( It’s Out )
“Aren’t you going to answer me! Why the hell are you here, dressed like that?” Sharon demanded.
Andrea didn’t get to give a reply because Anthony chose that moment to show up.
“And what on earth is a girl doing in a boys dormitory?” Anthony demanded, coming to stand beside Andrea.
“Boys dorm and is that thing also staying here?” Sharon ask, referring to Andrea.
“That thing as you call him have a name and it’s Andrew and he’s living in the dorm with us. If you don’t mind, can you take your rude Ɓîtçhy self out of this room, people like you aren’t welcome here” Anthony said, defending Andrea.
“If am leaving then he gets to leave too. Are you that blind as to see that this is a…” She didn’t get to finish her sentence because Aaron walk.
“Come with me” he said, pulling her roughly out of the room.
“What just happen? Who the hell is that Ɓîtçhy thing?” Anthony ask but Andrea couldn’t even give a reply.
*****
“Let go! You are hurting me” Sharon said pulling her hand out of Aaron’s.
“Why the hell did you return to the room? Why did you even come see me!” He yell at her.
“Why? Are you angry of my presence or are you angry that I found out about that girl secret?” Sharon yelled at him.
“To think that I only went back to take my bag. I can’t believe the audacity, the school authority is going to hear about this” Sharon added, headed for the principal office but Aaron stood in front of her.
“Must you really do this?”
“I must. Am doing it for you and for my peace of mind, I don’t want that girl close to you, I don’t…”
“What can I do to stop you from meeting with the principal?” Aaron ask, cutting her off.
“There’s nothing you can do. Once I make up my mind on something, there’s no turning back” Sharon said, walking past him but he pulled her back and gave her a kiss.
“Will this do?” Aaron ask, ending the brief kiss and Sharon smiled in return.

<< EVENING >>
Andrea got back to the dorm very late in the evening. She had even miss curfew and had gotten a demerit for her absence.
“Where have you been? You know you are suppose to be back before curfew?” Anthony demanded the moment she walk in.
“Am sorry. I took a walk and lost track of time” Andrea replied.
“What’s going on? Ever since that witch’s visit, you and Aaron have been acting weird, did something happen? You can confide In me” Anthony said.
“I….it’s nothing Anthony. Where is Aaron?” Andrea ask.
“In the room “
“Am going in for the night then, good night” Andrea said, forcing a smile on her face before going in.
Aaron was already on the bed, his back turn on her.
She stood hesitantly at the door way before finally deciding to speak.
“Aaron, I have been thinking about things and …”
“Go to sleep. It’s late, we need to be up early for class tomorrow” Aaron said, cutting her off.
Taking that as his reply, she went to change in the bathroom and went to sleep.

<< NEXT DAY ~ AFTER CLASS >>
Anthony and Andrea return to the dorm, after hours of trying to make her laugh, Anthony finally succeeded when he said something Ɓîtçhy about Sharon.
Andrea couldn’t help but to laugh but as soon as she walk into their dorm, her smile vanish the moment she saw Sharon in their dorm.
Judging by the princess like uniform she had on, Andrea could tell that as soon as she left school, she came straight to their dorm.
“You again! Why are you here and who keeps letting you in?” Anthony demanded.
“Just a very special someone and it’s time you get use to seeing me here cause I will be visiting frequently” Sharon replied.
“Says who?”
“Says my boyfriend. Judging from the looks on your face, Aaron haven’t told you about it” Sharon said, please that she will be the one giving them the news.
“Well, Aaron ask me out yesterday and I said yes. Am his girlfriend and he’s my boyfriend, I hope you keep that straight into your head and stay away from him” Sharon said, starring at Andrea.
“Why do I find that hard to believe?” Anthony said as Aaron came into the dorm.
“Why not ask him yourself?” A smiling Sharon said as they all turn to Aaron.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come here again?” Aaron ask.
“Why? Don’t you know I miss you already?” Sharon said, holding onto his arm but he shook her off.
“Are you really dating this girl?” Anthony ask.
“Yes. Am dating Sharon. Let’s go” he said leaving the dorm in his uniform while Sharon followed suit.
“I just can’t believe that he will settle for a girl like that! There’s something odd about it” Anthony said suspiciously.
“There is and it’s my fault” Andrea spoke for the first time ever since they got to the dorm.
“Your fault? How come?”
“You won’t understand. I need to leave, I will try to be back before curfew and if am not then am with Opal” she told him, so he won’t be worried about her.

<< EVENING~ WINTERS MANSION ~ OPAL ROOM >>
“You poor thing. I knew things like this will happen but I never expected it to be this soon” Opal said as she handed her a cup of coffee.
“Am not worried about me. Am more worried about Aaron, he’s in a tight spot because of me” Andrea said.
“That’s true. Am sure that witch blackmail him, she must have told him to date her in order for her to keep shut about your secret ” Opal said.
“I doubt that. Aaron must have been the one to agree to date her just to protect me and thinking about it, makes me feel bad” Andrea said.
“Why don’t you try to get some rest. I can see the strain in your eyes and don’t you dare refuse, you need to rest. Let’s forget about Aaron, Sharon and sunshine high for a while. Who knows, something might turn in your favour when you wake up tomorrow” Opal said, fussing over her like a mother hen.
It wasn’t until Andrea had close her to doze off that Opal thought of the issue on ground.
Will everything be okay if she keeps on attending sunshine high…Opal thought as she also went to bed.
It was in the wee hours of the morning that a sleeping Andrea woke up to Opal scream.
“What’s wrong? Are we being burgle?” Andrea ask, prepared to fight whoever it is.
“No. We aren’t being burgled but you’ve got to see this” Opal said, showing her something on her phone.
“Are they for real?” Andrea ask.
“I double check and cross check. I did every check in this world and it’s true. It really is happening” Opal said as they both scream in excitement.
“We better get ready or we will be late since they are only accepting few people” Opal said as they began to get dress.

<< SUNSHINE HIGH ~ BOYS DORM >>
“Why the hell isn’t he picking my calls? Does he intend to miss class today?” Aaron muttered, starring at his phone repeatedly while wondering where Andrea is.
“Andrew is with Opal ” Anthony inform, drinking his glass of milk.
“How do you know that?”
“When you went off to your super duper date with that Shark, I mean with Sharon. He told me, he is going over to Opal place” Anthony said.
Aaron pick up his phone to make a call but at that moment, he receive a text from Andrea.
★ AM CURRENTLY IN SCHOOL. CAN YOU COME MEET ME AT THE REGISTRATION OFFICE, IT’S IMPORTANT ★ the message read.
“By the way have you seen the school new notice, it says that….where are you going?” Anthony ask but Aaron was already out of the room.
*****
He got to the registration office to see a crowd of girls there and each had a form in hand.
He ignored the looks being given by other girls, his eyes searching for Andrea amongst the crowd.
“Aaron” Andrea call from behind and immediately he turn to see her dress in feminine outfit.
Gone was the wig and male clothe to be replace with a figure hugging green gown which she top with a black jacket.
“What are you wearing and what’s going on?” Aaron demanded.
“Seems like you haven’t seen the school announcement yet” she said as he quickly pull out his phone to go through the school page.
“They are enrolling female students back to school” Aaron said.
“Which mean that I don’t have to pretend to be a boy anymore. Initially, I wanted to attend Sunshine high as a girl but when it became an all boys school, I had no choice but to pretend and now it’s back to being a mixed school. Isn’t that great?” Andrea ask excitedly but Aaron didn’t share her sentiment.
“So, you decided to enroll and attend school as a girl. You didn’t even bother to tell me, its like my opinion doesn’t matter to you” Aaron said.
“It does. Your opinion matters a lot to me and shouldn’t you be happy that I can go back to being a girl? There won’t be secrets to keep and you don’t have to force yourself to be with Sharon for my sake” Andrea said.
“How did you know that? Did Sharon tell you?”
“She didn’t have to and I am not that dumb. I know you don’t like her ” Andrea reply.
“Then if you know me that well like you claim just now, you should also know that am not happy with this decision of yours. I don’t want you leaving the dorm, I don’t want you attending sunshine high as a girl and most importantly, I don’t want to be apart from you ” Aaron said, shocking her into silence.
“What are you guys doing here? This registration is only for female students, I want all the boys here to leave” A teacher said.
Aaron didn’t want to leave at first but he had no choice.
While the registration went on, Andrea kept thinking about the conversation she had with Aaron and even after submitting the form and they were on their way out of school, Andrea kept thinking about Aaron.
“I need to use the restroom” Opal said, heading to the rest room.
“What the hell are you doing here!” Sharon demanded the moment she saw Andrea.
“What do you think? Am enrolling of course”
“Enrolling? I can’t believe the nerve. after pretending to be a boy, you now want to be girl”
“I am a girl initially and I had to lie my way in for some personal reasons which is none of your business but as the Lord will have it, this opportunity came and here I am. You came to enroll, right. Then you better hurry cause it will end soon” Andrea said walking past her but Sharon stop her by saying.
“You think enrolling into sunshine high as a girl will be easy right? Then you are in for a surprise”
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“Apart from the enrollment and the fees and other things. There’s another thing all recruits must do before they make them a student of sunshine high” Sharon began.
“Sport. You need to be good in at least one sport for you to be enrolled and you will be tested, like it’s going to be a match and all students must participate or they are dropped out ” She added.
“Am good in gymnastics and am certainly going to wow the teachers with my performance but I doubt if you are good In anything….oh, you are good in something and that’s by pretending to be a boy”
“Take my advice and quit now since you won’t be able to get in anyway” Sharon said turning to leave.
“And if I do get in? What are you going to do?” Andrea ask, walking towards Sharon.
“I suggest you seat back and watch how I get accepted into sunshine high for girls. It’s going to be a sweet victory” Andrea added, smiling sweetly at Sharon before walking off….
