Leonard.
I was stunned as I saw the tiny girl's hand land on the face of the head boy. We had learnt from the head boy not do anything no matter what happens unless he orders us.
I pressed my eye on the head boy waiting for his order.
The head boy stared at Alice indifferently and walked away while we followed.
I turned and watched the lady but she only stood still and kept gazing at us as we walked away.
"Raymond! She just slapped you? " I said angrily. "You can't give me order to deal with her." I added even as we walked.
"My father taught me that the easiest way to be disrespected by a lady is to lay hands on her..." The head boy paused and said softly.
He was looking into my face, not smiling or frowning.
I'm used to his ways.
"Get her some work ,tomorrow." Raymond said. I knew what he meant immediately and nodded.

Following Day!
-On The Assmebly Ground-
We prefects stays round the assemblies and not on the assembly ground. Raymond, Donald and I sood on the podium and watched the crowds of students lined up in order of their classes.
After the principal was done addressing the sturateg, it was my turn to pick students to clean some strategic places in the school.
As the principal walked away, I sauntered to the podium.
"Good morning, students of Kochi college." I greeted. The morning was a cold one.
" Good morning, labour prefect." They all replied in echo.
"You and you, wait for labor." I commanded two students, one of which is the tiny girl that slapped the head boy yesterday.
He had told me to give her work, a streanous one and I will do just that. She will regret what she did.
"Let me join them, labour prefect." Some lazy junior students who prefers working to staying in class to learn yell but I turned deaf ears.
I usually point at ten to twenty students to do the works previously , but since I want to punish the girl, she will be doing the work of them all.
"Head boy!" I turned to the head boy to ask if he has anything to say to the students but he only shook his head in response.
"You can now march to your various classes." I ordered and the student at the drum kit section began to drum as they all dispersed in order.
The assembly became empty, the teachers had gone to their staff rooms and all perfect have returned to their various classes.
Just I, Donald , the head boy and the two ladies were left on the assembly hall.
The two girls walked to us at my order.
I smirked wickedly on seeing the girl that slapped the head boy yesterday.
" Follow me!" I ordered and the both of them followed me.
The head boy and Donald didn't followed me.
Alice
I received the greatest shock of my life yesterday when I threw a slap to the cheek of the head boy and he didn't react.
I felt so foolish and started getting nervous of what their plan would be for me.
I have never been called for labor, never! I always think I'm lucky but today seems to be my unlucky day.
I followed the labor prefect to a very large room that was beside the primcipal's office.
It was my first time there, it was dirty, roudy and...looks like a library that has not been used in years.
According to the school system, some dirty places in the school are left uncared for , so they can punish some students with it.
I don't want to believe I'm being punished for slapping the head boy.
"Both of you, start to clean this place, ensure it is well arranged." The labor perfect ordered.
"Just the both of us? please get us more people." I requested.
He walked out without uttering a word and came back few minutes later with the principal.
"Who are you to disrespect the labor perfect of Kochi, do you realize it can lead to your expulsion from this school?" The principal asked and my heart tightened in fear.
He has gone to report me to the principal, My heart tightened. My parents had warned me severally never to have issues with the school management.
My parent are poor and that would be the end of my academic pursuit once I'm expelled.
"Sir! I'm very sorry sir." I apologized sincerely and respectfully.
The man walked away and I let out a sigh. I was so scared.
It's the first time the principal will be speaking to me personally and I was so frightened.
I dare not say any word in objection to what the labor prefect says any longer.
I got to work, the second girl joined me and we began to work.
"I'm going for my first lecture, You should have been done with this part before I come back to check up on you, is that cleared?" He asked.
"Yes , labor prefect." The lady and I responded and he walked out.
The first lecture is one hour and the part he says we should sweep and organize will surely take more than six hours to organize.
I began to worry thinking that they probably have a plan to get me expelled from this school.
After fifty minutes of streanous work, all my uniforms were dirty, sweats had covered my body, I was becoming weak and tired, same with the lady that was with me.
I had to keep working more, trying to finish the part he said we should get done before he comes back.
The labor prefect walked in ten minutes later and at that point, one would have thought I went to a construction site to do some dirty and streanous work. I was so dirty and sweaty.
"Why aren't you done yet?" He asked.
"It's much labor prefect, we are trying our best." The girl who had not been speaking with me all this time that we had been working together said in response to the question of the labor prefect.
"You may leave." He said to the girl and the lady happily walked away.
I was expecting the same but he didn't even take a look at my tired self.
"Get done with this before I come back, I'm going for my second lecture...I will be reporting you if you didn't." He said and walked away.

AliceI was released when it was just two hours to closing time, I couldn't go to class because I looked so dirty and...I irritate myself.I went to the bathroom and shower, I dusted the uniform and put it on again, I was still embarrassed to go to the class.I leaned on the wall as I remembered how Albert and I use to be lovers, we would eat together when it is break, go home together, visit each other in weekends, go to places together on holidays, only for him to tell me he's not interested anymore.It hurts! I closed my eye and allowed tears fell off my face. I was in deep sadness. I felt like I can never overcome that pain, I'll probably stay single for life.I noticed someone walked inside the male's bathroom but I was too weak to even care who it was.The door to the bathroom opened again after few moments , implying that the person in
-Third Day At Kochi College-Leonard's POVMy brothers and I stood before the crowds of students, we were nervous, same with other students cause today is a day whereby the first three students of each class and last three students are always been called.Ever since our first grade, Donald, Raymond and I had always top our class. It's one of the reasons why we are perfects."Good morning, students." The principal greeted the assembly of students lined up in order."Good morning, sir." They all echoed in response.The principal started to address the assembly of students, addressing cogent points and at some point, he said; "It's now time to call out the first three and last three students of each class. Those who lead will be rewarded as always. Those who didn't would be punished. We are not of the ideology that students who comes last in clas
Leonard's POVMy brother and I were at toilet 4 and 5 all day, doing exactly as the principal had commanded.As soon the closing bell rang, the principal walked to us and examined the toilet."Clean..." He said and seem like he wanted to utter more words but he couldn't.He tried walking away but paused and turned to us."But...how did you guys come last? I don't get it." He said and as I wanted to speak, I saw Raymond walk away.I knew what he meant immediately: 'not to reply the principal'I snubbed the principal and followed my brothers.We walked to our car and I drove them home.We reside in the same house.Raymond's Dad sat on the couch outside the house reading a newspaper, Raymind stepped down from the car as soon as I parked and walked to him.&
Alice's POVI had just arrived at school, I went to purchase a chocolate before sauntering to my class.I met Pearl in class reading a novel."Pearl!" I called with a smile and she stood happily."Baby girl...what's up?" She asked."I'm fine...and I'm happier cause of the punishment given to the head boy and his brothers yesterday." I said and we both laughed."He should have known better not to dare you. You are clever baby." She said and I giggled.I dropped my school bag and sat, it has not been up to five minutes when my ex boyfriend started to approach me.As he walked towards me , the pain of my heartbreak surged through my body again. I had tried so hard to let it go but anytime I see Albert, It hurts. It hurts to realize that he can just break up with me like that and move on.
Alice.I stood shamefully before my mom and dad, I had given the suspension letter to my dad. It really hurts me that I hurt them with my suspension.My dad is a poor mechanic while mom used to sell food stuffs at the supermarket but not anymore, she can't go out anymore cause she had being diagnosed with a tumor of the stomach.My family is in so much pain already, causing them more hurts me so bad.My dad spoke shakily as tears poured from his face. He said; "Alice, I told you to be careful amidst those rich students, they are not to be dared. Who did you offend that made them suspend you?""I'm so sorry sad." My heart bleeds as I saw him cry."You are one of the privileged student to be on scholarship, you should not take the grace for granted, what you did really hurt us." My mom said frankly."Mom, I'm sorry, I know I hav
AliceThe sheet that I threw to Raymond's face fell to his lap, he looked at me and wined up his glass"Are you going to expel me?" I yelled but I do not think he heard cause of the barrier of the glass between us.He drove away.I stood still, I was sad and scared, what if he orders my expulsion?Gosh? Why am I not rich? A rich parent should have given birth to me.I was angry, I walked to where my orange fell and took the empty tray. What will I tell mom now?---I walked inside the house sadly, my mom was laying on the three seated chair.She turrned her head at me as I walked in, at first, her eyes trailed to the empty tray that I held but she knew something was wrong with me with my sad face."Did someone snatch the money from you?" She questioned.
Leonard's POVMy brother and I stood still as we saw the tiny lady that slapped Raymond.Raymond whispered into my ear saying; "Find out what she's doing here."I nodded and watched as Raymond and Donald walked to their dormiitory.The girl stood still, she seems surprisedI walked to her and before I could speak, she greeted; "Welcome."I shot her a look of disdain and smirked wickedly as I stare at her from head to toe with so much hatred."What are you doing here?" I asked her."Erm..." she stuttered and swallowed. "Well, I'm the newly employed maid, please don't let your dad fire me, I need the money."That came as a surprise, dad had said he would get us a maid but I wasn't expecting it to be the girl we had been having issues with at school."You
AliceI was horrified by the request of Raymond. I knew they are wealthy and are capable of anything.My only power lies in my future, after I had graduated from school, I will strive to become a rich and powerful woman and get back to them.But for now, I'm helpless, for the sake of my mom, I'll allow them slap me."Yes?" I replied."Kneel before Raymond and bend your head, let him slap you first." Leonard said and I walked to Raymond.As I approached him, his beautiful scent covered my nostrils, he wasn't looking at me but looking away slightly.I knelt before him and bent my head for him to slap me."Slap me." I said and he still didn't look at me.The atmosphere was tense and I wondered what he was waiting for, he should slap me already, my neck is beginning to hurt me.
