Some other teachers came to my class, I remember corper zainab, mathematics teacher, she asks me many question, I answered correctly, she compliment, and ask me to see her in her office at break time.
At break time, a girl. Whose name is benita came to my seat.
Benita: tolu

Benita: let’s go to the cafeteria to get something to eat
Me: thanks, but am not interested.
Benita: what!!!!
