At forcados high school all the students were excited to be back after a long, Summer break. That Morning Jimi and Ansa got to school just before the assembly was due to start.

Jimi left to join the other prefect to conduct the students who were happy seeing each other after the break and busy talking about their experiences during the holiday.

The morning assembly took place in the large hall that stood in the center of the school and students lined up according to their classes.

The school band, looking smart as always had positioned itself in one corner and was already some students were already beating the the drums softly in practice.

Few Teachers were outside the hall, ready to punish late comers by kneeling them down.
At Eight'o clock that morning SEYI LAWAL the head boy called out the National
Anthem. The school band struck up the tune, drums beating and the students raggedly joined in.
The school has the highest football field and the best layout, bright purple and orange bougainvillea had been carefully planted along the fences.

The school buildings were arranged in small one-and-two storey blocks with rows of hisbicus plants, forming small hedges between each class, this makes others often say that the Forcados students were artificial but the school took pride in the fact that it always defeated other schools in regional quizzes and sports.

After the Anthem And assembly prayer Mr Mallum the school principal gave a brief talk welcoming everybody. He was a small, wiry man with an old accent as if he spoke through his nose, this made the students to always imitate him, Mr Mallum talked about the prospective waec students and warmly welcomed the students.

When the assembly was over the students boys in white shirts, black ties and black trouser, and girls in pinafores over white shirt crowded into the hallways and corridors of the school, chatting. Some people greeted Ansa but many more crowded around jimi.

Friends where asking jimmy where he had been, that they missed him, Coachies is annoyed, and would he be among the party that would be hosted that night.
Jimi burst into laughter and chatter.
The first days of term were always the worst. Back to further maths and physics and everyone talking about the latest songs and slangs and also the latest music rocking the town.

Some students wore their ties in odd knots, some have the latest nokia and samsung phones, showing off watches and shoes called "American bling bling".
There were some old people the gorrilla-like Okoro, a miserable bully; Teacher Bade whom students called "cane" was always waiting for the next helpless kid who would fall into his trap.

There were group of five boys who composed hip-hop lyrics called Ryhmers, also Eze the bright spark who was in an unspoken contest with jimi over chemistry results; Finally Gum Chewing Caro(Jimis Caro or vice versa), the queen Bee with her perpetually disdainful expression. Ansa could not understand what jimi saw in caro.

Jimi was best in chemistry in a wizkid in other subjects.
He had won many prizes for the school debate, he was also the health prefect, athletic club captain and best footballer. All the girls loved hin because of all this.
Jimi had been Ansa's hero since primary school because he was good at many things. While Ansa only knew how to paint.

There was a plump girl with short plaits framing her round, with a gentle face she was Nene Ekpo. She lived On same street with Jimi and Ansa and was one of their old friends she came over to where Ansa was, he loved her because she always had the sweetest smile.

She asked Ansa when Jimmy came back, Ansa replied yesterday, they chatted.
She asked Ansa whether she knew a girl called Efua, that she is a relative of Mrs, Ali who lives in Balogun Street not far from their house.

Ansa Replied No, Neither Do I-Not very well she replied. She was at our primary school for a while and she is coming to join us in SS3.
"I Think she had to leave her former school because thats what her aunt told my mum. her aunt wants me to help her settles things when she arrive.

How Was your Holiday she asked Ansa, he replied boring but he went for a one week art workshop.

After School Jimi walked behind the classrooms with and earphone and music turned loud to his ear.

As He walked He taught about his brother return Wole, who has been expelled from many schools severally. And also kicked out of the university. The last Time wole forged his fathers signature and cart away with a huge sum of his fathers money, that made their father never t forgive him.

He always gets angry when he notice jimmy and his brother see each other because he dont want Wole the bad Egg to Corrupt Jimmy.

Now their Father has increased in shouting at everyone at home and also blames Mrs Solade Jimmy Mum For Spoiling All Of Them.

Jimi decided that all these wont disturb him again. Because its time for WAEC...
