Trouble in school (episode8)

Episode 8 The town was small, divided by the main-road and surrounded by sordid brothels housing wayward girls. The motorcylist stopped in front of one of the conspicious brothel and Tom alighted. There was a falling signpost plastered with harsh red, that shone with the name "PARADISE HOTEL." TOM entered the hotel and walked into the small bar. He saw everywhere littered with bottles of beer and smokes of cigarettes as the customers spoke on top of their voices not minding the defeaning noise of music coming from the loud speakers. Immediately, he noticed the school bursar waiting for him. The bursar was already enjoying a bottle of beer. Then he walked up to him and sat down. "What is the latest?" There was an edge in Tom's voice. The bursar had turned out to be a chicken shivering from imaginary police references and cheap traps. "I will not tell you anything, until I see the other fifty thousand," whispered the bursar. His voice modulated by the intoxication of alcohol and great fear. He knew the risk he was taking. Yet he needed the money urgently, if he was to pay his son's school fees. "I gave you fifty thousand naira just three days ago. You keep asking for money without working for it." Tom said angrily as he was becoming uncomfortable with that line of conversation."Look. I'm an elderly man with a family. You' re merely a student, what are you going to do with all that money?" asked Mr. Okolo, the bursar. "I've given you enough. Please, don't just let us argue about money. People are watching," whispered Tom. His eyes roaming over the bar. He couldn't notice a familiar face. Hence he felt safe.

Struggle With The Ghost (my horror dream)

AFTER EXTENSION    It was wednesday, and i went to Oil mill market in port Harcourt to get myself some hair extensions. As I walked past one old woman's "shed", a beautiful pack of hair attachments caught my eye. "Wow!" I thought." i just had to have them".     Two days later, i had the extension attached to my hair. on Monday, I carried them to school. My friends loved them. After school, we were to stay for some extension classes in chemistry. We were supposed to spend an hour and 30minutes. But, it took a lot of time to explain this topic, "SALTS" We ended up closing very late (6:30pm). The friend I usually went home with had left earlier, so i ha to take a taxi home.

WHY YOU SHOULD PURSUE YOUR DREAM

PURSUE YOUR DREAMS After spending several years as a banker living an unsatisfying life, he quit his job and pursued his dreams that gave him the joy and contentment he needed. Chinua Achebe gave up his scholarship to study medicine in Nigeria's foremost university just months into school. Went over to the course he loved, and years later, attained worldwide fame. Many a times, we abandon our dreams for one thing or the other. Probably to fulfill our parents desire, we become lawyers instead of being a nurse. Or maybe because of the society. Or just maybe because of pressure. Beloved, NOTHING has the right to stop you from fulfilling your dreams. Kick out fear, and go all the way to live your dreams. It is unreasonable to spend your life doing what you really do not enjoy doing. Quit what you do not enjoy, and pursue what you enjoy. The decision you refuse to take today will haunt you tomorrow.
