CAMARADERIE TROUBLES
CHAPTER 5
We entered Mrs. Stella's big and beautiful office.
"Sit down", she politely ordered. We relaxed on the sofa.
"I made a little mistake while announcing. I actually need a senior student in SS1 and two senior students in your class."
Amirah came in. She was a girl in SS1. She was the most brilliant girl in her class.
"Taofeek, I will see you later," she said.
"Alright ma" He bowed and walked out.
I laughed silently. I knew that would never happen. Mrs. Stella had softly told him he wouldn't take part in the competition. I knew he would go to a corner, feeling bad. I planned to go comfort him after the meeting.
Three students in the junior secondary school entered the office.
"Good afternoon ma. We were told you wanted to see us ma." Ayodeji said on behalf of the others, with the deepest humility.
"Yes, I called for you. Join them" She pointed at us.
"I believe you all are aware of the reason I called you into my office."
"Yes, we are ma" We chorused.
