Chapter 8 After

The next day at school, the fight that happened at the party was the topic of discussion, they said someone had informed the police when the fight started and nobody knew who, but they all agreed that it was a good thing that the police arrived, because they had apprehended some of the boys that where fighting but Adeoye and the dark muscular guy who had started the fight managed to escape.

"So Adeoye has a drug cathel?" Mirabel, a thin dark girl in the class had ask, everyone called there the class gossip probably because they think she talks too much or it was because of the way her big lips where sprouted out ward as tho she was always kissing someone or something, either way most of her class mates didn't really like her.

"Must you ask the question out loud?" Victor, one of the boys in the class had replied impatiently, you could probably blame his out burst on the irritation he felt inwardly towards Mirabel . "What if a teacher had walked in now and asked you to explain what you have said would you have had the guts to rat him out?" Another student flung at her..

"It's okay na, I'm sorry, I just wanted to be sure of what I saw at the party last night" She tried to apologise and defend herself at the same time. "Sorry for yourself abeg" more than half of the class shouted at her. " Next time you have to be more....." This student hadn't finished what he was about to say before he was interrupted by the principal Mr kanayo who walked into the class with an angry look on his face.

"So you students hosted an after party without informing the school authority?!!" It was more like he was shouting at them than asking a question hence no one dared to say a word, the class became as silent as a grave yard. "Who and who attended that party?" Mr kanayo continued to ask what seemed like a rhetorical question in the mind of the students as no one thought it was wise to answer him.

"Are you guy deaf?, I'm asking a question." He felt like beating up every body in the class with his bare hands as he repeated his question "let me rephrase, which of you attended the after party held at Veronica's bar last night?" ..

"Sir, I was not there o, I don't even know where Veronica's bar is located" Mirabel started, this time around the whole class thought it was wise to follow suit . "I wasn't there too." Buju lied, "sir me too", "me too sir" everyone started to say, "shut up!!! All of you, just shut up" Mr Kanayo cut in impatiently.. "I'm going to get everyone of you suspended if you refuse to come clean. Perhaps when your parents ask you why you are at home instead of in school you would have an explanation to give". He concluded as he stormed out of the class. The students couldn't help but wonder why he was so upset because of an ordinary party, or perhaps he might have heard of the students that where arrested. "Me, I don't won't to get suspended o, I will tell the principal everything." Mirabel had announced to the class . "Shut up and sit down there" the whole class shouted at her . "We need to find a way to cover up everything".
