I laid down on my back to the bed as I scrolled through the countless messages in our class group chat with my phone. School is resuming tomorrow and my classmates are making a big fuss about the whole thing. On a norms, they are not people to get excited about school. But the fact that we won't be going back to SSS2 class...

The fact that we are now final year students  of Winston High School...

~Esther
So we're now SS3 students like this?
No one has power over us. Like I'm screaming freedom

Gabriel 🤗
SS3 ke? No ooo. We're now in JSS2 like this 🙄🙄

Stephanie 😍
@Gabriel This boy ehhn 😅
I'm shaa happy. Being in SSS3 is such a big flex

~Funmilayo
Like I can't wait for our graduation.  It's gonna be lit. Going to be the best ever in the history of Winston High

Gabriel 🤗
@Funmilayo Graduation? Really??? Wait,na so una dey do for here?

I chuckled at Gabriel's words. I don't blame him though. How can graduation be the thing on Funmilayo's mind at the moment?
We're yet to resume first term and..

I put my thoughts to a stop as I shifted my glance to the door because I heard a knock

"Come in"

I already know it's Joshua cos he's the only one that has the decency to knock in this mansion
He opened the door and sauntered  leisurely into my room.
One hand in  his pocket and the other hand wrapped around his phone

"Wassup bro"

He said with a smile on his face as he sat on my bed and tossed his phone carelessly on it

"I'm good. Just reading the class group chats.
I mean what's the hype about this SSS3 thing?"

"Well, I kind of think this final year is going to be special. I mean, my instincts tells me it's going to be eventful"
He stated with dreamy eyes

Oshey. Mr eventful

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind. I immediately adjusted to a sitting position and smiled mischievously

"And by eventful, you mean you're finally going to let Stephanie know of your feelings for her right?"

"Eh? No no no. Giselle, that's not what I mean. Yeah, I intend on letting her know how I feel but.. but... but
It's just that..."

"SHUT UP THERE!!!"

I interrupted and we burst into a fit of laughter

"Like what are you saying? Omo. This your crush is getting out of hand. Right from while we were in SSS1. Haba!  Try to let her know how you feel and stop babbling like a horse about to lay eggs"
