LOVING THE BROKEN HEART

Pregnant

It has been one hell of a week for the seniors of Gregory college about to take their exams. After Amy resume few days later it was the arrest of two external students, even the teachers still talk about the news and don't know how to process it, all they knew was"a robbery".

The exams was going well as everyone was busy studying hard for the first English paper, it was going to be paper one, as few were tense and the unserious ones were not minded as they take pleasure in disturbing others trying to read at the last minute. As usual the class was silent, this was not the senior class Amy knows of, it changed and she has a feeling it has to do with her appearance everyday, because on getting to the school everyday she always heard their laughter and screams with the peculiar voice of Marcus yeah the perpetual noise maker but on reaching the doorframe always comes silence which in turn dampens her mood and have to go in with a bowed head.

An hour later, the class teacher came in to announce the invigilator has arrived and always as usual ask for good behavior amongst us. A tall, huge ,brown-skinned lady came inside the class with a pair of glasses on her oval face . she looks like a lady in her 50's and guessing from her big stomach might have given birth to a lot of children.

" Good morning, student, I'm Mrs Florida but you can call me ma'am flora , but I don't see reasons for anyone of you to call me as if you need anything, you should raise up your hands, is that clear"

" Yes ma" chorused the whole class.

she started distributing the exam papers after telling us her ' do's and don't '. The exam was going smoothly until I felt like throwing up, I raised my hands up as instructed by the invigilator, she turned towards me and ask me what's the problem, I told her I need to use the restroom, she looked at me for a while and replied 'no' . And I was loss for words, I mean,I was confused and raised up my hands again and the whole process repeated again,but this time I refuse to give up and asked her why, she looked at me for what seems like a millennium and said I was using that as an excuse to go outside and cheat. I was dumbstruck, and didn't know what to say, and the invigilator continued saying " I know student like you, pretending to go to the restroom, only for you to look for answers any where and come back, pretending to be good student but guess what, you are a fraud, to yourself, your parents and the society at large, proving to be something you are not, that's why we have doctor's killing patients in the hospital cause they didn't read when others are reading, they go about cheating, and we have a lot of kidnappers and armed robbers....."

" stop" Amy screamed at the top of her voice, rolled her wheelchair to the invigilator desk and drop her answer sheet, " I'm done, now can I be excused" she said all the with anger.

" who are you to raise your voice at me, the invigilator asked then pick up a red pen and wrote -40 for cheating. seeing this Amy was so angry the more and was about to rebuke the lady but she felt an uneasy feeling in her stomach and just rolled her wheelchair out of the class. " I'm talking, you are walking out of me," Mrs Florida said, stood up and dragged Amy back inside the class , Amy feeling uneasy didn't even retaliate but just pushed her chair out of the class but the woman wouldn't let her go saying " because you are retarded doesn't make you disregard your elders" and dragged Amy's wheelchair back into the class and gave it a u- turn facing her ready to give her a slap but never know what was coming, the twirling of the chair into a u- turn, Amy was about to give her a scolding of her life but when she open her mouth it was load of vommit being poured on the invigilator body, giving a distinct design on her dress. The whole class gave out a scream as some of the students started laughing till they fell of their desk," yes .. she deserved it... good for her... very foolish woman... disregard elders ke.... retarded punishment... " were all she heard being her.

Footsteps came running in, as the class teacher as well as some other teachers followed into the class.upon seeing the mess, asked the invigilator what happened, she said pointing at Amy ' this girl has no manners, not only did she not have manners she have no regards for elders, just look at my dress, look at what she did to my dress ' she was so pissed off that she went forward to Amy and gave her a resounding slap on her cheek, the teachers around were shocked and she was trying to give her another one when her hands were held by the class teacher, pleading for her to stop and can't she see the girl is on a wheelchair and might not be doing well or might be sick. the invigilator turned to the class teacher saying' you people are the reason she doesn't have manners, tolerating her because she's retarded" another teacher said she's not retarded and only suffering from an accident.

The nurse in charge of taking care of Amy soon received the news and came rushing by, she saw Amy covered in thrown up and asked her what happened and why she throw up, she said she felt uneasy at her stomach and the feeling has not gone but only subside a little after throwing up the nurse was surprised to see hand mark on her cheek and asked her how it happened she said nothing but looked at the invigilator.

The nurse stood up from squatting at Amy side and asked the lady why she slapped her. The invigilator was still blabbing about how the student have no respect for elders and how rude she was to talk back at her. the nurse and the lady were having a heated argument, the teacher tried to calm the situation and take them out of the class but they wouldn't burge.

" my head, my head , it hurts" Amy held her head feeling a loud banging inside her head at the same time she was feeling her intestines squeezing inside, the feeling was like what she experienced was it was like a de' ja vua , she was certain and the feeling was when she was r***d , she felt really dizzy and everything was spinning around like the whole building was about to fall or the world about to come to an end. She struggled to push her wheelchair with one hand as the other was still holding her head as if trying to hold it in balance and not to fall. she decided to abandoned the wheelchair has she have no strength in making it move and feel on the floor crawling with her legs and her hands, like a baby till she was out of the class and in the corridor upstairs, she held a rod at the railings of the building. 'no, I'm i going to die again, is this the end of my life, I thought I could still hold on, still be persistent till after my senior exams, even if I have to grow up without getting married, at least I have my family.'

' ting, ting, ting'

'. ting, ting, ting'. The nurse stop talking hearing the sound and turn around only to see Amy gone and the wheelchair empty, she was scared , she quickly went out only to see her sprawl on the floor. An ambulance was sent for immediately and was sent to the hospital instantly. That was when the lady invigilator calm down with her eyes wide open as she was scared and don't know what to do. What if she loose her job because of this incident, what is she going to do .

Once again Mr and Mrs winehouse were at the hospital, this time the they were on their knees begging the doctor to do everything they can to save their daughter, that they are not going to let her attend school again. The doctor told them to follow him to his hospital with a serious face and told them of the new discovery.

When Amy woke up she saw her parents by her side, but they were not looking to happy. she knows she must have make them to feel sad and she told them she was going to drop out of school to make them less worried. But they told her it is fine if she wants to continue school, she was shock and asked her parents if they are sure that she might still be rushed to the hospital. with a gloomy look they told her what the doctor said, and she screamed "pregnant".
