“I am so disappointed in most of you” our English teacher, Mr. Yinka said as he paced the front of our classroom with our test scripts in his hand.
He shook his head and placed them on the table and told Tolani who was sitting at the front to distribute the scripts to their respective owners.
“I am so disappointed, you guys might think I shouldn’t care but I have to. I really have to. I am your teacher, you guys failing only means I failed because I am impacting knowledge in you all and you should do better. Better than this”
“I asked what you don’t understand in what I teach you all but what you all do is nod and say ‘Yes sir, we understand’.” He twisted his lips in annoyance. “I have told you guys times without number, don’t be scared to tell me when you don’t understand a particular phrase or anything
“That is why I was employed in the first place, to teach you what you don’t know so you can be better. I am not pleased at all, I tried my b
Everywhere was filled with darkness, the only ray of light I could see was the one coming from the street light some steps away. I was walking, but walking to where? I don't really know... the darkness was so thick it made the light coming from the street light faint.I kept walking in that direction and passed it going further into the darkness, but it wasn't too dark anymore because another street light could be seen up front and a small house… this looks so familiar like I have been here before, but I can't seem to pick point what exactly this place is and how I found myself there.I could feel my heartbeat so fast against my ribcage and tried to calm myself down by muttering what I used to hear Mum say when she puts me back to bed after a big scary nightmare.I tripped and fell forward but I hurt my wrist
So dad got back yesterday and it was quite okay. I and Danielle presented the numerous pastries (even though it isn't up to ten kinds of pastries) we made him and he appreciated it and almost ate them all.I was happy he loved it, he brought home some gifts for each of us and we all were pleased with it. I was happy I didn't get a sorcerer's book this time. Yes, that’s how strange he finds me.I am so prepared for school and Danielle thinks it's fine to take our time, I really dont know what she is doing in her room. I remembered banging against her door when I woke up because I know how much time she takes just to have her bath.Let's not start with when she is dressing up. We have uniforms for crying out loud and she takes all the time in the world to put them on. You just have to be patient when it comes to
"Hey, you came quite late to school" I heard someone say from behind me and I looked over my shoulder and followed his movement till he was walking beside me to class."Hey Leo" I greet him and he smiled at me."How are you doing?" he asked"I am fine, and you?""Hmm... good looking as always"I glanced at him and saw his dimple pop on his cheeks when he smiled and I rolled my eyes and punched him lightly on the arm."Yeah, I know" I muttered."So you find me attractive, eh?" he said looking at me from the side of his eyes."You are good looking to the eyes, though" I added under my breath."I will ignore the last word and go for the first compliment, thank you, Ella. You are very much aware I find you more than attractive?" he asked and I looked at him and flashed him a smile."I know" we were about to get into the class when I felt someone tap my shoulder then walked past me, I looked behind and face front
I honestly wasn't that mad at Leo anymore or even Chris, like it happened since morning and I am not the ‘i enjoy keeping grudges’ kind of people. Since I already told them off, I am great. I even told him not to bother joining me for lunch, because I was a bit angry then but my anger has already subsided. Now it was closing hour and everyone is heading home… I can't speak for them but I know I am heading home. ‘I need my bed at the moment' i stretched a bit and got pushed a bit by a girl who angrily muttered ‘move away and dont poke me’ i apologized and left the middle of the road. Then I made
“So do you want to explain what went on between you and your beloved Leo yesterday?” Danielle asked and I stopped from putting the piece of bread in my mouth and threw her a glare. I narrowed my eyes on her and continued with my meal. We were hanging out at Becca’s place having a little picnic at the little garden behind her home and it was going well till ‘Aunty’ here decided to ask questions I didn't want to answer yet. “You don't want to talk about it?” Rebecca asked and I shook my head ‘no’. “Okay, understood let's talk about something else” she immediately changed the subject and I was glad she did. “Okay, if you say so” Danielle agreed
“You know I miiisssed you so much,” I said putting the whole spoon of ice cream in my mouth. We were sitting in front of a superstore that sells ice cream also and was eating mince pies and ice cream. People passed by giving us weird looks for sitting on the pavement but we didn't mind them but concentrated on our snack. We weren't using their but to sit, so what's their problem. After I saw him sitting on the pedestrian walkway I found out it was in front of his house and he invited me in but I declined and suggested we got ice cream instead. Now here we are munching this great snack. I love it so much. “I was thinking of how I was going to talk to you, not the greetings we gave each other during the week.”
“So, you guys are back to talking terms?” my twin asked when we were having dinner and mum looked at me with a questioning look. “You and Leo fought?” she asked and I threw my twin a glare before shaking my head and looked at my mum. “Just a little misunderstanding between friends, here and there” I answered and faced my food. “Does he understand you both are on the friendship level?” Mum asked and I turned to look at her. So she noticed too? “I know that boy likes you a lot, a blind person can see it…” she paused and looked at me “except you are naive or ignorant to that fact” I looked away from her unable to keep eye contact. “Then you know, seeing that you cant keep eye c
“Now, we will divide x and say it equals to minus x and that would be our final answer,” he wrote it on the board and covered the marker “I hope that was very understood?” “Yes sir” we chorused as we copied the solution on the board. “Okay, now that we understand that, I will like us to have a little quiz since I am done teaching for the day and we have like thirty-five to forty minutes to end the class.” he put the textbook down and picked up the JAMB past question booklet then skimmed through the pages Some students groaned and muttered ‘why can't he just leave since he is done for the day’ some couldn't wait to solve some past questions, me being one of them. “So, you guys
