No!!!! You can't do this, you can just skip to two years, this exactly what kay did in his wonderful piece. U can't leave somethings unconcluded and jump to two years. If u want to fasten the pace, do it in present time and conclude a section before takin us to two years.

The holiday which lingered on for too long finally crept over for a new school session. The students had returned to school, most of them looking bigger than they were before the vacation.

The compound had some over grown weeds and the class rooms were very dusty with cobweb dangling recklessly from the ceiling.

The students were no strangers to the fact that Late comers were going to tidy the month old dirt so most of them had turned up early to school that morning.

In the classroom, Jake and Morris arranged a desk at the back of the class, Morris sat close to he window.

The class remained rowdy as the students clustered in groups discussing the events of the holiday.

The first half of the day went on with few teachers coming to introduce the term's scheme to the class, other however did not bother coming to class at all.

"How are you doing today?" Jake asked Anabel as they walked on the long lawn leading to the cafeteria.

"It's been pretty nice. When did Morris return?" Anabel replied.

"I am certain you saw him in class why didn't you ask him?"

"Because he didn't tell me he was travelling but you did." Anabel answered.

Jake looked at her and shook his head. He didn't reply her as he ordered for snacks from the lady across the counter.

As they walked into the class Jake noticed Morris was still in class. That was strange. Morris was never in class during recession not even when he is sick and he Jake was certain he wasn't sick, for all he knew Morris had never been sick.

"What are you up to" Jake asked as he sat beside his friend.

"How do you mean?" Morris asked. Some how he deduced what Jake was talking about but chose to pretend.

"You can't Just be in one place, not during recession" Jake replied.

"Well I guess there is a better news which would interest you than my being in class." Morris said waving aside Jake's comment. He smiled as he noticed the interest on his friend's face. "The Principal 'll finally be calling out the Prefects today" Morris said.

"Really? I thought he said we weren't qualified to be Prefects, why did change of mind" Jake asked. "By the way how did you know?"

Morris laughed carelessly. That was what he loved most outside talking and eating, the feeling of being important due to the information he possessed.

"You sure don't wanna know how i got that." Morris replied conceitedly.

****** ***** *****
The teachers and students sat in the hall closing Assembly. The hall was noisy and no teacher made any attempt to calm the students.

Few minutes later, the Principal walked into the hall and immediately the place became dead silent. He stood before the crowd with a chordless micro phone and made sure every attention was on him before he spoke.

"Good afternoon all." he greeted. He paused and looked through the teachers then to the students as they responded his greeting.

"Without much ado I'll like to inform you all officially that I have reconsidered and decided to appoint some students who would be saddled with the responsibilities of being the school prefects. However, they would be acting prefects in their various capacities which means I can substitute them if they fail to impress Me" he paused and looked at the paper on his hand.

Morris adjusted his chair and looked at Jake. The look on his eyes were the silent way of saying
"Didn't I tell you?"

The principal proceeded in calling the names of the prefects and asked them to come out in front of the hall. As the prefects were being called Morris kept expecting to hear his name. At least he deserved a post he thought. Only few posts were left and he hadn't heard his name, even if there wasn't anything for him he could do well with being a Library Prefect. He felt beads of sweat forming on his face and he made no attempt to wipe his face .

"Uzo... Morris" the principal's voice came from the loud speakers. The principal had never been able to pronounce his surname. "Labour /sanitary prefect." The principal added. He looked up to see if the student was walking out.

Morris stood up and walked towards other prefects. He couldn't believe his luck. He knew he deserved a post but something as highly placed as the Labour prefect. He never imagined that in all his thought.

"The Head Girl for this section is Adele Anabel."

Jake was the first to start the clapping as she stood up to meet the rest. His face shone with admiration. Jake had continued starring at the prefects, most of them were his classmates when the principal's voice sounded from the speakers again.

"Azubike Jake is the new senior prefect, please step forward." Jake couldn't believe his ears. As he walked on towards the principal the students kept clapping, most of the junior students were already standing and shouting. He had never been so famous in his life. He expected the principal to say he had called his name mistakenly but he received a friendly hand shake and a pat at the back from the Principal. He was the new Senior prefect of the school, he smiled.

The october rain came with its wetness and chills. The down pour had been intense for days and most of the streets with poor drainage were flooded.

The court room was filled with people most of whom had nothing to do with the case. Tension was expressed in silence at the reappearance of the judge to give his verdict.

Patrick stood in the dock with his head bent. He concentrated his gaze on the rough wooden floor beneath his feet and he felt time had stopped for a reason he couldn't tell until he heard the voice of the judge then every thing jolted into a rapid motion.

For the first time since his trial he was having a slim fear in his mind. Doris had done her best and he knew it but he also knew that the prosecution counsel had a more concrete case during the trial.

"...sentence to Five years imprisonment. This is my judgement" were the last words of the judge before he rose from his seat and advanced to the rear of the court.

Patrick lifted his gaze to the look at the people. Their divergent expressions eluded his understanding. Some had made inaudible comments, while others showed pity. He descended his looks to Doris who had a different expression which he had never seen on her face before.

The two officers who had escorted him into the room rush towards him with a hand cuff. One officer stood at both sides and they shoved him out of the room for the "black maria" to convey him to the prison.

Doris could not make a sound. She was certain of losing the case but not expecting such a verdict. Indeed our Justice system is rotten she thought within her self as slowly packed her paraphernalia and walked towards the exit.

Patrick walked on with the two officers at either sides. As he climbed the high security vehicle he saw two people standing at a corner. Everybody around the vicinity was looking at him but something was different about those two. He turned to take a clearer look but receive a violent push from behind. The door of the vehicle flung open and inside the vehicle was darker than Hades.

He peeped through the small holes on the side of the van but it was useless as he couldn't see them from his position. Slowly vehicle drove off the compound for his abode, the prison which would be his home for the next Five years.
