Hope - Episode 2
My New School
It was Ayo's first day as a secondary school student in Nightingale Academy. She remembered the first day she was there. It was just three weeks ago during the summer coaching, when she came with her mom to register as a J. S. S 1 Student. She wrote the school’s entrance examination and was just few marks above the pass mark. Anyways, she was offered admission.
Judging by the standard and look of the school, is a school for the average family
. It is built on three plots of land. It has a U-shaped structure. It is a three floor building with enough classrooms, library, 2 school halls, a dinning hall, 2 staffrooms, enough offices, laboratories and so much more. Its sporting facilities are accurately equipped and the teachers are well qualified.
The jingle of the bell interrupted Ayomide’s thought followed by a loud cry “Assembly time! It was then she realized she has being standing outside the school gate since she arrived there about 15 minutes ago. She immediately ran inside the school but was suddenly stopped by a voice.
“Drop your bag there”, the voice commanded.
“Why?” Ayomide retorted.
“Because you’re late”, the voice answered.
“But the bell was just jingled”, Ayomide said not wanting to concede. She didn't want to put her bag on the floor.
“And so! You came in after that which means you are late”
“Ehen, who…”
The voice stopped her as she made to talk again getting infuriated by the girl’s audacity

. Ayomide on the other hand wasn’t ready to give in to a fellow student just because she's new. What she didn't know was that the student in front of her isn't just any student but the head boy of the school.
“Who are you?” Ayomide asked not minding the student in front of her.
“My name is Bayo and I'm the …” he didn't want to tell her he is the head boy just yet. “Never mind, I am just a prefect in this school and if you don't obey me, I will have no choice but to report you to the teacher in charge”
“Please don't”, Ayomide pleaded. She hurriedly dropped her belonging and made to proceed to the assembly hall but Bayo stopped her and warned her not to be stubborn on her first day in a new school. With this warning, he allowed her to go.
Bayo has been the head boy of Nightingale Academy since the inception of its secondary school in 2010.

. He has been the head boy mainly because of his brilliance and capability to lead. He was as the gate post that morning because the labour prefect wasn’t around. He had not to meet such a girl that morning and to be honest, he felt a bit intimidated by her.
Meanwhile, Ayomide couldn't stop thinking of her encounter with Bayo. She knew deep form within herself that it wasn't the fact that he was a senior student not that her is a prefect that made her obey him. If not for the mention of him reporting to the teacher, she knew she wouldn't have complied. One thing she dreaded most was being disciplined by a teacher. At this moment, Ayomide missed her previous school, Lizben nursery and primary school.
Lizben School is mainly a school for the rich and Ayomide's late father could afford to pay her school fees. The school do not discipline its student in any form for the fear of the ward’s parent. Ayomide loved and missed the school for that. But here in hey new school, she has been told by her mother that the teachers discipline the student. For this reason, she was scared when Bayo mentioned the word “teacher”.
“Would I ever get used to this condition”, she thought.
