Chapter Seven
Ola's Pov:
"Disappointment!"My dad raised his voice at me.
"You can never do anything right,is it not your aunt that just told us your cousin got straight A's in his exams?How many times have you gotten an A,or did I raise you to be a dullard?"He questioned looking at me in the eye,his anger eminent.
He has always been one for his temper,he has found a habit in comparing me to my other relatives and sometimes it's as if he wants me to grow two heads.
"Anyways,that's why i changed your school.If you like don't be serious in school,you'll see who will take you to school abroad."He said "Get out of my sight! Wo bo sen se bi adiye goloba (look at how he's behaving like a local chicken).
Wow thanks for the insult dad
I sighed as i got my school bag and went over to my car.I started the engine and drove off to school.My dad and i have never really gotten along well,ever since mum left his attitude towards me had gotten worst.I always prefer to stay on my own lane but he still always finds something that he complains about.
I stopped the car and cleared my thoughts,i checked my schedule and i saw that i had maths first period.I've always hated that subject,maybe because i don't really understand it.I need a tutor if i want be on good terms with my dad.I'll ask my classmates who the smartest student is and maybe he/she can help me out.
"Ola how far na."I heard someone say and i turned around to look at who it was.
My eyes met Jason,he came over and gave me a bro hug.Jason was the first real friend i made,first real friend asin he wasn't swarming over me because of my money.
"I dey o."I said as we headed to class.
The class wasn't full,i guess i was early unlike yesterday.It wasn't because of traffic,i ran an errand for my dad.Actually i was supposed to do it before but i forgot so i decided to do it that morning so he wouldn't be upset.It was quite embarassing when Dara said 'Blame it on traffic na' but i knew she didn't mean it but i was still vexed so even though i saved her butt with the whole paper stuff i didn't feel like talking to her.
Mr. Henry our maths teacher walked in and i took a seat.Might as well pay attention,i was trying to but it wasn't entering my head.X needs to solve its own problems.
"I hope you all have been practicing because you'll be having a test this week."Mr. Henry said and almost everyone in the class groaned.Omo i have to study o,i need a tutor fast.
"Boss abeg who's the smartest person in this class.?"I asked Lanre,the guy who was sitting beside me,he wore glasses and his nose was buried in his textbook.Raising his head up he fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked around the class in a swift motion.
"Dara."He said and i was kinda shocked,not to say i was surprised though but i didn't think she was the smartest until now.A smile formed on my face,that girl has been forming for me,let's see what she'll say when i tell her i need her to tutor me.
............
The school's intercom went off and we were all told to move to the multipurpose hall to choose our clubs.I'm not a huge fan of clubs but if i want to choose a club it'll be drama club.I like acting a lot and i find it quite fun.To me acting is a way of doing anything you want without be judged or yelled at cause you're not really doing it but you're living up to the things you've been barred from and that's really awesome.
As i got into the hall different seniors were waving sign up sheets around and i looked around till i spotted were drama club sign ups were taking place.
"I want to sign up for drama club."I told the girl holding the sign up sheet.
"Wow,really?"She asked looking somewhat amazed.
"Yes really."I chuckled.
"Cool."She said with a smile on her face as she handed me the sign up sheet to write my name.
"I'm Ola,by the way."I said.
"Yh i know."She chuckled "You're kinda popular."She said and a whisper and i laughed and i guess my laughter was contagious cause she laughed too.
"I'm Nicole,and i'm in SS3 Science 1."She said.
"Well Nicole,i'll catch you later."I said and left the hall.Just at the entrace of the hall i saw Dara and i felt like looking for her trouble a little.
I walked towards hey and grabbed her the arm,she looked startled a little.
"Hey."I said
"Uh....hi."She said as she took a step back.She was clearly affected my me,i let out a little smirk and she raised her eyebrow in a questioning look.
"Why're are you smirking."She asked.
Okay how am i meant to tell her i need her as my tutor? She's so cute and she finds me annoying.
I stare into her dark brown eyes,they're quite beautiful and i got lost in them for a while.I looked away so it wouldn't become creepy.
"It looks like i have an effect on you."I said and just before i walked away i patted her head.
What?She's actually really cute.
.............
Once i got home i took a shower cause i was feeling a little tired.When i was done i grabbed my phone and i saw that i was added to a groupchat.I looked at the members of the group chat and they were my classmates.A thought went through my mind and I searched for Dara's number.
Taking a deep breath I dialed the number on my phone and called.It was ringing for a while until she answered.
"Hi, it's Ola."I said.
