"Na so! See ya sef! Common sense you will not have" I hissed.
Freddy frowned and pointed his forefinger at me. "Mention any female president you know" he yelled.
"Um..."
He cuts me short. "You see!"
"Esss! Hold it" I stretched my palm to his face. "I am not through".
"Oya, mention na!"
Freddy and I were meant to be reading. After that awkward moment between Anita and Mr Steven. I met Freddy coping his note.
I am really a world changer! See as I don change am. I deserve a noble prize.
I decided to share my worries with him. I told him about my debate. Instead of him to advise me, he is giving me reasons why my team would lose. According to him, since I would be proposing the motion that a woman can be the president of Nigeria, there was no way I could win.
Ode! Women are great species jare!
"Queen Elizabeth is doing a great job in her country" I pointed out.
"Mention other female president" he snapped.
"Well..."
I don't know politics na! But I know that there are female presidents. I lie?
"What happened? Fuel has finish abi?" he taunted.
"Don't be stupid! You know in your heart that there are many female president" I sneered. I was standing at the front of Freddy's desk. He sat with his arms crossed and his brows furrowed.
"Yes but there are more of male president which means that women run away from presidency due to the heavy task," he replied. "A Nigerian woman cannot handle the duty of a president".
"And why not?"
"Cos they are weak!"
"If I slap you eh, your brain will reset! Weak my foot! We are even stronger than men" I fired.
"How?"
"A woman handles the responsibility of the home. She takes care of the children and also her husband. Can a man do that?" I proclaimed.
"Why would we want to do that? It is a woman's duty so as it is a man's duty to rule. We are the head. The bible even says so"
"I am serious. To slap you dey hungry me. How can you even say so? Don't you know that quote that behind a successful man is a great woman" I fired back.
"Is that how the quote goes?"
"I don't know! But my point is that girls rule. Females are awesome species"
"Chai, I no blame you. Your matter dey taya me!"
"Mumu! A woman can be the president jor"
"It can not happen. You guys are too emotional"
"It is not all women that is emotional. Some are strong, brave and courageous"
"If you see one, tell me"
"Ode!"
"But it is true na. Do you think you can handle a big country like Nigerian? The trouble in this country is too much"
"We can still do with. The fact is when a woman is determined. No one can stop her unlike men that are easily tempted" I snarled.
"Cupcake, na wa for you oo! Just accept it and move on"
I grunted, "Is it my fault that they gave me such a debate topic? You are not even a good boyfriend. Aren't you suppose to help me prepare for the debate?"
"I don't know anything about debate"
"So?"
"Okay, fine!" he stood up and walked to my side. "You know those point you said while we were arguing?"
"Yeah!"
"Use them! They might be useful"
"It is true oo! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Cos you are dumb!" he chuckled.
"Come oo, who is talking?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Mtchew!" he hissed and folded his arms. He drew his lips into a thin line.
"See mouth like fish own!" I eyed him.
"What kind of girlfriend do I have oo?" he exclaimed and placed both hands on his head.
"Go and ask Google! It would be useful" I sniggered.
"Wait oo! Is it me you are talking to like that?"
"No oo! Na your twin!"
"Judge yourself, do you have sense? Do I even have a twin?"
"Yes I have sense, dummy!"
"Na lie!"
"I have sense jor"
After a while of bickering, we resumed back to school work. We worked on our assignments together and I helped him copy some of his note. Even though I hate coping note! Sha, let me act like a good girlfriend! For now...Muahaha! Just kidding! I am not a villain....I think!
After all the work, we were on our way home. We got to the school gate. I was ready to leave so I said, "Goodbye!"
"Wait!" Freddy voiced.
"What?"
"Don't you think you should enter okada (motorcycle)? It would make your journey short" he suggested.
"I don't have transportation money" I replied.
I have money but I am saving it. Don't even say I am stingy to myself cos I am not. I am saving the money to get somethings I wished to have. One of them is wireless earphones. It seems to be reigning now. Just want to join the gang!
"I will pay!"
"Don't worry!" I waved my hand at him and sauntered towards home.
"Wait!" Freddy ran to my side and flashed a toothy smile at me. "I will walk with you. I don't want anything to happen to my cupcake".
"I am fine na! Go home!"
"This is the road to my home" he replied.
"Okay!" I gave a brief smile and replaced it with an emotionless face.
He threw his arm around my shoulder and asked, "It is romantic for a boyfriend to walk his babe home. Smile jare!" .
I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and smirked. "Fine!"
We walked with his arm around my shoulder. Our conversation was centered on his love for art. The way he spoke was amazing. You could tell that he really loved it. His smile was genuine as he shared the joy he had when he sketched.
Haba! Why don't I know how to draw? Ki lo de?
"Will you show me some of your drawing?" I quizzed.
"Sure! Some are hung in the Art studio" he replied with that charming smile of his.
Drawing really makes him happy! I admire that! He has passion for something. What do I even have passion for?
Hmm...maybe watching tv and reading. I do enjoy them a lot.
"Which art studio?" I questioned and gazed at him. We were close to each other since his arm was still on my shoulder. It is actually nice and protective. All those motorist (Okada drivers) didn't look at me like they do in the past. Maybe because they saw me with a guy.
Nice! Is not as if I am that beautiful but those men like to whistle and tell me 'Fine girl, how are you?'
"The one in our school" he replied.
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "Can you draw me?"
"You?" he studied my face. "I think so but it would be stressful. I can still try".
"Try! I want to see it" I beamed.
We got to a junction. Freddy stopped and pulled his arm away from my shoulder.
"We are going to have to separate here" he said.
"What do you mean?"
"My house is actually far but I have to go down that street," he paused and pointed at the left road. "Yours is there, right?" he asked and pointed at the right road.
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "No problem".
He whistle to get the attention of two motorists. They rode to our direction and stopped.
"Cupcake, I will pay for your ride. Get in! You need to go home early," he insisted, pulling out a wallet from his school bag.
"Don't worry, I can trek"
Lies! I am a couch potato. Trekking is not my thing!
"Come on" he pulled me closer to the okada (motorcycle). With his hand in mine, I was able to get on the bike with less effort.
What a gentlemanlike act!!
"Bye cupcake" he smiled and hopped into the bike effortlessly. I waved and watched as our different bikes went to opposite directions.

"I can't believe it" Anita exclaimed and Fannie me with her hand. "You have a boyfriend?"
"Yes," I replied.
"How did that happen? Did you bribe him or is this some kind of joke?"
"Ah! What do you mean by that?"
"Naomi, my sister has a boyfriend! Chimo!" she dramatically placed her hands on her head.
"Mtchew! Drama Queen"
"But seriously, how did you guess become a couple?"
I rolled my eyes and began the whole story. I told her about my idea to create a love story. After the full narration, Anita stared at me, doe-eyed.
"Have you guys gone on a date?" she asked.
"Hmm..." I didn't even expect that question. "We haven't" I whispered.
"What kind of boring love story is that?"
"Ah! Is it my fault? I don't want wahala (trouble). What if mom and dad catch me? Don't you know that they would skin me alive," I yelled and rolled my eyes.
"I have gone on many dates. I will help you" she suggested.
"Don't worry! I don't think my story needs a dating scene"
"If I slap you, you must go on that date. I will help you" she insisted and rolled out of the bed we were on. "That's why you have a sister".
"To encourage me to have a date and to disobey my parents?" I borrowed my eyes at her, giving her a questioning look.
"No na! To help you with your challenges! For I am..." she placed her hands on her hip and struck a superhero pose.
What's wrong with this girl!
"For I am..." she repeated.
"For you are what?" I yelled in frustration.
"I am looking for the right name to call myself. Should I say Anita the Great or Anita the Wonder woman....Wait! Anita the supergirl..." Anita rambled as she spoke under her breathe.
I slammed my palm ony forehead. Is she really trying to select a superhero name?
~~~Author's note~~~

Are you excited about Freddy and Naomi's date?
Do you think a women are great?
