03.03

I wonder why I feel so much pain, my knees hurt, my eyes are heavy, my waist joint seems to be out of place. Wait!! What's today's date?! *now cleaning my eyes*, how did I wake up in my Crane house wear shirt and shorts and why am I in such footwear but really the calender says 03 March and today is "Thursday". I can hardly see the year, I feel so odd and it seems I have been on ma knees for the last 3-4hours and I can also bet this is Mrs Kayode's office the Vice Principal Admin.

My mind is getting clearer by the second, I had a bit of sleep last night because of my physics test. Right now I feel like shit, my 6 years of being a saint in this school has just been ruined. I regret all my acts, if only I had listened to my inner man, I lost my temper, I lost my cool, my head feels outa my body because I doubt if I used it to think before all my actions.

1330hours: I was seated in the physics lab working on my C.A test when I heard a deep but small voice. It was Carl asking me for the value of G (the earth's gravitational force which is equal to 6point something multiplied by 10 raised to power 31), you can now applaud me for that. At first I didn't want to answer him but he was persistent so I told him but unfortunately for me Mr Solabi was passing by.

Hegbele *in thick yoruba H factor accent* go and submit your note, you were cheating, I am sorry sir I wasn't cheating he asked for the value of G and I told him.'I repeat go and submit' and without an atom of thought I threw my 40leaves note at the man on the table and walked out straight into my class year 12 yellow. I am vibrating really badly and he walks up to me to go back and pick up my note, I hesitate for about 5mins, when I can no longer stand my classmates begging and all that ish that 'we re in our finals I go back angrily to pick it up meanwhile my girlfriend Seun is busy crying her eyes out for my deeds in the physics lab but why?!

With boiling anger, I walk straight to the hostel despite the fact that school hadn't ended. I didn't even bother answering Mallam Akhmed the maiguard at the hostel gate. Straight to my bed and I am pondering on the 0/10 I am going to get in my well read for test. We are having eba for lunch so I don't even bother going to the dinning hall. Before I can blink I hear my name and its time for sports. I jump down from my double-decker bed grab my red nike footie and head to the bathroom to wash my face.

Two juniors abusing their mothers but I hear only the year 7 student, so I wash my face I don't care about their explanations because I want to believe only what I heard initially, I tell him to ride okada "its a kind of punishment" and off I go out of the hostel. Getting back from sports I get into my room and see year 10 boys eating contraband, I tell them to lie bare chested on the cold floor and I take off for a quick shower. Getting back to my room Ita is not participating in the punishment because he feels he is too big, ok Ita kneel down and he does it on one knee. Without thinking I grab my belt like a Samurai and give him a slash on his back, he stands with fury on his way to report but with a peaceable heart I try to make peace, I grab his left hand he forces himself free but of course with some flesh missing due to my witchy long nails.

Everything seems so odd, everywhere I take a step there is one mistake or a bit of trouble waiting for me I wonder why?! I am now in my crane house wear heading to the library to open it for final year students to read for their exams (I am library prefect by the way). I have not even left the hostel before I find out the matron is looking for me, I ignore and head for the library but my geography teacher Mr Akintade interrupts me on the way that I am needed in the VP admin's office asap....finally everything is taking shape at least I know how I found myself kneeling down there.

Kneel down and obey before complain, one of the most useless statements I have ever heard of. It took about 4 teachers and the matron who I still believe is a witch to bring me down like Goliath to my damn knees. They claim I almost got the year 7 student dead due to the fact that he was in an okada mode for hours, before they even finish talking Ita comes with his bleeding hand and slashed back. I am guilty as charged, there is no turning back from this, I have to face the consequences. I was on my knees, I was thinking hard, hurting my head trying to take the wheels of time back. This is forever my worst day cause I believe there can never be another of such I will probably kill myself if it happens again.

Wait!! What's today's date?! *now cleaning my eyes*, how did I wake up in my crane house wear shirt and shorts, why am I wearing trekkers but really the calender says 03 march and today is also a "Thursday". Wow how time flies, today is actually 03 March and its also thursday but there is a but I am 6years in the future!!
