JARED

I walked into the indoor pool and realized all my teammates were there, I'd joined the swimming team immediately we got back from the mid-term break.

The break was more than interesting, Kiisha and I had spent time together because I forced her to learn how to cook. Though she'd been hesitant but I took the pleasure in going to her place and dragging her to my place.

Her cooking skills have improved since she could cook some foods now except the swallows. Doing things with her was somehow fun though she's a saucy thing but was sweet on the inside.

Our mid-term test had lasted for four days, when it's not as if we were writing exam but I think RGC is different from other schools, I just hope we wouldn't spend a month on the exam.

Today being Friday, I had practice and at such had to hurry to the pool.

"Hey," I greeted Kenneth as I sat beside him.

"Hi," he responded.

He was the captain of the team and from what I heard, he was their best swimmer.

I didn't say anything again but decided to chat with my friends when Aminat approached me.

"Can I sit?" she asked.

Why is she asking me? It's not as if I'm the owner of the seat and whereas it was vacant.

"Sure," I responded. Immediately she sat down, Kenneth stood up and walked away.

I turned to my phone.

"How was the break?" she asked.

"You asked me on Monday and I think I told you it was fine"

"Oh ! That's true, so how are you doing?"

What's wrong with this girl?

" You asked me this morning"

" Oh!," she slapped her forehead before smiling.

"I believe you did well in your test"

I heaved before nodding and I picked my phone up.

"Is that iPhone?"

Noooo, blackberry.

I nodded.

"I use iPhone too, 11 pro "

Why is she gisting me now? It's not as if I asked her.

She's just trying to get close to me and I can't date her, she isn't my type at all especially when the bet on Kiisha still stands so I can't possibly date anyone in RGC before her. Oh! I totally forgot about the bet. I can't lose my power bike to that Idiot.

She didn't say anything again as I focused on my phone but another annoying voice made me raise my head.

"Hi, Jared," Boluwatife greeted with a smile.

Why is this one here again? Oo ma gaa oo, after telling her I wasn't interested in her, she'd better not say any nonsense here again.

"Hi"

She smiled before adjusting her tight swimsuit that fitted her body perfectly well and revealed more than necessary, yea, more than the other female swimsuits revealed.

She sat beside Aminat who was already glaring at her, when I noticed they'd engaged in a glaring competition, I turned to my phone.

"Mirror can't talk, lucky for you they can't laugh either so if you even look at your ugly self in the mirror now, you won't know anything," I heard Boluwatife say.

I looked up from my phone and decided to watch their movie so far it's always amusing to watch their unending bickering.

Aminat's face flushed, "What do you mean?"

Boluwatife dashed her a crook smile and it slipped immediately it appeared, "You've got a peanut brain, so it'll be hard for you to comprehend. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that you're so ugly, ugly as sin. And of course, since you're an ape from hell, it's a must you look like your ancestors. Though, I actually don't believe in plastic surgery but in your case, I'll advise you to go for it"

Aminat's eyes sparked and she pressed her lips together in a thin line before retorting, "You're just too full of yourself, if you say I'm ugly," she snapped her fingers all over Boluwatife's face as she continued, "Newsflash, you actually reminded me of myself, you're no different from a scarecrow"

Boluwatife boiled in fury, she gritted her teeth as her veins appeared tauted on her forehead, she then screwed her braids back off her face and snapped back, "If you say I'm ugly then that confirms your skull is empty and you're jealous 'cause everyone knows I'm strikingly beautiful and I've got a ravishing body that makes heads turn"

Oh, oh, oh. Someone is feeling herself oo.

Aminat scoffed and squinted her eyes.

"Just because you're sleeping around with everything in trousers doesn't make you a beautiful girl but a cheap slut, who wouldn't want awoof, so don't think they're after you because you have a nice shape, it's because you've got no value," she stood up and walked to the pool while Boluwatife followed her.

Oh! This is getting more interesting.

Boluwatife pulled her back with her braid and landed a hot slap on her cheeks and Aminat's eyes turned red as it opened to its fullest extent.

"You think you can just get away like that, no, I'll...," Aminat cut her shot with a resounding slap on her face.

Boluwatife held her cheek in amazement. She clapped her hands sarcastically to convey Aminat stupidity, she then drew her by the neck of her swimsuit and landed twin slap on her face.

Before anyone could bat their eyelashes, a fight ensued, they both fell into the pool and continued their brawl in the water.

No one stopped them as we all rushed to the poolside and watched their wrestling in amusement.

"What's going on here?" we all turned to the direction of the voice.

Lo and behold, it was the principal, standing with our coach. I recognized the principal because I'd been to her office when I transferred to RGC where she'd given me some lecture about RGC.

She walked to the pool with the coach as everywhere turned quiet, the principal was a sphinxlike woman who was feared by all, I heard she never smiled.

"Come out!," she ordered and the wrestlers got out of the water. Boluwatife was already naked with scratches on her face and Aminat was half- naked.

We all mumbled at this and I looked away trying to focus on the principal.

"Get them clothes!," the coach ordered Zion, she was the best female swimmer and Kenneth's assistant.

Zion rushed to the dressing room and came out with few clothes as she threw that at them.

Highly piqued and mortified, they got dressed and followed the Principal and coach.

Noise filled the air immediately they left as everyone sauntered out of the pool.

As soon as I got out, my eyes made four with Rihanna's. Oh goodness gracious.

She rushed to me with Kemisola as her face flushed with excitement, she  then asked, "What happened?"

"They had a dispute and engaged in a huge fight"

"Oh! I see"

I walked away but she followed me.

"Do you need something?"

She shook her head with a wide smile then I walked away.

"What could actually be the cause of their conflict?" Joshua asked. We were at the JETS Clubroom waiting for the arrival of the Biology teacher. I knew what he was driving at but I decided to feign cluelessness.

"Heaven knows oo"

Quadri turned to me, "Don't say heaven or hell knows"

"What are you trying to say?" I asked as I noticed the entrance of Kiiti and Kiisha.

"Don't tell me you don't know you're the cause of the fight, they were fighting over you," Joshua said and Quadri waved at Kiiti and Kiisha, they sat on the stools opposite us.

"Since you've gotten into RGC, Boluwatife and Aminat have been arch enemies," Quadri added and I smiled.

"That's their problem"

"So you're the reason behind their fight?" Kiiti asked in amazement as if she didn't know they had a big crush on me, the whole school knew about it.

My eyes met with Kiisha who looked less concerned as she flipped through the pages of her notebook.

"Yes nau," Joshua and Quadri said concurrently.

Kiisha looked up from the book and muttered, "Some girls are just too shameless and this one too will be feeling himself oo"

"I heard that," I said and she looked at me, "You were meant to"

"I heard they were told to call their parents," Kiiti announced.

"Serves them right, they should suspend them too," Kiisha said and the biology teacher walked in.
