That girl was surely created to get on my damn nerves. What a stupid girl!

I was settled down in class when a petite junior asked for permission and entered the class.

"Seniors the Principal sends for you all in front of his office." She said and ran off.

I didn't blame her. If she hadn't, she would gotten what is called transfer of aggression.

"I hope that wizard hasn't heard of our little class partying." Sarah one of Naomi's friends muttered as we all filed out in a single line and headed to his office.

That was the last place I wanted to be in but I was choiceless. The last time I was there I was being embarrassed by my mother who had come to query the Principal.

You may ask me why. And I will answer.

Just because one of my classmates back then when we were in SS2 gave me his wrist watch to hold for him while he played ball with his mates at the school field.

School dismissed and I forgot to return back his wrist watch. Well, I didn't really forget. I had remembered but when the match was over he was no where to be found. And I forgot to give it to any of his friends.

It was dramatic for me back at home. Since my mom was kind of strict. She asked me countless questions of why he kept his watch in my custody of all girls. She asked if we were dating and for how long. She even went as far as asking if we had gone sexual.

I thought the matter had dissolved since my dad was still at his business trip. Unfortunately for me, I was called the next day from class by Adanna who said she saw my mom at the reception office demanding to meet the Principal.

How I felt then was unexplainable. I still remember how I ran to the reception office only to meet the room filled with about seven teachers.

"I don't know Standard High to be an immoral school that's why my daughter is here." My mom had raised her voice.

My story went around for that week. People wondered if my mother was quite all right.

My thoughts were interrupted with Adanna elbowing me. "Dreamer," She shook her head at me and I arched her a brow. That was when I realized that we had reached the Principal's office. We stood in front of it waiting for him to come out and address us.

When he finally came out, he was looking smartly dressed as usual. Undoubtedly, he was good looking and at most thirty six years. The way he managed the school was quite good.

"Uhm....." He began to gain our attention which some still didn't give him.

"Good day my wonderful senior students. There is a speaker that just arrived and she will be speaking to you guys on teen life." The principal stated and there were numerous murmurs.

Hia, pep talk again!

Mtcheew, when will this school stop being jobless.

I hope it's not that aunty avatar that came last two months o.

I could tell from the numerous comments that many of us weren't interested but I was. All this whole lit teen talks usually caught my fancy.

"Chairs has been set...so your next appearance should be in the school hall. I don't want to hear any silly excuses." He finalized and turned to go back to his office.

Miss Beauty our form mistress came out of his office just then with huge files and a mean look at her face. Either she just got assigned another work or she was insulted.

"Now start moving! Chelsea what do you think you are planning to do?" She eyed Chelsea who moved out of the line. "You better respect yourself."

Chelsea pouted and went to the back where Aunty Beauty was venting her anger on us. "I'm on my period." She made a cute face.

"Me too, I'm on my period and that makes us one but your Principal gave the piles of assignments that he wanted to. Now get back to the line before I punish you!" Those of us in the back line laughed upon hearing this.

We got to the hall and took the fancy plastic chairs there and sat down. Some were fanning themselves with the books they left class with while others were laughing like people who had no cares in the world. Well, I was among the latter.

It was a sorry statement here to those of us, who thought it was teen talk as usual. Especially when the woman standing in front of us was over fifty.

"Hello boys and girls..." She began when we finally settled down.

Hello? which one is 'boys and girls' again, not even 'ladies and gentlemen. All these committee of the twentieth century should take time o.

"I'm sure you guys are familiar with relationships as teenagers." She continued.

My face which I held high in expectation, fell in disappointment. What sort of speech was this?

"I know that at this stage you are in, you have started experiencing hormonal changes, but do control it. Everything has it's own time. What your main point of focus should be right now is passing your WAEC and JAMB and not engaging in relationships that will make you sexually active. Some of you little girls of nowadays are getting pregnant and working in motels. This society is really degrading. Because I know that during my time..."

She's calling us little girls, when most of us have chests heavier than hers. And then this gospel of 'during my time'.

God will have mercy on our mothers.

If it's my mom, she would tell me 'During my time, I hawked plantains from one village to another',

As per? usain bolt! she would be there bleaching my brain anyhow .

"..........I used to hawk akara from morning to night and still trek to school." The speaker continued.

Jaws were slackened. Some of us began dropping comments.

"But seriously? you hawked akara from morning to night. Akara never spoil, your leg no break nah..and then you still went to school."

"Which time did you now use to go to school if it was spent on hawking akara."

"Liar pant! The lie is already tearing my tight."

The elderly woman looked around in a bid to pick out of those making the comments and the hall was back to tranquility.

Then she continued, "Girls don't let the boys to touch your bum bum." Most girls squeaked at this. Then the guys just kept wondering how they got caught up in this boring silly class.

When the woman was done with her advice not speech...She left and Naomi ran after her, mouthing 'Mummy'.

Mummy?

I definitely needed to know something!
