SS2 3rd term.--Isoken's alarm clock went off and the noise woke her up. She stood up and went straight to the bathroom.

It was revision week; the last day of revision week to be precise. She had been wearing tights since the beginning of the term, but she didn't feel like wearing them today. So she wore her pink cherry panties, then put on her uniform and skipped to the dining room for breakfast.

After eating she went back to her room to tidy up, before grabbing her bag and mini MP3. Her mom informed her yesterday that she would be arriving late to pick her today, and she didn't want to be bored.

Even though it was against the school rules to bring personal devices, she doubted anyone would find out.

She went downstairs to inform her mom that she was ready, while her mom told her to get in the car and wait.

Ten minutes later...her mom walked out of the house and moved towards the car. After she was seated and strapped in, she turned the key to start the car but it refused to start. She gave it a few more tries, which didn't work, before deciding to go back into the house for another car key.

This time they would be driving her dad's car. He didn't take it when he left for his business trip.

Once they were seated and strapped in, she turned to face her mom, "Mom, Dad said not to touch his car." Her mom smiled and said, "On our wedding day, I'm pretty sure he said 'whatever is mine is yours' so this car of his is mine." Then she started the car.

'Wow' She thought, no wonder some men can't win an argument against their wife.

She got to school and went straight to class. Assemblies weren't conducted during revision week. Her seatmate Johnny, who was an annoying guy, was with his friends. Out of boredom, she decided to check on Lola for more than one reason.

Social science class was just right next to hers, while science class was a few classes away.

Emmanuel was in social science class and seeing as Lola was her friend, she could go there often, a blessing in disguise.

She met Lola talking to her other friends, she greeted them and sat beside Lola. While seated beside her, she took the opportunity to scan the classroom for Emmanuel and spotted him with a book on his hands, then she sighed.

'He's so dreamy, how can anyone make reading look so interesting. And he is so concentra–' Her train of thought was cut-off by Lola's tap.

She looked at her with a frown, then Lola said, "You are being too obvious."

"I am just gonna go back to my class." She said, not knowing how to react to being too obvious, then rushed back to her class.

...

lunch break.--Dami, Sonia and her, went to Lola's classroom to eat. They talked and laughed a lot, practically disturbing everyone in social science class, but they rushed out before they could make anyone angry.

At 1:30 pm.--The bell rang for closure of school. Isoken went to the practice room and stood by the windows to survey the school surroundings. When everywhere looked deserted, which was half an hour later, she brought out her mini MP3 and pressed play.

She danced to some Naija songs first, then had to switch dance moves as an American song came on. It went on like this for a while, before she heard bluestone alley playing.

She figured that ballet dance would go well with this music; she was pumped to dance ballet. Since she had a free space, she closed her eyes while being conscious of her surroundings and danced.

She was just fooling around but when it got to a part in the music, she wanted to split up in the air, like those professional ballet dancers.

So she closed her eyes, split and nailed it. She opened her eyes then turned to initiate the next move; she thought she saw a figure at the door when she turned and decided to check.

She turned and saw him looking at her, but he was frozen.

'Oh gawd!' At first she was puzzled, then instantly remembered that she wasn't wearing any tights. Realization hit her hard; he had seen her panties.

She decided to act first by going to turn off the mini MP3. He was no longer frozen when she turned back; had walked into the classroom.

"Please don't seize my MP3."

"You're an assistant prefect, you know this is against the rules." He said.

"I do, but school is going to end soon and school has already closed."

"So why did you bring it?" He asked.

"My mom's coming to pick me up late, and I knew there would be nothing for me to do while I waited, so I brought it."

"Well, I guess I can let this one slide." He said. She was thrilled when she heard this. If it was the former seniors, back when she was in SS1, they wouldn't have agreed.

His next question shocked her, "So pink cherry panties, what happened to your tights?" He asked.

She almost forgot about that. Now, it was her turn to be frozen.
