He wouldn't deny the fact, he didn't wake up from the right side of the bed. He hasn't been in a good
mood since he woke up.

Immediately he got up, he went straight to the bathroom, took his bath, dressed up and left the hostel. He didn't even go for breakfasts.
And the fact whatever Xavier had been saying wasn't making sense to him, played an important role in
pissing him off. He hated wearing ties, but had no other choice to do so. He was the Senior Prefect and
needed to lead by example.

The jingle bell had been rung, it's a few minutes past time for the first lesson, sighting a particular person, he leaves Xavier's company. He wasn't the punctuality prefect neither was he the disciplinary, but punishing this particular student, was something
he derived pleasure in doing.

Prefects weren't allowed to flog or give certain punishments, in a situation where even teachers weren't allowed to flog too. But Hilton Colledge's prefects never relents, you close one door, they open another, there was always a way to show those junior's they were superior to them, and they didn't need to flog to prove that.

"Ash" He heard Xavier call out to him, but simply ignores him, whatever the guy was saying wasn't making any meaning to him.

Cherish pulls unto Zara while they hurried down to the classroom, they were already late, and could tell a teacher was already in their class. They had been giving the senior secondary school uniform, so they were looking neat, plus the fact the school uniform was brand new.

They were now officially in senior secondary school. Their uniform was a was a white long-sleeved shirt, blue plane skirt, with a dark blue blazer and tie to match, they all wore black socks, all wore black socks, which was highly recommended by the school.

White socks wasn't accepted in Hilton College.

Cherish cringed inside, while they approached the little crowd formed close to Senoir's block. Her class wasn't far away from there.

She knew it was the senior's at work, they would never stop. Zara wasn't feeling fine, so she was part of the delays, she had to wait for her to sluggishly finish whatever she had to do in the hostel, before following her down to the cafeteria, where she almost spent an eternity eating.

It wasn't something new, Zara was very dull when it came to preparations for school, excuse the fact she was sick today. To top it up, she never got punished, but there wasn't a day Cherish wasn't punished.

When Cherish noticed this, she got furious and decided to force Zara out of her comfort zone, or most times leave her behind, but she still always got punished, that was when she found out, it wasn't Zara but her. Because even though she came late or early, he must always find a way to get her punished.

Praying silently she doesn't run into him or he wasn't there, she pulls Zara, increasing there pace, on getting to the small crowd, they stopped, looking around just to see few SS2 students, majority were in
SS1.

"I don't know what you guys would be doing in the hostel, that would make you come to class so
late;" Senior Eno says, she was the punctuality prefect.

Students hated her, according to them she was wicked, but to Cherish she was okay. There where certain wicked seniors she hated. And she was silently praying not to bump into any, because they would take advantage of this situation and punish her.

Most times she wondered why certain people hated her, because she hadn't done anything wrong to deserve such. She wasn't the talkative, she was never at the spotlight, so why hate her for no reason.

"Go into your classrooms. Fools!" Senior Eno barks. Now this was one of the reasons junior's hated her, she never hesitated to use abusive words on students.

Thanking the lord secretly, Cherish turns around, trying to pull Zara who looked weak along with her, most of the students were already running into there classrooms.

"The fair girl on blazers. Come over here." Cherish pauses immediately she heard this, looking around,
she noticed she wasn't the only fair girl, but the one on blazers,and she recognised the voice instantly.

She could even recognise even though she were to be asleep.

"Stop looking around, I am talking to you." The voice is heard again.This time around clearer, which meant he was closer. Cherish turns-around only to meet the stern look on his face, meanwhile Zara greets.

"Senior Ashley. Good morning!" She says, trying to keep a straight face.Meanwhile, Cherish doesn't bother to greet, she knew, she was getting punished no matter what.

She didn't know what she ever did to Senior Ashley, when she talked about Seniors who always looked for every opportunity to punish. her, before Senior Ukeme and Ekanem, he was at the top of the list.

Right from when she was in JSs3. She wondered if it was always in JSS3 block he always came to exercise his powers, not just that, she was always his scapegoat.

"You came late, follow me!" He orders. "You can go to your classroom, " He says to Zara who hesitates a while, turning to. Cherish.

"I said go to your classroom." He orders, making Zara almost jump..His voice was scary to her. He had always scared them, Cherish wasn't exception.

Being Senior's was a very sweet feeling, adding been a prefect to it, was perfection. You could do whatever you wanted to, attend class or cafeteria whenever you felt like under the pretext of trying to control the students.

Jewel was already exhausted, she had just finished yelling and chasing out every Junoir students from the hostel. And was currently on her way to Geraldine's room.

She knew she hadn't gone to class yet, because she never left without her.

Walking down to Geraldine's room, she almost gets hit by a classmate, which makes her stop and turn back.

"Evelyn, please try to always make use of your eyes." She hisses.

"Because it's not for fancy." She says to Evelyn who new better than reply to Jewel.

Knowing Jewel, she knew she wasn't going to leave if they start exchanging words. So ignoring her
was ideal, and she knew that aspect was going to make Jewel more furious, they stayed In the same
dorm during the previous section. She knew Jewel so well.

Hissing Jewel turns around, intending to go over to Geraldine's room only to meet the sight of Geraldine, who was currently laughing at something which Veronica seemed to be telling her.

That moment her countenance changed. The fact she and Geraldine wasn't assigned to the
same room annoyed her, to top it. all up. She and Veronica where, it made her boil inwards.

Jewel stands at the same spot, she doesn't move. Her face isn't bright at all. She didn't know how to hide her emotions, and she didn't bother hiding it.

Her gaze suddenly meets Geraldine's. She could see her face lits up. Veronica who was smiling too,
Jewel rolls her eyes, involuntarily. She could see the confusion on Veronica's face.

"Jew.., "

"Gidi, come with me, you need to help me with something," Jewel says, even before Geraldine could. make a statement, she gradually. pulls Geraldine, meanwhile Veronica attempts to follow them.

"Don't you have something to do. with your time?" Jewel blurts out without thinking. "I'm not
comfortable talking to my friend In the presence of strangers," Jewel says, suddenly turning to Geraldine who had a blank look on her face.

On getting into the Laboratory, the first thing Cherish sights makes her move back a little. She saw him dipping his hand into her virginal, it was so visible, the girl In question, was just busy making some kind of noise, which wasn't pleasant to her hearing.

Her skirt was pulled up to her tummy, and shirt slightly removed. Cherish stylishly turns to Ashley who also had a confused look on his face.

The both of them stood there without uttering a word. It seemed like the person's in question, sensed something was wrong, that they had company, because they suddenly stopped.

The guy in question turns around, exposing the face of the girl. Cherish recognized them. immediately. The girl was an SS2 student. Also who wouldn't recognise Senior Nathan, she
already knew by his hair, but still had some doubts.

"Madam! What are you starting at? Will you get to work?" Ashey suddenly says turning to Cherish, in a rude tone. She knew better than respond to him. She was already used to her work.

Most times, she was asked to clean a neat laboratory, most times library. This was more like a wicked act to her. Her mates were in the class learning. While an evil senior was here turning her to a slave. Was it not the same school fees his parents where paying hers where paying?

"Fine Rihanna!" Nathan calls out. and chuckles. This wasn't the first time, he was openly calling her that. At least it was more like a compliment to him. Ashley bluntly called her orgor because of her forehead.

To her, it wasn't that obvious, but Nigerians would always look for a reason to taunt you.

She doesn't respond, she only attempts to move, but gets stopped by someone's voice, which made her, almost jump out of her skin.

"Ashley, please pardon her." She didn't know where Senior Eva came from, but she was her saving
grace.

Walking into the noisy classroom, everywhere suddenly becomes quiet. Which makes Geraldine halt at first. Jewel on the other hand doesn't stop, she carefully looks around, only to see most of her classmates staring at her, with an amused look on there faces.

Her eyes meets a particular pair of eyes, there was no excitement In it, more like he was confused, at how calm the class suddenly was.

It was obvious he was expecting a teacher. She noticed there was no resemblance between him and Jason, neither Jewel. They were all different. It would be difficult to tell they where triplets.

Tearing her gaze from his, and looking around the classroom over again.

Full aware what it was all about, she let's out a small hiss, attempting to move sit, only to get hit by something, which makes her fall flat to the floor.

The whole class erupts into laughter. The humiliation she felt that moment was out of the world, and to think it was done on purpose made her boil inside, sha stares from the shoe, down to Ekanem's smiling face.

Jewel on the other hand had rushed to her immediately, lending her hand for support, Geraldine. doesn't bother to use it, she gets to immediately, feeling so humiliated and angry.

She looks from Ekanem down to Ukeme who were laughing, the laughter in the class had died down
a little. Ekanem faces revealed everything.

The whole class suddenly gasps, when Geraldine's hands gets in contact with Ekanem's face.

It wasn't a slap but a punch. Which she gave twice. The look on Ekanems face, was a sight to behold. You could see she was shocked, more like a mixture of shock and pain.

"Gidi!" Nengi yells twice, meanwhile Ukeme attacks Geraldine from the side, causing the whole class to become rowdy.
