"10%," Donald answered immediately. after the English teacher warned "Correct!" The principal shouted excitedly."Wow!!!!" Jake screamed joyously."Donald Benjamin! Donald Benjamin!! Donald Benjamin!!!" The students chants.The principal's would not be heard if he is to say anything. He stand and watch the students chanting for more a minute. The student's voices finally reduced, "Justice all the way!" Jake screamed one more time.Sandra was standing with an expression which clearly showed that she is neither happy nor angry."Please calm down and hear the results before jubilating. Are we not going to class today?" The principal asked.The principal signal Mr Caleb to come up to the front and announce the results while he steps aside "Hello students!" Mr Caleb said with smiles on his face."Hi sir!" The students responded with happiness in the voices.Mr Caleb quickly collect a paper which contains the result of the quiz and walk back to face the students."At this point, we have c
Sandra kept quiet as if she didn't hear the question pose to her."Hey Sandra, why are you silent?" Jessica asked."I don't know how I feel about this whole things" Sandra said. "Really?" Jessica asked."Yes. How do you want me to feel about it - happy or angry?"Both Jessica and Clara look at each other in dismay. "That means someone is already in love with Alex," Jessica teased.Sandra gave her a look that obviously shows that she dislike the joke, "Never! She can't love Alex" Clara said with a serious face."Am not in love with Alex yet but am still thinking about it," Sandra said."Really, are you serious?" Clara asked with seriousness in her face and tone."What do you even want me to do?" Sandra asked Clara."Fight! Fight!! For whom you love," Clara said with a low voice to avoid being heard by other students."Really? Fight? For who exactly? Donald who have moved on since. Did he also fight?" Sandra asked with tears rolling down her cheeks"Hey! Its alright. We talk about this
Sandra felt a tremendous suck in her thoracic region. She gasp immediately she sees the golden wrist watch Alex presented. Her hands began go flutter.She could be seen obviously lost in a deep thought as she knows that accepting the gift from Alex will eventually pave way for him into her life, 'Accepting this gift could mean a lot as it will invariably denotes that I have accept him. What do I do? I may be making a fatal mistake by accepting Alex today. But Donald doesn't care about me anymore. Do i need to still waist my time thinking about the possibility of him coming back for me? He is obviously afraid of the my mother and he would never want me an inch close to himself again. Beside, he had chosen Jessica. Should I accept Alex? Should I decline? Fuck! Am confuse right now.' Sandra thought to herself as she stares on a couch in the sitting room without actual focus."Sandra, are you okay right now?" Mrs Susan asked after a long time of Sandra's inactivity and pause."Ye... Yes,
"What on earth the fuck is this!?" Alex exclaimed from behind Sandra.Sandra slowly bent and pick up the wrist watch. The glass on the face of wrist watch shattered completely.Donald became tensed and worried. 'What a fuck?' Donald thought to himself.Sandra hold the wrist watch in her hand as her heart beat repeatedly. She don't want to come into contact with Donald in such manner again. She could not look up at Donald could she say anything. Her mouth was short as if a glue was used on her lips."What have you done Donald?" Alex asked angrily.Donald stood mute. He don't know what to say. He know that he has gotten into trouble."Sorry, I didn't see you guys coming," Donald said. "Really? Sorry you said? Can sorry have anything to do in this? Just take the damn watch and pay the money right fuckin' here" Alex said with anger in his voice as he quickly grap the wrist watch from Sandra and forced it into Donald's right palmSandra did not say a word as she stand watching them with a
"Come back Clara," Jake said immediately she turn to go.She showed unwillingness to stop but slow down. "Please come back, its not the best way to solve this problem" Jake said.Slowly, Clara turn back and sit down."I asked you to come back because Sandra wasn't the one who asked him to pay," Jake explained."Who asked him to pay then?" Clara asked."Alex claimed to be the one that bought the wrist watch for Sandra, and he said that Donald must pay," Jake explained with a low voice."When and how did Alex got a wrist watch for Sandra?" Clara asked rhetorically out of confusion."Anyways, where is Donald now," Clara asked referring to Jake."I believe he is in Mr Caleb's office" jake answered "How much did he said Donald should pay for the wrist watch" Clara asked "$5000" Jake answered immediately"$5000?" Clara exclaimed"Please lower tour voice. I want us to help Donald because I know that his mother cannot be able to afford such amount of money" jake said Clara paused for some
"Donald, do you know that what you are saying is unreasonable? Just take this money. I was just trying to see your reaction when I say that we were two that contributed to this money. I am the only one involved in this money," Jake said as he hold Donald's left hand and pushed the money into his palm.Donald became confuse and surprised."Thank you so much Jake." Donald said dragging jake into his arms, hugging him tightly.Just then, the English teacher came into the classroom."Good morning sir!" the students greeted in chorus."How are you all?" the English teacher asked."Fine sir!" the students chorused.Donald quickly ran to his sit."I will like to congratulate our new head boy on his new position and his Victory yesterday" Mr CalebAll the students start cheering as some stretch their hands, pointing at Donald. "The Pythagoras" some students chanted"All we want from you is that you should be of good example to your fellow students. A leader always lead by example. Be of good
"For you of course. What is wrong with that?" Alex said with his eyes fixed on the road."You must be joking. In fact, I am not taking anything like gift from you again," Sandra said with anger in her voice."Am... Am sorry. I Don't mean to offend you," Alex apologized, stuttering.Sandra kept him quiet through we h rest of the journey home.***When Donald got home, he was looking stressed, even though he was helped to pay Alex for the damage, the trauma he suffered at the time of the incident still shows in his mood.His mother, Mrs Linda is a person who quickly detects the mood of Donald. When he is not okay but he pretend to be, his mother knows very well."Donald, what is he problem with you," Mrs Linda asked after she sees that Donald wasn't focusing on the book he was reading for a long time."Am fine mum," Donald lied."You are all I have, and am all you have. Just tell me what it is," Mrs Linda said. Donald took a deep breath and clear his throat."Mum, I need to tell you th
"Am sorry, I can't have your back anymore. I don't want people to associate me with what both yourself and Alex are doing," Clara said with a serious looking emoji.Sandra felt pissed and confused.'Really? Am I going to loose Clara because of all these?' Sandra thought to herself.***Juliana in her bed the same night, she also though about the fact that Alex got Sandra a wrist watch, 'Does that mean that Alex and Sandra are fully an item now? I never really thought that could be possible. Since Sandra have stared taking gifts from Alex, she have truly fell in love with him. I believe Alex will never need me again. But I feel for Alex, does he even care about me? He is always bent on getting along with Sandra. But it look like he desires to have me to himself. If not, how could he rush me to his house from the bar the other day when I was drunk? I think I need to talk with him. I need to know where the whole thing between us is heading to,' Juliana thought to herself.Juliana pick up
