Principal Powers stood in front his full length mirror making finishing touches to his church outfit on a beautiful sunday morning when his phone rang, he swiftly tapped the Bluetooth on his left ear.
"Good morning Sir" the voice greeted, he immediately recognized it. This had to be important news for him to call on a weekend.
"Good morning Mr Tunde"
"Sir, we have some good news concerning the missing lab equipment"
Gotcha!
His ears perked up at the information.
"Go on'
"Last night, the security man heard some noise at the lab by 3am. The culprit escaped before we caught them. However, it seems that they mistakenly dropped their purse in the process of running..."
"Purse?" He asked quizzically, if what the physics lab teacher heard himself correctly, he was insinuating that the thief was a female.
"...Yes sir, and we found an ID bearing the name of one of our students"
A student!? How can this be??
Principal Powers took a deep breath.
"Who is it?"
************************************
Ifechi had the roughest weekend ever. For some reason, her mum had recurring mood swings and kept sending her on multiple errands and wouldn't let her concentrate while reading. To top it, she still had no clue where her ID card was.
Her family received an unexpected visitor that Sunday evening.
She heard knocks at the gate when watching some YouTube shorts during her study break. She sat up and removed the airpod from her left ear and remained still till she didn't hear anything. Maybe there was nobody there. She placed the gadget back in her ear and relaxed on the bed when the knock became louder.
Ifechi sighed, praying that it was their neighbor's gate that the person was knocking on until the knock became more furious that she forced herself out of her bed groaning.
Just as she reached the door, her younger bro dashed out from the side of the house to open the gate.
Mtcheww! Why did she na stress herself.
She stood patiently to see whom this person was.
"Amanda?"
Her older sister came almost staggering into the compound with two traveling bags.
"Aunty don't be standing there na, come and help me" she said, Ifechi stepped down slowly and carefully, confusion marking every inch of her pretty face.
"Why...what are you doing back home?"
"Ah ah did you bring back everything from school?" Her brother called out from the gate, Ifechi peeped to see a taxi at their gate, filled with load. She looked at Amanda who pointed her jaw at the gate.
"Go and help him carry my things out"
"Which one?"
"All of them"
"Haa!"
It took her some seconds to register what her sis said, but afterwards she went to the gate to charter in the luggage.
She waited most of the evening anticipating an explanation from her sis. When none was forthcoming, she asked.
"Has school closed?"
"What type of question is that?" Her sister snapped taking her by surprise.
"Sor...ah ah, I was just asking na"
