Chapter Five : The Final Examination

Maram! Please, what is the answer to the number two question Maraz whispered.

Hey!! The invigilator yelled, saying "this is my final warning anyone I caught I will seize the person's paper and he or she will be sent out".

Maraz's paper was still blank. She murmured "wicked invigilator", not knowing that another invigilator was behind her, she was asked to stand up and the invigilator was told what she said .

“ He angrily said I will show you the real definition of wickedness”.

Her script was collected from her and delayed her for about 30 minutes at the end of the 30 minutes, the invigilator opened her answer sheet and only her examination number that was written.

“Come and collect your empty sheet. Your sheet is an exact replica of your brain and sit down in the front here” he said exasperatedly.

The examination hall was crowded because many schools merged with Maram’s school.

Towards the end of the examination, the tension was more palpable as students sit at their desks, eyes fixed on the exam papers before them and doing everything to meet up with the time allocated for the examination.

The clock ticked loudly, marking the passage of every time. Amidst this serious atmosphere, a few students glance around nervously.

Despite having a tough invigilator, the student subtly passes notes and whispers their classmate, their hands moving quickly to avoid being caught. Another student, seated further back.

Pulls out a phone device, secretly and discreetly checking, looking up for the answers as they cast surreptitious glances at the mean invigilator.

The invigilators, vigilant yet overwhelmed by the sheer number of students involved in malpractice, struggled to monitor every corner of the hall with wanton eyes.

Maram quickly raised her hand and a invigilator came close. She told him that she was done writing and she want to submit her paper because she mustered.

Before she could finish the sentence she was noticed to be breathing rapidly and shallowly.

Eyes can become glassy or unfocused, with a heightened sense of nausea and she took hesitant steps, trying to stand up and was covering her mouth instinctively as if something wants to forcefully leave her mouth but unable to suppress the urge. She ran to the messy restroom overused by the students and a greenish substance was coming out from her mouth. She washed her mouth and face and thereafter leaned against the wall and one of the teachers was asking her if she was not feeling fine before then.

She said these symptoms just started about 3 days ago. She was assisted to sit outside the hall waiting for her friends to finish,so that they could change into a party outfit.

The surrounding atmosphere seems to fade as their body reacts to the overwhelming sensation.

She sighted that the big hall was decorated for an end of the year grand party and send forth party.She recalled how she had been collecting awards in the previous party.

Maraz was highly infuriated, knowing fully well that Maram had been waiting for her outside. She poisoned the mind of others girl against Maram and went straight to change their clothes into party dress.

Maram's demeanor reflected sadness and worthlessness, as she navigated a world where she received little affection or support.

At school, she was overlooked by her peers, especially the one called her best friend, further deepening her sense of ineptitude but only got solace in her books.

Home life was similarly harsh, with dismissive or critical remarks from her father feeling unloved.The only savior she had was her mother.

Her friends were hilariously laughing out loud. one of them purposely raised her voice and shouted “she thought she will win the scholarship” See her looking miserable See, she doesn't even have any boy friend ,all the girls were mean except one of the girls that faced Maraz and told her “I thought she is your best friend”.

She replied, our friendship has expired!! With a loud and despiteful voice ensuring that Maram heard her.

Maram couldn't even change her outfit because she was so tired and also she had only one outing clothes which everyone have known that cloth.

The hall was well decorated with a booming sound, students were running from one angle to another,the hall was dazzling with light, rehearsal for different shows was in progress.

Anticipation filled the air of the room.

A sound emanating from the hall “1,2,3 testing the microphone”.

The junior students sat down and gazing around and catching up with glimpses of the event, Parents well seated

An unusual group of people was rushing from the office of the principal to the hall with so much happiness on the face of Mr Oyos, international Bodies, influential people and a lady that was sighted during the international competition was part of the entourage.

They entered the hall , tranquility followed immediately. Students were trying to sit down before the principal would spot them.

One of the people that entered the office collected the microphone.

“I am Mr Yemis the representative of the international body in charge of the last competition.I am here to right the wrong and straighten a crooked way and disassociate corruption from our just concluded competition” he said with a mean look.

The principal collected the microphones. People were still eager to know what was happening,Mr Oyos continued. He said during the last competition". It is glorious and breathtaking to inform you all that our school won in the last competiton but because of corruption and impunity, it was gifted to the school that bribed the organizers with the highest money.

A similar thing happened last year's competition and some petitioned against it,the organizers secretly installed CCTV and camera crew which helped to review the results before sending rewards to the winner.

During the review it was clearly seen that this great school and Miss Okete Maram won and she will be sponsored to study overseas.

Everyone was looking for Maram. She was dragged out with joy by her classmates from her hiding place.

The joy in the students' faces was so contagious.

They handed over the certificate to the school and gave Maram hers. This is unspeakable and a leap of joy coupled with her earlier symptoms made her slumped and she fell down, and the certificate was immediately picked up by a teacher. Everyone started running towards her direction.

Teachers calling out for Help! Help!! Help!!

Please don't over crowd here. Some turned their clothes into fan.

Hey Maraz, your friend is dying. She angrily replied “And so”!!!.
