JOINING HIGHSCHOOL
Three people walk through the gates of Kambiri mixed boarding high school. Two of which are female and look older than the young man that they are with.One of the females who looks older than the two is carrying a metallic box and is dressed in a red dress with a black leather jacket. She checks in at the gate as Syphrose Amiani,mother to Mwakwi Bonventure and her business there is to enroll her son to school.The other woman appears slightly younger than Syphrose and she signs in as Suzan Amiani,aunt to Mwakwi Bonventure and her business there is to enroll her nephew. Suzan is dressed in a black skirt that reaches slightly below her knees and a white blouse. Syphrose and Suzan are slightly light skinned as compared to Bonventure. Bonventure is dressed in a grey trouser, a white shirt, a green-white stripped tie and a green pullover. He is carrying a bag. They go through the admission successfully and it is now evening and they are sitted under a tree.
"My son,"Syphrose starts talking,"we have brought you this far so that you can focus on your studies.Please focus on that and do not disappoint us."
"I won't disappoint you mum, I promise I will do my best."
"And don't be scared about the big boys if they try to bully you just report them don't retaliate just because you have a black belt in karate training."Suzan says while smiling.
"Very true my son, don't use those lessons to fight others because I know that you have a fiery temper,please try to control it for our sake and yours too. Here is your pocket money it should be enough bt if it won't just give me a call through any teacher's phone."Syphrose speaks as she hands him the money.
They hug and Syphrose almost crys but she holds her tears in.Bonventure is full of mixed reactions because he doesn't know what to expect.
It's around quarter to four when two boys suddenly approach the trio,"Good evening? My name is Jacob and my friend's name over here is James. You must be Bonventure,right?"Jacob who looks much bolder than James breaks the silence.
"Yes I am,"Bonventure answers with a firm voice that reveals his nervousness."How may I help you?"
"We have been asked to show you to your sleeping house,"Jacob says.
"Go ahead boys show him where he will be sleeping."Suzan tells the boys.
"Son we need to get going now please be a good boy and remember no fighting in school okay?"Bonventure's mother tells him as he hugs him.
"Goodbye champ, we'll see you at home okay when you come for half term okay?"Suzan says as she hugs him.
Suzan and Syphrose start their journey as and Bonventure escorts them to the gate and he stands there watching as they disappear into the horizon. He is filled with mixed feelings and doesn't know whether to cry or laugh since he has never attended school away from home. He masters up his courage and decides that whatever comes he shall handle it his own way. He then turns and walks majestically to where he left Jacob and James standing only to find a surprise waiting for him. He does not find the two boys there and neither does he find his metallic box and bag.
