Thank you so much for your votes 😁😭❣️
The walk to class felt like a runway walk.
She felt on top of the world. Everywhere she went eyes turned and murmurs arose, everyone had heard the news and most students were rushing in and out of the admin building to see the list.
"Guy how did you even score 99 in maths....mathssss!!" Rachel said, Ifechi threw her head back in laughter. They settled on one of the pavements near the tuckshop.
"They don't call her queen of maths for nothing" Dami chipped in.
"Yeah I get, but when I thought you're smart, I didn't know you're smart smart"
"Which one is smart smart again na?" Ifechi replied still laughing.
"347..." Rachel said slowly as if trying to process the number. 
"Omo you're the best in the state o, if not the country sef" Rachel gushed.
Anita scoffed. "I'm sure they are people that scored higher" 
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Rachel snapped back taking everyone, including Anita by surprise. 
"How can you be so jealous and bitter?" She spoke again.
"Rach..."
"No Dami leave me alone, I know she's your friend, but someone has to say it, I must talk today." She said shrugging off her hand.
"I'm not going to lie Anita, what you're doing is very pathetic. I didn't want to poknose but you left me no choice, you're really acting childish..ah ah, you said you didn't want toxic vibes, but you're the one who's toxic. Get over yourself, the guy has never and will probably never like you!" Rachel said and turned around to continue talking as if nothing had happened.
Anita was dumbstruck for a second, but she masked her surprise and fired back. "At least I'm not on a pity scholarship, unlike you, I can actually afford to school here" she said, Rachel's reply was an eye roll.
"I was expecting you would say that, of course that's the single lame reply you can muster, but news flash Anita, nobody cares. Why don't you go back to hanging out with your fellow airheads or better still, start studying hard so that you don't fail your waec too...with your 172 jamb score" she snickered.
"What is wrong with you?" Dami blurted.
"Rachel that's not nice na" Ifechi added.
"What! She started it..."
Anita walked away feeling a sting in her eyes. Dami ran after her, but not before turning back to look disdainfully at Rachel who rolled her eyes like she didn't give a cent about the two girls.
"You were really harsh" Ifechi reprimanded.
"Oh, so now you want to follow them abi"
"No, I mean...thank you for standing up for me, but you were a bit mean"
Rachel stared at her in disbelief before shaking her head sadly. "Na me messup"
"No that's not what I mean na..."
"Whatever!" Rachel waved her off standing up to leave as well. "...by the way, you're too silent for your own good. Instead of saying things when you should, you'll be there acting as if you're holier-than-thou pretending to not want trouble when in truth you're just being cowardly" she said and walked off.
