It all started on a cloudy Monday morning in Lagos. The sky looked like boiled beans — gray, lumpy, and full of thunder. Most students of Elikem International High School were dragging their feet to morning assembly, still half-asleep and chewing Gala sausage rolls.
But not Timi.
Timi "Ti-Magic" Adebayo, the class clown of SS2A, was wide awake. He'd just come back from a week-long suspension for turning Principal Okonkwo's office chair into a live goat (don't ask how — even he doesn't know). Now he stood proudly in his crooked school sandals, armed with his fake Gucci backpack and a plan to prank his maths teacher.
"Today, I'm turning Mr. Shagaya's bald head into a disco ball," Timi whispered to his best friend, Emeka, who only blinked in confusion and whispered back, "Omo, just don't involve me this time, abeg."
Before he could sneak into the staffroom, the whole school froze. Not from fear. From literal cold. A sudden wind whooshed across the assembly ground. The school bell rang by itself, spinning in the air like a possessed fidget spinner.
Then came the voice.
"Please welcome our new transfer student… from Ilé Ifẹ́ School of Wizardry."
Everyone turned.
Walking down the corridor was a girl in a perfectly ironed school uniform, carrying a glowing purple backpack. Her braids sparkled with stardust. Her left eye was normal — brown like maltina. But her right eye… oh boy. That one glowed blue like NEPA light on a good day.
Her name? Zina Olawunmi.
Her goal? To become Queen of the School.
Her secret? She was a half-witch, half-human — sent to Elikem to protect a hidden magical artifact... buried somewhere under the JSS3 boys' toilet.
Timi's mouth hung open. "Abeg, who be this glowing babe? She wan collect my crown as the mad person of this school?"
From that day forward, the war began.
A prankster vs a witch.
Spells vs Skits.
School bell vs Magic wand.
And somewhere in between — romance, juju, and WAEC questions that even the spirits couldn't answer.
