Chapter 6

                                    

                                          

Nathan.
I was starving.
Not the normal type of hunger, this one is when you know that your village people are after you.
Sigh.
Just like God heard my prayers, the bell rung, break time! I could almost jump and run into the cafeteria, but, I had to keep my cool, I'm frosh.
I waved at Peter and I saw him waking towards me and I waited for him so that he could take me to the cafeteria.
"Yo! Broski, howfar na?" He asked, raising his hand slowly for a handshake. "I dey oo, but my guy I dey h!" I replied, rubbing my stomach for reference.
"Make we go cafeteria." And with that we bounced.
****
Wow!
Wow!
The cafeteria was huge; now, I'm just getting impressed with this school daily. The whole place was crowded, you could see people struggling for seats, the murmurs, the faint clashing of cutleries.
The cafeteria was themed off white, the theme matching the seats. The seatings were set in a round shape; at least containing ten people per seat.
We moved slowly, joining the queue and we waited patiently for our turn. 
It got to our a turn and Peter turned towards. "Bro! Wetin you go order?" He asked, waiting for my response. I shook my head lightly, before responding.
"Omo mehn! Na food I dey hunger, it fit be rice." I shrugged while waiting for my turn. After the chef served Peter, it got to my turn and I grabbed a plate and a tray from the side table and requested my order.
"Good afternoon, ma! I would like jollof rice with chicken and salad, then a drink; preferably, coke." I said as I watched her put my order in place.
Once she was done serving my meal, i and Peter bounced looking for a place to seat. Funny how I thought today was going to be crappy for me, it's actually going good. Oh well.
We stopped a few feet away from the door, I dropped my tray and sat down, ready to devour my food when I saw miss rude with her friend; Priscilla. The one she saw me with and got angry for no reason.
I continued eating and watching her, she was just so full of herself, putting on that facade of the perfect girl, but I knew better. 
Peter tapped me, I turned. "What?" I asked him, my voice sounding razz due to my full mouth. "You were staring too much." He stated plainly with a smirk on his face. I laughed.
"And what is wrong in that?" I challenged, with a equal smirk on my face, conveying his own.
He didn't say anything. He just looked at me, an emotion I couldn't decipher flashing throw his face.
I ignored it and continued eating my food, as I watched her carrying her tray and her best friend following till I couldn't see her no more.
~~~~~~
The electric bell rung, and I groaned. I was just enjoying the break. Nawa for this school.
We stood up and made our way to the class; apparently, we had Civic now. 
As I got to the class, the noises greeted me with the stuffy smell. God abeg!
I walked to my seat, making sure to avoid body clashes with any sweaty being. I got to my seat and sat down, looking around I noticed that miss rude isn't in class, I made a mental note to check for her in the next two minute and I laid my head on the table.
The beating of the table jerked me off my mini sleep, I stood and murmured a greeting to the petite lady. The lady looked like she was in her early thirties, with a piercing on her nose and blonde wig fixed on her round face, her fully glossed lips moved as she spoke.
"Good afternoon, class! Hope you all are good?" She asked as she walked to the board. She signalled her hand, indicating that we sit down and we did.
"So, today I'm going to be teaching you all about Human right. But before we begin, who has an idea on the topic, human rights?" Her eyes scannings the class, looking for raised hands and her eyes landed on...
Miss rude.
When did she enter the class?
"Human rights are the basic natural rights which are essential for human existence and every citizens is entitled to them and is expected to enjoy them in full without hindrance." She said and sat down.
"Thank you, Naomi. That was very good." The teacher; Miss peace said and began the lecture.
I was bored and I was not even capping, I was scribbling down and occasional glances at  miss rude. She seemed to be paying rapt attention to the lecture, serious student.
"__ so that is what human right is all about, any question?" Miss peace asked the class. But no one asked any questions so she packed her things, bade us fare well and left the class.
Noises erupted.

School has come to an end for the day. And I dreaded going home, mainly because my dad was picking me up this evening and I was not mentally prepared for his wahala.
I sat in the class till everyone left the class and I stood up only when everybody had left the class.
I walked out, dragging my feet and ignoring the side calls. I saw Peter running towards me and I stopped waiting for him to catch up.
"Bro, howfar? You dey trek?" He asked me, catching his breath. "Nah, my dad is coming to pick me." I told him.
"Okay na, e go be." And he shaked my hand and left. I was alone, once again.
And I waited, and my dad's car came into view.
"Good evening, sir." I greeted, but no response. He ignored me.
The drive to the house was silent, the Killing type is silence. This one e never ask me if I disgrace am for school? Nawa oo!
I mentally chuckled. 
" What is funny?" He asked. "Sir?" I responded, confused and scared at the same time. He ignored me again.
He just stopped at the front of our black large gate and parked his car. 
I got down. Wetin dey work this man?
I mentally chuckled again, not without looking back to see if he was still there.
