Chapter Two
Jimi and Ansa were in school early before the assembly commenced. Jimi was one of the prefects in the school-At eight o’clock the head boy Seyi Lawal had started his duty to conduct the assembly which was quite fun for him. The school, Forcados High School had just resumed from the long holiday. The school holds great pride and honour because of the achievements, the alma mater had gained in several competitions.
The school was described with such modesty of a modern day edifice surrounded with beautiful flowers. The students were given a name as artificial; however, they had defeated other schools in assembly sessions of usual routine. Mr Mallun the principal, a stout and slim man with a day accent welcomed all the students and announced officially, the WAEC exam that was forthcoming. The students left the assembly in procession into their various classes as Jimi and Ansa had different moments with other classmates, sharing their past holiday experience with excitement. However, Ansa had a little attention as most students crowded round Jimi. The first days of term were always very cumbersome as same old faces showcased their new style of dressing, new phones and other things they could show off. Ansa detested the whole new secrecy as old, because he had returned to the same ugly moments in class; especially people like Okoro the gorilla, the disturbing teacher Mr. Bade nicknamed as Cane. who always find fault with students and willing to flog at any slight mistake, the musical hip-hop group ‘Rhymers’, Eze the die-hard contestant with Jimi in Chemistry class and the nicknamed Queen bee who is Caro Jimi’s girlfriend.
Jimi was exceptionally loved by all apart from being good in his academics, he was also a toast when it comes to sporting activities in school. Ansa took pride in him that he boasts of him. The only thing Ansa could do is to paint. He possesses diverse talents with his friend Jimi. One of their friends lived in the same street with them she’s known as Nene Ekpo. a plump girl with short plaits that makes her have a round face.
Nana greeted Ansa and shared a secret she’s earnest napped about the new girl Efua who’s street a stone thrown to their houses that the new girl joins the SS3 students soon.
After school Jimi relaxes behind a block of class rooms, an empty class where he eases off the tension that has encumbered him lately.
The thought of his brother Wole entered him and several moments they had shared together, especially times they stored against their eldest brother Femi. The changes that has taken over Wole baffle him to sore that he wonder what may be of him soon after all Wole has passed through in hairs expulsion from the university, his waywardness the last time he visited by forging father’s sign at me to his account as he made away with some huge amount of money. He resolved in his mind that nothing would bother him anymore as he has a lot face with in the future. While he’s in that thought something jostled him abruptly which is the head boy summoning him for perfects meeting with the principal at his office.
As they were about to enter the principal office they stumbled into two persons – an old woman dressed in a native attire and the other a young lady who had an unexplainable look not wearing uniform. Seyi asked Jimi who are they? Don’t know – Jimi muttered.
