“YOU MAY BE THE FIRST BUT ARE YOU THE BEST.”
It’s been a day since Xavier spoke to us about our roles and the seniors we tackle, he made us understand that this is no showoff but they will try to make it one, he explained how these guys are our seniors at the end of the day and there is nothing we can do than give them that respect or we will cause a fight or a conflict and the seniors will take over the event that we are supposed to plan with them, truth be told they are still older and in some sorts better than us even though we know that is not the truth we just need to give them respect.
“we need to give them respect, we shouldn’t be so stupid that we would raise our shoulders up to prove something, we are the highlights of the school the schools best intellectually and that’s that, they are still our seniors, knowing them I don’t expect them to make the task we are trying to complete easy but never mind that, before that they will first want to access us, they will first try to talk smart and make us slip up, they will test our patience and try to provoke us, they will make us loose our cool and composure but we must remain calm, I know this is sounding like a battle but it is no battle, it is the truth about the issue at hand,  we must be patient because they may think they have an edge but at the same time they kind of do, look they are the ones who take care of school when we are not around or when the teachers are not around, they more or less have control over us in a way but we have an edge, we answer directly to the principal. So, we must also plan out our actions carefully.” Xavier said, giving us a hint on how to behave with them, its 9:23, its Thursday and we are in the faces of the prefects, I mean directly in front of me I see my own piece of the cake, the thing is we didn’t know how they will arrange themselves but with how they are arranged it means who is in front of you, you will talk to. 
On the right side we are and on the other they stand with eyes and smiles like they are ready to devour and my, well I will call her partner, is not helping the matter, just our eyes meeting alone is already creating crazy tension, and just like my luck runs out every time, it had to run out today, who was standing face to face with me was the head girl and Xavier with the head boy.
 After the assembly we waited behind but it was in an open space so there was not much tension, just us standing at our place and them standing at theirs. In groups we were, downstairs waiting for the principal to give an introduction and a somewhat concept to our long-awaited meeting. We waited for a short while but we then heard what the principal had to say.
“Good morning to you all.” He said coming into our midst.
“Good morning, sir.” We all replied him.
“Now we are here for a reason and I am more or less honored to be in the midst of you both believe it or not, you guys are the diamonds and pride of the school in my years of being a principal we have had amazing sets but sets like this really make me love my job and everything my job stands for, that being said you are all gathered here today for a reason. We have a program coming up, for the seniors this is your final term and also your final year and this is going to signify your leave. We would normally say this should be planned by just the seniors and that was the plan at first but we then agreed on the seniors and soon to be seniors to plan these events, we thought to ourselves that this will finally form a kind of relationship between you guys. Anyways this is the issue, it is a five-day event and it is being hosted by the direct owners of the school so we need to really nail this, we have two events at hand but we still don’t know which to pick so that job is given to you, we have planned nothing for the events except from well, it’s all in the report I am holding in my hand. So, I will give you guys’ time to do whatever you want to do and then you will get back to me plus you guys will be giving me your ideas by next week Monday, the board expects great things from you guys, you guys are the schools pride and gems so please don’t disappoint, I mean you won’t even disappoint, I trust you guys. Just know this my diamonds in the rough, these are your seniors and this is their last service to the school so please help them the best way you can.” That is what he said leaving the middle and coming to our space looking each of us in the eyes as he spoke to us. He left shortly after and then the head boy broke the ice by coming out to greet us, he had a calm straight face, a face that showed seriousness, there was literally no way to know if this guy was friendly or not.
“Let’s move upstairs to our class.” He said as he looked back and led the way and they all followed him, then we went after. We got to the classroom and the class was empty, the chairs stacked and pushed to the edge and then the tables arranged round the class except the front, this is where the tension started. I was in front of the Head girl, Monna is in front of the library prefect and also the lab prefect, Konna is in front of the social prefect, Amil was in front of the sports prefect and then Xavier is in front of the Head boy himself. They all stared at us like we were challenging them, we were supposed to be afraid on a normal but we were secretly having a laugh inside because we had already predicted all of this.
*Two days earlier*
“Now we all know that all there is to this meeting is to rub minds but they will not at first agree to that, they know we are the so called highlights that are not on their leash, they have been in this the a year before we came so they are supposed to be here but they were not intellectually capable and we were so they will try to test us, now In my opinion they will pick whom to face I will probably face the head boy and I think amil will face the sports prefect, this is based on well I will say the ranks that they gave themselves amongst their group but at the same time they will like to relate to whom is well kind of like them, like for me I am seen as the head of us so the head boy will face me and why I will choose the sport prefect and amil is because he actually likes sports, though music is related to the society, so Is art so sports will take amil because he was the last to pick or because he was chosen by the head boy.” Xavier said.
“so if I will take a guess I will be chosen by either the library or the head girl, I don’t know for certain who will pick me but the probability of being chosen by the head girl is quite stale because we have rarely anything in common on like the library, we have a but loads of things in common, I love reading and so does she, she scores close to me after all, so I will pick her but she will also want to meet amil because amil is one person who is good at a science subject so, no wait, I think I am the best match for her, where there is a hiccup is social and sports because I wonder whom they will choose, so the only tie here is the social because art is part of the society and so is music.” Monna said.
“Well in my opinion I think it will be Konna, everyone sees how he dresses and how he carries himself, he will probably be picked by the social and that will be because he looks sophisticated and amil well looks the same but not like Konna, amil dresses and acts sophisticated when it has to do with music. While Konna well, its part of his pizazz.” I said. Then they all looked at me like I had cracked a code or like I just quoted the krabby patty formula and plankton was in the room. 
“that’s true so that means amil will be picked by the sport prefect and that is settled.” Xavier said.
“So now can we predict what we will say to each other? Or is that all the plan? to know who will pick us and all?” Amil said.
“Well, I can’t say that but I will say we can debate that after we have met them and after reading the report.” Xavier added.
Now we are here and the tension is high, not somewhat or somehow the tension is really high and I am lowkey freaking out but I am alright after all I have been given a cheat code to pass through emotions like this.
*Present Day.*
“Xavier I am the prefect like you already know and they are the prefects of the school you already know our names and our functions but we will like to welcome you with a shake until we meet again.” He said as they all stretched their hands out in some sort of sync. They all then smiled but I was mostly focused on who was in front of me she had a calm smile and she had an unyielding expression and I had an unhinged expression to go with hers.
*Two days ago* 
“Well you know you will be picked by the head girl right?” Konna said.
“wait huh.” I replied in shock and surprise.
“l mean it is even obvious, why will she not pick you? You are like the best person for her she has nonyielding look and you mostly look unhinged like you are not bothered by anything.” Xavier said.
“wait, huh, oh, uh, well I really don’t think I can even do that, I don’t think I can even talk to her, you guys know me not to talk too much and all but it’s not because I am so quiet I don’t like to utter a word but it all because I am basically shy and I am anxious of my reply, I mostly don’t know what to say truth be told, I am just there and I have nothing if you really ask me, If you ask me a question, I will only agree or something, yes sometimes I think aloud and talk but I don’t know how I do it so, I am sorry guys, I don’t know how this is going to sound for you all and all.” I said, flustered and looking down. 
“oh, we knew about all of that I mean it was kind of obvious.” Konna said.
“amil kind of said it may be hard for you to face the crowd but we couldn’t do it without you so we have to add you in.” Monna said.
“You are our wild card you know that right, we all have a name for our talents and your talent is that you are a good all-rounder a well skilled all-rounder so don’t worry, it won’t be hard for you.” Xavier said.
“Wildcard? Me? I am, wait is that my name, is that me, the wildcard.” I said with excitement in my voice as my eyes glistened, I had forgotten about all of these things, I have forgotten about everything and how these guys even have names, the English breed, the organist, the creative, the mathematical genius and me the wildcard. It had a nice ring to it.
“yes that’s it, we have decided on that before we even invited you here and honestly that’s the best name, you are creative, smart and still intelligent, you are a wildcard and that’s your nature, you are the one they actually have little info on unlike us. We are sorry for not bringing this to light sooner” Monna said. 
“oh, it’s no problem, I don’t actually mind, its no problem at all, in fact I am just happy to know about this.” I said as I smiled.
“so you may wonder how you are going to do it, do not fret, do not worry, do not stress just know as they look at your eyes with intensive and intimidating eyes, you are ready for them too, they look at you because they know you as the wild card not Aella, so do not worry, bury your anxiety with the pride of being one of us and remember they are just seniors they cannot come close to us in intellectual properties, for in that aspect we are superior, we are giants, we are mighty.” Xavier said, as our heart lightened up and our hands started to jam together to give an applaud, there is a reason he is the leader and that is because of his formidable mind, once my brother came home and he said to me.
“There is someone you will meet, he is in your class but he has the potential to be the best in that school, I am only good but he can and will be better, in fact the only reason he has not taken the title of the best student is because he likes me and he looks up to me.” He said before he went to school.
*Present day. *
This was war for as we shook our hands, we looked in our eyes and we could feel our own senses awaken because of the challenge that we had in front of us as Boys and Girls.
“Alright everyone, we would do a briefing for two days, feel free to talk to each other and feel free to get to know each other, after all we will be walking with them and talking with them for a while.” The head boy said. As we both shook our hands, she then asked me a question.
“What is your name?” she asked me.
“My name? I know you know my name; you guys are the seniors and I am very sure you have record of me oh head girl or should I say SARAH” I said as I let down a calm smile and as I relaxed my eye brows even more.
“uuuu, Aella is a scary girl.” She said letting out a big smile.
“Yeah, I am sure I chose the right person, anyways I am SARAH like you know, feel free to call me that and please don’t forget the senior.” She said as she slightly lifted up her eye brows in disgust.
“Oh, I won’t, Head girl.” I replied her as I let out a fake smile and wore a relaxed face.
“Oh, I would so love to break this one.” She whispered as she walked out of the class. 
I know what I said, I did nothing wrong and funny enough I worry not, in fact I worry not about what she would say, instead I was lit up and challenged by her reply. She does not know me in totality and I will make her understand who I am.
*yesterday.*
“Hey Albert, I have a meeting with the seniors tomorrow, I am even kind of scared to be honest, I really don’t know how to talk with people, I find it hard to relate.” I said explaining what was on my mind to him since he has asked me since we started the call 10 minutes ago.
“Oh, you mean my juniors, oh they are cool in a way, but I don’t think it’s the cool ones that were nominated to be the leaders so I don’t really know whom you are scared of.” He replied me.
“No, I am not scared of anyone, I am scared of just interacting, you know its hard for me.” I said trying to explain better.
“Know this Aella, you only need to talk to her or him when It’s compulsory, they are not your friends and you are not going there to play be my friend, you are literally going there because it’s your duty.” He said to me.
“Hmm.” I replied with worry over the phone.
“Oh, come on don’t worry, you are going to be okay, you should be, you have your band by your side, you literally have your friends and they will try to back you up in any way.” He said as I shut half of all that made me worry up.
“Well, I guess you are right, I will listen to you and I will worry less.” I said as i slowly stopped to worry until he said.
“Well, you will still meet some problematic people, like Sarah, she is kind of well I can’t explain it, I will say I can’t really put my hand on her behavioral pattern but she has records of being troublesome, soon you will find out.” He said.
“She is prideful and she always has a motive, she has records or disgracing people and lying and so on, she just mostly behaves like she is the realest, its stupid and all till you see it first-hand.” He said and left me in the dark after that. I should have been worried and all but where he got me was.
“oh and she is actually fake to be honest, she is just good at acting, she catching everyone slipping but no one catches her slipping.” He said, that one got me and that is when I said.
“oh, oh, I get it, I will be the one to first do it then, I will be the one to expose her if she tries any rubbish against us.” I said to him.
“uu, we are getting feisty Aella, but seriously, be careful, you shouldn’t find trouble when there isn’t one.” He said.
“You know I have no time for that, I am literally too busy but my warning stands, I will not backdown especially when I am tested to the extent I feel at the edge.” I replied him.
“well I guess its your choice, keep me updated.” He said as we changed the topic.
Sarah, oh Sarah , I have seen you and indeed all I see is ugly and trust me I am no pet of your devices I will not be broken not by the likes of you.
