It was a Sunday morning,I could see from the corridor leading to our class, junior students discussing on how they spent the weekends. when suddenly, I felt someone brush his arms on my Watermelon-size butt...(as everyone call me).

"hey!" I screamed.

"its me, Bernard!" he said, raising his hands up in surrender.

"ohhh, I'm sorry!"

"no problem, where are your guards?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"They're in the car, I ordered them to remain there" I said staring at his flirtatious brown eyes.

"ooo"

We walked into the class together in silence. as soon as we stepped into the class, everyone was screaming.

"perfect couples,, muah!" Zainab said blowing a kiss.

BUT WAIT O! WHY ARE THEY REFERING US AS COUPLES??

"wait stop!" I yelled.

At once everywhere remained silent.

"why are you referring us as couples?" I said sticking my lollipop into my mouth.

"Don't act like you don't know, you were spotted with Bernard yester night in a swimming pool, as If that wasn't enough...gbam! Bernard posted it in all his social media handles" Our school basket mouth, Dera explained.

"I saw the video on IG"

"I saw it on twitter"

"I saw it on Facebook"

"I saw it on tiktok"

That was all I heard them say!

I proceeded to climbing the desk....

"Can I get your damned attention?" I asked.

"Yes!" all said, settling down on their respective chairs.

I DON'T KNOW BUT I THINK I'VE BEEN RECEIVING STRANGE GLANCES FROM FRED! NOT THE EYE LOOK!! ARGH....

I cleared my throat and began;

"Ok, listen ladies and gentlemen, all I wanted to say is that.... you know... there's something about the first class people... like for example, Me... yeah, as a first class citizen of Nigerian...I decided to chill out with Bernard, and you know next weekend.... I'll be going with Bernard, Aryaa Star, Rema and Ruger and err... Susan pwajok... on a "HIGH CLASS OUTING" Good Day class" I said getting down the desk with splendor, spraying Naira note on my myself.

"I'll never be broke, I'll forever be rich!" I sang dancing.

"That's My baby!" Bernard praised spreading me notes.

I stepped on the money with royalty and splendor, majestically walking down to my chair.

"Hello! can you sit well, at least?" I asked, giving Fred a big frown.

"Why?" he asked not lifting his head from his textbook.

"because I need more space, you dumbass...." I thundered.

"Hello!" he said, his brows furrowed.

"Don't Hello me.... just adjust your desk and chair!"

"what will you do if i don't? get me beaten up?" he asked this time staring at me.

"I'm not in for your troubles" i said taking out my biology textbook.

"OK... never mind... you illiterate!" he said with a grin.

"you're the illiterate here.." I backfired.

"Don't You remember when you couldn't give the correct definition of oxidation... and how I came to the rescue.." he said giving me a toothy grin.

"Well, I'm imperfect I tend to...."

"Err... Zikora, can you come with me? for some minutes?" Bernard asked, giving both I and Fred one weird look.

"I'll be back Fred..." I informed, holding Fred's broad shoulders for support to stand.

I was being dragged immediately, to the class corridor by Bernard.

"so what's your answer?"he asked giving me those brown cute set of eyes.

"based on?"

"you being my girlfriend.." he said.

"urghh.... girlfriend?... oh my?" I said, my palm on my forehead, my right hand on my waist.

"now what?" he asked, his hands on my shoulder.

"OK! OK! I'm your girlfriend.. not a big deal" I said.

"OK... thanks so much!" he said giving me a tight bone crushing hug.

"OK... OK...let..let.. me go..."I said taking his body off mine.

"you'll be mine forever.."he sang.

I was mute. he took hold of my hand as we walked into the class giggling and talking as my eye fell on Fred, who was peacefully reading his textbook. I looked round the class and I could see Zainab blowing us a kiss. I rolled my eyes in disgust.. when I remembered something.

"hey class!" I shouted gaining the attention of my classmates.

"what darling?" Calvin, the second most followed Instagram star in our class said blowing me a kids secretively.

"just shut up Calvin!" I thundered.

"since my queen says so!" he said giving me a lustful grin.

"hey Calvin... look for your girl and let my girl be...ok?" Bernard warned, giving him a stern look.

"OK.. my hands are off... you lover" he said as everyone broke into a wild laughter.

"OK... please listen...I actually dropped a song..I don't know whether you've heard it?"

"Yes! Yes! "not by force you ft Aryaa star" Ronnie our Japanese classmate said, clapping her hands.

"ok...ok!" the class shouted in remembrance.

"gosh, I'm in love with the music!"

"the song's trending na!"

"I used it in my Tiktok video yesterday na!"

"I'm actually playing it right now!"

"OK... listen... listen!" I said waving my hands on the air.

All The while, Fred never looked up from his textbook. he was being too serious for my liking.

"OK shush! now you could stream my music on Spotify, Audiomack, Boomplay and Shazam"

"Ok...Miss Zizi Kora, our songstress" Bernard said, pulling me close to him.

Now Fred is sure staring at us.. but that 'I don't care' look on his face. but wait! what's Bernard about to do.. his nose almost touching mine. I mean No! No! No!

And His lips were finding mine..
