chapter 4 ( meaning of toasting)

We resumed back to school and we moved on with the school syllabus.

I spent most of my time practicing with the sxhool choir because of my affection for music. we were in class on a fateful day,. A teacher just left the class, so everyone gathered with their friend and were all chatting. I was packing my books into my nag when suddenly i heard some of my classmate discussing

All the class bursted into a fresh round of laughter, but tjat was not my own concern. I 've been adaptive to that style for so long. One thing about my class was that they had the habit of taunting one another in class. I stood up from where i was sitting and i went to where they were discussing and i asked them.

"๐™‚๐™ช๐™ฎ๐™จ, ๐™ฌ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™™๐™ž๐™™ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™ข๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™—๐™ฎ ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™–๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ" interrupting their precious discussion

"๐˜ผ๐™จ๐™  ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™—๐™ค๐™ค๐™ ๐™จ ๐™—๐™ง๐™ค" Ayoola answered vehemently.

They all laughed again, but i didn't take that so serious. All i was euminating about was what they meant by toasting. I fecided to keep quiet throughout the day to reduce further or more taunts from them.
