Teenage Fantasy - Her Simple Complexity

ELLA'S POV

As I stepped out of the car, I was welcomed by a cold wave of fresh breeze. I remember the day we went on vacation : the group-fis, the hugs, emotional moments among friends, teachers and the teachers who'd miss their favorite students.

Earth to Ella!

I walked quietly out of the garage in anticipation and high hopes. My friends would have arrived because this very day, I was damn late - thanks to twinnie.

I stopped by at the admin block to pick up my lockers' key since it was a new session. Luckily I was assigned to the same class as my buddies. I made my way to our designated class and met my best friend at the entrance pacing back and forth.

Waiting for me? Obviously!.

"Kira!!". I screamed and hastened my steps.

"Ella!". We finally locked in a a warm embrace.

"Why are you late.? I called but you weren't taking my calls. You got me worried".

Yes my phone! Oops I forgot it in the car. Hopefully the chauffeur finds and keeps it safe.

"I'm sorry" was all I could mutter.

"Let's go in. I've got plenty gist for you." Kira pulled me into the classroom.

I expected that. Though we met last week and we still spoke yesternight Kira always have something to say

Wait! Who's this one on my seat

Okay you must be thinking, it's a new class and all that how come I know my seat already . Aren't we supposed to just sit wherever we please but this is Coral Coast, you can make reservations for your seating arrangements which I did because I wanted to be seated close to my buddies

So once again who's this one?

I forgot all I was saying and walked up to Mr Dark who's back was turned to me so I tapped his shoulder and..............

Mother of beautiful males!

I was welcomed by a pair of Hazel eyeballs, a perfect dentition and a well defined jawline. Did I forget to mention the shiny pointed nose. Damn!

"Hi". Mr broad shoulder brought me back from

dreamland

He must be a newbie

"Hello. Would you mind vacating this seat?" I went straight to the point.

"To start with, that's not a nice manner of approach to someone you've just met. Secondly why should I vacate my seat?" Mr dark retorted

"My seat." I corrected.

Mr newbie cleared his throat and said "I wouldn't want to start my first day in a new school arguing with some girl, so I would compel you to just let me be."

Is this guy a comedian? Or has Coral Coast started having glitches in their reservation system

"Fine Mr JJC this is Coral Coast and I am sure you must have been provided with an evidence of claim to this seat." I smirked

"Of course my seat pass and lockers' key."

Mr JJC quietly brought out his keys and slid it into the keyhole and began twisting and turning it but the latter didn't bulge.

Wait! Did I just see number 9?

In the same way he inserted the key I removed it and reinserted my own key and it flew open in the first twist

The confusion was that he booked seat number but he was given the pass upside-down so he though his seat number was 6

"Sorry it was a............" Mr JJC attempted to apologize.

"It's fine. I understand." I smiled and gestured to his seat which funny enough was directly behind me. How?

" I see you both have met already." A familiar male voice said behind me.

Kamil! (My personal Mr Foolish) and two other guys.

Kamil is a very good friend of mine though his excesses surpass his goodness but we governed our former class together with me as the class rep and he my deputy.

"Kammie! What's good?. It's been a long time and you didn't even bother checking up on me during the holidays." I laid my accusations

"Aww Ella dear, I'm so sorry, I had a lot on my plate during the holiday coupled with winning souls for Coral Coast too." He said gesturing towards the two beside him and.....Mr JJC

Don't tell me he's one of the friends Kamil told me about

Ohh Kamil was still talking

"Long and short of my story is that (pointing at the guys one by one). This is Samson, here we have Jamal and I guess you already met Alex. They're my friends and newbies at Coral Coast.

Ohh his name is Alex.

"Emmanuella Ade-Wilfred but I prefer you call me Ella." I introduced myself

"Guess who our new class teacher would be?" Kira spoke after being silent for a while.

"Who?" The rest of us chorused

"It would stop being a surprise if I tell you.", Kira smirked.

And just like that we all kept quiet. The class would have been silent if not for the chattering from the other students. Moments later the door to our class opened

This is not happening

" Ohh my days! " Kamil muttered

There's no way Mr Grumpy will be our class teacher

"Hello class!"Mr Grumpy stormed

" Gooday sir. " The class motioned in a low tone

" As you all know, this is a new session you're in a new class so you are bound to have q new teacher. For those who don't know me I'm Mr Green and I would be your class teacher for this session. I wouldn't be condoning any excesses from your rich spoilt brats. That is that on that. I would be appointing Emmanuelle Ade-Wilfred and Abdul-Waheed Kamil as the Class rep and assistant respectively while Adetuga Shakira works in the capacity of the PRO. And I hope I don't have a cause to regret my actions. Have a nice day and once again welcome to your new class. " He passed all his information in one speech and left just like that

" Why me?" I grunted, I was beginning to regret resuming today.

" Congratulations Ella! "A voice from behind me said.

" You should be consoling me. " I said

"You just bagged a position every student would kill to have without breaking a sweat." Alex frowned

That's if it isn't Mr Grumpy. "I said almost yelling

" What's about Mr Green" Alex said laying emphasis on the 'Mr Green '

"Mr Green is a no-nonsense, grumpy old-fashioned, cold snubbish and every other negative-vibe-bringing thing -you -could- think -of teacher. He makes absurd rules and has a shrewd way of punishing students. To cap it all he's a very talented detective.", Kira explained

We spoke at length and got to know one another. It was fun having more like minded people join the crew

ALEX'S POV

It was the first day of resumption zinc I will be attending a new school too. Due to some happenings at my former school my friends and I told our parents we want to change schools. We then decided to join our final wheel at his. It wasn't a decision born out of peer influence but for the fact that Coral Coast Academy had an unstained reputation.

So we ( Kamil, Sam, Jamal and myself) decided to get into the school together so we wouldn't be alienated or miss our way around the school. On getting to the school we stopped by at the administrative block where we were handed our lockers' key and the school map. That was when I realised Kamal made seat reservations from us

Reservation for seats in high school?. Is this some kind of concert?

Moments after we got to the classroom I found my seat and got seated. After a while Kamil introduced us to a fair skinned Kira and we exchanged pleasantries. Kira and I got along pretty well till she went out of the class after dialing a number severally on her phone

Coincidentally our seats were beside each other. I thought Kamil did that so we could be in close contact little did I know that I was not even on my seat. It wasn't until this Ella girl came to lay claim on the seat

Damn she's so beautiful!

The whole world stopped the moment she tapped on my shoulder. Her melanin skin glowing radiantly her hair plaited in neat cornrows with a pink clip at the end -She was giving the ideal schoolgirl vibe on a scale of 10

Holy Father! I could swear that I stopped breathing when she flashed that set of undaunted dentition

"Stop reminiscing Alex" I facepalmed

After the Mr Green saga episode we had time to bond and I must say they're all wonderful people

I learnt that Kira, Ella Kamil and one other girl are members of the Esteemed scholars owing to their outstanding academic and moral performance plus their parents' active performance in the schools Parent Forum sohn Kira's father as the present chairman of the forum

I was astounded when I was informed that these Esteemed Scholars are like VIP Students

Nawa O!

(Pidgin English : Nawa O! Is a playful expression of surprise)

First it was booking of seat now Esteemed scholars
