Hey guys,

I want to let you know that this chapter has a little bit of pidgin English.

But I translated everything that was said in Pidgin.

I added pidgin because it's a common language in Nigeria and I wanted Rhys and you to have a little bit of that local Nigerian vibe.

You may be seeing more of other languages in the following chapters but I promise to translate.

Hold tight and enjoy

“I told you today is going to be a little different from what we usually do” Bishop said loudly so that his voice could be heard above the noise.

Everyone started to whisper among themselves again.

“Come on, don't be like that. No rhymes today_”

The general class response was negative.

“But_ but we are going to be dropping some catch lines”

The response turned a whole one-eighty. Everyone seemed excited.

“Much better. Let the best player win!”

The class cheered.

The first person to stand up was the guy that Bishop had addressed to as Comrade.

“Person wey dey waka with chair, you sabi wetin dem dey call am?” he asked. /Do you know what a person who walks about with chair is called?/

“What?” a few people asked.

“Chairperson” he replied.

The class hooted with excitement. People were running around the class with a lot of enthusiasm while others did the bruh kind of handshakes with him.

Though I didn't understand all that he said, the pieces added up and made a bit of sense to me.

“Do you know what a pool for poor people is called?” Iveren was the one who asked.

“No!” the class replied.

“Purple” she replied.

The class roared again.

When the class calmed a bit Gold stood up, “What about a pool for dead people” she asked.

The class was dead silent.
Everyone was pondering on a possible answer.

“Deadpool” a reply came from an unknown source.

The class roared yet again.

Are we not making too much noise?
Nah! It's fine.
Our voices will hardly reach the door.

“Ed has no girlfriend, because Sheeran away!” Jake said with a stupid smile on his face.
The class cheered and patted him.

“Let’s hear from Rhys” someone said....wait what?...and the others agreed.

My eyes widened in surprise, what am I supposed to say?

“I'll say mine then Rhys can say hers after me” Bishop said and stared at me with amusement.

Yay! At least he was giving me more time to come up with something.

He mouthed a thank_me_later and I just smiled back.

“Una sabi something about me?” he asked. /Do you know something about me?/

“No” the class replied.
