AFTER SCHOOL HOURS
CHAPTER TWO: MAGNET
Funmilayo enters into her class before others who had been at the assembly ground came in. the face of the young boy being flogged continued to flash through her mind. No this can’t be, is she feeling pity for him or is she falling in love with him? It can’t be. That he is putting on short means that he is in a junior class.
FODSTAY COMPREHENSIVE COLLEGE has made it that only students in SS3 class would wear trousers for the boys and skirts for the girls. So obviously the boy is in a lower class. But which class could he be in? Could he be in JSS class? No, that can’t be. He talks maturely and with confidence. He should be in either SS1 or 2. “I don’t even know his name” these words came out of her mouth without her knowing. “What did you say”? asked Bimpe. Bimpe is her closest friend and of course her seat mate.
“What do you mean?” she replied. “Who is he?” Bimpe asked further. “I..I..I don’t understand…..” Funmilayo stammers but before she could finish her words Bimpe fired on. “you said you don’t even know his name and I am asking you who he is” Funmilayo looks round the classroom. All are busy gisting and chatting and doing some personal things. Funmilayo picks her bags and moves towards the door. “Where are you going to?” Bimpe asked and without looking back Funmilayo gave an answer. :to the lab” “Labouratory! For what” Bimpe further asked. Funmilayo stopped in front of the classroom pointing at the time table that has been written with chalk on a black surface beside the board. She got the attention of the class and not only was she going to respond to Bimpe’s questions but she was going to also make an announcement to the entire class. “Wednesday, first period is Physics. Please dare to be late” she walks out of the classroom. Immediately students started packing their bags and ran after her. But Bimpe knows that there is more to it. She picks her bag and follows.
Mr. Toba who has been sitting in the lab is surprised to see Funmilayo, he looks at his wrist watch and before he could ask her why she has decided to come to the Labouratory early, the entire class had trooped into the Labouratory. He had before now been disappointed at the low attendance during his Physics class. That he had proposed in his heart to set a test for the students. As he raised his head up, he became surprised to see the entire SS3 A students in the lab. What had happened? “Who has licked my secret to you all” he said, but the students now looked at themselves in dismay. “Who told you that there was going to be a test today” continued Mr. Toba. “I had wanted to teach some of you a lesson, but since my secret has been let out, I would preserve it for another day”. He goes to the board to write the topic for the lesson. MAGNET. As he writes, the students turned to Funmilayo, some who are far from her were waving their hands. Funmilayo has become their heroine.
Throughout the lesson, Funmilayo’s heart had been in ‘wonderland’. She only heard when Mr. Toba said negative pole and positive pole attract. Mr. Toba had further narrated by saying just as girls are attracted to boys and vice versa, so is the case of magnet. Every other thing that Mr. Toba taught did not go through. Her mind was no longer in the classroom. She has been thinking of the magnetic force that is pulling her heart to the new student whom she had handed over to the Labour Prefect to punish. “I must see him, I must see him again” she said to herself. “Who is he?” came the calm voice of Bimpe. Funmilayo was taken aback. How did Bimpe hear what she was thinking? Is it that she has been thinking aloud? Since when has she been talking to herself that she did not know how Bimpe had crawled to the seat next to hers’. Funmilayo could no longer hide her feelings, yet she could not tell her best friend what is going on in her mind. She has become restless and sweat had started gathering on her face. She wished the class comes to an end so that she could go back to her class and possibly go and search for him. She looked round the class to see if any had been eavesdropping. She turns back to Bimpe who is interested in her confession. “I will tell you when we get back to class.
