The Register

Chapter 1

I walked to school thinking of how Sir Eugene will react to my exciting news. Haha! As I stepped into the school's hallway, my best friend, Claire  rushed to me in excitement.
"Girl how did it go" Immediately, I looked at her face which was anxious for my revelation.
"Exercise Patience" I playfully slapped her across her face. Just then, I spotted Sir Eugene walking into the school like the amazing teacher he was.
"Sir Eugene!" I shouted, to gain his attention with which earned a few stares.
"Yes, Ella. What can I do for you?"he asked with his usual sarcastic tone.  I just started laughing again as I approached him.
"Hey Sir Eugene!" I heard my other friend's voice coming from behind Sir Eugene. It was none other than Emelia.
"Good morning sir-"she didn't even finish her sentence when sir Eugene told her to kneel down. I laughed so hard that I fell on my knees unintentionally.
"So you are laughing. Who gave you the right to laugh like that? Kneel down"he yelled playfully pointing his fingers downwards as a gesture for me to kneel. Oh my God, this teacher will not kill me. I knelt down giggling.
" Don't utter any word Clair,  else you will join them"Sir Eugene warned.
"Don't worry. I won't utter any word"Claire zipped her lips to show that. I just stared at her like she was the dumbest person on earth and started laughing again.
"You uttered words stupid girl, kneel down. Oya join me "I laughed pulling her to the floor. Sir Eugene again pointed his hands downwards towards the floor and did a suspicious eye.
"Sir Eugene our plan worked"I exclaimed proudly.
"The drink spilled.... I mean the malt poured on him" I couldn't contain my laughter. We all burst out laughing.
"Ah, so you bought the malt?" Sir Eugene asked surprised.
"Of course not"I said adjusting my knees on the floor to be comfortable.
"Daddy bought it. You think I will waste my five cedis on a malt that will be used for a prank? Come on," I laughed. Sir Eugene stared at me like he'd seen a ghost.
"Eiii Ella! Why? Why? Common five cedis. You are 'p33p33'" he placed both his hands on his head smiling amusingly and then laughing. They call me 'p33p33' because they think I'm stingy but in my opinion, I think im being resourceful.
"You dierr...stand up and tell me what happened"Sir Eugene said. Wow this was new, he would usually allow us to kneel down for a very long time but eii why... Maybe he is in a good mood today. Haha!
I saw Emelia stand up and immediately she stood up, Sir Eugene hit her forehead with his hand.
"Did I tell you to get up? I said Ella should. Will you and your big forehead kneel down?" He spoke with huge laces of sarcasm. I laughed till tears escaped my eyes. Don't joke with Sir Eugene if you dont want to kneel down .
