The punishment awaiting Zeb and his rivals were going to be announced after the spring break. And as we see it, the spring break is up and everyone has returned back to school.
We were gathered at Harp Halls having our religious morning activities like other African schools although we , the people of Seychelles were mostly not black and so were modernized and feel white. Some times obviously. And it's The announcement time. Here goes nothing.
"Welcome back from the holidays" Principal Kendrick said with a pleasing smile. "So we get back to business. As we all know for some years we've been dealing with the issue of homosexuality thanks to Master Rolland "he said as Zeb hid his face in shame .The poor boy "And after signing an undertaking never to be involved in it again, he still went ahead to seduce a boy some weeks back. So the disciplinary committee have decided that he is thereby expelled from Harp Bridge Heights and Gareth Kumen is suspended for a week for taking laws into his own hands while the rest of his gang suffer detention and community service for the whole month along with Gareth. Have a wonderful day everyone " he said as everyone departed to their various lessons.
But I saw Zeb run off in tears but not only me. The whole good gang. Problem?. He hasn't spoken with any of us even Zebula his twin sister before we left for spring break and that means that he has heard the stupid rumors but as a friend I'm going to be understanding and scratch that to be there for him and so we chased after him
"Zeb, Zeb, hold on "Yolanda said to get him to stop running as we all try to catch up with him. And he stopped. Thank goodness.
"What the hell guys? Can't you fuck off? "he said. Yup, he knows.
"Zeb we're so sorry, we tried our best " Yolanda said sincerely. But it didn't look like he believed we did our best.
"Did your best?, did your best?" he asked not really expecting an answer . "If you did your best you wouldn't have denied my support when I needed it the most and it was behind my back "he said in an aggravated tone.
"You really think we didn't support you? "Davies asked. "Yes, I don't. If you guys did I might not have been where I am right now, hypocrites " he said.
"Zeb, hear us out, would you? "Zebula said really sad about this. "Oh shut it, Zee. Just stay away from me .And I promise you ,all of you will pay for this "he said in a tone that was deadly.
"What can we do to repay you? " Santos asked not liking the issue at hand. Way to be an activist San. " Your blood will do just fine ".he said before spitting on the grass and running off to probably get his stuff and I was about to follow him until a hand stopped me.
"We've really tried our best, Drex. Let's head back. We're already late for our lessons " Leonard said and silence fell. Wait for it...
"You still talk? " Davies asked in shock. " I thought you woke up dumb. It's been almost a year since I heard your voice " he said.
" Maybe it's because I prefer talking when the things were discussing about are actually meaningful and that's one in a hundred consecutive topics " he said with an eye roll.
Santos walked up to as I turned to look at the place Zeb ran and vanished to. He patted me on my back before speaking "Leo's right. We've tried our best. Let's head back "he said. But then why does it feel it isn't enough?.
Back at the Rolland Mansion...
Zeb was back home ready for the worst. At least that's what he thought as he was seated in his living room with his very angry parents.
"Zeb, I can't believe this. After the undertaking, the counseling, you still did it again? Why? " Mrs Rolland said in a soft tone but made it obvious she's not happy.
