I enjoyed playing football.

So, I drafted a time-table for our football matches. I happened to be the captain of my club. So whenever I leave the school after closing, I would return to the field to get our matches set. I would go to my friends' schools to wait for them until they are through and whenever they are through we would run to the field and play till night.

So our principal asked us one day to bring out the reading time table he asked us to make ourselves. I remembered I haven't done mine so I tore a sheet of paper blindly from my bag. When I looked at the paper, to my surprise, it was a note I tore. Eww... Gawd.

I opened my eyes and got a plain sheet. I started making the table. I made the table sharply and went out to join my mates.

Principal: (pointed at me with his cane) Hey you! Why are you just coming?

me: (trying my best to avoid a shake in my voice) hmmn...I forgot my tie inside the class so I went I was searching for it...(my conscience gave my mind Taaooma slap. "why did you add that one to it")

Principal: (rushed to me with his canes) why did you remove your tie in the first plac...(word never land finish, gbolagbadagbudu. I ran join assembly)

principal: (pointed at me) come hia! I'm checking your reading time table first.

.

I streched my paper to him, then he opened it. I was already using one eye to see my classmates, the next thing I heard was,

Principal: waaaaaaaaaaaaaat!, my teachers come and see... Monday, king boys club vs Lions palace club 5:00pm prompt

(he made that devilish laughter, I was holding my head)

Tuesday, Giant star club vs Erujeje boys club 5:30pm prompt.

Wednesday Thinkers football team vs youngsters pillars 6:00pm prompt.

Thursday, Erujeje boys club vs Lions palace club 4:00pm prompt no african time.

Friday, King boys club vs Youngsters pillars 4:30pm prompt.

Saturday, Thinkers football team vs Giant stars club. Bet money is not refundable ooo... (there was an uproar of laughter everywhere.)

I was laid on the table like a goat that day. I knew I was a stubborn and unrepentant goat. So I took the strokes like a goat.

If you buy things from your friends, please pay them their money and in full too, don’t owe them in the name of friendship. 

Please don’t be unfortunate by buying things on credit and waiting for the person to ask you about it first. Clear your debt!!!!
