Jake, with his luxurious lifestyle and opulent possessions, exuded an air of wealth that caught the attention of everyone around him. His designer clothes, expensive gadgets, and extravagant trips showcased his affluent background effortlessly.
The school halls buzzing with whispers of awe as Jake struts through, his designer clothes catching the light as he passes by. The air tinged with a mix of admiration and envy as students steal glances at his extravagant lifestyle.
During lunchtime the students are seen chattering and cheering up themselves, then suddenly, a loud voice echoed, everyone was so frightened,except one who didn't know who Jake was.
Emmy stood still, wondering why everyone seemed scared, but could not understand what was going on.
Hey "moron!,moron!,''
Is there someone, who has such a name in this school, Emmy wondered as he heard the voice.
He was about to turn to the direction where the voice was coming from but was suddenly hit on his head
He was confused for a while and had to ask Jake why he hit him , he didn't get any from him, although he was angry and couldn't understand why such a thing happened to him, he swallowed all that and wanted to walk away.
Where do you think you are going to?, where did you get your audacity from?, am also a student like you!, Emmy replied in anger, am I not allowed to walk around, and interact with the others?
What makes you think you have freedom here, just because you are on scholarship doesn't guarantee you have such freedom.
You can say all you want, I don't care how you feel about me, you can go on hating me, while I study my books, and always top the class, he replied with a fake smile on his face,
Although he felt bad for what Jake said to him, he tried his best to hide his painful heart
How dare you!?,a nobody like you, talk to me in such a manner.
Do you know who my father is? am sure you don't, a lowlife like you wouldn't know him, anyway, my father is the… ,I don't care to know about people who treat others like they are worthless beings, Emmy interrupts him.
He was about to walk away when Drake pulled him by the collar.
Leave me alone! you freak, Emmy shouted
How can you be looking for a moron? when you are one yourself, just as he was about to complete his statement, he was given a slap, he held his cheek as he staggered and tried to lean against the wall, he didn't expect that being a poor scholarship student could be this tough.
He wanted to speak but lacked words to convey his emotions, he looked pale as he raised his face to look at him.
I forbid you from showing up anywhere around us, I don't want to see this worthless face again, I promise to grant you a death wish! if I meet you next time.
Why can't I just live like others?, Emmy finally said in a sober voice, must I survive every day in hiding, is it a crime to be born poor? he asked as tears rolled down his cheek.
I will leave you to make your decision, Jake said, he bangs the door as he left.
Emmy couldn't believe his eyes, as he stared at Jake walking away.
He didn't understand why all this had to happen to him, he consoled himself and went back quietly to his classroom.
It seemed lunchtime was over, as students were seen returning to their classes.
Emmy returned a while ago, even before lunchtime was over, he didn't want to stay out anymore, as he was in a sober mood.
All he could do was rest his head on the desk, he had a lot going through his head, and he didn't even notice when the mathematics teacher came into the classroom are you alright? hope you are in good shape?, he raised his head, as he heard a calm voice, whispering to his ear, isn't she the queen of the school?l, popularly known as the face of Elite College, he asked himself, looking at Julian's pretty face smiling at him, almost made him forget what he went through minutes ago, at the hands of Jake.
Take some water, and you will be fine, Julian said with a smile on her face, while giving him the bottle of water, thanks I appreciate your kind gesture towards me, Emmy said as he took the water from her.
He didn't expect the school celebrity to be this kind to him, he further concluded that she must be an angel sent from God to console him.
Everyone became silent as Jake entered his classroom, it didn't take a while before the teacher entered too
After having an interactive class with his students, he resorted to giving them advice, the students already knew him for his long talks, but they kept calm and listened.
Believe in yourself and your abilities, you are capable of achieving great things, if you work hard, and stay focused and determined, you have the power to overcome any challenge that comes your way.
Remember success is not just about the outcome but the effort you put in along the way.
Always trust in your knowledge and skills, and you will surely excel.
The teacher was still giving his words of advice when Jake stood up and left the class, this was disrespectful to the teacher, but he had to continue with the others who cared to listen.
Just like I was saying, he continues talking.
Embrace the opportunity to show what you have learned, you have the potential to shine brightly during these exams.
Just as he finished what he had to say, believing these words of motivation can help students stay positive, focused, and confident as they approach their exams.
The students were grateful for his words of encouragement, they thanked him and promised to do their best in their exams.
Emmy remained, resilient and focused on his studies, he believed education was his ticket to a better future. unlike Jake who was only good with bullying the weak students.
Having low grades was nothing new to him, as he did not attempt to improve his grades
