-Third Day At Kochi College-
Leonard's POV
My 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 class does so because they are not gifted academically, that's a big lie. Those who always come last in class are always failures in life and they came last cause they are lazy, lazy to read, not concentrating in class and other similar factors. " The principal said and opened a big file that had many sheets in it.
He began to call the last three and first three of each classes.
I wish that the girl that slapped the head boy was amidst the last three of her class but sadly, she wasn't.
"Are you nervous?" I asked Raymond and he shook his head in response.
I know better not to ask Donald, he's a saddist and I understand him, he hates himself cause he looks like a woman. I love him and hope he gets to accept himself for who he is someday.
I returned my gaze to the principal who was now about calling the first three and last three of our class.
He called the first three students and I was surprised at the students that were mentioned.
They were the dullest in class, even unserious.
"Raymond! how is that possible?" I asked in shock.
"Let's watch!" He replied briefly and I nodded.
"The last three are.... ha ha..." the principal seemed confused and turned to where my brothers and I stood
"This is really ludicrous, the last three are Kyle Donald..."
Donald didn't act surprised, he just walked to the principal.
I started getting scared, Donald is very brilliant. What's going on?
"White Loeanard!" The principal called and I looked into Raymond's eye.
I was so shock.
"Go." He said and I comported myself and walked to the principal.
"And...the last person on this list, the student that comes last in his class is...sadly..." The principal shook his head. "Joe Raymond."
Raymond stood still for a while before walking to the principal.
"How did this happen?" I whisper into his ear.
"We will find out." He replied without moving any part of his body.
I sighed.
The principal started to reward all the first three of each classes including ours.
He also started giving punishment to the last three of each classes.
When it was our turn, the principal shook his head and said; "I'm really sad that three top perfects are coming last in the class...Go and wash Toilet 4 and 5. Every students that comes to defecate there will not flush, the three of you will be the one to do all the flushings through out today. I'll come to check it when we have closed for the day, you know what will happen if it is not clean? More so, No students must come to complain that they met the toilet dirty when they are going to defecate, am I cleared?" The principal asked.
"Cleared, principal." I retorted, I knew my brothers would not talk, they just kept gazing at the principal.
"Match inside." The principal ordered the crowds and there were rumors flying left and right as they matched inside their various classes.
It's incredible indeed that the top three for many years are now last three.
"Raymond, what are we going to do now? it's ridiculous for us to be washing the toilet." I said.
"We will wash it... I just fear that whoever is behind this will be expelled tomorrow." He said with a dangerous smirk on his lips.
He walked away with Donald and I quickly ran to them.
"Who did this? Is there someone behind this?" I asked but he never answered.
Hmm! so someone actually set us up for failure?
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.
Alice's POVI walked back to meet mama Any in the kitchen."What took you so long?" She asked."Raymond told me to carry the food before him as he eats." I reported."Okay...and is he done eating?" Mama Any asked."No, the food poured away from my hand accidentally." I lied"You must be careless, take this and serve Leonard." The woman said.My days! I'm entering their hood again?Leonard's POVIt was the last thing I was expecting, the stupid girl poured Raymond's food to the floor."We should get her fired already."I let out when I saw that Raymond has not spoken yet." That was what she thinks we could do last, what she meant by pouring my food away is that we should do our worst." The head boy said."And
Alice's POVI was really nervous as I stood under the shower, I was hoping that the water will not be hot like that of my room.Mama Any said 'those boys' when I said the water turn hot, could the head boy and his brothers be the reason behind it?I wasn't staying directly under the shower, I turned on the water and stretched my hand to feel the temperature of ihe water and it was neither hot nor cold.I sighed and went under it, I rinsed my body well...Leonard's POVRaymond, Donald and I were inside the jeep as I drove to school."Raymond, I was expecting Alice to shout from Mam Any's bathroom but I didn't hear her scream or she perhaps didn't go there to bath? How then will she bath body?" I asked."I didn't make the water hot." Raymond said."Why? " I asked feeling disappointed
