Chapter 4: School life
In a classroom that looks like the last time it was painted was ten years ago, fan with all four hands folded and a bulb that isn't working, a teacher was sitting on one of the students desks deeply lost in her phone.
The owner of the desk was absent that day and the teacher capitalized on that chance as it was not everyday that a teacher will come to a class and see a desk arranged in front of the class for the teacher to relax on.while the teacher was lost in her phone, majority of the student were sleeping.
The ones that were not sleeping were on their phones.
Only the class monitor was studying.
Kwabena Ofori was one of those on their phones.
He raises his head up,look left and right every minute to see if a teacher is passing right by their classroom because if a teacher were to pass by and see them on their phone in class there's an 80% chance that the phones will be seized.
He put the phone in his bag after thirty minutes to brush through his e-math text book.
This has been the the daily occurrence of what Kwabena and his classmates do when there are instances like this or when there is no teacher in the class.
There were ten science classes and they were between 7 and 10 when it comes to average grades. Although they were not the worst in grades, every teacher of theirs has told them their class is the worst class to teach.
The only time they become active in class is when their Core math teacher comes in.
Mr. Best would always give tests to the students whenever he finish a topic and if you were to be below the passing mark that is 70/100 then you're a dead person. Sometimes he would disgrace you with words, sometimes he would beat the hell out of you and sometimes he collects money.
If he comes to class before you then you have to pay ranging from 1Ghana cedis to infinity. You just have to pay what you can afford.
They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but what if the beauty is so beautiful that everyone agrees.
Yes, those were the beautiful days.
Kwabena parents will always tell him that math is everything and that if you know maths then everything else will be easy.
But those words never swayed Kwabena.
He was too lazy to practise mathematics everyday.
It was too tiring. Why would he practice equations when there are countless novels he is yet to read?
Why would he?
His parents told him to go to church to pray so that the laziness,whether physical or spiritual will be removed from him but he doesn't like crowded places.
He was an introvert through and through.
Imagine being an introvert and super lazy at the same time.
Can you really imagine that.
Seeing him not going to churches his mother told him to read the Bible every day but will this lazy ass read?
No, He did not. He did believe in God,pray whenever he starts a new day,pray before sleeping and sings only religious songs but as for reading the Bible?
He was to lazy to do so.
Eehm,those of you asking,reading novels and reading other books not the same.
Novels are fun,interesting and it varies.
