PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL.
(BECKY’S CLASS)
:
The Economics teacher’s eyes widened in anger as he looked from one person to another, expecting an answer.

“Have you all suddenly gone dumb? Who stole the money?” he fired while I stood up with shaky legs and hands. Immediately I stood, the whole class began to murmur amongst themselves.

“Quiet!” the teacher ordered, hitting the locker he stood infront in the process. Then he asked me to stand out and face the class and I obeyed.

“I’m sorry sir, I don’t know how the money got into my bag,” I pleaded as tears began to fall from my eyes.

“Really, money now have wings right?” he asked.

“Yes sir,” David stood up. “Bad money have wings, I know Peace and Joy set Becky up,” he said and turned to eye Peace.

“David just shut up and sit down,” Emeka shouted from behind.

“Sir, its a lie,” Peace shrieked.

“All right, Becky, David, Peace and Joy, to the principal’s office now,” the economics teacher said.

“Sir, am also a witness,” Queen stood up too.

“All right, you all should follow me immediately,” he said, picked up his books and walked out of the class while I followed him behind, and by then I wasn’t crying any more, I was weeping…

David came up beside me and held my right hand while Queen held my left.

“Don’t worry Becky, I will be right beside you,” David said trying to cheer me up as he wiped my tears.

“I’m here too,” Queen sq££zed my hand but their actions made me weep the more as my nose began to leak which forced David to use his handkerchief to clean it…
:
INSIDE THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE
:
The matter was explained by the economics teacher and I was asked to kneel down. Though I was crying, I felt angry that I was asked to kneel down and talk. The principal was a young man of about thirty or there about. He wore a black and white suit with well polished shoe and designers wristwatch.
“Becky!” he called.

“Sir,” I looked up..

“So, you mean you don’t know how the money got into your school bag?” he asked as he leaned on his desk.

At that moment I wasn’t thinking straight and I spoke without reasoning first. “With all due respect sir, my mum is very rich and my extended family ain’t doing bad too, my mum gives me five hundred naira everyday for lunch which I don’t use sometimes, what on earth would make me ever think of stealing someone’s money?” I questioned as the tears continued flowing freely.

“You don’t have to sound rude, I know your mom very well and I will call her right away,” the principal said and picked up his phone to dial my mom’s number.

“Please sir, it hasn’t gotten to this, Becky almost had a fight with Peace and Joy yesterday and I think they are responsible for this,” David pleaded.

“Yes sir, they should be questioned,” Queen concurred while Joy eyed her through the corner of her eyes.

“Sir, it’s a lie, she stole my money because she hates me,” Peace retorted.

“For the very last time Peace, respect yourself and stop calling me a thief,” I said almost shouting.

The principal ignored our arguments and still went ahead to call my mom. I watched him as he spoke to my mom on phone…

Seconds later, he dropped the phone and faced me, “Your mom will be here in no time, Mr John, please go back and continue teaching,” the principal said while the Economics teacher thanked him and left…
:
MINUTES LATER.

My mom barged into the office. From the look on her I could tell she was boiling inside of her.

“Becky!” Mom called and pulled me up into her arms. “What happened?” she inquired and cleaned my face while I sniffed and explained everything to her.

After the explanations, mom turned to face the principal, “Sir, my daughter might be rude and arrogant at times but no one can ever question her character,” she fired.

“I take exception to that ma!” the principal stood up and put his left hand in his left trouser pocket.

“Take exception to what, mr principal?
Are you trying to draw to a conclusion that my daughter is a theif?” Mom shouted and released me while I stepped aside.

“Ma, she stole my money,” Peace said from behind, but unfortunately for her, mom turned and landed her a slap, more thunderous than the one David had given to her.

“Don’t you dare open your smelling gutters to accuse my daughter ever again,” she shouted and faced the principal again.

“For your information, my daughter is very neat both inside and out and she tells me everything that happens to her be it good or bad. I believe she’s wrongly accused because of the misunderstanding they had because of their head boy,” Mom concluded and placed her hands akimbo while tapping her foot on the tiled floor continously.

As soon as mom said that, I felt happy within me coz I knew so many hidden stuffs will unfold…
