CHAPTER 26

"Hadiza's Pov

I got to the school as early as possible to start my work and  I met with the headmistress.She showed me around the school and to other teachers even though the school wasnt a very big one which had like 70 students if not less.

"So I wouldn't have employed you but we are short of teachers and the only class that doesnt have a teacher is primary 1 because Mrs Bimpe is on Maternity leave and I understand you just need this for some time before you continue your studies",she said to me as we were making our way towards the classes.

  "Thank you very much ma".

"You must be wondering why I didn't interview you but I will tell you...you see I have never seen such a brilliant result such as yours and my cousin who is your aunty's friend spoke so well about you and I hope you wont disappoint me".

"Ahh not at all ma".

"So will you be able to handle primary 1?",she asked as we were already in front of the class.

  "Yes ma"

  "Good morning class",the headmistress greeted the primary 1 students.

"Good morning ma",they answered back in their tiny voice.

"Children this is your new teacher because Aunty Bimpe is not around".

The children looked very sad as they heard what the headmistress said.I realized their former teacher must have been very good to them.

"Over to you Miss Hadiza and please see me in my office before you go home and before I forget, the lesson notes are in the drawer so just check the timetable for the subjects you are taking",the headmistress said and left.

At first I didn't even know what to say to them.

"Good morning class..My name is Miss Hadiza".

"Good morning Aunty",they all greeted at once.

"When is Aunty Bimpe coming back?",a boy with a very sharp mouth asked me.

"Don't worry she will soon come back".

"Ok Aunty".

"So from here you will stand up and tell me your names one after the other",I said talking to the first girl in front.

The students in primary 1 were just 16.I think because I was new to them they didn't make it hard for me to control them.My aunty's friend had come to check me during the break time because when I came I didnt see her around.

"Hope you like it here?",she asked.

"Ahh yes ma but the children still don't feel free  with me but I understand that".

"This is just the first day don't worry with time they will get used to you,have you eaten?".

"Maybe that's true.Yes I have eaten I brought food from the house".

"Ok I am going ,I just said I should check on you".

"Thank you ma".

My aunty's friend never mentioned that she was the headmistress cousin maybe she had her reasons too.As time flew it was already closing time. Immediately the bell rung I quickly made my way to the headmistress office.I knocked and sh

  "Good afternoon ma",I greeted as I saw her going through some files.

"Ohh Good afternoon,take a seat and give me few minutes".

She took a while before she finally spoke to me and gave me some papers to fill and put  me through some things and how to go about them.

"So I will see you tomorrow and lateness is not in anyway tolerated here ..you can read through the papers yourself".

"Ok ma,Goodbye ma".

"Alright then".

It wasn't a long distance from the house to the school so I just took shortcuts to get home.I got home earlier than Aunty Aminat so I took my bath,cooked and slept for a while.

"How was your first day teaching Hadiza?",Aunty Aminat asked as I opened the door for her to come in.

"Good evening Aunty,it was ok".

"Ehnehn you sure?"

"Yes ma,I didn't know that your friend is the headmistress cousin".

"It will not have been easy to get a job there if she didn't know the person directly..what did you cook?",she said as she yawned and made her way to her roon.

"I cooked beans aunty".

"Ok shey you go drink garri abi you wan buy bread?",she asked.

"Anyone that you take".

"I am coming let me quickly  bath and change clothes so that I will follow you to buy the bread".

It was already past 7 by the time we went to buy the bread together because she wanted to buy something around the place where they sold bread.
