Chapter thirty three

Days elapsed. The day for the PTA meeting reached. Parents of the SS2 students came to school. The meeting commenced an hour after the assembly. As the meeting was going on, they needed the school to be in order so the dean of studies came to the SS1 to select those to control the juniors. They were about sixteen students selected. Godwin was among. He set them six in each class except JSS2 which was divided into two classes. So those to control them were four. Two for each class so but it was left for them to do the grouping.
“If i have really been a bad boy like they see me why should he include me on the list?” Godwin thought, staring as if he wanted to be sure that the man did not make a mistake by calling his name, for he doesn’t want to go there and be disgraced. As he stood, he didn’t take a step until the man pointed at him.
As the grouping was two pairs for each class Lovett made haste to choose Godwin. It was going to be just two of them and the students they were going to look after. Peter chose one of the twins because he wanted Amara to have a chance with David.
David and Amara chose JSS 3B. When they got there, they cooperated very well to see that the class was in order. Amara did the teaching, David was to ensure that nobody misbehaves but Amara did not allow him treat them harshly. Sometimes David acted as a link between Amara and the students. At some point he became the students speaker or help them answer some questions.
Amarachi’s attention was often stolen by the sight of David. She stares at him and smile even if there’s nothing amusing. She doesn’t skip attending to his contributions or questions even if they were not relevant. And there was difference in the way she answers him. But it was as if David did not notice all that for he was not reciprocating as expected but she forced herself to act like it was nothing for at least he wasn’t mean and wasn’t avoiding her. After the lesson and the students were busy with the exercise given to them she went to sit with David to talk to him. That was when Peter came in to see how they were doing. He was glad to see them together so he joined them at the corner but he was on a different sit. They were a big distanced from the students.
“If you love somebody walk up to am tell am you love am o, because no time no time at all” Peter sang continuously on a low voice so that it was only David and Amara hears him. David heard him of course but was absent minded and knowing not the purpose of it so he did not care but Amara did. She knows why he was singing that song. She looks at Peter to make him realize that she understands what he was doing but he always avoid her gaze.
Godwin and Lovett controlled JSS1A. Those half humans as Peter would call them looked funny and new. Both of them controlled them. They did not really teach them new things. The major thing they did was to ask them questions randomly, but only on things of their level. They were very friendly with the students of the class. The students enjoyed their presence.
Lovett noticed a girl of about thirteen years old, one of the biggest girl in the class acting weird. She looked like someone going through pains with sweat doting her face.
“Hey, what’s it?” Lovett asked the girl standing close to her. Godwin was at another side talking to the boys.
“My stomach” The girl blurted in agony.
“Since when?”
“Not very long”
“Do you want to go home?” Now the pain didn’t allow her speak or maybe she doesn’t know whether to say yes to that or say otherwise.
“I think I know what’s wrong with you. You need to go home”
Lovett went to talk to Godwin about it. They concluded on letting the girl go. Godwin told the class to let their form master know why she will be absent when he or she comes to take names of attendants. That was settled then Lovett took her outside, spoke briefly to her and permitted her to go home.
There’s something Godwin and Lovett permitted as their class work. The students were asked to write short stories of any kind. Under fifteen minutes they were asked to submit them.
This was the time Godwin believed that people has different handwritings. Some were terrible to an extent it doesn’t look like English. They read their stories one after another. Some were meaningless, some meaningful but not completed and some were confusing. Two of the stories interested them most. This was it.
There was a girl who lived with her uncle. Her uncle and his wife were very strict, they don’t allow her go out so that she doesn’t mix up with other guys and restricts anyone from seeing her in the name of friends, especially boys. Whenever she returns from school she stays behind the fence for the rest of the day.
She was not happy about the lonely life she’s living but could not say it to her guidance’s hearing. Her friends in school always discuss about things they were exposed to, things they do, things they learned and places they go. She became emotionally deranged. All she could pray for was a chance to live like her friends.
Gradually, she began doing secret things. She sneaks out secretly and sometimes she invite friends into the house when no one is around. Having known when they return she was careful about keeping time so that she doesn’t get caught. As she does it and go free she began getting used to it until it became a normal lifestyle to her. She always wait for her uncle and the wife to go out so she could do her mischiefs. But not very long she got pregnant.
Being naive she did not know about morning sickness. She thought it was normal illness until her aunt noticed it. Everyone got amazed. They asked the girl how it happened she said it’s her uncle. That they don’t allow her go out so the man comes home to see her later in the day. The man denied it but nobody believed him.
Lesson: Do not restrict people from socializing because you are making it worse for those who can not adapt to that, for humans can only be controlled but not bonded.
They wondered who could write something like that in JSS1. Both the grammar, idea and speed was amazing. They read the other one.

Since I came to this school I have not liked anyone, especially the seniors but senior Godwin and Lovett are practically different. I really like them and I will like to be their school son.

Those boys were wonderful in writing. They use English like people that have gone far in education. Both Godwin and Lovett knows they were not as bright as they are when they were of their age. They called the two of them to come up. They were appreciated and encouraged.
“Why do you want to be our school child?” Lovett asked. The boy was shy to speak. But the continuous persuasion made him talk.
“I like the both of you together that’s why I want to be your school son” The boy confessed. Lovett smiled and assured the little boy protection as long as she’s in the school.
Godwin selected the most confusing writings and called those that wrote them to come forth and read to the class. It was a great entertainment to everyone including the readers. The other boy knowing that the class will laugh at him, he refused to read.
“Why don’t you read for us? Or can’t you read?” Lovett asked.
“I can read” The boy answered. “They are looking at me with their eyes”
“Ahn ahn! Were they supposed to look at you with their nose?” Godwin asked promptly as he heard it. His ears are very sensitive to noticing mistakes just like Peter. Lovett laughed at them and later Lovett permitted the boy to go even without reading.
“See now you are walking with your legs” Godwin said as the boy walked back to his sit. Everyone laughed. The little boy too found it funny.
When there was nothing to do, they sat to talk. Lovett told him of how some boys on streets keeps stalking her. She was serious but not in a bragging way or to make Godwin feel that he was going to loose her. She looked attractive as he stared at her steadily with all his attention. He stared to an extent he was not hearing what she was saying. He was lost in his own thoughts. He realized things he have not been able to notice. Lovett’s complexion was lighter than he thought with smooth hairless arms and legs, but the hair on her head was thick, full but not dark, corresponding with her skin. Cute face and elegance. What he likes most was how he rolls her big clean sclera and her teeth.
Godwin felt the reality was a dream. Why him, of all guys? It’s certain that he’s good looking as people would say of him but in a school where they were many choices, why was he the lucky one? What’s special about him? She was not just cute and attractive, she was smart and fun too. Practically the choice of most guys but why have they not been able to win her over?
“Are you listening at all?” Lovett’s voice startled him.
“Yes, of course. Those guys, I don’t like them” Godwin answered to make her think he was following. For he knows she will not like it that he made her talk to herself all the while. He made it look as if he was sad to hear that those guys were disturbing her.
“Don’t let that bother you. I won’t be telling you if I was to leave you” She said reaching for his hand. That’s when Godwin noticed the scar on her kneel. The wound of the accident she had was healed but the scar still looked clear because she’s fair.
“Your wound has finished completely”
“Yes, the balm you gave me was very effective. Thanks to you” Lovett answered folding up her skirt to see it better. Godwin avoided looking at her thighs for the color was capable of tempting a priest.
“You’re welcome. Do you still feel pains?”
“Not a bit” She said pressing the scar hard
They began to hear noises outside. They rushed to see what was going on. Getting out they saw their class mates running out of their class. The SS2 students were there too. They had to find out.
“Stay calm we will be right back” They told the little ones and left.
They rushed to the scene to see and hear what was really happening. By then Mr. Stones too rushed to stop them.
“What’s happening here?” The teacher asked
“How can we be in the school and SS1 are given charge over everything? Making us look like nothing. It’s an embarrassment to us. They have underestimated our personality. So we decided that since they have to control other things we will control them. They will take orders from us because we are their superior”
“So what do you want to do with them now?”
“They went to other classes to stop them from making noise but their class is making noise, disturbing our peace so they need to be punished too”
“By who?”
“Sir we still remain their senior, no matter what happens”
“Wow, you are doing well. So why don’t you do it while I watch you?” They understood what that statement really meant. They were angry that the teacher interfered.
“That’s not right, sir. You are showing partiality here. You are giving them the hands. You better warn them not to ever cross our path” They threatened, dismissing back to their class.
“SS 2 have resumed with double of what gave them suspension. Let’s see how it goes with them” Lovett said.
