Chapter Forty

Monday morning came quickly and everyone was still talking about Semiloore and Tamiloore birthday party.

Apparently no one had noticed the ruckus Semiloore caused at the back of the party.

"Be prepared to watch the best debate of your life" Semiloore yelled in the bus.

"Huh?"

"Tamiloore practiced over night"Semiloore said proudly.

"Whoa!"

The debate was the first thing that morning so almost everyone was in attendance. Tamiloore didn't shake the opponents hands as usual and so were her counter parts arousing attention and noise in the hall.

Akin wore a cold face at the attitude of the juniors in front of him.

"Goodluck" the second speaker said and Tamiloore shrugged and went to seat down. Akin was the first as usual and as usual he was flawless and earned a standing ovation from everyone.

Silence engulfed the hall as Tamiloore picked up the mic. The vibe she was emitting was so so different and it was almost deadly. The way she spoke was so different as she stated her points carefully.

She had a gift, the ability to capture her audience and put them all in a trance. And that was what she did and even the timekeeper was almost carried away. She even ended before the timekeeper could ring the first warning bell.

There was a yell from Semiloore and everyone fell back from their trance. There was a loud ovation as the principal even stood up to clap.

"And now that's a debate"

They other speakers spoke and it was time for the second round and this time around Tamiloore was seen whispering to her counterparts as they nodded.

Akin came up to speak again and as usual earned a standing ovation. Tamiloore picked up the mic and tackled every single point he had said earning laughter from the audience.

The second speaker from SS3 tried to take back their glory but SS2 second speaker had tackled all the points again.

"Akin, what's wrong with Tamiloore?"

"Is she really mad about what happened?"

"Are you still asking?"

"Just see how they have finished us"

By the end of debate everybody was already yelling
"Tamiloore! Tamiloore! "

Tamiloore wore a huge grin as she glanced across the audience. The judges didn't even have to announce the winner. When they asked the opponents to shake each other, Tamiloore just bowed.

"You didn't have to do that, Tammy" Akin said and Tamiloore sneered.

"You are not allowed to call me that. You lost your right to"

"Still you shouldn't have acted like this"

"I did it because you are a jerk. An amazing one"

"You hate me now?" Akin asked.

Tamiloore laughed "The very sight of you disgusts me. To think that this whole school reverences you and think you are a deity. I wish I could tell them you are a scum,a scum of the earth"

"Hey! You can't talk to your senior like that"

"I can do whatever I want" Tamiloore said as she turned and threw her hands up with a big smile.

Nathaniel glanced at Semiloore "That was mad"

"Told ya".

SSS2 students were still hailing Tamiloore. She quickly wore her way towards Theo who was standing at a corner.
