Chapter 5: Countdown
Broken Walls
Playlist: countdown by Beyonce
"Wake up" someone screamed making me jump of my bed and I landed on the floor hard since I'm top bunk.
"What the fuck fay are we under attack" I said in pain .
"We're gonna be if you don't take your bath and dress up now" she said as I got up.
"By who" I asked confused.
"By Melissa, our prep(study) prefect and one of the bitchest seniors here.... You don't want to mess with her, her counting is mad" she said and I saw Nat and Nay coming back from their shower .
"When did they wake up" I asked annoyed by their betrayal.
"They never slept, we've been gisting since now shut up let's go" she said taking my hand leading me to the showers.
*************************
I'm almost done dressing up when I heard the bell ring and immediately numbers started flying out.
"10...9....8". Someone I suppose is Melissa started shouting counting from outside downstairs.
" oh shit we're doomed" fay said and I quickly wore my sandals and started running.
"7...6...5" she continued and I was halfway down the stairs .
"Shit I forgot my watch" I said as I ran back upstairs.
"Forget it " Nat said.
"You know I can't" I said and she understood and they all made it outside before Melissa closed the gates and I was still upstairs.
"Well since I'm already screwed ,let me just rest my head a little" I thought eyeing Nat's bed as I put on my watch.
************************
Someone was viragously tapping me. "What" I groaned.
"What are you doing here" she asked and I immediately realized and got up off Nat's bed.
"I...was...just" I stammered and tried to be confident.
"What are YOU doing here" I argued back looking at the pretty girl with long black natural hair and model body with control.
"I'm a senior ,I don't have to go for prep if I don't want to" she said placing a hand on her hip and I just sat there dumfounded.
"You get mind o! Let Lisa not catch you" she Continued.
"Please abeg its too early to get in trouble. Take permission for me.. Say I was with you or something" I pleaded .
"Uggh..ok I'll help you, by the way I'm Bella" she said with a smile.
"I'm Ann" I smiled back.
"Now I have to change to day wear " she whined looking at the tan top and shorts she is wearing.
"Follow me to my hostel since your already dressed ,its upstairs" she lead and I followed her.
"Wow this place is awesome" I said in awe looking at the huge room with pink and cream walls, chandeliers ,games,single huge beds and other cool stuffs.
"Yh I know, seniors live the life" she said.
"And this is my corner don't get lost if you come to visit me" she continued. Judging by the look of her corner she's a girly girl with teddy bears,hair products and irons,little makeup and some books all over her corner and I sat on her bed watching her change.
"You like" she asked turning around from checking herself out in her full length mirror.
"I love" I answered, she wore ripped denim jeans with white converse and the school's crop top with the badge on it an her long black hair is tied in a bun and her edges are gelled to perfection. "Good now let's go prep" she said and we left
School badge above(but the outer is Navy blue).
* Natalie's POV *
"Hmm...I wonder what's taking Ann so long...she probably got lost" I thought to myself.
"Hey guys I'm gonna go check on Ann" I told Nay & Fay and I left. As I stepped out something hard hit my leg and I fell out of shock.
* Elliot's POV *
" come on Austin just pass already" I said tired of his games .
"Shut up ..unless you don't wanna go to the court today" he said as he threw the ball really hard at me and I didn't catch it.
"Look at your dick move" I said as I looked back and noticed the ball hit a girl.
"You see what you've done" I accused Austin.
* Natalie's POV *
"Aw" I hissed landing on the floor. "Stupid basketball" I said looking at my leg.
"Shit! I'm really sorry" a familiar voice said behind me and he came in front of me revealing Elliot who looked hot in his navy blue and orange basketball jersey with the number 7 and captain on it.
He looks like a model ,the Nigerian version of G-eazy. "Are you OK" he asked helping me up.
"Yh I'm fine, was just startled " I said.
"Well I'm Elliot" he introduced.
"I know who you are" I giggled . the fuck ,why I'm I giggling but he just smirked.
"Of course you do" he said.
"I'm Natalie, Nat for short" I said with a smile.
"Well love to stay and chat but I'll be late for practice and the idiot behind me is waiting for me" he said pointing at Austin and I looked and waved at him and he waved back.
"Bye" he said and waved goodbye. "Bye" I said and turned in glee and saw Ann smiling at me standing next to some senior.
* Ann's POV *
I was walking with Bella to study hall with my cute Gucci bag
When I saw Nat talking to Elliot ,they looked so cute with him looking down at her and they're so close but he was just leaving and she turned and I approached her.
"I can see that you have nakked" I said wiggling my brows .
"Shut up" she said but blushing a little.
"Anyway this is Bella,She's a senior" I said pointing at Bella as she exchanged greetings with Nat.
"Ok nice to meet you,now let's go prep" she beamed.
"Cause man talk to you, you now like reading" I asked surprised and before she could answer someone shouted my name.
"Ann get here now" Melissa said and I ran to her as fast as I could to her.
"Where have you been" she said and I couldn't properly answer cause I was scared especially with Asher there.
"Shut up bitch she was with me" Bella said coming to my rescue and all the seniors on the table chanted "wows and damns" for killing her point except for Asher sha.
"Consider yourself lucky " Lisa said flipping her brown locks too embarrassed to say anything again. God is everyone in this school drop dead gorgeous I thought looking at her again.
"Thank you" I said walking back to a table with Bella while Nat joined Nay and Fay again.
"What was her problem" I asked .
"She just takes her jib very seriously, apart from that she's a total bitch too" she said and I laughed then Melissa glared at us and I bent down on the table my shoulders still rising and falling out of laughter .
"Quiet" Bella warned. "Don't worry you'll survive but don't enter her trap " she continued.
"Ok" and we fist bumped .we continued to chat and know each other more and I really like her .
"Hey your pretty cool, you wanna be my    school daughter" she offered.
"Sure I would love to" I said smiling .
"Kk bye" she said as the bell rang for prep over and we got up and left.
