Secondary [completed] Season 2

Principal: ” So Charles please let’s have the audio ” the principal said smiling, Mrs Jagun was also wearing a smile. I turned to Joy, her face was just calm without any reaction, of course she doesn’t know the content of the audio. Charles passed the recorder to the principal and he played it, as I thought it was what I expected .

The earlier discussion I had with Charles in class was being played, all his questions if I had really loved joy and my replies was heard loudly in the hall. I was full of shame and disappointment in myself, I turned to joy again and she was now wearing a sober face.

Mrs Jagun :” So are you still guilty or not? ” she asked smiling.

Me:” Am guilty ma but Joy isn’t. I love her but I haven’t told her anything yet so there is nothing against her ” I said trying to maintain my voice as it looked like I was going to cry.

Principal: ” Yeah Hugine, that is true Joy you can go back to your class ” the principal ordered but Joy still stood there. ” Just go ” I whispered silently to her. She left and Charles followed suit smiling at me as he passed me by.

Principal:” So now I will leave you case to Mr. Olamide and the proprietor ” he said turning to the two men who have been quiet all through.

Proprietor: ” Hmm, it surprises me how a new guy like you could have gotten yourself into trouble just on your first week of resumption, its a pity and you are a big disgrace to your parent who had spent money on you not knowing you are just a useless somebody. I leave you into the hands of our school judge, Mr. Olamide here, but before then does any of you have anything else to say? ” he asked turning to the Principal and Mrs Jagun.

The principal shaked his head negatively while Mrs Jagun nodded hers meaning she had something to say.


Proprietor:” you are free please ”


Mrs Jagun:” Can you just behold yourself? I warned you right from the first day you came here but you didn’t listen. Who is in trouble now you or Joy ? ” she asked staring at me with her big ugly eyes.


Me:” Ma, I Dont think that concerns anybody, the reason why am here is to take my punishment and leave, I Dont need advise from people like you ” I said boldly shocking my listeners, the proprietor adjusted his glasses while I also adjusted mine.

Proprietor:” I can see you are really stubborn as they say you are, Mr. Olamide please pass your judgement ” he said.

Mr Olamide :” uhm uhm” he started by clearing his throat.

Mr Olamide:” Now you punishment for breaking the school rules and regulation is for you to go on a five days suspension, and when you return, you have been granted the job of washing the school toilet for one week. Now you punishment for being rude to a bonified teacher of this school is for you to receive 10 lashes of the cane from the teacher you have proven rude to.

And now it depends on the teacher to either forgive or flog you ” he said as his eyes moved from me to Mrs Jagun.


Mrs Jagun: ” I forgive him sir, am in a good mood today” she said smiling at me.

Mr Olamide:” Then I think that should be all ” he concluded as he rose and left.

Principal:” Remember, your punishment has started ” he added and also left. The proprietor also left leaving me alone with Mrs Jagun.

Mrs Jagun :” you could have just dated Sandra and …”she was saying while I just hissed and left. I staggered back to my class with blurred eyes, I tried my best to stop the tears from coming out but they eventually did. I entered the class with my eyes full of tears and immediately , half of the class bursted into laughter. I turned to Joy and saw her also crying. I went to my desk and arranged my book into my bag.

Sandra:” Mr lover boy ” she said admist laughter but I pretended not to hear her. I backed my bag and went to Joy desk.


Me :” Am sorry ” I said drying the tears of my cheek.

Joy :” No, my guy I should be sorry and also thank you for what you did for me. What punishment are you given? ”

Me:” Five days suspension ” I said slowly while tears dropped from her cheeks the more, I stretched my hands and cleaned it up for her.

Joy:” Gabi, please be strong, remember I love y..o..u ” she struggled to say as her tears held her voice.

Me:” I love you too, and please you don’t look beautiful in that face ” I said smiling while she dried up her tears.


Me:” bye” I said and turned back to leave but behold Akpan was behind me.

Akpan:” Am sorry bro, I warned you. Please do take care, I will miss you. ” he said with a red eyes, I regretted ever doubting him.

Me:” Akpan forgive me for not..”

Akpan:” its okay ” he said giving me a brotherly hug.

Me:” bye ” I told him


Akpan: ” Bye bro, I will take care of joy for you ” he said smiling while I also smiled before making for the class door.

Charles:” here goes the brave Lover boy, Gabriel Hugine ” he said in mockery while the the students bursted out in laughter except for Joy and Akpan. I looked back at him and smiled before finally existing the door for the gate.


======= Mom:” Gabi Dont tell me you have fallen sick again, why are you home this early?” She asked getting up.

Me:” M…o..m” I wanted to talk but suddenly bursted into tears.


Mom:” Love, what is it?” She asked as she embraced me.

Me:” I have been suspended” I said and she left go off me immediately.

Mom:’ what did you do?” She asked with a confused look while I narrated everything to her.

Mom:” son you can trust no one, Dont worry, God is in control. Thank God Joy wasn’t also suspended ” she finally said after I concluded my story.


Me:” Mom, you aren’t angry with me?” I said in surprise.

Mom:” No son, I am not, you weren’t at fault, your feelings were and I can’t stop you from loving someone truly ” she said again while I smiled.

Me:” what of dad, won’t he be angry ?” I asked again.

Mom:” that why am his wife, I will beat him if he gets angry ” she said to me demonstrating with her hands while I bursted out in laughter, just then the door opened and Eunice came in from God knows where.

Eunice:” You are always falling sick, what kind of sickness is it this time?” She asked with a straight face.

Mom:” is that how you greet these days?”

Eunice:” Ha, sorry mom, good afternoon ma” she greeted


Eunice:” So gabi what happened? ” she asked again while I turned to my mom.

Mom:” Gab, go and freshen up ” she said and I obeyed immediately while she narrated everything to Eunice.

===== ” No, call Gabriel for me ” I heard my dad shouting to my mom, I didn’t wait for her to call me as I walked slowly to their room while adjusting my glasses.
