It all started on a faithful day,it was in the morning after the school morning devotion,we were seated at the classroom,Mr Aigbegun our mathematics teacher and my favourite teacher, he was a nice and easy going man who was always gentle with us,”Mr Aigbegun good morning “a voice came from outside the classroom,aunty becky a young and beautiful lady maybe in her 30s,i turned to the classroom door,aunty becky was standing with a girl,she was not to tall but okey for a girl her age,her light chocolate skin make her even more prettier, adding with her beautiful round face,her body shape matches with the yellow dress she wore,i turned and looked at osaretin who was found among those standing from their sit to spy on what was going on outside,Mr Aigbegun went to meet aunty becky,they discuss in low tone that even i who was closer to the window couldn’t hear one word from what they were saying, after their conversation that didn’t even last up to one minute Mr Aigbegun came in with the girl.
“Hello class” Mr Aigbegun said “this is our new student and will now be studying with us,Angelina” Angelina was the class prefect “yes uncle ” answered from her seat,she got up standing not leaving her position “please show her somewhere to sit” Mr Aigbegun told her,Angelina looked around for sometime trying to figure out where will be fitting for her “go and sit there” she said pointing at the position i was seated. “Ne God go punish this girls” i said to myself. She came to where I was seated and i got up for her to sit inside because I don’t like to sit in between people,we were already two before she joined us,i was angry at first that someone had to join us because I don’t like crowded people around me,but in this case I should be happy that a beautiful girl will be sitting with me for a very long time.
