School Genius Experiences The Art Of Feeling

Last warning!!!

"Miss Soya fainted this morning when the assembly was about to begin and she fell off the school podium, it was a very horrible scene Fred " Brandy said , sounding like someone who was about to cry, like he always did when bad things happened. Miss Soya was a Religious studies teacher. She was average height, fair, abit chubby, with a very firm and pretty face. She was always on long, wine curly braids that matched her skin colour perfectly, and she was the only single female teacher in the school. Miss Soya was so beautiful that some of the married male teachers still eyed her and she sometimes was thrown papers that contained nasty things while teaching her students. That, she didn't take lightly anyway. All her students loved her and always said she was their best teacher because she was so kind and soft. She had once bought Fred lunch at school when he had refused to take his food from home because he was angry over something that happened that morning at home, and he developed terrible stomach ache at school. "Rumor has it that she is pregnant" Brandy continued. "Ha, that can't be" And for a moment, he wondered how people could be so cruel. 'So was that why the assembly was cancelled?" Fred finally asked. "Of course, it was really a terrible scene. Most of the Junior students started crying and had to be taken into their classes to be calmed down ". "That reminds me, the principal called you several times, to organize the prefects to guide the students to their classes and keep them there, before he realized you weren't on the assembly " Brandy said. That was actually the most terrible part according to Brandy. And of course, it had to be. The principal didn't tolerate any form of laxity. Especially not from the head boy of such a prestigious school. Laridon College was the best school in town, very highly placed and expensive. Their mode of teaching was different and very much more effective than any other, so that they turned out hundreds of champions each year. Their population too was very very high. That was the first time such a thing would happen to Fred concerning lateness and he wasn't even late for a normal student. He hoped he would get away from it, and he quietly blamed Mina and grandma for everything. "Let's go Fred" said Brandy, and they both walked gently to their classes. Each one saying nothing. Brandy and Fred had been friends for 5 years , and everyone found it very strange for a person like Fred who hardly interacted with people to make such a strong , long term friendship with Brandy who was the class clown and was very very social. Although they were both very intelligent, it still didn't feel right. For those previous five years, although they changed classes, they still always sat together and as things were going, they were definitely going to win the "Best friends of the set" award. Their relationship had also survived many turmoultous times that involved heated arguments and disagreements. Something unseen kept them together.

Everything was settled quickly, and news reached the students that Miss Soya was already stable at the hospital. All the students were very happy except for those who were the rumour bearers. They couldn't even say a word. Classes went smoothly and before long, it was time for recess. "Graaaan!" blared out the school's alarm bell. Each time Fred heard the siren, it reminded him of when he was the school timekeeper and had to labour tirelessly in making sure the bell always went whenever it should. Although some people thought it was easy peasy because there was a remote control to the siren. Those same people didn't know the conscious efforts he made to always be at alert and check his black wristwatch very often in order not to miss the time, even though he did on several occasions. He thanked God in his heart for seeing him through that period,as he brought out his food flask from his bag. Brandy also began to eat. They spoke silently and laughed very loudly and heartily as they ate from their different flasks. They class became rowdy as it used to be during recess. "Hello Fred" said Rita as she walked towards Fred's seat. Rita's skirt was short and teachers had always complained about it but she seemed not to even care. She was a lively, intelligent and beautiful girl. Sometimes, she would be the class clown and other times, she would just be soo cool and gentle. She was a closer friend to Brandy, than to Fred because Brandy was obviously more friendly and constantly made new friends, compared to Fred who kept a straight face almost everytime and stuck to his old friends. "Hi guys",she said in almost a whisper. "How are you?" they chorused. "I'm cool", she replied, and immediately say on Brandy's desk and immediately started speaking about something that happened the previous day on their way home from school. They always went home together alongside some other people which included mostly their siblings and other friends who's houses were in the same direction. Fred sat there mute and eating his food silently. Thy giggled and laughed sometimes,and spoke gently some other times. "My stomach is grumbling, let me go and eat" Rita said and stood up, starting to leave. As she was going, Fred heaved a sigh of relief loudly. Immediately Rita heard that, she came back, laughed loudly and walked back to Brandy's desk as if following a particular order. Brandy burst into laughter at what happened.She began ranting at Fred's "fluctuating" behavior, while Brandy was just smiling and persuading her to forget about it and go to eat. He was eventually successful in convincing her to go and eat. Immediately she stood up, she hit Fred on the head, but he just kept his ego and watched her march triumphantly to her seat at the front. He knew deep down that he could have said an insultive word to her. He didn't like the way she interrupted their jolly moment. "Why did you do that?" Brandy asked, immediately she left. "She talks too much" Fred said and faced his food. He murmured something about what they were talking about not being interesting. A junior student immediately rushed into their class as if being chased. He looked like someone that had been playing in sand for the past half hour, even though it was just ten minutes into the break time. With his white shoes almost turning brown and his half tucked in shirt, showing his underwear, and sweat tripping down his brows. As he stepped into the class, he began looking nervous like every junior student would when they enter the senior students' class. He scanned through and began walking towards Fred swiftly. In contrast to his initial nervousness. The whole class fixed their gazes on him as he walked while some guys at the back seat were making jest of him loudly because of how he looked.

"Good morning Head boy, the principal asked me to call you now." he said to Fred. He was obviously very serious, and immediately started walking away.
