Friday morning, Civic Education first period. Aunty Ifeoma was teaching us Political Apathy. It was a topic that I have a serious interest in.

"Right, Miss Badmus. You tell us."
"I think it's only unserious people that have political apathy. I think it's these same set of people that'll keep complaining the government is bad, the government is this, the government is that. And they're not even making any change. I actually think it's pretty sick and stupid."
I watched Miss Ifeoma' s face flushed. She was about to say something when someone spoke up
"I don't think that'

~Uthman~I got home around 6pm even though it was a Friday. We had a friendly match with Royal Academy. We won of course, we can't lose with the star boy playing.

My stomach growled, reminding me that the only thing I ate today was that meatpie in the cafeteria."I'm home.""Kaabo. How was the match?""Fine ma."I lingered by the kitchen door without saying anything. She turned and stopped, surprised to see me still standing there."You should go freshen up, dinner will be served before you are done.""Yeah."I nodded at her and left. I passed by Moji's room.

My subconscious started feeling sorry for him then. It was that stupid subconsciousness that made me open my mouth on Monday morning to greet him. We bumped into each other in front of our class and 'Good Morning' was out of my mouth before I could even think twice. Now, I'm mad. I swear.

~Jade~"You're just getting worked up over nothing, sis. It's normal. I don't see any biggie there."I stared at Zee, mouth ajar. We were both in my room.
