“What if you
were shot” the vice principal shouted. He had warned that, any student
practicing truancy will pay dearly for it. They had no pity for me because I
was a senior student and I knew the school rules too well to be ignorant of
them. The week before, I was reported to the school authority for scribbling my
nick name on the school dining hall; the preps coordinator pulled me aside, and
held the loose ends of my trousers such that it was tight and my behind was now
stiff and more exposed to his whip. He best me up like eggs, my body was aching
all over. Just last Friday, I had a case with him; he suspected that I was in
possession of a cell phone in school and it was prohibited but I denied bluntly
and he had to call off the case since he lacked clues. The vice principal told
me to report at his office the next morning, being Friday.
