The heat is too much, how I wish it can be omitted from face of the earth. After doing the makeups and everything you would end up using your hands to clean it up with a handkerchief due to heat which would be springing out like water.
On a monday morning I was trying to clean up my dusty desk when one of my colleague came to my class and told me that the head of school wanted to see all of us, according to him he had something important he would like to get to our notice.
I quickly dropped the rag in my hand and followed my colleague to the head of school office where the rest of my colleagues where already waiting, they had to wait for everyone to be present first before anything would happen. When everyone was present he started giving his speech, talked about sone little stuffs mostly things that concerned the school and at the end of his long speech he told us he had an assignment for us.
He asked us to write down what he was about to say and that we should do it and submit it the next Monday, we jotted it down and left his office. You could just Imagine who on earth would give a teacher an assignment if not someone like our head of school, we all went to our respective classes thinking on what to write concerning what he gave us.
The date of submission reached and we all head to his office to submit it, at the end of day he asked us to come back to collect our assignment. He commended others while he showed others their faults, after everything he asked everyone to leave his office except me saying he had something to discuss with me.
When we were left alone he said while marking my own assignment he noticed that I had a special talents and that he knew I had a bright future, I was happy to hear that and I thanked him, he then said he wanted me to always be free with him because I am now his friend, We discussed a bit and he released me to go to my class.
Some days went by and the man started behaving funny around me, people around me said that is how he normally behave, that he is fond of sleeping with ladies and he would to do anything to get down with any lady he wants. I was shocked that was something new to me, here I was seeing him like a father figure.
Some staffs who had stayed there longer said some of those people who rejected his advances and offer where treated badly and some other consequences followed. I was confused and didn't know what to do so I started avoiding anything that had to do with him, like if we were supposed to drop a file ar something in his office I would ask someone to do it for me.
It got to a time where he came to my class and said he wanted to see me in his office when am less busy, I guess my own games caught up with me, Sincerely I was confused that day I had to escape and go home after closing. I just had to pray about it and I told God to turn the man's eyes away from me, I took it as a simple prayer and I stood up.
The next day when he saw me he just passed me as if he didn't see me, I was thinking maybe he didn't really see me. Another day he was going through the classes to supervise and he entered my class I greeted him and he responded coldly, I was shocked maybe something happened so I thought to myself.
That was how I escaped that impending doom and unfortunate, it was more like a miracle to me but I knew God heard me, those days were my dark moments and I could just see them as nightmares. Thanks for reading through remain blessed.
