By the time i entered the schools gate on this fateful morning, i was too decimated to notice that musa the schools gate man was nowhere near the gate. I just wanted to sneak in unnoticed and see if i could avoid Mr Stephen our physics teacher. About ten meters away from my classroom, a call rang in the air laura, laura. A wave of fear swept through me. With the suddenness of the cry, i turned, only to stare at the effeminate face of piggy. A look at his person often reminds me of the character, Piggy in william Goldings book- Lord of the flies, with his round, plump face, and a small nose carrying one of the thickest of all specs. Through his binoculars, as we often called it, piggy squinted at me in the caressing heat of the early morning sun. His face was full of unspoken and unusual excitement, but not that kind you feel when your dad buys you a gift. You know that type that makes you cheerfully terrified. Wha-at was my spluttering reply. It has happened. Thats his usual style, which always puts me on my nerves, for he always starts his stories from the end. I wasnt in the mood for any kind of dilly-dallying. Tell me what it is or you leave me alone. He looked around the school and that made me look around too. And then my eyes opened. I guess my troubles had blinded me to the tensed atmosphere, which apparently engulfed the school premises. what has happened, tell me please. i asked. I was surprised by the sudden change in my voice and mood. Clustering around in different groups were students; all discussing in low tones. Piggy told me all that had happened the only day luck had me come late to school. And i felt so bad that i missed the whole show. Our maths teacher Mr collen, undoubtedly was a very hardworking and experienced teacher. He was much loved for his extra-ordinary ability to make the subject become a doodle. A very charismatic and energetic young man in his thirties, whenever he mounted the rostrum as he always called it, he becomes the pastor while we become the sheep. His tie always seemed to speak the same language with him. It was like there was an understanding between him and the tie. If his hand swings gracefully to the left, so will the tie swing in same direction. A perfect rhythm they often make. But Mr collens high rank qualities were often played down by his inordinate likeness for girls. He could swim the deepest ocean just to have his way with a girl. At such times when students notice that his hospitality was tending towards a particular lady, everybody knows what would end the relationship between a cat and a fried fish. I guess his dangerous ambition began the day he was teaching us in his usual tie swinging, hand gesticulating charismatic matter, and the whole class was engrossed in listening. But suddenly the cloud broke; uncle collen was stuttering and saying rubbish minus x minus=2, 3+4=100, minus x minus= Times, equals to minus one = 2 and so on. We couldnt help raising our heads to see what on earth struck our dear Mr collen that he became an instant stamerer. Every eye followed Mr collens and what else or who else could be causing such distractions and confusion other than katherine williams herself and Amina another ravishingly beautiful girl as they passed by the corridor and waited to talk. My God was what surprisingly came out of my mouth; before i could cover it, Yhew! was what came out of another boys besides me. First, it was uncle collen, then the whole class went on rampage. You need to see what katherine was wearing. Her figure eight was more obvious than eight itself. Come and see how her top revealed her bust and youll go on thinking about a million thing. That was even the side attraction. Her behind was, oh! I lack words to describe it. Just let me say merciless....well rounded, playing all kinds of tunes at the slightest movement. Her skirt was so revealing, standing far above her knees. Her tight skirt did nothing to hide the enthusiasm of her behind as she and Amina walked away, and every eye gleefully watched. You should just have seen the provocative sight, i think that was what swept uncle collen off his feet. One thing i couldnt tell was whether she was aware of the trauma and commotion she caused the entire class. And i really think Mr. Collen had since that day been mapping out his malicious scheme to get katherine. Mr. Collen somehow began to give extra lecture to katherine and we had thought good for her, as we all knew she needed it. The extra lessons were not enough to make katherine pass the test we had last. As our promotion exam approches, just about a week away, we gathered that katherine approached Mr. Collen to give her some of the exam questions before the exam date. Mr. Collen agreed but on the condition that katherine will..... ----> to be continued.
