We arrived at school that morning dressed in the school attair.A short red skirt with white short sleeved top,a red bowtie and black shoe.I held my still curly hair up in a side pony tail with a red bow and red glittering hair clips.Vero let hers fall freely on her back but held up one side with red glittering hair clips.
We were both nervous as we walked into the school hall where all the freshmen were assembled.There were alot of new faces.Up on the stage was the head girl,Esther Henderson.A tall,dark skined girl with dark her and dark eyes.She wore a red verst on her uniform with "head girl" written on it.She explained the school rules and regulations to us.
She also taught us how things were done in the school.We were to be given our various classrooms according to the program we were to offer.Vero and I were offering science so we were placed in a science class.
At noon,after the mandatory Catholic noon prayer,Vero and I headed for the school canteen since it was lunch time.A senior called us and we went.She asked our names and where we were from.After answering all her questions she asked us to follow het to her class.
We naively went with the thought of making new friends.When entered the class,a brown skined girl with dark hair held in a pony tail with dark eyes and a name tag with "class prefect" written on it,asked us if we knocked and who allowed us to come in.Neither did we knock nor did anyone tell us to come in so as punishment,everyone present in the class at that juncture spanked us.
They were about 20 in the class then and their hands were so hard,it hurted real bad.The back of our hands became red with pain.It was the first time we were subjected to such a harsh treatment.Tears streamed down our faces even though we were cleaning them with our handkerchiefs.
One of the seniors asked us why we were so pretty.This was a rhetorical question but cause we didn't say anything but stood there looking at her teary eyed,she asked us to squat.
Just then two more freshmen girls were brought into the class and they had to face the same fate.After squating for sometime they asked us all to stand up and sing for them.We each sang shortly and they pushed us out of the class.
I lost my appetite and decided to head back to class since it was almost break over.Like wise Vero.When we entered our class and a tall fair skined senior with brown hair was seated in my chair.What did she want in our class and why was she seated on my chair?I went and stood by her not knowing how to ask her to get up.
"Yes!!How may I help you?",I heard her ask."Um...please...um..you're in my chair",I replied."So are you asking me to get up?",she asked clearly annoyed and before I could say anything in my defense,she commanded me to sit on the floor.I had no option but to sit.
After sometime she got up and asked me to stand up and sit on my chair.I felt so miserable and I couldn't wait for school to be over.Everyone was so sad in the class which suggested they all had similar fates.This was hell on earth,not a school.
When it was time for closing,I rejoiced but also felt pity for those stuck at school with those monsters.So sad.I wouldn't wish to be them.First day of school and I already hate the school.Hmmm.
The next couple weeks in school weren't easy for we freshmens and the seniors called it school life but I called it bullying,monstrosity,stupidity.An absolute outrage.Going to school became like cutting yourself with a knief.The pain was unbearable.I hated it.
