EPISODE 1

I have a story to share with all my friends out there, everyone i ever knew or i will ever know, this story might sound funny to your ear but the story was a true experience, the only thing that might be fictious are the names of people and places that i will mention, so please dont you get annoyed when you see your name or the name of someone you know feature in this short story, just note it was not the author's intention.


The moral of this story is value, we always expect Diamond while we have gold with us. This story might reveal the reason why you need to value everything around you.

My name is Epiphanus, the story begins when i was first admitted into high school, then i was as playful as any twelve years teenager would be, though i was that playful it never stopped me from being the Smart guy i used to be. Then i just had one friend who was my classmate in the elementary class, his name is Peter, he was a huge dark guy, he was the only guy i could call my friend in the new school.

Though i was that friendly but within me am a very shy guy, especially near ladies (;-)) . Although i wanted to get over with my shy nature but i could'nt help it because it made me stop doing some certain things that all the other guys do, i just wants to be like the other guys.


One day, we were in the class joking as usual when the English teacher came in, her name is Tessy, she is a tall lady maybe in her early 30s but she's too strict for her age. She came into the class and started asking questions on Diphthong, though she never taught it but she supposed we knew the answer.
"I will be asking just one last time, how many are the diphthongs",she was looking directly into my eyes while saying this, because as a short boy, though am not that short but i was among the smallest guys in that class coz i was the youngest in my class. Though we are all scared but the only thing that was clear is though the teacher was strict but she is still a woman, one thing every woman has is a feeling, even though it might not be love affection but their conscience are more active than we male.
"You mean nobody knew the answer to this simple question, this is the dumbest class i had been to so far", she went straight to the blackboard and wrote some few diphthongs and then requested for someone to pronounce it but nobody cared to reply, though i knew the answer but being a shy guy i had weighed all the implications in my mind, while trying to get myself together to answer the question i stared at the aunty to see her pointing to me.

I answered the few questions i could answer to shed myself from the teachers wrath, then the teacher did something i never expects, she gave me cane to flog the whole class, being a kid from west africa i never lost any time in collecting, i collected the cane and flogged everyone smiling that i had done something nobody ever did but i never knew i laid a trap for myself. After the aunty left, the whole class conived to beat me, then something that taught me a great lesson happened.

HEY GUYS, THE STORY CONTINUES FROM NEXT EPISODES, GOOD NIGHT.

EPISODE 2


The only thing that might be fictious are the names of people and places that i will mention, so please dont you get annoyed when you see your name or the name of someone you know feature in this short story, just note it was not the author's intention.

The moral of this Episode is anxiety, anxiety can make a situation worse, the more you try to predict an occurance worse, never you try to predict a situation rather be bold enough to face any situation, don't ask me why because this story has the perfect explaination.

After i flogged my whole classmates, feeling on top of the world, not knowing i just threw myself in a pit of shit. My teacher left telling me i should meet her in her office during break period, i smiled at that thinking that the whole class will fall for me because of my achievement.

Fifteen minutes later, a boy known as "Timothy" stormed to the front of my desk, at first i thought it was a joke until i see the colour of his Retina, his eyes was as red as blood, from the colour of his eyes i could see the anger in his eyes, i could feel his wrath, i knew something is definitly wrong, being a sharp guy, i shaped my smiling lips to appear more serious, although i was not ready to fight i had a plan B and i was 98% sure its never what he was expecting not knowing i was digging my own grave. I started raising my voice threatening him "Timothy why are you distracting me from this wonderful thing i am doing"
"What are you doing exactly,do you know the kind of disgrace you gave the whole class"
"Do you know what you just did!"
"Wetin i do".
Now i could hear the unstability of his voice, its just a sign of fear, he is now afraid thinking that am Batista or maybe John Cena.
"Do you know what you just spoilt?"
i was saying this hoping that someone who loved me would come to my aid, i knew that it was fear that made Timothy swap to pidgin English but i was 100% sure that i could'nt beat master Timothy. Then the whole students started a murmuring that inflicted fear into me, Mike, the biggest boy in our class stood up in a haste,i ran out of the class.

Not knowing exactly where to head for, i headed towards a hill about 50 ft from my school to think of the next action to take but wow fate got other plans. I reached the hill top and sat,i guessed i could hear the Air singing for a couple of minutes until i heard some noise approaching me, i guessed it was one of those notorious cultist terrorising our school, i stood agape until i was convinced they are my seniors but i never knew they are worse than cultists.

"Wetin this one dey do here, wetin person no fit see", said one of the seniors

"This is one of those guys that bleep little girls,see him face like Mr innocent", said the other

"You dey bleep girls",said the first senior
"Senior what is bleep, i don't understand what you are saying", i replied innocently.
Though i was afraid but i was naturally blessed with the spirit of outspokenness, i can force myself to do anything.
"Stop pretending,tell me,you dey rape girls for this school?"
"What kind of answer do you expect for such question"
"You still get mouth to dey form Wole Soyinka abi na Shakespeare,na today satan go punish you".
The other senior drewed a Car on the ground and asked me to push it, i was confused on how to push a mark on the ground, i just erased their own drawing and drew the mark some other place, claiming that i pushed their car
"This Kid still get mind",said the first senior,"cmon lie down.

I obliged and layed down, these guys flogged hell out of my eyes but i never cried.

"Wetin you wan be in the future",asked the second senior
"Author",i replied sobbing to control my tears.
"Na only baptism we do na, na this water we pour on your butt go clear your eyes, make you write correct English, make our kids dey learn",said the second senior.
"Thank you Sir", i said wiping few drops of tears out of my eyes.
"Now thunder down".

Please dont ask me who said that, i didnt care who the speaker is, i just rushed down the mountain with mighty speed.

When i got down, i didnt cry although my eyes was very heavy until i met Peter, i cried and hugged him, he led me into the class and other classmates comforted me instead of confronting me. I CRIED MY EYES OUT.

MY HIGH SCHOOL LOVE STORIES

EPISODE 3

Before the continuation of the story, i want to apologise for all the grammatical error that was made in the previous Episode of this story, please forgive me, they were much grammatical errors because i was in a haste while typing the story, so there was limited time for the previewing of the story, i hope you forgive me for that.

This Episode is a revelation,this is one of the most interesting and inspirational Episode of the story. There are two types of Male in this world that is exactly the message this Episode is passing, there are Men and Gentlemen, Men are those male fellas who thinks what it takes to be a man lies in your strenght (i.e the muscle), while gentlemen are the male fellas who never considered themselves worthy of being men rather they act to gain the respect from both the female and men, these men are defined with the term "Noble-Men". There are 10,000 lesson to learn from a gentleman but the most important one is "try to be a gentleman"

The next day i was feeling nervous to go to school, i wondered if this is how high school looks like, am not going to be a high school candidate, i pretended to have overslept, i was doing this to skip school, because those seniors inflicted pain into me. Then suddenly mum woked me up from my day dream,
"Epiphanus, are'nt you going to school today?"
"No i don't think so", i lazily replied
"Why?"
she anxiously wants to know
"Mum my school is on mid-term break"
"Come on, go learn to lie, how can a school be on midterm break on the 3rd week, o boy wake up its barely school resumption"
"Mum am very sick, i cannot go to school with this my sickness", i said those things making a baby face to show how serious i am.
"Meaning", she asked that question with a stern look.
"Meaning that i'm not going to school"
"You're mad"
"Thank you" i replied with a raised tone to make it sound sarcastic to her.
We argued until dad heard our agitation and came to settle the disputes, i already knew dad will support me even before he turned a chief magistrate.

Dad settled the issue by telling me not to go to school my conscience depproved it, but i have to go to his Workshop with him. I sheeplishly accepted the judgement because its much better than rusting in the hands of these heartless people called my seniors.

Business that day was going smoothly, the shop was a busy one, the trooping in and out of Customers made me restless. I know you might be wondering what kind of business my dad specialise on, we sell drinks in wholesale quantity.

That day wasn't easy, i have an advice for every business personnel reading this story, when you wake up in the morning to pray for your business that day, don't ask God for anyhow customers, pray for customers you can handle (not for Labour to pass Money).

The shop was busy till midday, the crowd was reducing, till it reduced to me and dad (The last Men standing, abi).
I complained to dad about hunger, i have'nt eaten anything since morning for Christ sake, who wouldn't go hungry after such stress, then dad sent me on an errand to buy Food for both of us.

On my way to the market, i met an annoying guy, although people believe i am annoying, even my own brothers but that guy is worse than i am, his name is Victor, the skinniest person you had known so far, this guy started abusing me saying that i am in love with my teacher, i knew he was refering to the incident that took place the previous day, i tried to ignore because no one could specify the actual person he was talking to, i tried ignoring him but he tried to drag me back, then my cloth tore in the process.I summoned enough courage to confront him, then he slapped me, one of my defects is hot temper, i was very angry at him, i jumped on him an angry dog, he was even astorned at my attacking techniques, he lost balance and fell to the ground, i beated a hell out of him until the by-passers came and separated us, i raised my face a little bit to see a sandal approaching me, those sandals were familiar, it was daddies, i raced out of the scene not knowing how to face daddy.

I didnt appear at the shop for a while until its time for locking the shop, i was afraid to face dad, but after i explained everything to dad, he told me that he would have slapped me twice if i cried back to complain to him, he also said that sometimes, a boy ought to be a man to tackle a situation.

MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY

Episode 4


Sorry for all those delays, my main aim for all the delay is to attract more attention, most people are silent followers of this story which is not encouraging at all, nothing brings joy like feeling the success of your craft, please to all silent followers of these story please you are discouraging me, it's not easy to type 5000 characters, am expecting something, tell me if my story is good or bad, please don't be a silent follower.

The theme of this Episode is "Fear", according to my own definition, fear is a feeling of self_independent and insecurity which makes one reluctant to his/her wish. Being afraid means believing that the other is your superior, the question here is why on earth should someone believe that he is weaker than some other person. Believe me you can do whatever they did, there is no reason why you should admire or fear something you must face, be bold enough to face your fears.


The next day was friday, which will complete my 5th day of my high school, i wanted to go to school but was very reluctant, i had been thinking what next awaits me from these wicked seniors, since i was five i knew female are more wicked than we male, never you pray to stand helpless in the presence of a woman. Being a guy, i summoned enough courage and went to school, but i didnt go with my dad, its been a daily routine for my dad to drop me off to school but that day was difference because i was expecting much more surprises from these Coconut heads known as my Seniors.

I came to school late that day, i could view some other late comers like me being knelt down just few kilometers from the school block, i should had been afraid but not today because i was expecting anything today, i was ready for that Punishment, i walked straight to that scene and shook hands with the people around me and knelt down willingly just like the other did, i was trying to avoid any other attention today, i wanted to be a minor character today not a protagonist.

I knelt down for over 15 minutes, soon a Senior by the name Blessing came passing-by, she was from my neighourhood, i was expecting her to speak on my behalf or even permit me to go inside my class but things are not going to go as smoothly as i had always thought, her facial expression suddenly changed on sighting me, she walked toward me with a wicked step (You knew those steps that are made to inflicts fear into you). Of course, i was ready for her,she walked to me and said
"Na now you still dey come?"
"Yes, ma", i answered her.
"mr fine boy, no be where you dey kit wey make you late, you wan make everybody know you be gentleman, abi"
"Blessing, its not what you think, i had a problem........",i was innocently trying to explain the real fact, but that senior is not ready to hear me out, she only got more angry listening to my explaination.
"Did i just heard you call Blessing with this your smelly mouth, are'nt you afraid at all"
"I didn't know you recently changed name, i thought you answered Blessing just two days ago, abeg no verse", I answered timidly.
"This boy, you no get respect for your seniors abi, today i go make sure you see the colour of your teeth, now frog jump"
"Blessing, see, i already knew the colour of my teeth, i saw my teeth through the mirror, no need wasting your precious time and energy trying to show me the colour of my teeth which will not add a dine to my save",

She was so angry that she dropped her Cane to beat me hand to flesh, she tried forcing me to flog jump but i stubbornly refused knowing fully that if i do that am leaving a story for mocking me for the next two weeks, so decided to face the pain than the shame. But as she was trying to flog me, two men came to my rescue, these men protected me from Jezebel, i kept looking for a prophet that suits them, i guess Nathan and Elisha will do, but you would,nt believe who these men are, they are those seniors who flogged hell out of me on the hill, they protected me as if i were there brother, they went so far to exchange words and threat among my seniors which almost led to a fight, i stood there speechless not knowing if i should be happy or if i should cry because my two worse seniors are fighting, i was partially happy and sad because i attracted the attention i never wanted to attract but within me, i knew something is definitely wrong somewhere.

MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY

EPISODE 5

Sorry for all those delays guys but i have a reason which might not be reasonable to some of you but before explaining my reason i want's to apologise for all those suspense i left you in, no matter what i should have letted you know, please forgive me.
My reason was that i lost my Java Iphone which is easier for me in term's of typing, i could not type with TEKNO H5 coz it will take a longer time and moreover am an 11 hour worker (8am-7pm).
So am really sorry. You are free to vex but dont vex too much,abeg.

ANNOUNCEMENT
To all my precious followers and readers of this Episodic story, i am here to announce the official renaming of this story from MY HIGH SCHOOL LOVE STORIES to MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY, the reason is that the story is a bit complicated, it do comprise other stories but more of Love stories which are yet to come.

The main message of this story is Courage, there is nothing you can achieve in this world without being courageous, it is said that even the most adored men on earth faces fear as their main obstacle but they conquer it with courage.

After the incident in the morning, i was so shocked, i was surprise not knowing what led to that but within me i could feel untold stories about the incidence roaming. I kept quiet the whole day in class, i was trying to figure out the possible reason or to know if i were a wizard but nothing seems to be the possible answer. The whole class was paying condolence to me as if someone died around me but it was'nt helping at all, the only person who never wanted to talk to me was Victor, of course i knew exactly the reason. I went and reconciled with Victor knowing fully well that am still a novice in this school that am going to need his help someday.


I was quiet the only day until break period, the reason might be the shock or the unexpected incidents, i went down to the school canteen with Victor to buy snack for us but another unexpected incident took place. When i reached canteen to buy snack, i noticed some timid movement among some bunch of female seniors who were discussing before sighting me, i pretended that i saw nothing and completed my business in the canteen, i already knew what will happen there so i drewed a plan on how to deal with the situation but only God knows how my body will look if my plans yield a negative result because i had no other plan. I signalled Victor to collect everything i bought, he did exactly what i signalled him to do, so in the process of leaving, one of the 8 girls had blocked our path, Victor being a fast guy rushed into the nearest bush, but i had my own plan.
"Where are you going", said that rat headed fat smelly senior (i just hope she's not reading this).
"To my class of course, abi you want make i head for your papa Kitchen", i replied sarcastically.
"You still get mouth abi"
"No, na teeth i get"
"Follow me", she commanded
"Why should i follow you, you be Jesus Christ?"


She held me in the waist (have someone ever held you that way that you wondered if you were a thief), although it's quite embarrassing but i have to act brave or someone get caught in a trap made for some other person, i pushed her in the way that she moved two steps backward, though it's not my intention to do that but sometimes boys are forced to be men by fate, the anger in me blinded me from seeing the calamity of what i was doing, fighting a girl and moreover a Senior girl, Anger you be bastard, i never knew what i was doing until i rushed to pin her on her shirt, but gush i touched something, something really soft, it was her breast, that feeling made me realized that i was rushing to fight a girl, i then stood agape not knowing the next step to take, i guessed my plan failed me, who knows what's gonna happen to the big boy, the other seniors started approaching me beaming with smiles then i realized that i really bited more than i can chew.
"Superman, you don finish beating your senior, oya come kneel down here", she was drawing a circle on the ground while saying this.

I was speechless while she was saying all this, not just because i was afraid of them but because of what i touched, i intruded her privacy, i wanted to beg and explain that it is a mistake but i find it humiliating, my skin is gonna burn now, i always knew that Female seniors are more wicked than the male, but i could only blame myself for the mistakes, why did i fought a lady at the first place. I regained my sense to see that many teachers had been attracted to the scene, even my English teacher, then something unusual happened.

To all the faithful followers of this story whom i had disappointed i'm really sorry for keeping you in anticipation, i'm really sorry but i lost NL detail, especially my E-mail address, i'm here to announce that MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY CONTINUES ON THURSDAY from episode 6, the episodes are a bit lengthy and free from announcement and suspense unlike the previous episodes, you woudnt be disappointed, i assure you that.

No brobs, am already looking 4ward to reading ur work once more

MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY EPISODE 6 My worse situation that day was my encounter with my senior, I meant my class senior, I’m not used to fighting especially with a female, who knew the trauma I went through while trying to negotiate with my seniors, but to God be all the Glory that my English teacher was around to save me, she took me to the principal office with all the scolding, yes I know the unspoken words behind all these scolding she wanted to avoid all those gossip of students relationship with teachers, she wanted to appear decent in the faces of men but although I wanted to appear that way but there is time for everything so I believe that I don’t know your point of view, anyway what do I know, I only have a kiddies brain, you know what I meant by that. Back to the story, my English teacher took me to a side of a hall and with a fainted smile, I know she was much disappointed in seeing me do this, she never knew the devil is alive, what I actually meant is that it is not my fault that I fought with a female senior, Satan should be blamed for every inconvenience “How will I believe you did something like this! I’m highly disappointed in you”, she was scolding me, screaming on top of her voice, she was taking a motherly responsibility on me, I can’t blame her though “aunty, it’s not my fault, I tried my best to control my emotions but she pushed me to the wall “what kind of excuse is this? Epiphanus you worth to be banned from this school” “Aunty, I deserve any punishment you will give now, but though she fend my trouble but its also my fault for loosing my responsibility as a man, I’m really sorry aunty”, I apologized sympathetically “Now you are talking like the Epiphanus I once knew, I’m sorry you might not expect me to say this but we have to see the principal”, she said this looking straight into my eyes, she knew the principal will punish me but she have no choice, but I knew the feeling she had for me, she was looked at me like her son, though she expect the feeling from me but you can’t expect the same from a shy guy, yes, I was ready for anything, I was truly sorry at that moment, not just because I fought a female senior but because I disappointed my school mother. She took me to the Principal office, though she was defending me like her school son but still, she was trying to appear decent in the sight of the school authority, the principal was an old man who was in his late seventies, he was a bit coloured, he actually looked like a Zombie or a local Masquarade, like the ones that are celebrated in this part of the eastern Nigeria, she is among the top 10 ugly people I met that year, most student was scared of him, but why would I fear someone who is almost a school terrorist in terms of stealing He was busy reading a book when we entranced his office, he dropped the novel to focus on his visitors, I knew my English teacher took me here to report first before those female seniors report first, at leat the punishment should be reduced to the barest minimum because my school mother was around, I kind of feel secured in her present, I couldn’t believe I’m trusting a woman who was my aunties age and not a relative of mine, remember I was just an 11 years old boy who had not explored the world at all . “Good morning, prince” Greeted my school mother in an act to respect the principal order, the principal once told us to stop addressing him as Principal, but to address him as Prince, I hate princes, after watching a Nollywood Collection named “Beauty and the Beast”, you will actually hate Princes after watching that film. “Good morning, Aunty, how are you?” “I’m good sir, I have come to report with my student” “Report! What happened?”, exclaimed the principal in a semi high tone “Good morning, oga Principal”, I said in an attempt to interrupt the good for nothing Prince My teacher punched me from behind in an attempt to discipline me and make me realize my mistake. The principal pursed for a few Seconds and then replied “Who is this student with you that looked stubborn” “Sir he is not that stubborn,

continuation of episode 6 sir, he is just angry” “Angry at What?” “He fend trouble and was beaten black and blue by his seniors” “What, a student fought his student in my own school”, he stood up and reached for a cane “Kneel down!”, he commanded in a harsh tone I obliged and knelt down fully confident that my school mother will speak on my behalf. “Sir though, he has no right to fight his seniors but according to his complaint, he was pushed to the wall” The principal paused and took a closer look at my face and asked the teacher “Is he your relative?” “No, the son of a family friend”, the teacher explained “you guys resembled each other” The principal hit me gently with the cane and said “Today is your lucky day, your aunty has saved you today, you will regret knowing me next time I hear you fight your senior, understood” “Yes sir”, he patted my head gently and we left My school mother cautioned me outside the principal office and warned me not to ever fight in this school, I would not have assured her 100% sure of that but I will try to keep her request Bye guys till next Episode Like my page www.facebook.com/ epiphanuskingofficialpage1 for more update

MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY EPISODE 7 I came home the next day, feeling nervous about a girl I just met few hours ago who is affecting my life emotionally but I believe I’m going to walk over that, stronger things had came and passed, this is not going to be a transaction to my well known gentle calm life, I kept thanking God for such a life, I believe I’m Phenomenon, nobody could ever believed I would fall for anyone, but I believe I can handle this, I believe soon we will be demarcated by classroom, because I registered in the B class as the first JSS 1 student in B class but since there are just few people in the class so I decided to adjust with the A class for some few weeks, so I believed that soon we will had just limited time to be together. Today is Saturday which is usually not supposed to be an academic day but I had other plans, maybe positive or negative, but everyday has a cause to be remembered, I was still lying on my bed when my mum came with a serious look on her face, I knew my mum, she’s usually not serious when she look serious “Good morning mum”, I blurted out trying to stretch myself on the bed “Ebuka, why are you still in bed”, she asked trying to sound more serious “Because is just dawn, few minutes away from 5 or 6 oclock”, I carelessly replied “5 or 6 oclock by this time are you out of your mind” I jumped out of the bed hearing that harsh word from her, I searched for my least word, Mum was just there staring at me until I found my Wristwatch, the time was Ten minutes after Nine was the time, I was surprised seeing I can sleep till this time, this was the first time I slept till that time “Just don’t tell me you are becoming lazy for Christ sake”, Asked Mom “No I’m just lazy for satan sake, its not my idea, it was her idea”, I said trying to withdraw her attention from my mistakes” “Whose is she?” “Mom I met a witch in my dream, she threatened to kiss me, I ran so far that I cannot locate my way home that was the reason behind my delay” Mom laughed for a couple of minutes, in haled and called out to me “ Epiphanus, Epiphanus, Epiphanus, how many times did I call you” “Mom I’m having an ear problem, I guess you called me 99 times “ Look straight into my eyes to know if I’m joking” “Mom believe me, you are a Joker We were still talking when Dad came into the room, “Ebuka what are you still doing in the bed by this time” Believe me dad are always harsh especially mine “have you ever tried midnight reading?” “Meaning” “My examination is by the corner? So I have to read to start my high school with an amazing record” “We both knew that is the wrong excuse for this moment, prepare yourself, we are going to shop” Daddy, I don’t want to go to shop” “Shutup, what are you doing at home” “I want to complete my reading, I still have a few passages to go through” “It’s like you don’t know what we are going through to feed you guys, all our earning depends on that shop,

continuation of Episode 7

“It’s like you don’t know what we are going through to feed you guys, all our earning depends on that shop, so if you are no going to shop with me, it means no feeding today”
This is when Mum came in, she was standing at the door post for almost two hours now
“Oga Sunny, please hear the boy out before giving him unnecessary tackling”
Daddy usually get pissed off when Mum intrude our conversation
“Must you support this lazy son’s of your’s, haven’t them showed you enough signs that you are not helping at all”, said dad in a semi harsh tone.
“Wouldn’t you blame him if he fail his examinations, give him a chance to try his best in this forthcoming examination, afterall you had been doing all those works yourself when he is not there, so give him some few weeks to get used to that new school life”, explained mum passionately
Mummy had always been supporting me right from day 1, daddy gazed at her for some time and gave me those type of eying I refer to as thunder eye, those eying that simply means “We shall see”, though I was a bit scared by those eying but I’m always safe from dad when mum is around, I layed still till dad managed to leave, I know dad was really angry with me but anyway he is a man, his anger will just last to his shop, I exhaled deeply and was about to get up when I noticed mum changed his standing posture, then I noticed mum had been there all these while.
“You see the kind of trouble you are causing for your parents?”

MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY
EPISODE 8
Today is supposed to be Monday, which means the first day of school, I should had been anxious to go back to school but those silly seniors had killed the spirit of academy in me, I guess school is the most difficult work shop, I mean globally, whenever I remember my activity with those God forsaken seniors, I now consider school as a cross, could you imagine that just the thought that today is school drills me and makes me nervous but I had no other choice than to face them, if that is my cross I’m ready to go through it for academic sake, only God will be the judge of that.
Meanwhile, the previous days passed by like nothing happened, dad came back on Saturday evening and found me reading my book, I was thinking he might scold or remind me of the scene we created earlier that day but lovely dad just came toward with a serious face, one problem with dad are that dad’s seldom smile especially mine, I was shocked seeing his fast movement toward me but she searched for a chair and sat next to me, he watched my rough work’s on a shit of paper and started to advice me, after the advice he encouraged me and left, then I admired his lifestyle, I wish I will imitate his lifestyle but that what’s made him unique. The day after passed as normal as any other Sunday with all the fun and laughing with my guys after church, lunch and afternoon nap of course.
I woke up earlier than usual on Monday, though I had been quite awake one hour before I rose up from bed but what I kept thinking about is my next adventure with these guys, I rose up by exactly 5:30am on Monday, after my morning schedule, of course you know what I meant by my morning schedule, I was actually referring to family early morning prayer, brushing of my teeth, bathing, preparing of the breakfast which are mainly rice most of the time and putting on my school uniform which is dark blue and white shirt, that uniform is never scarce to find, especially here in enugu, after completing my morning schedule, the time was exactly 6:50am, we waited patiently for dad, of course we, I’m sorry I had never introduced my brother in this story but I believe its not wrong to do so now.
I’m the fourth son of the family with other four sibling which are all male, sorry but I had no direct sister, any girl who create a memory for me automatically becomes my sister, some of you who are close to me no exactly what I’m saying, sorry I wouldn’t mention any name but most of my sisters (not biological though) are following this story, many of them will be mentioned in this story, I could say all of them are in the story, they will appear stages by stages in the story, but hey don’t get me wrong when I say non-biological sisters, I don’t think I had any non-biological brother except ......., make I no call names abi?
When I was in class one in high school (JSS1) which is supposed to be standard 7 in general school library, my immediate elder brother was in class three (JSS3) which is supposed to be standard 9 in general school library, he was two classes ahead of me, he was three years older than I am, he is much taller, darker, skinny maybe stronger than I look but don’t judge by appearance.
We waited patiently inside the giant 608 vehicle with a giant career as it back, I believe dad chose that motor because it contains more crates, you know he is a business man who deals with wholesale and retail drinks, we waited for dad for almost ten minutes before he concluded his discussion with Mum and drove us to school, he usually stops some places to carry some of our students who are trekking to school, my school is almost 1 mile trek from school, this trekking makes most of our students look healthy and athletic, yep including me, you will be the judge of that.
We reached school by exactly 7:25am, meanwhile the morning assembly is scheduled to start by 7:45am which in African man timing should be around 8:15am but Jason Statham (The Transporter) abi na wetin be his real name, made a statement, though a casual statement that says “It’s not good to be late”, of course you know what that means, dad asked us “did your mummy give you any money for afternoon break” which we both lied that Mum gave us nothing but the actual truth was that Mum gave us both twenty naira which can at least buy you two bambara food (Okpa) at that time because you can hardly find Okpa for fifty Naira , Fifty naira is almost worthless these days while any other naira note below fifty naira is simply worthless because there is simply nothing you can buy with five naira, and nothing sensible to buy with ten naira and twenty naira these days, Nigeria is really turning around, we are advancing negatively, but all I will always say is “God bless Nigeria”, I’m a proud Nigeria, I will say the proudest Nigeria on earth, no matter what people thinks about us we are going to change Nigeria, we means You and I, dad handed us thirty naira each not knowing its just a support to what Mum gave us earlier, he waved us goodbye and drove off to his shop, God bless dad wherever he is now.
I spent some time with my classmates in the classroom before going for morning assembly, our Senior prefect then is a guy named Sunday, he is disciplined, gentle, intelligent and good looking of course most of the student who went to Comba are good looking, Comba is an abbreviation of Combine which simply meant a Combine school (Boys and Girls), the name became popular after the school was amalgamated, some of the student thought that was the real name of the school, majority thinks it was given that name most of the student came from different region, tribes and their mentality varies, believe my school though a government school is the most popular beyond its location.
The assembly was a bit irritating after the senior prefect blew all the grammer he learnt in his life, I personally noted that he was doing all those to gain attention and admiration from those dullards who kept clapping and screaming in every nonsense he made, after his irritating vocabularies he turned to us year one student, all those try to be gentle, don’t fight in the school, obey the school authority, blab la blab la, I personally knew why I came here.
After those news he dismissed us and we went to our difference classes chanting praises they forged by themselves on top of their voices. In the classroom an event that affected my life emotionally took place.

MY HIGH SCHOOL DIARY
EPISODE 9
After the morning assembly we all went into our classes to start up a new academic day, I never knew something is going to turn up for me today, I actually expected nothing, you all knew what am trying to say so don’t get me wrong, then I was just an innocent boy but now, only God can be the judge of that, you all knew the capability of 21st century teenagers, we are all the same, that’s why we are referred as Jet Age.
In the class after some interaction with my classmates I was actually getting uncomfortable, I’m that kind of Guy who finds it difficult to fraternize, I love being alone, that’ why I’m referred to as the “Lonely Hero” , that’s just my life.
So while discussing with my colleague I realized that my Home Economics notebook wasn’t complete, so I decided to complete my note, at least to pass time with that, so I decided to borrow note from a girl, at least then, female are more serious than we guys in terms of coping note, only God knows who read’s better, but they copy note to be recognized by teachers and be seen as the best student, then I was just a learner, a JJC in terms of socialization, because I’m just used to few mutual groups of people but here is like another world to, the only person I know is Peter because he was my friend right from primary school.
I looked around to find a person to borrow note from, so I saw a girl seating at the first row of the class, she was seating alone, so that made me think she’s the only person who I will be opportune to gain her attention, she was reading a book by Naniboy titled “Son of the Soil”, I had no intention to distract her but I had to, I stood still for a while to know my next step of action bit fortunately she turned back and said
“Hi”,
wow that girl had an amazing voice, you all knew were I’m heading to, it never meant that I fell for at first sight but something attracted me to her
“Good morning”, I greeted to sound noble yes she too understood where I’m heading to, maybe she got the hint that I’m a shy guy, then not now, ask any of my friend now if I’m still that shy guy I used to be, they would answer “That talkative”, yeah that’s exactly what everyone thought of me but within me I’m just a lonely hero, someone who enjoys his best moment with a pen and a book, sound abstract, right?
“Is there something I could do for you”, she was looking straight into my eyes while asking these question, of course she wanted to know if I’m a bold guy but by the grace of God I acted a bit matured.
“Yeah I think I need to borrow your Economics note”
