Chapter four: Woodville High School

Wayne's pov

Every one was all jittery to take this exam, I might have gotten good grades before but there was still this feeling of fear inside of me, before leaving the house my mom tried to calm me down, she told me that as long as I believe in my self that I would always triumph, she has been saying that mantra to me ever since I was a child.

We were all sitting down in our desk far apart from each other, everyone I'm their seat, the hall was a big building with a central board at the front end of the class, I coukd swe where Rufus and Regina were seated, Reginal had a smile on her face all through the day but Rufus wasn't cheerful, well he want a cheerful fellow to begin with in the first place.

The question paper was being shared amongst everyone, Regina gave me a thumbs up, and did the same to Rufus but he didn't act like he saw it.

“i trust all of you have received a question paper if you haven't raise your hand up to indicate," the invigilator said as no hands were raised, “since you all have received it you can begin" he announced as everyone started scribbling furiously at their note.

In about 2 hours every one was done, I got outside, the hall breathing in and out trying to calm down from the exam that we had just written, when a commotion could be seen, down the hall way, but I didn't care to go towards the direction well thatvwas until I heard Reginal say “i don't believe you he wayne wouldn't do such a thing" that completely got my attention, what the hell was going in there, I thought as i trotted down there.

My locker was open by the janitor and a bag of weed was in his hand it appeared to be from my locker, every one looked at me in disgust, I was already used to that look, it wasn't anything new to me, ever since I was little being poor meant that every one who is privileged saw it as an opportunity to torment, whoever they deemed as under them.

I walked up to them, “Mr wealth, you do realise that this bag of weed, truncates your chances of getting that scholarship if you're found guilty of being the one who put it there' the principal which was usually kind to me said sternly, I xouks tell that he was disappointed, but I didn't feel the impact because I knew that I didn't do it, and If anything Rufus could've planted that there because he was determined for me not to get that scholarship.

“princpal Mathews I can prove that Wayne didnt put that there" our teacher said, as he grabbed his phone and played a video of Rufus moving suspiciously and opened my locker, planting the substance, Immediately Rufus bolted from the hall way, as the janitor went after him, Regina looked at me, “Rufus might be a sicko but he dosn't mean any of this I think that I might have pushed him to it" she said

“there is no need making excuses for him, I know and I don't hold it against him" I said as she smiled “you are a good man Wayne, any lady would be lucky enough to date you" she said and I just smiled even though I looked shabby it'll be nice for a lady to see through my get up. I thought as she went after Rufus she really loved him, I smiled.

It was early in the morning I felt a tap on my leg, followed by someone calling on my name, I opened my eyes slowly as the piercing rays of the sun, stung my eyes, “lazy bag if bones get up from that bed you have got a new school to attend do you want to start with coming late" I heard my mom nag me, I liked it she was my mom.

“okay mom I'm up" I said as she smiled, “take a shower and come downstairs breakfast is ready, she nagged me, I like it she is my mom, I hurriedly brushed my teeth took my bath and came out, before my mom would come knocking again, I opened my shabby closet to reveal the emost beautiful clothe that I had in there it was woodvilles uniform, it consisted of a dark blue trouser, white long sleeve button up shirt, and a black suit jacket written at the left breast pocket Woodville in gold, it looked like a tuxedo, that's how expensive it was.

The scholarship only covered the tuition, and books but the uniform and it's accessories you are to get those ones yourself, the uniform cost a fortune and we completely exhausted our funds buying them, I still had to wear flip flops with the uniform it wasn't a good fit at all, but it was either that or walk bare footed.

I walked into the living room with my mom already waiting for me, “now there is my handsome young man_ she said as she took a really clear look at me as I came closer to her, as she noticed my leg wear her countenanced dulled, I noticed it and wondered whatvibwas going to do to get hwr mind of it, “mon the table looks delicious, it looks like you went a little extra for breakfast here" I said smiling,

“my son starts Woodville today, toubhave no idea how excited I am, eat up I don't want you to be late on your first day" I nodded and dig into my breakfast.

I had arrived at the big fold gate of Woodville it was out of this world, every one I saw coming into the school was driven in byvthowr personal chauffer, but I was on foot that alone made me insecure, there were different kinds of cars that drove into the school,

I was heading into the school through the pedestrian walk way when the security guard spotted me, “excuse ne young man with the wierd looking bag" he said referring to me, I was carrying a school bag that wasn't fancy at all,

“didnt you read the rules?"

I shhok my head in the negative, “aside from the school approved footwear nothing else is allowed to be worn by a student into this school, unless the student goes barefooted" he quoted and I gulped it's as if that rule targeted me specifically, I was sad as I took iff my flip flops and handed it over to the security man,

“youll get it at the end of the day" as I was still wondering how I was going to go barefoot until I can finally afford those shoes which could take a while, my thoughts where whisked a away as a pink Lamborghini sped into the parking lot of the school, now other cars maybe fancy but this one clearly took the cake, the driver hurriedly came down and I owned the back door, and the person that came out from the back seat was no doubt the most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life, no woman coukd hold a candle to her,

She had the most beautiful curly red hair that framed her face, as some tendrils of her hair dropped down on her face, she had ample chests that was so full it'll make you want to squeeze them, her body figure was certainly out of this world, God was seriously showing off when he created her, her uniform was similar to mine, except for the fact that she wore a not so long skirt that revealed part if her thighs, I couldn't stop my mind from wondering how she was going to feel in my arms.

I slapped that thought out if my head, she was pretty but I noticed that she had a face of stone, a lot of guys and even ladies oogled her body shamelessly, well I am also guilty as charged but she didn't say hi to any one she just walked in the building with an aura of authority around her,

A group of students walked by me as they stared at my barefoot and started laughing, I felt really ashamed, and so it begins.....
