I decided to write the book in a pov way but i guess i will be actually writing it exactly the way Treasure Island was written😂.I don't know,who knows?*shrug*
...................***************.........................
It's the dormitory the one facing the assembly ground(you should kno that it's where everything thanks place ,it's like a freaking auditorium).I enter slowly rolling my box up feeling like the steps I'm taking is a journey to only God knows where .
I quickly find out that they are 8 rooms and 2 wings of toilet and bathrooms.
Oshey, the dormitory is big,I'm actually being sarcastic because when I enter the room it actually feels like a pen.You kno the pig pen house,okay not literally but it's kind of tight when u expect 30 people with 15 iron bunks to fit into it.
I arrange my things with my sister,using the locker the wheelbarrow guy managed to carry here.My toiletries go up then my provison and sandals go down.
Yeah funny I have to hide my sandals in my locker unless it will be barbed .My bucket if possible infaxt everything excluding my school bag should be in that locker.
It's time for the goodbyes and I'm suddenly struck by the realization that this was it ,I was not going home everyday anymore.
"Bye,till mid-term break and be good",telling me that my sister hugs me.
"Mum will be here on Monday,don't worry"she wisphers to me and funny that makes me feel better not like i adored my mum or anything but at least i get to see her face.But it seems like a long time since today was just Friday
"Bye",I manage to keep the tears out of my voice knowing I will be crying anytime soon.
I quickly wave at her as she exits.At least she helped arrange my locker and did i forget to mention the only hanger allowed outside was my towel hanger.That's how bad it is .
I quickly remove the pathetic daywear and lay down on my bed,thinking how I'm the world I was going to make friends with anybody. With that I doze off.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I wake up to the sound of a girl chattering away.She's fair and from the looks of it she enjoys talking and laughing,She quickly waves at me.
And i actually find myself arranging her locker.
"I'm Joy and you",She asks looking at me with her outstretched Palm.
I quickly take it trying not to look weird but i didn't like taking so i quickly grumble out "I'm chinwe".
She quickly jumps up "omg!,I forgot my pocket money with my mum".
Turning back to me"Pls watch over my locker, I'm coming",with that she practically runs out of the door without checking to see if it was locker .
Shaking my head slightly, I lay down back and start looking at my environment.There were 8 bunks on my row and 7 bunks on the other row because there was an exit door there.There was a connecting door to the other room 3 that made creepy sounds as people opened it ..Who knew it was going to play a role later.
Waking up to the sound of a booming voice
.
I looked seeing a dark senior or prefect shouting .
"JSS1 GIRLS!",looking around.
We didn't answer instead we stared at each other with the same thought running through our minds that maybe she wants to punish us.
"When I say abuloma girls you will say' Yes,Prefect!,DO YOU UNDERSTAND !",her eyes going round the room as she shouted.
"YES PREFECT!",We chorused together.
"JSS1 GIRLS,ABULOMA GIRLS!",She shouted.
"Yes Prefect !",we screamed .
"That's good",looking obviously pleased.
"Junior girls!",She shouted again looking at us one by one.
"YES PREFECT!",they all shouted expect me: I was tired of shouting .
"I'm giving you 10 counts for you all to get ready to follow me to the dining hall for afternoon food",She quickly adjusted her glasses and went out of the room.
Quickly I wore my slippers,and took out my Biang-Biang plate from my bag.Heading out before she started counting.
Stepping out I noticed two things,one being I didn't have a friend and two the prefect was holding a cane. Oh yes,both senior students can flog using either a broken hanger /cane.
Done with counting she quickly lead us out of the dormitory.Noticing the shuffling of feets from us.
She turned to us with a scowl,"ABULOMA girls do not shuffle ,I don't want to hear that noise again"
The dining hall/multipurpose hall was directly opposite us. Stepping in i couldn't help but wonder what kind of food they would serve us.
