Mary:so tell us about the practical..sir..

Mr Okoro:I can’t..until you pay the twenty thousand naira..first..

Mary:but sir..we can’t just go to the calling room and tell our parents to send us money just for a practical we barely no something about..

Mr Okoro:then you ll fail..that’s enough..by next week Monday..I want the money for the practical..else..you all won’t be allowed to enter my class..back to our lesson for the day.. reproduction..*

*I didn’t enjoy throughout the class..it was just too boring for me..for the first time..I lost interest in a subject..maybe because of the way Mr Okoro has been acting recently and to top it all how will I get the money for the practical..ugh..I don’t even know where to get the money from..God help me..I kept on thinking on until I heard the bell for lunch time..I and Mary stood up as oluchi.. vera and juliana interrupted

Vera:hi girls..

Mary:hmm..(exited)

Theresa:hello..vera

Vera:what’s wrong with your friend Mary?

Theresa:don’t worry about her

Oluchi:so..would like to sit with you for lunch..if you don’t mind..?

Theresa:sure..it’s cool

Juliana:alright girls..let’s go..am starving..

We all exited to the dining hall as we were served our food..I felt a little bit prejudiced with not sitting next to Mary..on our usual spot but nevertheless..I think I need to go a day off from Mary..she’s just too over serious..with what she does.. where as vera and her friends..or would I say..my new friends..are very funny..and cool..

Juliana:that stupid man..how on Earth how we gonna get twenty thousand naira ehn?

Vera:it’s easy..

Theresa:its not easy..for me..

Vera:well..there’s an ushering job on Sunday..and they LL pay us..fifteen thousand naira per night..I think we should go for it..

Theresa:ushering job..?but how?

Vera:uhm..

Just then the lunch bell rang for lunch over as I stood up from my seat..and headed back to the hostel..on my way I sighted my bestie..you know na..Mary

Theresa:Mary..

Mary:hmm..Tessy..

Theresa:why the hmm?don’t tell me you are jealous because I didn’t sit with you at the dining hall..

Mary:why would I be?just be careful with those girls..that’s all I can say..

Theresa:so when are we gonna get the money for the practical..?

Mary:I’ll call my dad..you should do same..I have to go now.. principal martha sent for me..see you later..

Theresa:alright girl..

Mary:(exits)

*Hmm how on earth will I get the money for this sudden practical that’s coming up.. Mary’s case is settled at least she’s from a wealthy background..what about me?my parents haven’t even eaten enough and I want to ask for money from them..hmm uncle emeka..oh jeez..I don’t even have his phone number..my God..and even though I do..I don’t think he’ll be able to give me..so quickly..because it’s too sudden..what will I do ? Different thoughts kept running into my mind until I remembered the ushering job..vera was talking about..yes.. the ushering job..at least even if I give mr okoro fifteen thousand naira.. he’ll hold done for the remaining five thousand naira..or what should I do?and how am I even sure they LL pay me the money completely..?
