Banky

Chapter 10

Debby's Pov: Daddy won't let me throw a birthday party this year. Not only that, Mum woke me up around 4am, to pray for me. My mother's prayer as usual, takes hours, thank God I was born around 4am, if she had given birth to me around 12am I would have been stuck in my mother's prayer for hours. The classroom was quiet when I entered, Banky was sitting on a table with a guitar. He performed a 'happy birthday duet' then slowly the rest of her classmate entered the class to sing along with him......just like that it felt like a birthday.

Debby was tired already, as usual her mother woke her up around 4am for her birthday prayer, unlike last year she had been getting wishes from almost everybody, through text messages, from Facebook, Instagram, even from the school's gate, everyone had hugged her and wished her happy birthday. But Banky wasn't there, that made her sad.

Debby took her phone to text Joseph

Debby: Are you in school yet?

Joseph: yes, I'm on prefect duty

Debby: meet me in the toilet

Joseph: why? are you upset? f*ck it D! it's ur birthday

Debby: are you coming or not?

Joseph: I'm on my way, wait 4 me

Debby walked quietly to the toilet, everyone was wishing her well for her birthday and she smiled to everyone like it's okay.

Joseph was already waiting for her at the toilet, it was the toilet, they were not worried about being caught, it was the toilet meant for school prefects and at these time prefects are usually making sure the students are getting ready for assembly. They got into one of the toilet, lips clashed, hands were everywhere, belt loosed, skirt raised, they held nothing back until he released.

They got dressed quietly, Debby knew Joseph was dying to ask her what made her upset but he didn't, he just took a stick of cigarette and put it in his hands, that's why she chose Joseph. He never asked any questions, he's always there for her whenever she needed him. Joseph left her at the toilet space to go outside where the mirrors and waited for a Debby to come outside, when Debby came out, Joseph was already smoking, she was about to speak when Dami came in.

"Jeez, Senior J it's early for a smoke" Dami said "and what are you doing here?" Dami asked Debby

"This keeps me same" Joseph smiled at Dami, then he put off the cigarette.

"Nothing, I was just talking to Joseph about church" Debby answered Dami "Why are you here?" Debby asked Dami.

"church huh in the toilet" Debby asked looking at them both very suspiciously, first Debby's lipstick was smudged, Joseph's tie was rough and who talks about church in a toilet "well, I'm here to check out the toilet" Dami answered.

"Why?" both Joseph and Debby asked

"Mum just told me that we will start contesting for prefectship from next week" Dami told them excited

"oh" Debby deadpanned

"After all I said, all you can say is 'oh'?" Dami asked

"Maybe, she's not as excited as you are, Dami. Not everyone is like you" Joseph said remember the stress he went through when he was contesting the previous year. The school bell rang which meant it's time for assembly "Well, shall we?" Joseph asked while signaling to the door. Debby walked out first, followed by a very suspicious Dami, then Joseph followed.

Shola wore the gown Michael choose for her, she had hired a makeup artist for her makeup, she had put on her wig, she also used her body perfume. She was satisfied with who she's seeing in the mirror but worry laced on the girl's face on the mirror, she was worried that Toby might not like what he sees.
