CHAPTER FIVE

The lessons ended and we went to the residence.

Me: Man what problem do you have with Tanya?

Steven: Nothing.

Me: So what’s the problem?

Steven: She is stupid.

Me: Yea she is but you don’t have to do her like that.

Steven: It’s just for fun man.

Me: It’s not funny for her man.

Steven: Well, it’s funny for you.

Me: Invalid point.

Steven: Most valid point.

Me: What if her man hears about this?

Steven: I will just tell him that I was joking.

Me: Ok.

In the following 2 weeks, there were exams. The exams were hard and we kept on having lessons.

Mr Donaldson: You will hunt me on the exam day.

And he was right. We hunted him. English was my first exam and I was scared. I was not in the form.

Mrs Kay: I saw you Charles in the hall. You seemed so confident.

The principal misread my facial expressions because I was very nervous in that exam. As for mathematics, we were taught new examinable concepts the day before the exam. The concepts were in the exam.

Mr Vladmir: You have to memorise these things and meditate upon them. They will be in the exam.

There was a mathematics paper that consisted of exotic topics, 60% of the paper.

Tanya: You should not just memorise the pre-release program, know it.

Me: I don’t think there is enough time for that.

Steven: Yea, because she wasted most of our lesson.

Me: Steve!

Steven: What! She is the one who asked stupid questions during exams.

Me: Man!

Tanya: It’s okay Charles.

Me: No, it’s not.

James: Are you memorising this thing?

Me: I will see to it.

I did not see to it. I forgot all about it. I didn’t even read Computer Science stuff. Early in the morning in class Tanya came to me.

Tanya: Do you know the statements? I know the whole program.

Me: Really?

Tanya: Yea.

Me: I know nothing. I was reading Geography.

3 days earlier

Mr Friesland: Is it possible for me to have a lesson with you?

The others: Yes.

I was not comfortable with having a lesson since I had a lot of work.

Me: Sir, can I be excused. I am not comfortable.

I went out to another room and I slept like a baby. The following day we had a lesson too.

Friesland: These things will be there in the exam.

The things were not even in the exam.

Friesland: Map work has to be known. It’s not optional.
