It was five years since Pamela had a terrible nightmare on Christmas Eve, since then she had tried not to be too anxious about anything, until the approach of her fourth coming examinations. She really wanted to do her parents proud by having the best results ever had in her family, and her school, she knows that this was not going to be easy but she strongly believed that God never inspires men with ambition that were not meant to be realized, that the time she will be very careful and be ready to go for what she wanted and she will try to be focused on her education. 
                 Looking back on how she entered her present school, her results were one of the best and she found her name on two different place on the board displaying names of newly admitted students to the school for the next term.    The moment her father dropped her outside the school gate for the first time, she knows that Queen college was for the only known "Pamela Phillips"whatever be the case, the she was later convince of when she stepped into the magnificent compound of the school from the main entrance leading in to the school compound, by the sides of the narrow path way leading in to the class room were beautiful flowers of different types and colour.
                 The school also had a back gate and two halls , each of the halls was very big and was used for only important occasion.  The students in the college popularly referred to the big hall as the "flowers Hall" because of the way flowers were displayed all around the corners of the hall, the small hall what like two classroom put together,  it can contained two pianos and the hall was also knows as the music concert hall where some students who loves music come in to perform and show their talent in these important occasion in the hall, it's stage was very big and will structured, decorated with varieties of rose flowers .
                    The principal of the school, lady Elizabeth Swiss was a white lady from Paris with croaky voice and double bent pointed nose,  she was not really that beautiful but possessed some attractive features, like her finely shaped legs and her suntan skin, and she was a very tall and slim lady, but too tall for the black liking, her eyes were deep set and gray in colour.  
               Indeed the school looked like her in many ways, the hostels were built with wood and fenced with flowers, and the windows were all net covered while each bunk bed owed a table lamp and each hostel could house fifteen bunk beds and a single bed for the house prefect.
                Pamela was particularly happy this morning as she left the hostel, before having lunch, she left for the fields to relax and stretch her nerves, today, there would not be no law guarding the boarding school students since most of the perfects were preparing to leave the hostel and soon the mantle of leadership would fall on the senior secondary school two students.
                Wanting to appreciate the work of nature , she sat on the field in the school watching the chirping birds , which were flying around her , the cool breeze that blew her was welcome from the stuffy interior of the hostel, lazily as if reading her mood, the sun warm and soft appeared, so much unlike the scorching mid-day  sun . The was indeed a good source of vitamin "E". For the first time in two months, Pamela forgot about her anxiety to make A 's  A sweet sleep careful took her off.
               Some minutes later, she heard shouts of her name and tried to jerk out of oblivion and call back, she eventually managed to sit up right,   when she saw Nwanj already dressed in a mufti wear, her heart missed a beat.
                 She did not know if she had slept for long.
                "What is the time?" She enquired.
                "Ten minutes to three. By God!  senior Efe and Deborah they will kill you to day!  you have destroyed the day for us,  Grace is in the deserted part of the school compound looking for you, just stand up and start to preparing your explanation for them, we all thought you are missing because your lunch was not touched and your things were intact. Let go.  Come and explain were you have being and what you have been doing that makes you not to take your lunch by the time of the day come and explain yourself "
                Nwanju dragged Pamela while reprimanding her along the way, Efe, Grace and Deborah were already standing with their bags and Nwanju bag, they were on the verge of leaving the school, whenever they saw Nwanju and without Pamela, then a black bag caught Pamela attention whose owner was unknown to her.
               Pamela saw the three girls ahead of her.  Efe looked worried, while the other looked angry.  When Efe saw Pamela, a show of concern spread over her face as she moved forward to embraced her.
             Just then the bad boy that is now pretending to have changed came from nowhere shaking his frame unnecessarily,  Pamela who had welcome Efe with a warm embrace with a smile turned cool , coldly she asked Efe forgetting all formalities.
              " Is him coming with us ?
               "Darling sweetie Efe , I have looked all round the block for this girl just for your sake yet this madam has the right to open her gutter against me following us guys " Ben said with anger.
             Pitifully, Pamela shook with this person was going to be difficult, she had developed intense dislike for him since the day he tried to talking to her and the he told a lie to a student about a teacher even before the one that happened in her house.
                  There had been an essay competition on the natural environment, Pamela who was studying for her examination and was not particularly keen on writing that essay had paid deaf attention to the competition. But the school outing master Mr Anthony insisted that Pamela should write the essay.
           Pamela who feels the essay is not important to her she felt that her examination is much more important than the essay and she wants to put all her attention to her examination than any other things.
               A week passed, each day of the week,  Mr Anthony would walk to Pamela class  demanding for the essay, two days away from the competition, Mr Anthony used the whip on her and walked away with a threat that he was going to report her to the school principal if she refused to write the essay before the competition day.
               After his departure Pamela wept bitterly and in anger narrated her plight, to her friend Deborah when she asked her for the cause of her grief 
              " I am the only one in the school? Must I be forced to face a competition against my will?  Then what is the possibility of excelling?, They all should leave me alone and stop disturbing me. Wicked master, I hope he doesn't report me to the principal " and so Pamela kept on crying.
