Chapter 8 Eight

The bus pulled at the house and horned. Tamiloore opened the gate like she had been waiting for the bus. 

The bus driver pressed on the horn again before Semiloore walked out, waggering, her skirt unzipped.

She walked lazily into the bus and high five the bus driver who gives her a small smile as she sat down.

"Your skirt is unzipped, its against the school rules, you know that" Peter said as Semiloore sat down.

"Too lousy" Semiloore replied as she zipped her skirt.

Joshua laughed at the back at her gesture while Nathaniel just chuckled.

"Her attitudes are unladylike" Nathaniel said rolling his eyes.

"Like she gives a damn" John deadpanned and Joshua bursts into laughter before high fiving John.

"You've got it bro" Joshua added.

Its been two weeks since they joined Oxford and although both twins are very much alike, in characters the difference is just too obvious. Tamiloore is a rather calm and cool headed girl, who smiles a lot and has a lot of friends while Semiloore isn't exactly hot tempered but her sharp and foul mouth mouth had given her enemies everywhere on the block and although the both rarely and avoids contacts with their seniors, they are popular amongst them.

"Hey shorty, what did you get in your number 4 physics assignment?" Semiloore asked.

"34.56m" Maria replied.

Semiloore frowned as she adjusted herself "How did I do my own? Jeez, this is frustrating" Semiloore murmured as she turned to Joshua.

"Hey prick what's your number 4 physics assignment answer?" Semiloore asked.

Joshua doesn't seem to mind the insult and seem to  think for a moment.

"He's not a prick" Nathaniel replied and Semiloore glared at him.

"Like I was talking to you, olofofo"(means poke noser in English) Semiloore replied rolling her eyes.

The bus roared with laughter and even Joshua and John can't hold theirs.

"You could tell him to mind his business without insulting him" Rolake fired out.

"I refuse to waste my spit on you" Semiloore replied and the bus is jerked into another round of laughter.

"Something like 34.something sha" Joshua replied.

"What about you?"Semiloore asked turning to John.

"Same" John replied.

"Daniel" Semiloore called out.

"Huh?" A voice answered.

"What did you get?" Semiloore asked.

"34.56m" Daniel replied.

"Eh? God, what did I do?" Semiloore asked no one in particular.

"What did you get?" Daniel asked.

"I'll rather not say it" Semiloore replied twisting her ear.

"Awey say it jare"(means cmon say it) Joshua added.

"122.67" Semiloore replied.

"Eh?" Peter asked laughing.

"Good luck with your nonsense" Rolake bickered.

"I refuse to waste my spit on you seh" Semiloore said and everybody burst into laughter again.

"Its not like the spit is useful before" Rolake interjected.

"Rolake stop looking for trouble" Peter snapped at her.

"Whose trouble am I looking for eh? I don't understand who's giving you liver, always insulting everybody, I wonder if it feels good ni oh"(means she doesn't know who's giving her confidence and if she feels good insulting people)  Rolake said out back.

Semiloore rested her back and pretended to think for a minute " You know they are people I've not insulted in this bus , people like Sewa, Mayowa, Jerry, Ezi, Joanne, want me to continue reeling off the names at least more than of the people in this bus and do you know why? Because they have sense" Semiloore replied.

"So us that you've insulted we don't have sense?" Rolake asked.

"Exactly, eg. You, you don't have sense, your minions don't have either" Semiloore replied shrugging her shoulders.

"How dare you!" Rolake bellowed in anger.

"See what I was saying, even if I told Joshua he was an idiot, he'll glare at me and laugh, it shows one more thing, he's mature" Semiloore added.

"So am not mature?" Rolake asked again.

"You are childish, always nagging like a 8-year old kid asking for a doll house" Semiloore snapped at her.

The whole bus burst into laughter and even this time around Nathaniel laughed quietly.

Rolake is so angry that she can't say anything, "I'm going to kill you" she bellowed.

"Okay! Everybody if I fall sick, Rolake is the one doing me oo"(means if she falls sick,Roland should be held responsible) Semiloore said laughing.

"You should watch what you say in public" Tamiloore who appeared not to be interested in the brawl for a while slowly muttered with a smile.

Rolake turned to her sharply, "Why?" Rolake asked.

"Because if something really happens to her, I'll hold you responsible" Tamiloore replied and the bus went silent.

"I was just joking" Rolake replied.

"You had better be" Tamiloore added.

"She attacked me first" Rolake said frowning.

"No, you looked for trouble first" Tamiloore replied.

"Me?" Rolake asked.

"If you want to bicker all day long, look for your match" Tamiloore stated.

This is the very first time Tamiloore is supporting Semiloore openly. She had never interfered in her brawls,all she ever do,is laugh and ignore.

"In the end I wasted my precious spit on you" Semiloore fake cried and everyone burst into laughter.

"I hate you" Rolake said through clenched teeth.

"Hate is a strong word darling but trust me, same here" Semiloore replied.

Peter laughed as he shook his head "Tamiloore is so right, you should look for your match" Peter said.

"Semiloore isn't her match" someone added as the bus drove into the school.

"Lest I forget, Semiloore you haven't joined any club or sports or activity" Maria said.

"Please it bores me out" Semiloore replied.

"Its compulsory here" Maria said.

"I'm in the handball team and also in the chess class" Maria added.

"Football and ludo class" Peter said when Semiloore turned to him.

"So which one are you going to join?" Maria asked.

"Football and I don't know yet" Semiloore replied.

"You can play?" Maria asked.

"Way better than me" Peter replied remembering the first time he met Semiloore.

"Whoa! Position" Maria asked.

"Striker" Semiloore replied.

"I'll take you see the female football cap" Peter said.

"Snr Oniye is sorta harsh but am sure she'll warm up to you quick I mean you are so friendly" Peter added his tone betraying his words and Maria burst into laughter.

"Take her now then" Maria said to Peter.

"Let's go" Peter said to Semiloore.

Semiloore whistled as they walked through the SS3 walkway and they stop at SSS3X.

"Seniors please may we come in?" Peter asked.

"Come in" someone replied and as the students see who the visitors are;their attention is diverted.

"Snr Oniye, good afternoon" Peter greeted.

"How are you?" Oniye asked.

"I'm fine. This is Semiloore" Peter said.

"I know her" Oniye replied running her eyes up and down Semiloore.

"She wants to join the football team" Peter replied.

Oniye turned to Semiloore with a cold stare.

"You want to learn how to play football or you want to join the team?" Oniye asked.

Semiloore scoffed much to their amazement "I can play football" Semiloore replied.

"Ohh, how well? Rate yourself on the scale of 10" Oniye said.

"12" Semiloore replied as a smirk finds a way to Oniye's face.

"Over confidence huh?" Oniye said.

"Not over confidence, just saying am really good" Semiloore replied.

"Okay, we'll test you tomorrow" Oniye said.

"Semiloore shrugged in reply. Oniye glanced at the girl in her front;confidence was oozing from her, she wasn't even scared of her. She had heard a lot of things about her and how she was foul mouthed.

"One of the rules of the team is no insulting, can you cope?" Oniye asked.

"What makes you think I can't cope?" Semiloore asked.

"Your reputation for been foul mouthed is quite something" Oniye replied.

Semiloore laughed much to her amazement "Haven't you noticed there's a peculiarity to the people I insult?" Semiloore asked.

"What peculiarity?" Oniye asked.

"Most of them are stupid" Semiloore replied.

Peter who is used to her laughed a little.

"Whoa!" Oniye said with slight surprise.

"And sorry, stupid people annoy me quite much especially when they can't keep their mouth shut" Semiloore added.

"You don't think you don't fall into that category?" A boy at the far end of the class asked, his head is his book but he seemed to have heard everything.

Semiloore sighed as she faced him, "Of course not, I always mind my business" Semiloore replied.

"What did you just say?" The boy asked.

"Its not nice to but into other people's business, besides girls do that. Not guys" Semiloore replied.

"Jesus!"

"Dare, sorry o"

The boy raised his head and turned to Semiloore.

"He's cute" Semiloore whispered to Peter who glared at her.

"Get on your damn knees" Dare bellowed.

"Why?" Semiloore asked stunning everyone in the class.

"How dare you ask him why?" A girl asked angry.

"This girl is mad o" another girl added.

"She's actually stupid" another guy said shaking his head.

"Who does she think she is?" The first girl who spoke before said again.

"Abi"(means that she agrees) another one added.

Everyone kept chipping in their opinions "Sorry Dare, I need to see her right now" a voice said as someone walked inside the class room. The class became quiet.

"Feranmi, you can't take her, am punishing her" Dare said with a tone of finality.

"For answering your question? Snr Dare, you sure are a weird one" Semiloore said.

"Shut down" the guy who just walked in said to her.

"I'm not a computer please" Semiloore replied irritated.

"Apologize to him now" Feranmi stated said as Semiloore eyed him.

"Why?" Semiloore asked.

"Because you were rude" Feranmi eplied.

"Rude! Answering a senior's question is rude, whoa" Semiloore said mock surprise on her face.

"Just apologize already" Feranmi said.

"I'm sorry" Semiloore said her face betraying her words.

"Its too sloppy" Dare replied feeling smug.

"As a lady.... " Dare started.

"She's sorry Snr Dare" Tamiloore's voice comes from the door and everyone turned.

"You are?" Dare asked.

"Doesn't matter, she's sorry" Tamiloore stated firmly.

Dare sighed and glanced at Semiloore "You've got an angel for a sister, I wonder how you behave like this, its okay" Dare said.

"Thank you Snr Dare but can I say something?" Tamiloore asked.

"Sure" Dare said folding his arms.

"Snr Dare shouldn't have looked for her trouble in the first place, everyone knows that my sister has quite a foul mouth, did you think saying that would make her feel miserable and maybe she'll cry or something? I know Snr Dare wanted to purposely embarrass my sister, am sorry if I sound straight forward but you sorta messed with the wrong person. Semiloore is purely her own person and doesn't act like that for something or someone, she had always been like that. So Snr Dare in future, I'll wish you wouldn't have such intentions again and should in case they might backfire again. Thank you" Tamiloore said with all seriousness.

Not only Dare is loss for words, even the crowd is loss and they can only watch as Tamiloore led Semiloore out.
