The weekend was well spent so we had to go back to school since it's our last year in high school and the Uganda National Exams are very crucial to every student because the points obtained play a significant role in determining your future especially when you're gonna pursue higher education at the University.
When you get lower points, very few higher institutions will accept such a student and at the end. For example at Makerere university the points are quite high because of its reputation as the number one institute in Uganda with the highest level of graduating students with first class degrees. It has also made it to the top as the black university globally thanks to the selfless professors.
At the senior six block.
The Dean Of Studies made all the senior six students to stand outside the classes with an angry gaze ever since the news of the top student reached his eyes that he took the gun and the bullets in the examination hall. The teachers who were in the staffroom marking the stripes of examinations from the previous sets were left shocked due to this development. The DOS right away called for an emergency meeting in which various teachers came up with a suitable punishment for all cheating students. They couldn't expell them since it was a month away from the final exams. Apart from calling the parents,the students had to receive five stokes from every teacher plus writing an apology.
Lining up in different lines,all the students crying silent because Erica had really awakened the sleeping dog that had taken long without barking. Can you imagine being beaten as an adult? Most teachers showed disappointment in this year's class because they had showed great potential in excelling with good points but they couldn't allow the reputation they had built pain stakingly to be dragged down . The girls cried bitterly but the boys just laid down, received their punishments and went back to the class with glommy faces. However they held the grudge against Erica who caused all this mess.
Sobs,sobs, the girls kept weeping until their eyes turned puffy but it was only Annabelle who didn't shed a single tear .The boys never thought that she could be so tough like men.
"Guys next week there's a seminar at kings college Buddo for the science students,the entrance fee plus transport is fifty thousand shillings". The class monitor announced giving out forms.
" it's a shame that the rewards always went to someone who wasn't even an academic giant,the parents will truly be disappointed,hee do you know he used to swag around undermining those with very few points ". The group of girls at the last desk said mocking Erica who always sat on the front seat. His head was down and he was ashamed to even talk with his fellow classmates.
" Jovy and your group stop whatever you're saying,just utilize this time and read your books cause it's only one month away from the finals". Annabelle said looking annoyed with the way these girls talked about Erica, though he did something despicable it didn't mean to continue rubbing salt in the already bleeding wound.
Jumping from her sit Jovy stood Infront of Annabelle cursing, " you good for nothing nameless ghetto kid, don't ever give me advice on what I should do, even if I don't pass my parents call the shots so keep your damn advice to those who are in the same situation as you, Ohh even those ghetto areas stink so mind your own business ". Jovy bumped her shoulder to Annabelle's and went her way. The surprising thing is that Annabelle didn't lose her cool and stayed silent until Jovy finished cursing her. This wasn't new to her but she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to her mom who was already hustlering to raise them and bring food to the table. Opening her note book she flipped the pages and started reading her notes as if nothing has happened at all.
After two hours,the bell for breakfast rung and Priccy entered the classroom cause she wasn't aware of Jovy's trouble to her bestie,if she was around she wouldn't allow anyone to talk about their background cause different stars have emerged as ghetto stars like Jay-Z who rose from the streets to center stage, against all odds Oprah Winfrey,rising from the ashes 50 cent, queen of the area aka sheebah kalungi,Anna kansiime and Eddy kenzo who's sitya loss song brought sensation not only in Uganda but also globally bringing various awards home. We should never judge and criticize people because of their backgrounds. Priccy nudged her friend to indicate that it was break time. Annabelle packed her bag and left with Priccy in tow . Sitting in their usual place, Priccy noticed her friend's silence and went to the canteen to get the snacks. Jovy's confrontation towards Annabelle was the talk of town as different girls in groups talked about it wondering Jovy's behavior and her way of judgement towards students who came from the ghettos. Priccy listened intently and walked in large strides to question Jovy.
At the girls' bathroom.
Touching her makeup, Jovy with her small gang laughed at way Annabelle behaved like an obedient dog. Paa ,paa, suddenly the sound of someone slapping was heard. Priccy slapped Jovy several times before calming down. Clutching her swollen face like that of a pig, Jovy wanted to return the favor but she wasn't a match to priccy who was steady. "Don't ever dare to even think about insulting my friend,if your parents had money what's the need to attend school,I really pity them for raising such a useless bitch who just knows how to seduce teachers". Every one was shocked cause they never thought that priccy could get hold of Jovy's little secret.
" I don't know what you're talking about, don't spite nonsense". Jovy said with panic noticeable in her words. " You know it in your heart whether am lying or not but don't ever insult my friend or else you will face it rough". Priccy warned before leaving.
Jovy's friends looked at her with disgust wondering how a rich man's daughter could stoop so low to seduce teachers who are already married with the risk of having HIV. Jovy just stared blankly as the so good friends left without looking back. She thought in her mind, " I always stayed behind hopuyno body to see me,but I never thought that priccy that bitch could find out".
Annabelle waited patiently wondering what made priccy to take long to come back. As she was getting up, priccy suddenly appeared with drinks and snacks smiling sheepishly. Annabelle looked at her intently and asked ," what have you done?. Priccy narrated the whole scenario but Annabelle just gave her a hug and warning her to never repeat such a thing cause this period is crucial to them, they can't afford to make mistakes. Priccy nodded her head in understanding. As they were eating,Amir approached them requesting for priccy's work book. Priccy blushed handing over the book. Lost in the almost like a dream picturing herself and Amir on a date holding hands and watching a romantic movie at acacia mall, eating KFC at Boulevard,but Annabelle knocked on her head bringing her back to earth. So your wish has come true cause you will be able to interact with Amir . Priccy giggled leaving Annabelle speechless.
"By the way Annabelle, have you ever read about the novel of Garth stein?" Priccy asked with curiosity. " Are you talking about the art of racing in the rain". Annabelle replied. " yes, that's the exact book am talking about, the way he described Enzo the dog as a great companion to humans though using gestures. The book is perfect for anyone who's interested in race cars and the fact that Enzo did a great job in accompanying Eve when Denny wasn't around and during her sick days ". Priccy explained excited. The fact that Enzo was able to detect a virus that made Eve restless .The truth is that Garth stein is a great Author.Priccy continued to praise the book. "I also read novels from webnovel. After reminiscing about their favorite books,they went to the optional room since they didn't have lessons until evening.
In the optional room.
"Girls they're recent news on TikTok celebrities especially Dr cephco who's recently dating Dush a pastor's daughter who escaped from marriage and went with cephco.This left most people stunned because with cephco's behavior of releasing his ex girlfriend's nude pictures and videos made the fans and various people to wonder if this girl was fine in the head . First of all she's beautiful and moreover a pastor's daughter". Angella explained to her friend's who were shocked by these news. " There's a nother issue of baby Gloria the ambassador of movit products who was recently accused of abortion but her mom the legendary gospel singer Betty Nakibuuka held the press conference refuting the news". Agnes filled her friends with another blow of juicy gossip.
