It was a quiet ride to school the day after Wunmi came.My mind was racing but any little word that came out would be an insult directed to her so I just kept quiet.

I turned my gaze to Funmi who was folding her hands and also clearly annoyed from her expression.After what felt like five minutes,we got to school.Mummy got out of the car with us because of Wunmi.She took her to the bursary department to sort out the payment of her school fees.

I on the other hand went to the school block and I was just in time for first period which was Geography.I took my note book out of my locker and headed to class.The class wasn't so filled up and I spotted a free seat next to Bolanle.Our teacher wasn't in the class yet.

"Hey how far?."She asked as I sat down next to her.

"Omo I'm not fine o,in fact I'm far from fine."I said.

How could I be fine with the two faced girl that's living with us?

"Ahn ahn,what happened."She asked raising an eyebrow.

"You wouldn't believe it,so my dad came back yesterday and then-"

"Everyone get seated and bring out your assignments."I was cut off by the voice of Mr. Timi,our geography teacher.Out of all my teachers he's the most tolerable.

"I'll tell you later."I said and opened my textbook to the assignment.

Just as he was about to go around and start marking,the door creaked open and Ola walked in.

"Young man you're late."Mr. Timi said giving him a disapproved look.

I was too cut up in the whole Wunmi's business that I didn't realize he wasn't in class.Everyone turned their gazes to him.

"I'm sorry sir, there was traffic."He said.

Blame it on traffic nah.

"Dara what was that?"Mr. Timi asked facing me and I was confused.

"Sir?"I questioned and that's when I realized I had said it out loud.

Blame it on traffic na

I face palmed myself as Ola got to his seat.I hope he doesn't hate me for saying that.Bolanle looked at me and she was clearly holding back a laugh.

While Mr.Timi was going around marking,I felt something hit my back.I looked down and saw that it was a scrunched up paper.I picked it up and opened it,rolling my eyes at what was written in it.I knew exactly who it was from.

'So what if I blame it on traffic? It's not your business.'

I turned around to look at Ola who was pretentiously copying something down in his notebook.I tore out a sheet of paper from my notebook and wrote some stuff on it.

'Only you knows what you were doing that made you come late and I never said I cared.'

I know I'm acting childish but it's secondary school,we do things like this all the time.I turned around and aimed the paper,with a closer look I tossed it at him.As he reached down to take the paper,Mr. Timi's voice.

"Bring that paper here."He said as he walked towards Ola and I gulped.

Oooooh who sent me to write it now.

"You people have started passing love letters abi?He asked

How is that one a love letter now?

"Who threw it at you?"He asked and Ola took a glance at me before saying.

"I don't know sir."He said and I felt relieved.Why did he lie?

"Are you sure."Mr. Timi asked

"Yes sir."He said and that's when the bell for the end of the class.

"You're lucky"He said"I don't want anyone of you tossing papers around in my class,understood?"He said and some people echoed 'yes sir'.

I grabbed my notebook and headed out of the class but I waited in front for Ola to thank him for not ratting me out.

As he walked out of the class I called his name but he didn't answer.Maybe he didn't hear me,so I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder.

He turned around with an irritated look and I took a step back cause of his facial expression.

"Can I help you?"He asked.

"I just want to thank you for not snitching me."I said.

"I'm not a snitch so it isn't a big deal."He shrugged.

"Yh but it was really nice of-"

"Look I'm really not in the mood."He said and he walked off.Like he actually walked away.
Why is he acting out,am I the one the one that vexed him?

"Dara."I turned around to see who called my name and I saw that it was Kiitan.

"Why're you standing in the middle of the hallway?"He asked.

"I was talking to Ola,whatever sha."I said and I watched him roll his eyes.

"What?"I asked.

"Nothing,I just don't like him."He said as we headed to the cafeteria.

I laughed at his statement.I'm not sure if I like him either.His attitude towards me is just off.

"There's a new student in our class."Kiitan said and I knew he was talking about Wunmi.

"Oh really?"I asked pretending.

"Yh, she's pretty.People are already shipping her with Ola sef."He said.

Nawa o

"What's my business abeg?"I said clearly annoyed.

"I'm just telling you na, what's up with you?"He asked.

"She's my two faced cousin,that's what's up."I said as I walked ahead of him.

"Wait up,are you serious?"He asked.

"Yes I am,and my parents made a huge mistake bringing her to live with us."

As I kept walking fast he pulled my arm so I'll stop.

"I don't understand."He said.

I sighed and took a step back.

"My dad came back yesterday and he brought her cause she lost a parents, everything was going fine until she started giving us some kind of attitude,like she doesn't want our pity and stuff like that.She just brings bad energy and she's fooloing my parents into believing she's one good girl or whatever."

Kiitan's eyes widened at my words,that was the facial expression I was expecting though.

"So what are you going to do?"He asked.

"Omo i don't have a plan o,she should sha not cross my lane.I hope you guys are not planning to be friends with her?"I asked giving him a questioning look.

"Not anymore."He chuckled and gave me a big bear hug and I kinda felt relieved.
