ort welcome speech. Once she raised her hands, the whole hall fell quiet again. As her voice boomed through the microphone at the podium, all eyes were back to her. "Now, as you all know, it's a new session, which means we have new prefects that were formal 'Acting,' but now they are ready and willing to take over the post that was formally occupied by our now graduated SS3 students. Students, please put your hands together as I introduced you to your new prefects. Joel Makinde Benson - Head boy. Mason Oluwantoyin Matins- Deputy Zoe Babajide - Head girl Matilda Olatunji - Deputy Thomas Mophedamijo -Social and Assembly prefect, boy Daphne Okeke-Social and Assembly prefect, girl Aurora chiagozia -Health perfect, girl Noah Umaru- Health prefect, boy Michael Bamidele- library perfect, boy Zayatun Bello - Library prefect, girl Ivy Umoh -Sanitary prefect, girl Daniel Bassy -Sanitaty prefect, boy Muyiwa Campbell- Punctuality prefect, boy Rebecca Adetola - Punctuality prefect, girl Chloe Babajide -Sports prefect, girl Samuel Dawson- Sports prefect, boy Timothy Anderson- Timekeeper. These are your prefects, do well to respect them, and it will be reciprocal..." All 17 of us were lined up behind her as she continued to address our juniors and the rest of our classmates.

In as much as I wanted to, I fought against the urge to see my sister just to be sure she was okay; instead, I headed from my class with my two close friends on my side Daphne and Dorothy.

Dorothy Chided Daphne, and I couldn't help the slight chuckle that escaped my lips. Dorothy and Daphne had been my friends right from birth. I remember how our parents used to tell stories of our birth every Christmas. Those were the best Christmas celebration I ever had. Daphne's full name is Maryan Amaka Daphne Okeke; she is from a wealthy family where everyone and everything was at her beck and call. Her dad is Nigeria -Igbo, and her mom was American, hence why her complexion was warm ivory. The combination of both her parent's origins. Her bra length black hair is plaited and packed into a high ponytail; her face is slightly moist due to the sweat that had accumulated on her face. Her face is natural and bear with just a cherry flavored lipgloss gracing her slightly parted lips. She is also cladded in our school your uniform, but hers were getting a little too fitted on her, probably because she had added weight over the holiday. Dorothy, on the other is also mixed as well. Her full name, Makenzie Adeyemi Alima Dorothy Rabiu. Complicated right? I know eve
