SPMSS '15 AFTER 5

Fri, 07/10/2020 - 17:23 -- deSribe

I remember my first day

Couple of weeks into the new year

The day I first walked in.

 

Lil' shy heavy duty just joined a new community

Recently released from the medical facility

To face new reality back in my city.

 

Back then didn't really care about the 'Senior Hype'

Them dude thought I was withdrawn

They really knew nothing about my psyche.

 

I had just left F.G College Battling with mental health

Left my old community

You don't know how that really felt.

 

A couple months in

I started to blend in

I was half past sixteen (16)

Gradually getting used to the green

I started liking the new color (uniform)

Started to cherish the new aura.

 

I had to adapt to my new class and get used to the new faces while stock lasts.

 

Fast foward into time

Made a couple amigos

Reunited with the old ones

 

I remember walking in into the class for the first time with my face cold like glacier

Was welcomed with a warm smile from Anastasia 🙂

 

Finally felt at home, chilling with them boys from last period to end of break time

We always end up just killing time.

 

Consequence, Sparta my new folks

Chris, Lord Mazard and his crazy jokes.

 

Man pikin gats belong even though we no dey among

The very good bad guys

But las las we go still get the compass.

 

Gradually na so my heart begin the wyn me make I reason her matter

I tell am make en no try me

I no want disappointment from Amaka. 😅

 

“All man don dey date you ma still dey form leap year. No forget say you dey grad this year and everything go end inside here".

 

For biology lab, na so man pikin go dey observe

Like say en dey find treasure for gulder ultimate search. 😎

 

Men dem don dey starch

Teachers don dey shout

"I no follow oh!"

"Auntie, I no follow!"

Na so we go just dey cover each other out. 🤐

 

Big boiz,

We dey bounce come school even though we be running late

Na when time don pass we go dey beg Isiaka, "abeg biko open gate". 😅

 

 

 

WAEC dey for corner

We still dey dance one corner.

 

Revision don start

We still dey carry shopping cart.

 

Las Las all man na copycat

Shout out to my man "Jerry"

You no say we no dey carry last. 😉

 

Geng gen!, exam don come

Men dem still dey form don

Johnbull still dey "on top" his single (song)

Big boiz, we still dey mingle. 😎

 

WAEC finish we enter NECO

Johnny still dey play Lotto 😅

Food don finish for hostel

All man don dey drink Otto. 😁

 

Final paper don reach

Some babes don already bleach

Guys don dey break up

Rumors don dey spread small small

But las las SPMSS no dey snitch. 🤐

 

The graduation ceremony is here

It was a time of laughter and a time of cheer 🎉🍾

Even though I showed up late,

I had the best of times I'd never forget.

 

 

Fast forward into time young aspirants waiting for JAMB admission to our choice institution

Some of us got real lucky at the onset but at the end of the day we all got into higher institution.

 

5 years later I'm sitted here in my room amid the COVID-19 episodes

A new season just began.

 

Some of us graduates, others about to cross the finish line

With the hope the pandemic will be over soon so we can be just in time for the REUNION...
