           DANIEL'S POV

"Why did you dare her to partake in the competition?" I ask Boma who waves me off. "Why na?"

"I wanted to see if Sammy will do it. The girl no dey gree oo. She is determined to do it sef," he responds while laughing.

"The problem here is that she is doing it with Gabriel," I sigh and plop unto my seat. He draws a chair from its desk to my side and sits beside me.

"I've settled that. If they call you to participate, please do oo"

I nod.

"Because I just convince Gabriel to opt out and you will definitely be the best substitute"

"But everyone in school knows I don't like such competitions"

"Yeah. That's before I came to change their minds"

"Ah! What did you do?"

"I gave them a reason to pick you as our representative," he smirks. "Will you do it?"

"Yes na! A chance to be with Sam is highly welcomed oo"

There is a light knock on the door. "Please, where is Senior Daniel? A teacher is calling him"

I wave at him.

"Yes!" he rushes to me. "Mrs Lola is calling you she is in the staff room".

"Thank you," I reply.

"If she asks you, say yes you will do it," Boma exclaims and forces me up. "I want you to be Mr Prime High".

I agree and leave. I head to the staff room and the teacher signs me up for the contest.

Just when I'm leaving the room, Sam is stomping towards it.

"Hello, sweetheart" I call out. She strides to my front and grip my collar.

"Never ever call me sweetheart. Don't taste my patience. I'm dangerous," she growls.

"Calm down na. I don't bite," I chuckle.

"But I do. I just don't bite, I punch and injure my victims," she says and shrugs. "Better protect your pretty face".

"Try smiling often, angel. It will fit you," I smirk.

Her already scrunched up face goes darker with fury. She clenches her fists. The door to the staff room opens and Mrs Lola walks out.

"Good Afternoon ma," Sam says, ignoring me.

"Good Afternoon. Do you want to see me? I have a class right now"

"Yes ma. I want to see you. It is regarding the Mr and Miss Prime High contest. I don't want to participate anymore. I'm not interested"

Mrs Lola's lashes goes up and down and she takes in her sight. "And why is that?"

"I don't believe in displeasing myself ma. I don't want to do it as long as Daniel is involved. Thank you ma. I'm sure there are other girls interested in it," she spins on her heels, bumps me intentionally and storms off.

See how plan just scatter.

"I'm not doing the competition again ma," I say and shrug nonchalantly. "As the Head boy, I'll be too busy during the event. Let me give other boys chance to participate. Bye ma".

"What's all these rubbish?" she yells. "I'll pick the people to represent myself".

I follow her as she marches to the class. She picks a boy, Deji in Art class and proceeds to pick Anna in Science class.
