Caleb and Joshua arrived at Uphills High School early, before the assembly commenced. As one of the prefects, Caleb took his position alongside the head boy, John Mike. The school had just resumed from the long holiday, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement.
The principal, Mr. Kane, welcomed the students and officially announced the forthcoming WAEC exam. After the assembly, the students proceeded to their respective classes. Caleb and Joshua shared stories of their holiday experiences with their classmates.
However, Joshua felt a bit overshadowed as most students flocked around Caleb, who was exceptionally loved by all. Caleb's girlfriend, Nora, was also present, and Joshua couldn't help but notice the way she looked at Caleb.
As the day went on, Joshua found himself reminiscing about the previous year's experiences. He detested the way some students showed off their new possessions, and he was particularly annoyed by Chika, a notorious student, and Mr. Sadeye, a strict teacher.
Joshua took pride in his friendship with Caleb, who was not only excellent in academics but also excelled in sports. Joshua, on the other hand, had a talent for painting.
After school, Caleb often relaxed behind a block of classrooms, easing off the tension that had been building up inside him. He thought about his brother, Lucas, and the moments they had shared together. Caleb wondered what the future held for Lucas, considering his past experiences.
Just as Caleb was lost in thought, the head boy summoned him for a prefects' meeting with the principal. As they approached the principal's office, they stumbled upon an old woman dressed in native attire and a young lady who looked unfamiliar and wasn't wearing a uniform. John asked Caleb who they were, but Caleb just shrugged, unsure.
