He tapped her shoulder, smiling. He was the weirdest person she had met in her entire life time.

"Daniel, we sit by each other, you don't need to keep tapping me every two minutes of silence", she poked his shoulder.

"How else will I get your attention, you've been writing one note for like four minutes", he calculated.

"I've only written four lines because you've interrupted the four minutes of my writing", she looked back to her note.

"This is not how we roll in Farade", he snatched her pen and got up, walking far away from her. She sat down, frustrated. Her sit partner was not someone to be friends with. Since he arrived, he pestered her. Even Helen didn't drag her as much as he did in just two days of his resumption.

"Daniel", she mouthed at him as he looked at her through the window.

"Yes Omo òni gó", and he called her that too. And when he does that, he laughs, like he was doing at the moment.

"Stop na", she pleaded and he smirk-smiled.

"Come and get it", he wiggled the birror, she stood up, which she rarely did until someone dragged her. Carefully, she avoided where the boys were playing with plastic container in front of the class.

"If you run", she said quietly and he just stood there, laughing, she got closer and tried prying it from his hand but it wasn't an easy task.

"Daniel na", she pleaded, he just stared and kept on laughing. She gave up and attacked his pocket for his own pen, he raised a brow, smiling. When he saw she wasn't smiling he reluctantly handed her the pen.

"You're too serious", they had moved back into the class, he was resting on the table where her books were, blocking her from them as she sat on the chair.

"I know", she used her eyes to tell him he was on her books, he continued talking instead.

"Were you like this in your old school or just because you're new you don't mingle or play?"

"My notes", she responded instead, Daniel got the message and got off to sit on his own sit. Unlike the rest of the boys and girls in the class who didn't acknowledge her presence, Helen and Daniel tried to make her adjust. She raised her head to look at the rowdy class and her eyes caught someone else, the silent girl. She wasn't alone, two other girls were around her talking, but her mouth was sealed shut.

"What's her name?", she tapped the dark skin boy.

"Who?"

"The one with the book and pen", Omonigho described,

"Kate?", he stared at her.

"Kate right, I think she hates me"

"Why do you think so?"

"I've come across her like four times, she didn't even speak to me", Daniel was silent. Awkward silent.

"She doesn't hate you"

"Why hasn't she spoken to me then, you explain that"

"She... she just has a hard time talking to people",

Omonigho didn't understand the hesitance in his voice. He had turned a cold face and stared in the direction of the girl; she looked back briefly and caught his eyes. There was a brief tension.

Daniel was silent for the rest of the break period and even the next periods till the school closed for the day. Omonigho thought she would be thankful as she got to complete her notes, but she wasn't. His new attitude was completely strange, and though she had not known him more than he showed her, she felt something was wrong, either from his side, or from Kate, the silent girl, angle.

The bell signaling the end of the school day rang, Daniel, unlike before, didn't waste time getting up and carrying his half-empty bag. Omonigho watched as he passed Kate without breaking eye contact. The emotion on his face was pity, regret or guilt or maybe all. She turned her face from them. Whatever was up wasn't her business. Not yet.

Helen wasn't around today which meant she had to walk alone to Eghonghon's class. She put the books she didn't need in her table locker and closed it shut. She was startled.

"Sorry to scare you", he grinned. She was stuck with no words, like the other day.

"You don't talk?" Demilade, the head boy frowned. Who was worse between she and Kate now, She came to the conclusion that she was the one, he was trying to talk to her, she on the other hand just assumed Kate didn't want to speak with her without trying to talk to Kate.

"Hi", she blurted, wearing her school bag.

He smiled. He didn't respond. Still smiled. One minute, two minutes, three―

"Demilade the head boy", a short semi-light skinned boy approached, hailing him. His hair was full, almost like an afro. But the school doesn't allow such hairstyles.

"Cappylo", Demilade responded, raising his hands up. Omo thought it'll reach the ceiling with how tall he was, probably 5'8, 5'9, and 6'0. She was thankful for the distraction; she still had to go to Eghonghon's class as he would not come to hers, ever.

"You dey go play BB with Sho and the rest?" the shorter boy asked, finally looking at Omonigho.

"Hello", he smiled.

"Hi" she responded, making her way out of her sit.

"I no sure", Demilade hurriedly replied, noticing she was trying to leave.

"Okay o, later guy", the boy began to move away as Omo moved out. She had successfully reach the door when she heard Demilade's voice.

Oh my goodness.

"As I was saying," you weren't saying anything, she kept to herself as she made her way to her brothers class.

"How do you like Farade?", she would have given him a blank look if she didn't want to get to her brothers class early and go home to lay down and sleep because of how tired this school has made her with the assignments she get everyday.

"Fine."

"Fine?, Fine as in its just there or Fine as in I am excited to be in the great Farade?" he tried to sound humorus as they walked down the stairs. He was actually walking with her. She wondered if he didn't have a place to be than to be interrogative about how she liked Farade.

Farade is Farade, Farade is fine.

"Yeah, It's just fine, I miss my old school," she replied queasily finally out of the Senior Secondary School 2&3 block.

"So where are you going to?"

"SS1"

"Ooookay", he scratched his head and kept his hand in his pocket as she walked to her brothers class. There was an ellipsis as they were both thinking of what to say, well, mainly the Senior Prefect Boy, she was thinking of getting home to prepare something for her Mother.

"I've been waiting for you na" Eghonghon appeared out of nowhere, clutching his school bag as it rested on one shoulder.

"Is that so?, My class is in heaven abi?" Omo replied sarcastically forgetting the person beside her,

"Ehnehn, you're late coming to pick me because of boy abi," Eghon had a smirk playing on his lips,

"See this one o", she replied with no comeback.

"You didn't even introduce your brother" he walked close to Demilade and brought out his right hand to shake him, he looked at the badge on his shirt and shook his head.

"Eghonghon Okojie, take care of her"

Omonigho laughed, she knew boys were dumb, even her brother wasn't excluded.
