EUGENIA THE MAGNET THAT ATTRACTS๐
๐ Eugenia gained admission into my alma mater when I was in form two, during second term. All my stay in my school, I have never seen a young lady harvested and commanded attention from both students and teachers like Eugenia ๐คฉ. She was a magnet that attracted every male ๐. Her beauty was her crime ๐.
One morning in school during Silence Hour, my attention was drawn to an alleged seemingly apparent chaos in form 1C class ๐ฃ, by the prefect on duty, Abu Buhari ๐จ. He reported with an usually unexpected chaotic scene never witnessed in my school happening in that class that early morning๐ฒ. He claimed on his normal routine to check roll call to fetch out late comers, on arriving at form 1C class there was tension and disorganization ๐ฑ. All students were screaming on loud voices ๐ค. The cane was not enough to deter anybody ๐. If I don't come to control it, he certainly had no way ๐
โโ๏ธ. Stating in honesty, he's never seen anything like it ๐คฏ.
But I realized something rather unusual in his tone, something unlike Buhari ๐ค. He was not panicking or looking helpless ๐
โโ๏ธ. He was all smiling ๐ and as if he encountered something that's making his heart beating as though it was to crash his ribs ๐ฅ, and this was visible all over his face ๐ณ. Instead, he rather appeared calmer, shocked, and rather weak in exerting his authority ๐
. Nothing like someone who had encountered the apparent chaos he incinerated ๐ฅ.
As the senior prefect, an experienced one at that ๐ฎ, I quickly had to see what it was in 1C ๐. Some of us attended school rather matured and experienced ๐. So as senior prefect, I could decode behaviour as though I was some psychologist ๐ง. And there was no situation that I could not handle ๐ช. My prefects and students alike knew me with these abilities ๐. As I often do it, I led him into the class, provoked by the reportage, but calm ๐.
My presence alone in the class silenced it ๐ค. "Class prefect, stand up. What is happening here in your class? I enquired ๐ฃ๏ธ." "Senior... senior emm... senior... " he struggled to say anything reasonable ๐
. Then Bruhan, the big boy of the class, rudely chipped in ๐. "Senior, prefect on duty came and caned late comers, after caning us, we told him someone is eating outside behind our class, he should cane her too ๐. She was not only late but also eating at the wrong time, during Silence hour ๐ฐ๏ธ. And she does that every day at this time, yet the prefects come to cane us and leave her ๐ก. So today, we told him he must cane her first before any of us ๐." He concluded ๐ค. Looking so furious and disappointed ๐ . And as he landed his last word, the rest of the 'hard boys' echoed in unison ๐ถ, "yes... senior!" ๐. The class went silent again, waiting for my response ๐ค.
I stood there for close to 30 seconds, scanning through their faces silent ๐ค, as if on their faces was an exam passage I needed to understand ๐. "Alhassan stand up ๐ฎ." I ordered ๐. "What period is this? ๐" I asked ๐ค. "Silence hour senior ๐ค." He quickly produced an answer with courage ๐ช. "And what is the motto of this school ๐ค" I pressed ๐. After looking down at the school badge on his chest, he said "Seek Knowledge in Discipline, senior ๐" this time his tone calmer ๐.
"So class, is this the discipline you are always entreated to exhibit wherever you find yourselves as students of this school? ๐ค You throw your class into complete disarray in direct disobedience, rebellion, and disrespect to the prefects on duty? ๐ก I am so disappointed in this class this morning, and you must be punished for this single act of rebellion and show of arrogance ๐ค." I concluded ๐.
"Now, before then, all late comers come out ๐
โโ๏ธ. Prefect, check the roll call ๐." I instructed ๐. He did, and late comers were handed their punishment for late coming ๐
. Then I turned back to class prefect ๐. "Who did they say is used to eating during silence hour? ๐ค Go out and fetch her. Tell her I want her here in 3 seconds ๐." He returned giggling, trying so hard to suppress laughter ๐. "Senior, she didn't mind me ooo ๐." She doesn't respect anybody here oooo ๐ก another girl chipped in ๐. "She just looked at me from head to toe and hissed ๐." The class prefect concluded ๐
.
"Okay, class prefect come with me ๐. Prefect on duty, also come with me ๐." We matched to her ๐ฃ. And there she was ๐.
End of Part I.
