"What subjects do you think I should write in jamb?" Rachel asked, Ifechi's mind was elsewhere.

Damien had won the race.

Not that it surprised her.

But he was wrong to think that she was still naive. She left the field immediately the race was over, Damien couldn't possibly think that she was going to forget everything over a stupid race did he?

"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Rachel's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"What?" Ifechi replied slightly irritated, Rachel sighed involuntarily.

"Have you filled your jamb form?"

Ifechi stared at the blank form in her hand. "Not yet, I need to ask my parents some things when I get home"

Rachel nodded in understanding and was about to speak when something or rather someone, two people caught her attention.

"Urgh!" She said in disgust causing Ifechi to look up. Aliyah was with a tall dark guy, a classmate from class B, the two were standing unusually close while they chatted with Aliyah occasionally touching him whenever she laughed. Ifechi didn't see anything wrong with the interaction even though they seemed to be flirting, but Rachel had another ideas.

"She's such a slut, barely one week since she got dumped and she's already found a new fling..." she spat. Ifechi recalled someone.

"Who's Deji?"

Rachel stopped talking.

"What?" She asked feigning ignorance.

"Who's Deji?" Ifechi repeated.

"Wh....who...where did you hear about him?"

"I heard..."

"...It wasn't me!" Rachel blurted taking Ifechi by surprise.
"I mean... He was just a friend?" She lied

"Just a friend?"

"Yes. We used to talk before... Before he started asking me out..."

"Then..."

She dropped her pen suddenly "I don't know Ifechi, maybe try asking the gossip who told you I did something to tell you what I did!" She said and stormed off.

"Geez"

The next day she asked Dami.

"He's a former classmate, he used to go to this school until he left" she replied while they jogged round the field as part of the new compulsory 'fitness routine' that was imposed as inter-house sports was near.

"Only?" Ifechi asked feeling dissatisfied. Of course she knew he used to go to the school, what she needed was what happened to him and why Grace used him as an example of what may happen to her.

Dami turned to her. "Why are you so concerned?"

"You mentioned him once"

Dami raised a brow. "Did I?"

"Yeah you did...when Anita started hanging out with Rachel and co, you said something about what they did to him"

"Oh.." Dami said in realization, what followed was a scoff. "Well now you're worried about Rachel huh? I told you this friendship she started forming with you will only bring trouble"
