This is getting out of hand. How can three notes be missing at the same time? Notes to three compulsory subjects.

I didn't misplace them, i am not a tardy person, it was definitely stolen!

There had been mild cases of thefts in SJC but i had never fallen a victim. Someone stole my note and this is going to make me cry because we are in test week.

Immediately i finished writing my maths test, i made up my mind to report the issue to my form teacher, he would be able to help me in this situation.

On stepping out of the hall i was met with Theresa and Bankole who were staring at my distraught form in confusion.

"I refuse to believe you failed the test because you were just writing and solving equations. I saw you collecting extra sheets" she pointed her index finger to me accusingly.

I smile at her reaction to my worried form.

"Am not worried about the test"

"Good cause we know you aced it" Bankole smirked but it fell off when i refused to join in his joke. "what is wrong?"

"Some of my notes are missing, and I have a feeling it was stolen" I said. I can't write a new note, Biology note was giving me the chills already.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded.

"Physics, Chemistry, Biology. The three are missing"

"Wawu... Three compulsory subjects?" I nodded "but who could have done that?" he asked but i don't even know the answer to the question.

Theresa looks lost in thought for a while before looking at the two of us.

"Let's go"

By the end of the day, my missing notes were found at the back of the school hall, all rumpled and torn up. In fact, it was done in a way that it would be useless to the person who took it and even me as the owner.

Who could have done this?!

I stared at the books or what was left of it in my hand as i felt a hot searing pain, like a constriction in my heart. I am so angry, so mad right now that i wanted to cry.

"Are you alright?"

I look up at Ejiro with pained murderous eyes, he flinched a little.

"Are you seriously asking me that question?!" I snapped at him as tears pooled in my eyes.

"You are not" he deadpanned looking sorry for me, he sighed walking towards me, reaching for my arms in other to pull me up from the dirty ground but i refuse to budge "Let's go. So we can do something about this matter"

"No... Just let me wallow in my sorrows and think of the person who did this to me"

"Sitting on the floor like someone whose loved one died will not help the matter on ground" he reasoned.

"Okay... What do you suggest i do? How am i going to write these notes?" I bewailed.

I spent so much time keeping my notes up to date. The person who did this must really hate me.

"Let us report it to the school authorities. Something should be done about it and i hope they catch the culprit" he said in a sort of way to pacify me but it was not working.

He grabbed my arm lifting me off the floor at once. I gathered the torn and shredded parts of the notes.

I know someone did this to spite me. The person actually left the three notes at the same place, all shredded and torn up.
