The Unexpected Love...

Some stretched their heads to look into the principal’s office while some, like Tochi admired Wisdom who stood on the higher cemented area meant for teachers alone. Esther saw how she was staring at him, then she tapped her.
“Isn’t he handsome?” she asked.
“Who?” Tochi asked.
“The person you are admiring and staring at”
Tochi smiled and bent down her head.
“Don’t be shy, feel free. I don’t have anything to do with him again. His love goes for only one girl” Esther told her then she raised up her head.
“Who’s the girl?” she asked
“Come on don’t pretend as if you don’t know. Do you love him too?”
The question made Tochi’s heart beat faster again staring at Esther. Though Melody was there but had no interest on their conversion. She was so enthusiastic and anticipated to see Jennifer and Calista coming out of the office.
Tochi gradually nodded her head in agreement to Esther’s question.
“Have he proposed?” Esther was still inquisitive and Tochi nodded her head again.
“And what did you say?”
“I rejected him”
“Why?!”
“I didn’t want to hurt you”
Esther remained silent staring at her thinking how truthful and sincere she was. “Come here” she gave her a hug.
“Both of you have started your own abi?” a male voice said from behind. “Let’s finish with these lesbians before you start yours” he added and the statement brought Melody’s attention.
“Won’t you close your hole there?!” she rebuked him.
“Don’t mind him!” Esther supported. She disdained the very boy and turned to Tochi again.
“Listen, you have to follow your heart, okay? Forget about me”
“Okay, thank you” Tochi was more than happy and started looking an opportunity to return her words to Wisdom. Just at that moment, the principal and all other teachers came out with Jennifer except the one who was with Calista in the office.
“Silent!!” Wisdom exclaimed and the noise gradually died down.
Jennifer was covered with shame, so she couldn’t look at anybody. Students could see tears dropping from her eyes and their ears were itching to know the actual cause of the abominable act.
“Students!” the principal began but nobody responded because they knew he doesn’t start a speech like that unless he’s very angry. “You want to bring down this school. I’m shocked on what my ears have heard and my eyes seen this morning. I will not say much but i want to give Jennifer Mbakew here chance to utter the cause of what happened this morning”
Everywhere became quiet that even a fallen pin could be heard.
“What’s she waiting for? speak up!!” Mr Anuma exclaimed and the tears began to pour like a rain from Jennifers eyes.
“I-i-i used a love charm meant for Wisdom on Calista mistakenly” Jennifer confessed with a low voice and the students shouted, “Heeeehhh!”. Immediately, Linda turned to look at Tochi while Wisdom quickly went down from the higher cemented area to Chester looking woozy.
“Tell us how you got the charm!” the principal shouted.
“Yes, tell us!” the students supported.
“I got it from my mother without her knowledge”
“Heeeeehh!!”
“Please, someone should go and call her mother and Calista’s parents too” the principal instructed and two boys ran out. “Look at what a teenager can do because of a boy. A student who suppose to be studious and prepare for her examinations!”
“Oh Lala!” Mr Anuma exclaimed at principal’s words.
“After this case is resolved i will have no other option than to take the rightful judgment. This should serve as a lesson to you all that are involved with diabolical or evil activities!” he angrily walked inside his office followed by other teachers and Jennifer leaving the floor for Mr Anuma.
“I am passing through acrimonious situation now” Mr Anuma began. “Because of this very act Jennifer has automatically become an acquaintance to you all”
“Sir what is acquaintance?!” a male student shouted from behind.
“Shut up your trap there! You that have refused to make use of your edutainments!” Mr Anuma replied and the students began to giggle. “Wisdom!” he called.
“Yes, sir!”
“Come up here” Wisdom stood beside him. “You are the one who would have fallen victim to this incredible and unfathomable predicament!”
“Heeeehhh! Sir easy oh!” the students shouted laughing at the same time.
Mr Anuma continued, “I believe that your accentuated complexion is the one causing all these and making girls to do the unbelievable, even still with this undernourished body of yours. Oh Lala!!”
“Oh Lala!!” the students repeated and Mr Anuma walked inside the office without smiling. Wisdom didn’t know what to say or do because the grammar got him confused. He could see Tochi and Esther smiling at him, then he said, “Pls, return 2 ur classes b4 you receive another grammar”

Season 1
Episode 34
:
Mrs Mbakwe was just returning with leaves and a knife in her hands when two boys in uniform arrived. They adjusted backward when they saw the knife and the leaves.
“God morning, madam” they greeted, then Mrs Mbakwe turned. She wore a fairy pink gown with a black trouser under. She had a fair complexion and a low cut hair on her head. She was surprised to see the students standing far from her and looking scared.
“Any problem?” she asked.
“Our principal sent us to you”
“Why? Come closer nah!”
“No oh! We are okay here” they responded at the same time looking at each other and took another step backward. Seeing that, Mrs Mbakwe suspected that something must have gone wrong somewhere.
“Why is your principal calling me?” she asked.
“Because of your daughter, Jennifer”
“Hey! I hope nothing has happened to my daughter oh!” she kept the knife and the leaves immediately and followed the boys who took on their heels immediately too.

#SCHOOL_COMPOUND
The prefects took over the school since the teachers weren’t available. They made sure all the students remained in their classrooms without making noise.
Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Jacob, Calista’s parents were already in the office vibrating. The mother took hold of her daughter who was still making a sexual move.
“We warned her severally to stay away from this daughter of a witch but she wouldn’t listen!” Mr Jacob shouted from the seat where he was sitting with a walking stick. He was exact resemblance of Calista with a native attire and one could see white beards on her jaw.
“Do you know Jennifer’s mother?” the principal asked him.
“Who doesn’t know the wicked witch!” Mr Jacob began. “She can go to an extreme just to get what she wants even by force!” he added with all bitterness, then the principal exhaled deeply and glanced at Jennifer who was kneeling before everybody and shedding tears. Suddenly, Mrs Mbakwe arrived and Mrs Jacob rushed her.
“You have to kill me oh!” she shouted and grabbed her legs. “You and your daughter will kill me today!” she added.
Seeing that, teachers separated them and calmed her down. Mrs Mbakwe was still perplexed about the whole issue. She took a good look at her daughter and Calista even her parents who she knew very well.
“Principal what happened?” she asked curiously.
“I think your daughter is in a good condition to answer that” Mr Nelson replied, then she turned to Jennifer.
“What have you done, Jennifer?” she asked, but she kept quiet.
“Your daughter brought a love charm to school” Mr Nelson began. “She was actually targeting my senior prefect, a male student but she ended up using it on a her friend!”
“What?!” Mrs Mbakwe exclaimed looking at her daughter. “Jennifer, where did you get love charm from?” she asked.
“I used the leave you gave to that man yesterday”
“You deed what?! Hey!”
“Madam, shouting will not solve the problem now” Mr Anuma began. “Just get a solution on how to bring back this girl to her normal senses”
“Please, I’m really sorry” Mrs Mbakwe apologized. “There is actually a solution. Let me go home and come back” she rushed outside.
Few minutes later, she came back with a water on a white bowl. Students who saw her stared at her through the windows.
“Is that her mother?” Tochi asked Linda.
“Yes, an old wicked witch!”
“Hmm, what’s she carrying?”
“Who knows? Probably they want to reverse the charm”
Tochi folded her hands staring at her until she entered into the office, then she turned to Linda again. “I want to tell you something?” she said.
“I’m all ears”
“Wisdom finally proposed”
“What?! I mean, what did you say”
“I turned him down”
“Better!”
“But you know what? Inside me, i love him and want to go back and approve the proposal”
“What about Esther?”
“She was the one that actually told me to do so”
Linda thought for a while. “I believe the road is open for you now?” she said smiling.
“You mean i can proceed?”
“Yes, you are so lucky” they smiled uncontrollably.
*
At the very sight of all the teachers, Mrs Mbakwe washed Calista’s face with the water from the bowl and immediately she regained herself. She looked at everybody surprisingly, even Jennifer. “Mama” she called.
“Oh my daughter” she embraced her.
“What happened?”
“My dear, i will tell you when we get home” Calista looked at Jennifer again. She couldn’t just comprehend what was going on.
“Principal, i want to take my daughter home” Mrs Jacob requested.
“Please, go on” they left even the Mr Jacob followed them angrily.
“Please, Mr principal” Mrs Mbakwe began “I apologize unbehalf of my daughter. Forgive her, please. As you can see she took the charm without my knowledge because i wouldn’t have allowed her. Na this things dey give me small small money, biko gbahara”
“I’m sorry madam” the principal said. “Your daughter has been expelled from this school”
“Hey!”
“Since her name is already on waec candidate list, she’s only eligible to come back here during d examination time!” Mr Nelson concluded..
