuffs when he suddenly says something that was unexpected, thus the following conversation; Dolapo: (clears throat) O boy, shey you know say you dey fvck up? Me: (looking surprised) Me? fvck up? How na? Dolapo: Look around you, everybody for this class get babe, even Richard, that short woor woor boy Me: (looks around and sees he is right so try to defend myself) How that one come take concern me? I no get time for girls jhur Dolapo: (laughs out loud) Oga! Bone that thing jhur, that’s what all guys say until they feel the laps of a girl Me: (sarcastic look) Hmmm, so what’s your point now? Dolapo: You need to get a babe na, how fresh boy like you go dey single? It’s not just right Me: (sighs) Hmmm… Errr.. I get one small problem Dolapo: (smiles as I now seem interested) which kind problem? Ask me and Dolls would solve it for you. Me: (looks away shy) I no sabi as girl out, I’ve never really done it. Dolapo: (fighting hard to suppress the laughter this is seemingly piling up) wait wait wait! You dey try tell me say you never get babe before? Me: (feeling so embarrassed) err.. Maybe. Dolapo: (can’t hold the laughter anymore so bursts out loud in laughter, therefore making everybody to turn and look at the madman who doesn’t want them to read) Me: (regretting to have told Dolls about my relationship status) what’s so funny now? Dolapo: (still giggling) No vex jhur, its just that its funny na, I didn’t expect someone like you not to be able to express his feelings to a girl na. Me: well you expected wrong, (tries to change the topic) anyway, let’s just forget about it, I’m busy self, I need to finish copying this C.R.K note before tomorrow, you know say that useless woman told us to copy the whole Psalm 81 into our notes, only God knows what she want us to do with it. Dolapo: (looking serious)guy! Forget the note first, let’s talk about your life. Me: (raised eyebrow) hmmm, My life ke? Dolapo: (raises voice) yes, your life!. Me: (confused) hmmm, What are you talking about now? Dolapo: nawa for you o, shey you wan remain single? Me: (thinking) why this guy dey take my matter serious like this na? Shey na by force say I must get babe? Anyway, let me see where this is heading to. (Reply out loud) No, I don’t want to, but I no sabi toast na. Dolapo: (smiles) don’t worry about that yet, let’s find the right girl for you first (sees the change of my facial impression) hmmm, wait oh, do you already have someone in mind? Me: (nods sheepishly) Dolapo: which girl be that? Hope say she fine oh? Me: err.. Na Midstream student o, you fit no know am. NB: Midstream students are made up of students who join a set in the SS1 or JSS2 either by a transfer from another federal school or a new intake. Dolapo: do you think there is any girl in our set that I don’t know of? Fine, ugly, fat, slim, dull, intelligent… Etc..? Me: (hails him) hmmm, oba babes!!! NB: Oba means King in yoruba so I guess you know what I mean. Dolapo: forget that thing jhur, oya, what’s the name of the girl? Me: (emphasize on ‘yet’) I don’t know her name YET, but… Dolapo: (cuts in) O boy, you too dey slack o, how you go see girl wey you like and you no even know her name? You know what? Me: what? Dolapo: immediately after prep, you go go show me the babe. Me: that won’t really be necessary. Dolapo: you dey fear ni? You no go follow am talk yet, I just wan see… Me: (pissed) guy shut up first make I land!!! Dolapo: Okay, I don shut up, oya land na. Me: (sighs in relief) we don’t need to go and look for her because she is already in this class. Dolapo: (raised eye brow) really? Me: yes! Dolapo: hmmm, okay, show me the girl. Me: use sense look the girl oh, na that Niger house girl wey dey beside Chioma for that last corner. Dolapo: which last corner, left or right? Me: left. Dolapo: (stylishly looks back in one swift move and face me almost immediately looking shocked and surprised) errr.. Michael.. Me: (looking confused) yea? She no fine reach? Dolapo: errr.. Its not that. That girl name is Jane and… (Pauses) Me: (getting impatient) and what? Dolapo: and… You remember that time for JSS 2 wey one guy give Harold one blow and hin end up for hospital? Me: ehh na, no be that bully, Segun wey blow Harold? laugh wan kill me that day, I dey pity the Harold guy till today self. Dolapo: okay, good, thank God you remember. Segun don already dey on the girl matter… Me: (I asked looking disappointed and sad, I’ve had a crush on the Jane girl ever since I laid my eyes on her) asin? Hin don dey runs they girl abi na still toasting things? Dolapo: na still toasting things but unless you wan chop your own blow and end up in a cemetery, you better look for another girl, Jane is a no go area for now. Me: (replies confidently) guy! Na Jane I want and if I don’t get Jane, ama remain single till we graduate! Dolapo: (sighs) are you sure you wanna risk this? Me: do I look unsure to you? Dolapo: hmmm, okay then, we go start the package for night prep and I no go forgive you if Segun blow me oh, I hear say hin and Bash Alli don they train together self. Me: (laughs) on a more serious note, I don’t know how to toast a girl oh. Dolapo: don’t worry about that, you don’t seem to know how lucky you are to have me as your friend. Me: (sighs) Okay then, what’s the time on your wrist watch self. Dolapo: (glances at wrist watch) 6:15pm. Me: prep suppose end by 6:00 pm na, make we dey go hostel jhur. Dolapo: oya na… We both pack our books, the books that we ended up not reading up to a complete page, as we are about to leave the class, I look back at Jane and smile thinking; ‘If you knew what I was about to risk because of you, you wouldn’t wait for me to ask you out before you know how much am into you’ TO BE CONTINUED ***************** Watch0ut For Episode 14
