Immediately she was done, the D.J started his main duty. P-square's busy body was the hit song of the moment. There was no better song with which to start the party.

Students from other schools must be wondering, "what is an SSS1 student doing being the quizmaster?" While my schoolmates would be asking, "why is this boy who isn't in our club the quizmaster?"

If these boys won't let me in, I might as well accept my loss and leave now. They better hope they never cross my path in this school. If I ever get a chance to exact my revenge on them though, it would be excruciating.

Until this day, I am still not sure why I ran downstairs. It is not as if I had spoken to her before. Until today, I had only seen her twice. Once at the church when her family was introduced to the congregation, and the second time was when she, her mum, and her siblings visited my house.

Every Friday, after school hours, my friends were engaged in something called "The Big Ballers League". It involved students from my school and a few schools around. They met at a football field and have their respective teams engage in a league format competition.

As I shook hands with Pastor Tega, I looked behind him and saw an elderly woman and three delectable, effervescent, and beautiful young ladies. They were in the company of our outgoing pastor's family.

Eventually, Henry, our class captain had to send out everyone who wasn't a member of our class. I don't need to say it, but the magic of Valentine was dead. Cupid probably sat atop a cloud weeping.

On the first day of February, we got into class to meet a massive bouquet of flowers on Valentina's table. All the girls quickly gathered around her, discussing who the sender might be.

From the first day we got into school, every boy in my class had been trying to get noticed by Valentina. Boys in other classes too. Even senior students. Valentina was the crown jewel of our school and every boy was doing all he could to claim her.
