Hi guys, its me again. A new chapter. Please remember to vote, comment and share.
I don't really know what will happen next. Mr. Kunle settled into a chair as soon as we entered the office. We all remain standing . He opens a file he brought to the office. I can see some neatly arranged papers in it.
I throw a glance around, Sewa's face is cool. Something that I expected her to be panicking. Very soon the story we change, maybe she is the type with strong heart. Obinna's face is just blank and Nwafor is poker faced. The principal is having a serious face, I can't really say what Mr. Kunle is looking like.
"Sir, from my investigation." Those words reminds me of some detective movies I watch. The moment when the result of investigation is about to be released.
"The papers or exhibit was actually by one of them."Gen Gen!!! All of a sudden despite A.C every where is getting hot.
He paused for a split second. Fear was written all over my face. Who could it be? Sewa was a minion of Amaka, that alone qualified her although up till now she isn't panicking .
Nwafor was a friendly person and our class rep, he has always taken first since our Jss1 . I don't think he could be the culprit. who knows.The paper was undisputably used by Obinna Akachukwu. The name dropped like a bomb shell. All gazes shifted to Obinna's direction.
Nawa oo😲😲. Wonders they say shall never end🙆🙆
This can't be true. A crop of disappointment fills me.
"Sir after comparing the scripts with the exhibit, his paper was the only one that matched."
He concluded displaying the papers on the table for comparison as evidence.I open and close my eyes just to make sure it wasn't another dream.
"Now tell us why you did it!" The principal thundered in disappointment.
"Sir, I didn't understand the subject so I brought it into the exam hall to help myself." He tried to explain. I was so surprised by his utterance.See self defence abeg.
"I thought you were one of the best in this school. See the way you messed up yourself." The principal spoke with an incredulous look.
Obinna was the least person I expected to be the culprit . New lessons for me not to trust anybody.
I feel relieved now ,I am sad and happy at the same time. I never expected it to end this way
Don't judge a book by it cover . I am sure Benita and Rachel will be surprised to hear it."Sir it was my first time, the devil pushed me to do it. It was because I couldn't prepare for the exam and I didn't want my parents to complain if I fail." He spat.
Hmm... Come hear gist!
"So how did the exhibit get to Edna's desk?" The principal enquired. "Sir, Mr. Marcus was approaching my seat and i knew that he was strict. In other not to get caught I quickly threw it towards Edna's desk." He uttered remorsefully.
So you what to tarnish my reputation in this school.
"Alright the necessary punishment will be meted out to you." The principal spoke in a stern voice.
"The rest of you can go back to your classes." He ordered us. "Okay sir." We all chorus.Sometimes what one seems to be running away from is what finally befalls the person.
Now will his parents not be involved. He was the quiet type. The type one will be wondering if ever talks.Maybe that's why they say fear people that don't talk. Because when they carry out what is in their mind you will be surprised.
I laugh at myself trying to imagine my mother's reaction if it was me. Hmm... She will first drag me by my ears, beat hell out of me, seize my phone, no TV. She will say she would deliver me of the spirit of cheating through prayers. Sometimes she could be unpredictable. You will enjoy the services of free counseling for long hours.
A short assembly wasn't called for Obinna. Maybe he was an exception of the rule. But you needed to see the shock and surprise on everyone's face when the news broke out in the class.
Before I reached class some how trust our 'Awon Amebo' gang the news has reached class already.
Making me to wonder how.Amaka and her friends are busy clapping hands in a funny manner. "Wonders shall never end. So that Obinna is nit as innocent as he looks." She said chuckling.
The class is a bit noisy I can't find my friends around. Everybody form small clusters. You should already know the gist.
I walk out of the class in search of my friends. And luckily we meet at the door. "Edna, how did it go?" Rachel ask with a concerned face. Benita leans forward to know the outcome.
"Well all the speculations flying around were wrong. Obinna was the culprit after all."
"Are you serious?" they ask astonished. The closing bell rang and everybody picked up their bags to head home.
I told them the whole story on our way to the gate. I was glad that in all things I was vindicated.
