Chapter 1

• Chris POV
• It has been raining cats and dogs for about 5 hours now and by the looks of things it does not seem it's going
• to reduce any time soon, it's already
• 5 minutes was 8AM. I guess I will be late for school today. I am already late just like how I have been coming late to school for the past weeks, but I guess this time I have a good excuse to give for my lateness.
• Who am I kidding, Mr Uche (aka Mr President) does not care if it's raining fire or lightning. Am sure he will still be taking notes of late comers, and he will be keeping an eye for me especially because I have become his regular customer this past weeks
• We gave him the nickname Mr President because this guy knows how to cane like hell, I mean I think he has a PHd in flogging.
• By the way let me tell u about myself
• My name is Daniel Chris, I am a boy obviously.
• fair in completion, good looking and very good in sports especially football, I am still in high school SS2 to be more precise.
• I am not the best when it comes to academics but I am not also the worst either, let's just say I am just an average student and lastly I always love watching movies especially late night movies hence always going late to school, which was not a problem until Mr Uche was transferred to our school, all our teachers are lazy when it comes to disciplining students but Mr President that is his joy. It was like food to him....
• Let's get back to the story shall we.
• I arrived at my school around 10:AM, and the rain is still falling, no sight of Mr President in the duty post maybe
• I escaped him this time I thought.
• I quickly ran to my class. On arriving at my classroom... hold and behold MR President is the one taking us maths...... I am so dead!!!
• Mr President is the one taking us maths today. How did I forget that? I felt like slapping myself, why didn't I check my timetable. I thought I had escaped the devil but I didn't know I was walking to meet him
• I summoned all the courage in me and entered the class, I greeted him then walked to sit on any empty seat when..
• “ Is this the time when you are supposed to be in school? " Mr President said with a tight frown and I swallowed hard.
• “ No sir. "
• He continued. “ What have you been doing since at home? I always knew u are a very stubborn boy, I have warned u severally but u still choose to come late. "
• ” B..But sir, it is not my fault. I..It was raining heavily that's why_ "
• The frown on his face became tighter.
• “ Shut up! Is it only in your place that it rained? What about my place and all your classmates, wasn't rain falling there too? "
• I thought to myself how come these guys all came early to school despite the heavy rain that is falling. Are they all witch. because they must have teleported here or something like that, I looked at them and they gave me that look like you are in a pot of hot soup.
• “ You can't answer right? No more excuses right? Now lie down flat on that desk and someone, get me my cane. "
• Mr President said immediately I felt the fear grip me.
• He hasn't flogged me yet but tears were already licking from my eyes; I tried not to let my classmates see, but as soon as the first stroke hit my back. I screamed like a madman. Tears started dropping freely from my eyes as if it's raining inside the room.
• I pleaded with him but my plea only fired him up and made him even more angry. I ended up receiving 12 strokes of the cane. So extremely painful.
• The way I cried made some of my female classmates also start crying with me cause I cried like I was being killed and it did feel like I was being killed.
• “ This will teach you, if you have any brain at all come late again and it will be double, go to your seat!! "...
• During the rest of his period until lunch break I kept on
• crying, I tried to stop myself but I couldn't. Jessica, one of my female friends, tried to talk to me to see if she could calm me down.
• “ Chris why are you crying, it's Okay. Sorry..,but why do you like coming late if you know you don't know how to take cane? "
• I was angry, very angry. It's like all my anger for my teacher just transferred to Jessica. I stopped crying and looked at her, as if I should punch her, but as I saw how scared she was just made me realize she didn't mean to make me angry. Jessica is this type of girl that says much without thinking through first, the only reason why she has a lot of friends is because she is beautiful. I used to have a crush on a long time ago but then I stopped when I realized she is a slut..
• “ Thank you, okay. I'm alright. "
• “ You scared me, I thought you were about to slap me. " She said, looking a bit frightened.
• “ No, it's just you need to learn how to shut up some time. "
• The bell rang for Noon break, and I left Jessica to go get something to eat for lunch in the cafeteria. I saw some of my juniors looking at me laughing and murmuring. I guess they must have known I was the one shouting and crying. I was so embarrassed and my hatred for Mr President grew even greater.
• I immediately left because it was becoming too obvious it was me cus I was hearing some saying cry cry senior. I met my best friend Ayo...
• “ Guy, how far? Did you come late too? " I said.
• “ No, my mum dropped me off in her car. Why didn't any of your parents drop you?"
• “ You know they run shifts right? And they were both on night duty yesterday so I was the only one at home. "
• “ Oh, that's too bad. But that teacher is really heartless. He wants to destroy your back. " He said and we both laughed.
• “ I wish he had a son in our school. I will so beat him up, he will suffer for his father's sins."
• “ Then you are in luck, I don't know if he has a son but I do know he has a daughter and she is transferring to our school next week, he told us himself this morning."
• “ Really I can't wait to meet her, she will wish she never came to this school."
• Hours later the bell rang for closing. I so much love Fridays because I know I won't be receiving any cane for Saturday and Sunday, but I wanted Monday to arrive because I. want to start my pay back on my Teacher's daughter.
