Episode One
"Gbagaun! Gbagaun! 'Break time" a tall dark boy in a well ironed uniform stood in front of the class pavement to jingle the bell.
The break time was always from 12:00pm to 12:30 and this day wasn't different. All the pupils rushed out of their various classes. Those who wanted to buy food rushed to the food vendor while others that were eager to go on the playground found their way there.
Bethel Nursery and Primary School is one of the best school in the area, and even high-income families would rather send their kids to that school than any other school around.
There was also an open field very close to the car parking lot. Some of the boys would go there to play football, some doing the catcher game while some of the girls jumped rope.
"John, are you not going for break?" the class teacher asked John, who was the only one left in the class.
John was one of the bookworms and gentle kids in Primary 4. He was the last child of Mr and Mrs Adegbenro. Everything was given to satisfy him and he was been treated like a special child.
"No ma, I brought my food from home." John replied calmly.
"Alright. Enjoy your meal." the teacher said as she walked out the door to the opposite class.
Few minutes later, the break was over and everyone was back to their various classes.
"Good afternoon ma, you are welcome to Primary 4A. God bless you ma! Amen" the pupils chorused, affirming their prayer by themselves.
"You may have your seat." Miss Josephine ordered.
Miss Josephine, an unmarried, light skinned woman in her mid 30's. She was the class teacher who taught them 5 subjects.
She entered the class with their dictation note and started complaining on the number of students in their class who they had hope to present for the common entrance had failed dictation.
"I can't believe that out of 35 pupils in this class, only 15 people did well!" She exclaimed.
"Let's do the correction. Kingsley share this book." She said as she turned to the chalk board to write the correction.
A few seconds later, her phone started ringing. She wondered who could be calling her by that time of the noon. She moved closer to the bag but before she could answer her phone, the call went off.
"Wos, the person will call back jere." She said in a whisper as she continued writing on the board.
The phone started ringing again. She picked this time!
"Hello... Good afternoon sir. Yes, this is Bethel Nursery and Primary School... Yes sir, I'm with you... Jesus, when? Oh God!" She dropped the call.
"Let me just write the right answers on the board, correct it all in your book and bring it back to the staff room." She said as she hurried out of the class.
Immediately she headed straight to the Head-Mistress's office.
