EPISODE 5

"Matriculation!" Nono squealed with excitement. It was near. Finally, she would be officially recognized as a lioness.

"Can't wait," she texted her friend, Redeemed.

"Relax. It's only... this Saturday! 😄" Redeemed texted back.

Nono threw her hands in the air in a show of ecstacy. Her phone rang. It was "Snob." 🤨 Nono scoffed and picked the call.

"Hello. How can I help you?" Nono feigned politeness.

"You're unusually nice today," he replied.

"It's called sarcasm. What do you want?"

"Have you forgotten we're supposed to fix a class?"

"What's there to fix?"

"We need a venue, since History classroom is too small."

"Book the faculty hall then," Nono said with a fling of her hand.

She heard him sigh and say, "What will you do then?"

Sit on my bed and look cool, Nono thought with a grin. She replied, "You're the course rep. My only duty is to tell you what to do. That's what bosses do."

"What a lazy boss."

Nono sat up straight and said in a pissed tone, "If you have card to burn, burn it with someone else. Okay? I'm not interested in you. You are not my spec." She stopped when she heard him laugh. Then he cut the call. She growled and wondered what his problem was.

He had been very pesty lately. He would bother her about "his" duties and scold her for leaving him to do all the work. Like, what was his deal? 🧐

"Daddy, there's someone after my life," Nono whimpered when her father returned from his office. She hugged him and looked at him with sad eyes.

"Really? Who's giving my boss daughter a tough time? Is it a lecturer?"

"No. The history class rep," Nono muttered with disdain.

"A student? Wow," said Dr Griffin. His wife, who was on another chair picking vegetables, smiled at him.

"He keeps picking on me and telling me my work. Me, the boss!" Nono groaned.

"Oh, a boy. You know, he might just be trying to show his admiration for you," Dr Griffin said and stroke his chin.

"Yuck, daddy! 😣 Well, he might, but I wonder why he can't do it like the boys in my class. Write a letter. By the way, daddy, something happened in school. The cutest guy in my class actually walked up to me today and asked me out," Nono said excitedly.

"What did you tell him?" he asked and his wife looked at Nono.

"I laughed in his face," Nono said and laughed. Dr Griffin chuckled, but Mrs Griffin frowned.

"That's not nice. He's trying to tell you his emotions. What if you chase your better half with that attitude?" Mrs Griffin asked.

Nono and her dad looked at her, then at each other. Then they burst out laughing. Mrs Griffin shook her head and said, "Like father, like daughter." She stood up and left for the kitchen. She said, "Nonye, come and pound the cocoyam."

Nono protested, "Wait! No, mummy. I'm sorry for laughing. Daddy, save me from this torture," Nono whined.

"You're the boss," he replied and abandoned her to the command of her mother.

Later on, Nono escaped to her room and landed on her bed. She picked her phone and sent a message to the info group chat, "After-matric anonymous night loading..."

Her post was instantly reacted to by seventy of her classmates while her phone vibrated with loads of incoming messages. Nono giggled and posted the lecture alert for the next day, Friday. It was only one lecture; History. She wondered why the lecturer couldn't just give them the day off considering the day after that was her matric.

"Shouldn't you be happy to cover up the course outline?" Caleb would no doubt ask her. Nono hissed. Then she laughed as she remembered her father's words about Caleb. "Caleb and I? What a match," she said with ridicule.
