"don't worry, i will still give it to you tomorrow" i promised,
"serious? Thanks alot" she murmured happily.
_____ FRIDAY
Waking up the next morning, my heart leapt as i remembered i had to travel to Abuja later in the evening because of Adaora. I really was very much at lost on how to go about it, moreover i had visitors.
Unable to reach any concrete decision, i pushed my thoughts to the back of my mind and prepared for school with the intentiön of carrying out Jenny's advice, "which was having a little talk with the school principal".
7:30AM, Jenny's room
I knocked, entered her room, and smiled her. She was already fully dressed up and prepared for school.
"seems i came right on time" i said with a smile. She laughed, grabbed her handbag and stood up.
"please you will first go with me to the bank, so i can get money for that stuff please" i begged. She rolled her eyes and tried to hesitate, i quickly held her left hand.
"please it won't take much of your time" i pleaded. She stared into my eyes, shrugged and accepted.
10AM, Principal's office
"sir i came to apologize for my rudy behaviour since i came into your school, seriously teaching isn't my thing and i equally wasn't a good student during my university days. I'm ashamed to admit it but i have no choice. Please do ignore, forgive and forget. It's just a matter of months before i leave your school for good. Sir this envelope is my show of appreciation for tolerating me. I know it isn't enough but please manage it and help me" i begged with a fast pounding heart as i gave him the envelope with shaking hands. I really was immensely scared because anything could happen that moment.
He refused to take the envelope, but instead stared at me suspiciously,
"what's in it?" he asked,
"just ten thousand Naira sir" i replied with quivering lips. He breathed deeply.
"what do you say it is for?" he asked curiously, his eyes searching me keenly,
"it's just a gift of appreciation for accepting me in your school" i murmured.
"oh i see" he nodded seriously.
"Mr Val i really can't risk you teaching my students anymore. You can hand over all the teaching materials you got from us to the Dean of studies. From now henceforth you will be my assistant, working directly for me. You can now go and prepare yourself for the task ahead" he said with a serious look which was wrapped up with a smile. I quickly stood up and thanked him.
"drop your gift on the table" he ordered. I quickly obeyed, while carefully covered the envelope with a newspaper without touching it.
_____ Staff room
Jenny was the only person in the staff room when i got there minutes later. She looked up anxiously as soon as she noticed my presence.
"i think he bought my idea. I'm now free as a bird, thank you Jenny" i poured out happily. She instantly stood up and hugged me with joy.
"i'm glad you are happy" she murmured sweetly.
"At last i'm now free to do as i wish" i murmured. But my scheduled trip to Abuja quickly ran into my mind once again, putting the fear of God into me.
