Chapter 52

"Also a lot of dignitaries are going to be here today"

"Five minutes is up" Rebecca said with a grin.

"Pass me my bag"

"Nope. I'll carry it. You have to be very cool"

Semiloore gave her a wink as she turned and started walking.

"Wait! Wait!"

"Isn't that Semiloore?"

"Which Semiloore?"

"How many do you know?"

"Oh my god"

"Its Semiloore"

"Its Semiloore"

Students were running to see her.

"Whoa!"

"This is far more than I expected"

A few people had come to talk to her. A girl walked forward and Semiloore stopped.

"Is she Nigerian?"

"And half French" Semiloore replied

"No wonder she looks like that"

"Semiloore, its been a while" the girl said in a firm voice with a smile.

"Julianna, its so nice to see you"

Everybody wasn't expecting what happened next. The girl rushed forward and hugged Semiloore.

"Am so sorry I couldn't do anything"

Semiloore laughed slightly "Am fine now"

"How's your new school?"

"Its fine"

"Won't you introduce me to your friends?"

"Hmmm... Guys this is Abrey Julian and from LASMOCK,  Julianna this is Rebecca, Timi, Olamide, Christian and my boyfriend Nathaniel"

"Huh? Your boyfriend? Hi Nathaniel"

"Hello"

"Hello everyone"

"Hello"

"Its so nice to see you again. You are even more pretty"

"You are still glowing as well"

"Jeez.. I already had high hopes for this year competition seems like this is our bus stop"

Semiloore winked at her in return.  "Don't worry he's taking the first round. If you manage to get in the top five, you should make it"

"So much if an encouragement"

"Thank you"

Julianna turned and scoffed "They actually came to check if it was really you"

Uphead was a group of students wearing the same uniform. One could recognize Hilltop purple uniforms anywhere. Since they all wore the same uniform across the country.

Semiloore smirked "They replaced me with her?"

Julianna nodded as they started walking towards them. "Don't tell me they actually want to strike a conservation with you?"

"Who's this?"

"Middle bitch, Adeniran Winifred. Biggest bitch at Hicol Lag. She's has some ancestors who are monkeys too. Next to her is my ex partner, Oluwadeleye Oluwadamilare, biggest coward existing but all those vanishes when sees those tabs. Ranked number four fastest. The two of his back is Alaba Bukola and Bamisaye Ruth. They don't hold much importance, they are just lackeys. Others are Helen, Tobi, Aminat and Blessing. And actually the other guy who's wearing glasses is Akintunde Davis. He's an half friend but still you should humiliate him at least"

"Half friend?"

"I used to like him"

"What happened?"

"He rejected you?"

"Nah. He never gave me an answer and the next thing I knew he had a girlfriend and when I tried to approach him, he embarrassed me"

Nath frowned "You liked him?"

Semiloore pouted at him "I too was wondering if I was blind back then"

Christian shook his head "You were blind"

Rebecca smirked "They aren't even fine eh?"

"See who we have here" Winifred said with a smile. "Semiloore, its been quite a while. Its good to see you"

"Sorry but its not the same here. I feel like throwing up seeing your face"

Her face flashed between green and white.

"Is that you talk to a former classmate?" Bukola asked

"Former classmate? Did I hear you well?"

"It seems like you've made good friends at your new school. Hello everyone, am..."

"Adeniran Winifred, Semiloore already told us your name" Rebecca interrupted

"She did? Winifred is too long, you can call me Winnie. Its nice to meet you all" She said with a bright smile. She stretched her hand towards Nath.

"What's your name? Nice to meet you"

"Nathaniel. Sorry I don't take handshakes"

"Huh?"

They all laughed slightly.

"Its okay though. What about the rest of you?"

"Its not like you'll remember our names aftermath, why bother asking?" Peter asked calmly

"You look and sound different from how Semiloore described you though" Rebecca said looking skeptical.

"How did she describe me?"

"Let me repeat her words, Adeniran Winifred, the biggest bitch you can think if. She thinks she has a perfect body but she actually looks stupid. She's annoying sassy and ugly. Also one of her ancestors is a monkey" Rebecca said with a straight face that the onlookers burst into laughter.

Winifred's face flashed in green.

"What?"

"You sounded nice just now"

"Semiloore! How dare you?!"

"That's exactly how you are like right?"

"I had thought you all would look great but here you all are. Looking ordinary while everyone treated you guys like gods"

"Excuse me?"

"Hicol Lag, its a school with dysfunctional people" Rebecca said before turning to the onlookers.

"Hi everyone, my name is Rebecca and I met a few of Hicol Lag students a few months ago. I'll tell you all something, most of them are dysfunctional people. They are crazy. Some of them ancestors were monkeys. I'll translate in the language you understand. They are brilliant and stupid, attributes of monkeys"

Everyone burst into laughter as Rebecca glanced at them "I really don't fine anything great about Hicol Lag"

"What's great about school too?" One of the girls and Rebecca gathered all her energy and smiled. She looked breathtaking in those few seconds.

"First, Oxford is more like a family than a school and if any school could achieve that;they are great already. That's not the same for your school right?"

"Hi Semiloore" Dare said timidly

"Hi Dare, how have you been?"

"Well"

"I see"

"How's Tamiloore?"

"She's fine"

"Hmmm"  

"Semiloore"  Davis called as he stepped forward

"Hi Davis"

"Eh, so you are Davis?"

"Yeah, you?"

"Ya! Semiloore you liked this guy? Were you blind?"

Davis flashed green as well.

"Excuse me?"

"Semiloore told you she liked you right?"

"Yes"

"She takes it back"

"Pardon? She needed eye glasses back then. Hope could she be so blind?"

"About then, Semiloore am really sorry. I remember not giving you an answer back then"

"So?"

"Semiloore, let's date"

"That's a joke right?"

Christian burst into laughter as he glanced at Nathaniel's face. The latter was about to burst from fury. Nathaniel pulled Semiloore by the waist towards him. Semiloore laughed as she wrapped her hands round him too.

"Hey boo, your jealous shade is cute"

"Ya! Mr Davis. That's her boyfriend. Can you stand beside him?" Rebecca mocked.

Even Davis couldn't disagree with her. This guy was handsome. He was just.... just the aura he excluded, he couldn't beat that.

"Do you now agree she was blind to tell you she likes you?"

Unconsciously Davis nodded his head and the everyone burst into laughter.

"This is a waste of time. Why are you here?"

Semiloore chuckled as she turned "Ya! Kola!"

A boy turned and looked at her "Semiloore" he chuckled slightly as he walked towards her.

"Adebayo Kolawole, ranked number three fastest"

"Number three?"

"Yeah"

Kola slipped his hands into his pockets. "You still didn't work on that "ya" of yours"

"Hi Kola"

"Its nice to see you"

"Same"

"What are you doing here?"

Kola raised an eyebrow at her "Seriously Semiloore?"

"I wasn't the one who asked, it was Winnie"

Kola glanced at Winnie and scoffed "So much for an idiot"

"You look really good, you look better"

"Guys, this is Kola, Kola this is Rebecca, Timi, Peter, Olamide and Christian. And finally this is my boyfriend Nathaniel"

Something flashed in Kola's eyes but it went as soon as it came but Christian saw it. "Nice to meet all of you"

"Same here"

"There's a newbie around us, I need to teach her a few things. I'll see you in the hall"

"Bye"

Semiloore turned to Winnie "What do you think? I came here to wreck Hicol Lag? Of course. That's what I came to do"

"Huh?"

"You can't do that"

"What do you mean I can't do that? Am representing my school"

"Semiloore!"

They all turned to see a pretty girl walking towards them.

"Who's that?"

"She's pretty"

"Oladun Imisi, ranked second fastest"

"Second? After you?"

"Yeah"

The girl wore a big smile as she jumped to their front. She glanced at Nath and froze. "Can you please remove your hand from her for a while? I need to hug her"

Nath didn't reply as he released her. Next she jumped on Semiloore. Semiloore laughed when she noticed her shoulder getting wet.

"Hey! Are you crying?"

She shifted back and hugged her again.

"I missed you"

Semiloore pursed her lips as she patted her back.

"You are glowing. Is Akure nice?"

"Yeah"

"Your new school?"

"Fine. Meet my friends"

"Hello"

"Hello"

"Finally you are here"

"Of course"

"I was already getting bored with all other semi-finals and nonsense. I missed you badly, I sincerely wished you would come and here you are"

"I would never disappoint you"

Imisi stretched her hands forward and backwards "Its just feels like a competition now"

Just then the siren went off. "Let's go" Imisi said signaling to others from her school to follow.

"Is that your boyfriend?"

"Yeah"

"He's so cute that am getting jealous"

"Shut up" Semiloore said playfully glancing at Nathaniel as they walked into the hall.
