  Lagos, Nigeria2012Confused, Rayyan looked on impassively even as he heard his name being called repeatedly.A nostalgic feeling shot up his spine as he realized that he had with him the people who had once meant the whole world and more to him.He looked directly into Zahar's eyes, his expression not giving away any of the emotions that were tearing at him.He watched the smile that had been forming on Zaharadeen's face suddenly thin out until a confused one replaced it.He steadily fixed his gaze on Zaharadeen no matter how hard it was for him, he would rather look at him than the hateful girl beside him.Being near her alone had sent him reminiscing about the last time he had seen her.When the Commandant had called out all acting prefects that morning, Rayyan had no idea that he would end up in a less than favourable position bef

  Lagos, Nigeria 2012"Okay class, we are done with the rules of indices. I want you to do the whole of chapter 3b in your general mathematics textbook" Mr George, the maths teacher said picking up his markers.The class immediately became rowdy as the man stepped out of his class, and it didn't help that it was a free period.Despite the number of teachers who had visited their class, telling them about the benefits of free periods and how they were meant to be used to study rather than frolic, none of them paid heed.It wasn't suprising however, afterall it wasn't like the teachers didn't do the same in secondary school though.The computer teacher had been there for the first and second period that morning, and had left after the class had written her test.Since the school, for some reason known only to them, had instructed that

  Lagos, Nigeria.2012"Hey you there, Aduwo girl "' Junior boy come here""kneel down there", "Ahoy get me that clipper".Maliya walked through the school gates, her ears catching the various conversations between the personnel and students.As usual, she walked up to the naval personnel who was searching bags for contraband materials.Some bottles of water laid on the sides of the pavement just beside the gutter to her right, apparently bringing water to school had become illegal.She queued up behind some girls who were far along consumed by their dose of early morning gossip." You no see say dem they don start to dey seize water" the shorter of the duo said, eyes twinkling with the knowledge that she had more information on the topic of their gossip than her gossip buddy did.

  Lagos, Nigeria.2012.It would not be...ever.That was the first thought that Maliya had when she was shaken out of her reverie.She had temporarily been in a world where she had only the best of her memories surrounding her, and just like every other dream of hers, a nightmare followed.The only difference on that particular day was that her nightmare was personified.It didn't materialise into a flaming skull with a sadistic laugh like the one on the ghost rider's neck.Oh no...that situation would have been akin to her swinging a basket of fruits in the meadow when compared to this.The source of the chill that ran down her spine was none other than her chemistry teacher.And while other tyrants would come armed with chains, whips, canons and AK 47s, this particular one came with an

  Lagos, Nigeria.2012.The third week of school met Maliya dreading the first class of the day. Maliya chewed on her nails, half expecting the chemistry teacher to appear in front of her suddenly.She could still hear the whispers from her classmates, and the looks sent her way.Most of the looks were ones of amusement, and others sympathy, but apparently her crying episode didn't deter people from trying to make friends with her.Now that school was in full swing, with virtually everybody in attendance, she had become a source of interest for her classmates.Everytime someone would come up to her acting friendly, she would blankly stare at them till the end of their useless questions or boring introductions and then, send a small fake smile their way.She didn't miss the nicknames whispered, she didn't even think they we

  Lagos, Nigeria.2012.The smile on Maliya's face gradually thinned the more the cold dark orbs stared at her icily.The moment, even though brief, seemed to stretch on for eternity, and the feeling of normalty seemed strange in the next moment.An ice cold impulse ran down the length of her spine, goosepimples erupting all over her body.That look.It depicted an emotion, rather lack thereof.It was an unreadable look, but at the same time spoke volumes, an oxymoronous look one could call it.His lips parted as the pearly whites which used to gleam at her peeked out, his lips rounded and flattened, his pink tongue running over the length of his lower lip.It took a couple of seconds for Maliya to register that he had indeed been saying something while she deriliously scrutinized
