Ashake's Diary (6) ; Fight Over Steven

ASHAKE!!!! My mum screamed. I was late again to school. I jumped out of bed, and threw some clothes on, and off to school I went. I had not had my bath; I was looking so disheveled, in fact that was my worst look to school. I rushed into school, running to my class in panic, just then I bumped into someone.
I looked up to see who I had bumped into; it was Steven (the senior in my school I had a crush on). ‘‘NOT TODAY, NOT IN THIS STATE’’, I screamed in my head, I ran off to class without even saying sorry, ‘‘He wouldn’t recognize me’’ I thought.

However, all the girls in class gathered during lunch break to gossip as usual, and I overheard Ify telling them that she had her eyes on a senior named Steven. ‘‘WHAT’’ I panicked, my evil mind surfaced once again. I had to think of a plan if not Ify was going to get Steven. My day was just great, I wondered how different my life would be if Ify didn’t exist.

The next day I got to school, and guess who was waiting for me in front of the school gate, ‘’STEVEN’’, ‘’this was going to be so easy’’. I thought. I walked up to him in a self- assured manner, and waved at him, he waved back, but it was not to me, instead it was to someone behind me. I turned in surprise, and saw Ify, ‘O YES’! Ify waving and smiling back like a frigging Barbie.

Ashake's Diary (5) ; Triumph Over Ify

It took the whole school a month to stop talking about my fight with Ify (more like the beating Ify gave me); even my mother could not stop laughing at me. I walked into class sober that morning, ready for the day ahead.
I had not even settled in when Miss Bamire (My class teacher) walked into class and announced that we were having a test. ‘’TEST!!’’ I screamed in my mind, I had not even read anything, in fact I didn’t know anything except for the topic we were taught last week (when I say topic, I mean only the topic, not what it entailed).

We cleared our books away and sat still for the test, when I looked round, everyone looked relaxed except me. I was still trying to calm down when Miss Bamire suddenly added that, the test would be marked in class, and everyone’s score would be announced to the class, starting from the lowest.

Miss Bamire distributed the question sheets, we had five questions to answer, all ‘’fill in the gap’’ questions. As I looked at the first question I began sweating, my whole life practically flashed before my eyes, I was utterly clueless. I simply guessed all through and grabbed a few answers that flew in the air (God bless my classmates). After fifteen minutes, Miss Bamire collected our scripts.

I sat on my seat calmly, as Miss Bamire marked all our scripts; I knew I had nothing to anticipate, except failure. Miss Bamire stood up, and announced with a smile on her face, ‘’the student who scored the lowest in this test is (I stood up already) IFY OKONKWO ‘’ I jumped up screaming with joy (to the dismay of the class), yes! That served her right. ‘’SIT DOWN ASHAKE’’ Miss Bamire said with a frown on her face.

I smiled at Ify who was throwing daggers at me with her eyes; I obviously knew I was going to leave class before everyone (for my own protection). Miss Bamire announced that day, that I was the second highest in class (I was shocked).  I guess that was just my day. Immediately the closing bell rang, I ran out (I was still under treatment from the last beating), before Ify even packed her books.

Ashake's Diary (4) ; Most Embarassing School Day II

So after the beating I got from Ify, I made it a point of duty not to cross her part the next day. I mean I had a black eye, and some swellings on my face, and I figured if I still wanted my teeth complete, I should avoid her.

Ashake's Diary(3) ; Most Embarassing School Day

FRIDAY! My best day of the week was finally here. I felt ecstatic as I went to school that day; the weekend was already around the corner. I had everything I wanted to do planned out, all which was to watch movies all weekend (pirated movies unfortunately). It came to me as no surprise when I met a rowdy class. My teacher Miss Bamire claimed she had headache (as usual), so Miss Are (an annoying substitute teacher) was replacing her.  

Unfortunately for me, I didn’t expect Ify (class Amebo) to be in the mood to practice her trade that morning, with me as her main victim. I sincerely don’t know how Ify got an embarrassing picture of me when I was little. All I know is that she was passing it round class, and everyone was laughing.

She then went on to tell the class stupid stories about me, all in my presence (the nerve!!!!!). She was obviously good, because she got the whole class laughing. I sat there on my seat boiling in anger. ‘’how dare she?’’ I thought.

Suddenly I stood up in anger, and charged towards Ify, giving her a nasty slap across the face; little did I know that I was in for it. Ify was not soft at all. She pulled me by my hair (short hair. He he!), to the front of the class, and started her torture by first serving me four dirty slaps. Then she proceeded to punching, kicking and biting me.

My stupid classmates cheered her on, as she used my face to clean the board, even Miss Are stood there and watched in fascination as I was been ridiculed ( I’m sure she wished she was the one doing it to me).

After Ify was through showing me who was boss, she continued laughing with my class mates and telling them even more embarrassing stories of me. As I sat there thinking about my life and reputation , staring at Ify ( who I had killed in my mind a thousand times), I thought of my tarnished reputation, and at that moment I knew I had nothing to lose. So I walked up to Ify gave her another slap, saying ‘FUCK YOU’ at the top of my voice. Well!! I think you know what happened next.

Ashake's Diary (2) ; Operation break Simi and DJ up

So I got into a lot of trouble with Miss Ade last week. I was smart enough not to cross her part over the past few days. But that was by far the least of my problems. DJ (Deji) my crush for the last two months just asked Simi, my classmate to be his girlfriend like hell, if I let this happen. My aim presently was to break them up. All I needed was the perfect plan.

‘’DARN! I so can’t believe I am late again, thought my alarm was meant to ring at 6am’’. ‘’ASHAKE, COME DOWN’’ my mum screamed.
