Ruby's POV
Midterms were in a few days and I was honestly falling apart, I don't know what to do and I could barely not let my mind wander off.
After the termination of George's services at the school, I had nowhere else to run to, there was currently no one to get me the questions and answers to the exams I was going to partake in.
How on earth was I going to pass?
I definitely couldn't let my grades fall this term, it would arouse suspicion in my parents and even amongst my teachers at school. I need to find a replacement for George as soon as possible.
I just didn't know whic-
Mr Leye walked past me immediately.
Bingo!
I'd use the 'do as I say' packaged for him, I didn't want a sexual relations within us, no intimacy with him this wave around.
I heaved a sigh of relief, with a small smile. I'd come prepare
The after school WAEC lesson had commenced beginning from the day after tomorrow,we'd start off with the past questions. I was happy about learning more and I knew I'd try all my possible best to ace my finals.My mum and dad didn't make their senior school leaving certificate exams at first trial but I was definitely not going to join the cycle. I was in fact, breaking it."Do you know how much WAEC cost when I took mine?" Dad asked."How much?" I smiled at him."It cost eighty five Naira then." He spoke and my mum smiled as she nodded." Guess how much it was when I had to retake?" He raised a brow."Eighty six?" I teased." One hundred and five naira?" He bragged." Can I get two please?" I joked as I slip a two hundred Naira note of my pocket and we laughed." Wh
The time table had a slight change for the sake of the ss3 students. The hours of 11am to 1pm were for us to register for the upcoming JAMB exams and we were to accomplish that at various registration centres across the country. It was a matter of choice.I and my cousins chose a registration centre that was not too distant from the school. Aunty picked us up at eleven on the dot as she already had Rose in the car. We arrived at the centre in no time."Who's going first?" Aunty asked and I agreed to while my cousins watched."University of first choice?" The registrar inquired and I answered." Preferred course of study?" He asked and I responded."Second choice?" He inquired again and I , responded, it went on and on.In the end I had my options filled in for the university of first, second and third choice universities, a polytechnic and a college of education.It
The day of the Christmas party was long gone but the embarrassment still hadn't worn off my mind and thus, I didn't even try to have a face-to-face with the male of the Coker twins. Stacy had gone home for the holidays while Mama and Calista were around."It's time to vote o." Calista was all smiles as she called out to Aunty, Uncle and the kids, well all except me so I just watched them all from my seat at the living room. I chose to step out of my 'cave' today.Mama and Calista at this point were basically Bonnita and Claudia, a more feminine version of Bonnie and Clyde.The Peters family were gathered around the dining table with ten taste samples of peppersoup. They were the size of shot glasses."Okay, so you vote for the one you like better, soup a or soup b." Mama explained.They were two taste 'shots' for each 'judge' and they began. Shot A first."Hmm, this is lit.
That back to school giddyness and butterflies settled at the pit of my stomach ready to explode any moment from now. It just needs a trigger.I smiled proudly as we sang the school's anthem and it came to mind that these were going to be my last few months of singing this anthem in this uniform, inside the four walls of this compound and with this same set of people."Marching song." Mrs Laura referred to the choir prefects after her announcements and lecture on the LGBTQ movement and how fast it was spreading amongst school seniors and how it wouldn't be condoned in Belleview.The Jss1 students were newly admitted and couldn't get enough of themselves. I could understand their butterflies, new uniforms, status, compound. These kids were just a bunch of smiles and adorable faces.They had no idea of the kind of stress that awaited them.Welcome to StressView kids, this is your female SP sp
Rose's POV"I'm going to be patient enough for you to tell me exactly what the hell is going on!" Mum tried to keep her cool but couldn't control the tone of her voice in the last few words."Mum I can explain." I assured."Start explaining it then Rose, explaining why the empty box of a test kit is laying carelessly on your bed is one hurdle and then the outcome of the test is a bigger one so I'd suggest you start now!" She seethed." Start explaining." She fumed as she paced around my room." Mummy, I, erm...ummm... I." I stuttered and a slap had me halfway across my room already and I couldn't even sob.There was no need crying, I'd brought this upon myself."Would you speak now or you need another?" She threatened and I narrated the ordeal to her."I'm so disappointed in you and you better not have any form of life growing insid
“I actually never knew you were this romantic.” Uncle said to Aunty.“What are you talking about?” She smiled at him.“It’s beautiful, I love it very much. Thank you darling.” he kissed her cheeks.“What do you love?” Aunty was confused.“The letter now.” Uncle smiled.“What letter?” She was even more confused than before.“I didn’t leave any letter...” Aunty trailed off.“But...I found it in... the upstairs drawer.” Uncle smiled slowly dropped as he held up the letter for Aunty to see he wasn’t lying about it.“Well...what kind of letter is it?” Aunty asked, I was also curious.“Actually, it’s a love letter.” Uncle blushed.“Who still writes love letters? We aren’t hormonal teenagers anymore and also, how did it end up in the drawer?” Aunty was bewildered.“I honestly don’t know.” He raised his two
"All seniors taking the SSCE exams should endeavor to move their desks and seat to the hall and Mr Leye would see to it that you're seated accordingly." Mrs Laura announced through the address system and immediately we started moving our desks to the school hall.Mr Leye called out our names alphabetically and we arranged the desks in that manner.Everyone was nostalgic about the forthcoming exams.***The long awaited monster had reared its head finally. It was time for waec and the nervousness in the seniors could be sensed from a whole mile away.The pressure was getting towards us all and this week was the handing over ceremony for the management's newly inaugurated prefects. This event was held in the hall."I feel so proud." I smiled at Aisha."The time has come for our seniors to face a bigger r
Slowly but surely, the WAEC exams rolled by, leaving us with just NECO and lighter spirits. It was set to hold in a few weeks time.I was enjoying a peaceful evening with Stacy at the dining area, playing a game of ludo and I was definitely beating her at it.“Six six! Two siki!” I cheered over the outcome of the rolled dice.“Be using ojoro.” She was taking my win hardly.The house phone rang, interrupting my counting process. It was absurd, it barely rang. It’d only heard it ring just twice since I moved into this residence and hearing it’s rung resound in the entire ground floor was enough to realize something was most definitely up.I shared a look with Stacy before advancing towards the phone.“Hello?” I was unsure.“Hello Peters family.” The deep, raspy voice came throug
