"Just go to the principal's office already, theify theify!"

"Turns out she's not just an examination malpracticer, she's also a nasty theif."

"Shut up there, thief!"

Entering the half-filled classroom, I sauntered to my seat without uttering a word to anyone. Mainly because I felt ashamed. I was being accused of theft just yesterday, it's painful.

My seat isn't at the back because I don't like the idea of being a backbencher. Neither is it at the front, because I didn't want to get too much attention. It was at the fourth role of the class, and there are eight roles in my lane. There's another eight roles and the other lane of the class, making sixteen roles.

So I'm just at the middle of the class, the safest place to be, right?

Wrong!

It was the safest place to be until our teacher, Mr Akin, asked Megan Uwaifo to seat on the fifth role last term. Yes, the role behind me!

I never get too comfortable on my seat because Megan might attack me from behind. I'm always afraid she might strangle me to death one day, with my tie. Which is why she was opportuned to frame me yesterday! But we don't always have classes together, she's a science student and I'm an art student.

Joy's seat isn't far from mine, it's just on the other lane, beside Megan's role-- so I felt even safer because she'd always have my back.

My gaze fell on the board while strolling to my seat, Mathematics!

Chai!

Mathematics is the worst subject on earth! And does it really have to be on first period? What is the universe trying to prove to me again? That I'm destined to suffer forever??

It's not like I'm not serious with my studies, I am, but I'm also a little lazy when it comes to studying. Which is why I just entered art class peacefully. People consider art to be the lowest class of all courses, but it's not that simple.

Literature is as hot as hell! Government notes will murder you!
CRS will take you two thousand years back in time.
History will only frustrate you more! You'll study about ancient people that you don't even know! Why go back to the past? CRS also takes us to the past, but for a reason- to know more about our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

What's history's reason?

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, so are you telling me those who study history don't repeat it? Can learning about history, prevent us from making mistakes? Most of all, why go back to the past?!!!!!!!!!

So art courses, aren't that easy. To be honest, no course is easy. It just depends on your focus, hard work and dedication. That's what yields a smart and serious student.

But obviously, people who are in science class are considered the smartest. Take Megan for example! She's only in science class to attract attention, not because she's actually smart. I'm not nosy, but I've actually seen her results before, last term to be precise. She failed almost all her science courses, but managed to squeeze a C4 in Biology.

Now that's someone who's willing to risk her education for fame and attention!

Speaking of witches, Megan and her crew were giving me nasty looks from their seats, the moment I sat down.
