AllStars Foundation College isn't just a school. It's an empire of elite education nestled in the heart of Lagos ๐ณ๐ฌ.
Tall electric gates guarded 24/7 ๐ก๏ธ welcome convoys of Range Rovers, G-Wagons, and tinted sedans ๐๐จ.
The buildings stand sleek and modern with glass panels, gold trimmings, and white marbled walls that glisten under the Lagos sun ๐๐๏ธ. Inside, classrooms are fully air-conditioned โ๏ธ, furnished with smart boards, personal lockers, and touch-screen desks ๐ป๐.
The campus boasts an Olympic-size swimming pool ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ, a rooftop senior lounge ๐, a tech-stacked digital library ๐, and even a students-only mini-mall ๐๏ธ. Palm trees ๐ด line the paved walkways between buildings, giving it that tropical luxury vibe.
The cafeteria is a 5-star restaurant-style zone ๐ฝ๏ธ with digital menus, smoothie bars, and Afro-American meals, all proudly sponsored by Araoluwa's mom's luxury restaurant brand ๐ฅ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ณ.
Surveillance is tight ๐ฅ. Staff wear smart ID tags like they work in Silicon Valley ๐ชช. There's even a helipad ๐ that's rarely used unless a senator's child forgets their iPad ๐๐ฑ.
AllStars isn't just a school. It's a lifestyle ๐ผ๐.
As Araoluwa stepped out of her mom's black Range Rover Velar, dripping elegance ๐งฅ๐ , her mom gave her the usual reminder.
"Ara, be careful. You're a prefect now ๐๐พ. Don't be doing anyhow. People are watching you, you're an ambassador, shogbo?" ๐๐ฌ
"Yes, ma," Ara replied, already bracing for more ๐.
"Your new phone is in my room ๐ฒ, password 9291. Just the phone, no gold should go missing o. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon,take care of yourself with Mama Bode at home, Greet Principal Lawrence for me also. Bye-bye."
Ara laughed lightly ๐ , waved ๐๐ฝ, and dashed off toward the assembly gate ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐.
"Here comes our late baddie," Big Dave announced with a smirk ๐.
Balogun David, also known as Big Dave ๐งฅ๐, the Senior Prefect of AllStars. Son of a senator from Ogun State ๐๏ธ and the school's principal. Responsible, charismatic, and chatty when he wants to be.
Power. Brains. Swagger. All in one soul ๐ฅ.
"Oh please, what are you now, the gatekeeper? I'm just six minutes late," Ara said with her classic I-don't-care baddie grin ๐๐ ๐พ.
"Six minutes is too late, Madam Female Labor Prefect," he replied. "You're supposed to be the first on duty with Oscar. These soft-girl vibes won't help you. It's the first day!" ๐คจ๐
"I'm sorry, Dave... I'll do better. Still adjusting." ๐ฅบ๐๐พ
"Drop your bag and meet us at the gate." He walked off, manning his post like a prince on duty ๐ถ๏ธ.
Ara sighed, dropped her Dior bag ๐, fixed her collar, and strutted to the gate, ready to begin her first official prefect duty ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฝโโ๏ธ.
"Hi," Oscar, the Lead Labor Prefect, greeted.
Ara didn't respond, just gave a soft scoff. She wasn't the talky type.
Oscar ignored the attitude and continued, "Here's what we'll do. You'll lead the girls inside, but first inspect their bags."
"Is it really necessary?" she asked, folding her arms. "If so, I should be the first person punished." Her tone was calm, but her eyes said she didn't care.
Oscar sighed deeply. "Only God knows how you were elected Labor Prefect. Just shut your mouth and lead the girls in." His voice carried a hint of irritation; she had clearly tested his patience.
Ara gave a surprised scoff and walked off toward the inspection point.
There, she started inspecting students' bags, reluctantly but with that same quiet confidence that made Araoluwa, AraBaddie ๐.
