The driver Afeez struck the steering angrily, the car had been stuck up in traffic for almost an hour and both the driver and Ayo who had a class were frustrated, Damien on the other hand sat unconcerned in the passenger seat listening to music
"Afeez I told you not to follow this route ,there's always traffic "Ayo said trying to suppress his anger
" Sorry oga it's not my fault "Afeez said
"You should have listened when I said you should go on your own ride"Damien said taking off his head phone
"Shut it Damien" Ayo said sternly
"Fine " He said putting his head phone back on
After about an hour they arrived at prestige high school , Damien was wowed it was unlike any of the schools he had ever been to
"Damn" he said half aloud
"I didn't expect this ,mom and dad have really outdone themselves this time around " Ayo said
"Be good " Ayo said as he came down from the car
"I promise okay you're going to be late,bye" he said quickly before rushing off
"Whatever" Ayo said shaking his head
"Why are they all staring" Damien thought as he walked along , great school though I think.....but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted
