Episode 1
Mr Anuma was known to be a
teacher that
explore students with grammars
and good
discipline. He had an average
height with a
big stomach. On his head was no
hair and
his shoes had no comparison. He
stood in
front of his office spacing out with
his
hands in his pocket. He wore a big
brown
trouser and a long sleeve shirt
which he
tocked in. There were flowers in
front of the
office giving it a perfect beauty.
Students
hung around at different angles of
the
school premises, though they
appeared in
Mr Anuma’s eyes but he wasn’t
seeing any
of them because he was lost in
thought. But
he suddenly realised himself to the
voice of
a familiar student who greeted
him. He
turned and looked at him.
“Wisdom!” he called and adjusted
his
eyeglass.
Wisdom wore a correct uniform of
white
and green. He never hesitated to
tock-in
properly and combed his hair. He
had an
attractive complexion which drives
girls
crazy making them to have
fantasies about
him before going to bed each
night.
“Morning, Sir” he greeted Mr Anuma
again
smiling seriously.
“You look absolutely exquisite in
your
uniform”
Wisdom scratched his head for the
unexpected grammar.
“You know what, Wisdom?” Mr
Anuma
continued. “I don’t want you to
expostulate
on the obstreperous students
disturbing
this school this morning because
that
shows you’ve deviated from your
responsibilities”
“Thank you, Sir”
“No, the response isn’t efficacious.
You
should be apologizing”
“Oh, I’m sorry sir”
“You may go, now”
Wisdom smiled out after
apologizing for
what he didn’t know about.
” let me carry my problem come
greet this
man this morning. I was just
passing by
Now he has finished me with
grammar” he
thought in English as he
walked
towards the junior section.
He could see students doing their
morning
duties and other senior students
like him
hanging around with their friends-
male and
female. Many admired and greeted
him,
especially Jennifer who had been
looking for
a way to capture his heart. She was
with her
two friends, Calista and Melody
under a palm
tree discussing about their previous
holidays. They were on a green
skirt and
white long sleeve shirts. They
plaited their
hair which fell on one side of their
cheek.
Anybody who sees them will think
they are
sister due to how they relate with
one
another.
Melody could see how lustfully
Jennifer was
staring at Wisdom.
“O-girl take it easy!” she
exclaimed.
“Don’t mind her, she behaves as if
she
hasn’t seen a boy before” Calista
added
before Jennifer turned to them.
“You won’t understand how i feel
whenever
i see him” she said with a low voice
and her
friends stared at her.
“How i wish he feels the same way
for me”
she added.
“Come on, girl! You can’t strip
yourself so
low to him” Melody said.
“I’m ready to ask him out”
“Jeez!” Calista exclaimed. “Don’t
even try
such a thing!”
“But i love him!”
“Love is blind!” Melody
shouted angrily
and dragged a palm leave down.
She began
to plug them off one after the
other.
Jennifer still wanted to pour out
her feelings
but the sound of the bell put back
the words
into her mouth.
“Hey, go to the assembly ground!”
Wisdom’s
voice echoed from a distance…
*
Mrs Desmond, Tochi’s mother was
at the
backyard of her local house
draining water
from a drum when Tochi came out.
She
wore oversize skirt and a black top
without
a bra. Her b****t dangled when she
jumped
down the stairs. Her hair was
unkept and on
her feet were bathroom slippers.
She looks
beautiful but her dirt
overshadowed her
beauty.
“Good morning, mama” she began
to
scratch her b**t.
The mother brought out her head
from the
drum and turned.
“Tochukwu!”
“Mama”
“I thought you have gone to
school. I have
already talked to the principal and
he said
you can start school”
“You mean Winners International
school?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, mama!” she rejoiced and
rushed into
the bathroom.
*
Student gathered on the assembly
ground.
They sang and prayed waiting for
the
principal to come and addressed
them. But
before then, the senior prefect,
Wisdom
climbed up looking charming.
Jennifer’s
heart melted into her stomach.
“Hey!” Mr Anuma shouted at a
student from
a distance and all their
concentration went
there expecting to hear the next
grammar
that will come out from his mouth.
“Your voluminous skirt should be
weeny.
Then after your punishment, you
explain to
me unequivocally why it is so!” he
completed and all the students on
the
assembly ground laughed. Even
Wisdom
couldn’t help it.
“Silence please” he said and all
attention was
given to him.
He continued, “As we wait for the
principal
to come up, i will like to use this
opportunity
to welcome you back to a new
term…”
“Welcome too!!” Jennifer
interrupted from
the crowd.
“Thank, you” Wisdom smiled at her
and she
gave him an attractive wink. Of
course she
was good looking and beautiful to
be
admired
