Chris, you have been posted to Greater Heights College that is one of the best secondary schools in this state. Mr. Sola Said as he came in from the office of the Local Inspector of Education.
"Wow! I'm so happy. Chris exclaimed
Well, the only thing I want to tell you is that you know that school is a boarding school, beware of the friends. Keep because an adage says "Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are". Moreover,evil communications also corrupts good manners.So, in your best interest, do what will make your parents proud and let me tell you something Mrs Sola said as she sat down.
Ouch! Chris exclaimed as he held onto his buttocks.
What is it? Mrs. Sola asked
I want to go and defecate. Chris answered
Okay, go. His mother said.
Chris ran all the way to the toilet, but as he was about to get to the toilet, he slipped and fell, thereby breaking his arm.
His parents took him to the hospital and he was admitted to the hospital. A few days later, he was to be discharged though, his arm has not totally healed but it is better.
Had I known I wouldn't have gone to defecate. Chris regretted.
Why? His parents asked
When Daddy came back home, and told me of the school I was posted to, and Mummy began to advise me, then Mummy sat down as she was advising me, that was when I knew from past experience that the advice would take a long time because Mummy loves talking, so in order to spare myself lengthy seminars, I decided to fake a lie that I went to defecate, that was when I fell in the toilet.
Both of his parents burst into a laugh that seems everlasting to Chris.
This is not funny, Chris thought.
Well, that is your reward for trying not to listen to advice. His mother said giggling.
(THE DAY OF RESUMPTION)
Chris was dressed in white shirt and blue knickers and a red top armed with two travelling bags containing his load.
Make sure you don't forget all the advice I have given to you, don't let friends influence you. My son, hearken not to the voice of evil friends, and I pray that the Lord will be with you throughout your stay in Greater Heights. In Jesus name
(AT GREATER HEIGHTS)
Daddy bye, Chris said. Bye and be a good boy, Mr. Sola said as he left Chris to face his studies at greater heights.
By the next day, Chris was done packing his luggage into the room that was shared among five students, including him. Three of them were new JSS1 students while the other two were JSS3 students.
The second day, Chris got to Greater Heights. In the afternoon, the oldest JSS3 students sought for introduction from the newest members of the room.
My name is Sola Chris, a new JSS1 student. Chris began and Continued. My father is a Mechanical engineer who works as the deputy managing director of Malaco limited, and I'm eleven years old.
Molaco limited! The remaining four students exclaimed.
That is a Company that produces cars, bikes and other machines. Said Kola the oldest in the room.
You better don't let older Seniors know about this because they would believe that you came with much pocket money. So they would collect your pocket money and if you refuse you will receive the most thorough beating of your life said Bukayo.
My name is Okagbare Beloved. My father is a banker at Sure Save Bank. I'm eleven years old. "That's good," said Bukayo.
My name Adesola James. My father is adviser for the governor of the state. I'm ten years old.
Wow! That's nice. Said Kola.
Well my name is Oyalakun Bukayo, but my friends call me Bukayo Saka. My parents are late, before they died, my father is the popular Nigerian Senator, Sen. Oyalakun James and all the people have been willed to me but put in care of an organisation,with the instruction from my parents that until I clock twenty years of age . But I have kept this because of senior bullies . I'm going to clock fourteen next month.
My name is Abdul Wahab Kola, my dad is a doctor. He works at the state teaching hospital as the chief surgeon. Said Kola. I'm fourteen years old.
In this room we have rules, do not make noise, you don't bring friends here, unannounced and many other rules we will inform you as time goes on. Said Kola.
. Lest I forget, we would all eat together in this room, so maybe twice in a week, we would all eat together from the same plate so as to show love, and lastly, we have reading hours, because if you don't read, there is no possibly how you are going to pass. Bukayo concluded as he said aa he went out.
Wow! What a nice and inspirational room, said Beloved.
Thank God we were paired with friendly seniors and not harsh ones. James said. Let us listen to all their advices. Concluded Chris.
