The school system is such that after nursery and primary school which is about 8 years you will go to secondary School. The secondary classes are divided into senior and junior and they are 3years each. A national exam is always conducted and compulsory in order to get promotion to SS1 from JS3. It a good system, but malpractice is so common that the whole exam idea is useless. A student that cannot say the multiplication table ended up passing in flying colors. Such is the situation she joined the school.
Jumoke was assigned to teach the SS2 class. Some of the students were to young due to double promotions, the parents thinks she is too brilliant for her normal class and she was moved into the next class and was not able to cope. Her foundation is close to non existent. So Jumoke started from the basic. It was annoying at times, but they improved gradually. One thing about studies us that once you are able to follow in class and understand well, you would be eager to go to school. The parents were so happy their children is happily doing the homework without being forced to.
After the first term she joined the school, the SS2 students were able to beat the SS3 with a large margin. They loved her and the teachers were even jealous of her. When those set got to SS3 they set the best record ever in school. And the teacher has to start over again with the new SS2.
She worked very hard and gets the best teacher award many times. Until a student came. Matthew joined the school mid term, he's much older than the rest of the class. He was repeated several times in his previous school. His parents had him transferred because of the reputation of the school. Has the term continue he got better gradually and faster than the rest. Since he's new he had to meet the young teacher privately and "fell in love" with her. He could not ask her out since he new it is wrong. He chose another way to show his love, he stalks her. He knows all about her phone calls. There are times he would leave home saying the teacher had a project for him. He follows her around, take pictures, sometimes video and paste them on his walls.
Matthew discovered most of her secrets. He knew she had a relationship with the Adeyemo's. He had several pictures of her meeting them. He knows the time she woke up till the time she is asleep. Her jogging routine, and even salon visit. He worked hard on his studies in order to be "worthy" of her.
No one knew, not the teacher nor the parents since he's improving all is well. Until it's time for promotion and he demanded to be repeated because "he's still lacking." The parents were worried, he is more than qualified for the class. But he knows he won't see his obsession anymore. She doesn't even see him privately because he's ahead of his classmates. The school principal had a meeting with the parents, Jumoke and Matthew. He demanded that she is to teach them in SS3. That that is the only for him to keep up his grades.
The mother felt like the teacher is trying to"tie" her son down because he has never been attached to a teacher before. An overly pretty teacher like her is not to be trusted, she is "suitable" to be an 'escort' . She went to her son's room and saw the pictures. She screamed "the slutty teacher has ruined her child." She called the school, took the pictures and the videos to the school. She somehow did some investigation and connected the dots of her being a daughter to the Adeyemo. The teacher was called, and Matthew's mother demand to have her fired. Her background is not morale enough to teach the student, 'who knows what else she tells them to do.' It was ridiculous, your child stalks his teacher and he can end up in juvenile home since the other party is much richer than the whole school.
The principal was trying to tune down the problem, but Matthew's mother met with other parents. 'Do you know that Jumoke is the popular Adeyemo child, her father and mother are siblings.' ' will you leave your child with a person whose mother got pregnant for her own brother?' 'What if she teaches the poor student that it is all normal. Am sure you don't want your sons impregnating their sisters'. That broke the camel back. They protested, they forgot how bad their children academics was before she came to the school. The students tried to defend the poor Jummy but they concluded it has them being manipulated. Anyone who as much as try to reason with them about how good the teacher his ends up being grounded and monitored to erase all her moralless teachings.
Some teachers that were already jealous of her decided it's time to implicate her further. "She makes girls and boys to seat together" they says. She actually did, because in order to get the full attention of the students they had to be paired with a person they don't connect with. It's also a way to match the average student with the brilliant ones. But still with all this reasons the parents still don't care but further emphasize on the fact that her parents were siblings, which is not her fault. The rest of the teachers who is actually friends with her did not want to get "caught" in the chaos.
What about the student that caused this? Matthew defended his love. He said she didn't manipulate him but who cares about reasoning. 'Normal' teenagers fall in love with their agemate, unfortunately their son met a vixen.
She was fired, and the matter was wrapped not so quietly as some media outlets caught some news. They were bribed and made to shut up. But the pain is still with her. No one is to know her parents because no matter how close they are, they still ends up judging her.
