Chaper 3
Assembly time in RNC (Royal Niger College) always began by 7:45 on the dot.
The bell was to be rang at that particular time and every students was excepted to have been on the assembly ground by that time most especially if the principal was to be present, even the teachers weren't exempted.
Jane and her besties had gone into ss3 A to drop her things in class before the bell was rang by the time keeper, Damola Williams or his assistant Tobiloba Daniels.
Most ss3 students in RNC held one post or the other as a show of respect from juniors that they were now the most senior students. The rest which had no post could still behave as seniors too though and trust me when I say this, even those that held no perfectship postion would always carry themselves about as if they were the perfects.
Getting to class that morning with Cynthia and Cilia tagging along, Jane was over excited.
Her exicitment didn't come from the fact that she was the head girl of RNC but from the idea that it was a new term and section as a whole and finally she is the senior she had always dreamed of being.
She walked holding her head high above all other students even her class mates with her besties doing the same.
It wasn't as though she was proud, the thing was that she had determined right from the beginning of senior year that when she finally entered ss3 things were going to change.
First and foremost, she would be sitting at the back, no more middle or front row for her.
Secondly, she would be using her post judiciously, no more speaking to her anyhow.
Finally that boy she had been having a crush on; Michael Adejimi, who was the most handsome guy in the whole set, very quiet but friendly and hardly notices girls, she would go to prom with.
When she told her friends about all this her drastic change, they were surprised and asked her why she wanted to change her lifestyle like that.
She simply replied "Babes we don become seniors dem no born any junior well make dem talk or do anyhow for our side again ( babes we are now seniors no juniors dare behave anyhow with us again) even those people wey una dey call classmates (even those ones you call your classmates)."
This was Jane's resolution for this new term and she was out to enjoy it to the fullest.
The morning assembly started in ernst once all the staffs and students of RNC came out from their respective quarters.
Being the head girl, Jane had to stand along side the head boy, Cole Nathiel by the head of the western door to control the going and coming of the students while Maggie and Manuel Jones their assistant who where twins was situated by the eastern door.
The assembly prefect male and female: Chiamake Ugo and Tomiwa Ogundepo began leading the praise and worship section.
After that, a short sermon was taken by the chapel prefect who was also Jane's bestfriend Cilia and soon both the national and school anthems was sang.
Immediately after the usual greetings, the principal came out to make his short welcoming speech which was sometimes always very long and there after, Mr. Babatunde Adegoke Known as Mr. Babs the most friendliest of all the staffs came to make the announcements.
" All students I welcome you once again to this new section and the beginning of a new term.
