The Devil You Know...

You know how you're just sitting down at a place and then all of a sudden, you get this random thoughts of something that once happened in the past and we have no idea why our brain decided to replay such memory.

Well it's currently 1:50am (Nigeria time) and I just had one of those. And though I will be posting this later in the day, I'm currently sitting on my bed and typing away on my phone with blood on my hands (literally) because I just killed a mosquito just because I don't want to forget about this when I wake up much later in the morning.

Anyways, I'm sure you guys must be dying to know what the random memory that popped up my mind is. Well some few years back, while I was still in highschool, I wasn't always the brightest student in class. So it was time for exams and my school had a system for writing exams. We had this big hall where everyone sits to take their exams but just before you enter the hall, you're given a seat number. That way, they get to place you far away from your classmates.

Well we all got into the hall after receiving our number and as we all got seated, I realized one of my classmates was sitting really close to me. The school must have made a mistake or something but who cared, I know I didn't.

Anyways, so the exam started and everyone is writing, everyone except me because for some reasons, none of the three pages I read came out as a question. So here I was, watching "my friend" and my soon-to-be saviour writing as if he was copying the answer out of an invisible book right in front of him.

"Daniel, number one, have you done number one?" I whispered to Daniel but there was no response. "It must be the exam pressure" I thought or maybe he's too focused on what he's writing and doesn't want to be disturbed so that he doesn't forget the answer he had in his head, it happens. So I decide to wait a little while. "Pssst Daniel, number one, have you answered number one?" I asked again.

This time, he gave me the respect by looking at me, then he shook his head, telling me he hasn't done number one.

"Okay, cool. There are four other questions aside from number one" I said to myself again. "Which of the numbers have you answered?" I whispered again, this time I was desperate to write anything even if it was number 5c.

"I'm not done, when I'm done, I will let you know." Daniel whispered back to me, giving me all the assurance I needed so I relaxed. By the time he was done, I would have series of answers to copy. I'm a fast writer so that wouldn't be a problem.

Ladies and gentlemen, words couldn't describe how I felt when I saw Daniel stand up from his seat and go submit his answer sheet to one of the teachers. He made sure to avoid any form of eye contacts with me as he walked out of the hall. "Oohh have I ever felt so betrayed.."

Tears nearly fell off my eyes but then I needed my eyes to be as clear as ever because I needed to look for someone else to copy from, so I silently consoled myself and got to work but not before I sworn to get back at Daniel.

Few days later and I decided to let the whole thing slide but I knew deep down there was no way I was ever sitting close to Daniel ever again. Even if the school placed us together on the same seat, I would run far away from him for the man was evil.

I don't care what you say Dreem. My younger self felt he was evil and I agree with it. 😅

what class was this???

Early secondary school. Aside from highschool, I really don't know what secondary school classes are called over there in America so I really don't what to call it. Over here, we have Jss1-jss3 (Junior Secondary school) for the youngest secondary school class and Ss1-Ss3(Senior secondary school) for the oldest, I think I was in jss2.

why did you not study?!?!!

Well, why should everyone get to study when you can just copy someone else's work? 🌚😂

prayzz!!!! help me to understand! LOL how was there no question that you saw in the pages???

I never read. That's the truth.

Well, to me, I can not blame him for any reason because exam is simply put to test your ability not for you to copy someone work, the only thing for me to blame him is by telling you to wait but could not do it, but anyway I like how you compose the event and get everyone captured. Thanks you so much.

No more questions from you Dreem. Y'all are suppose to be on my side here, apparently you're not. So no more questions from you.

I will just wait for my real supporters to come around and then I'm sure they're going to see things from my point of view.

Well first of all, to him, it wasn't suppose to feel like cheating.

Just a homie helping out another homie, the bro code Dreem.. He broke the bro code.

And second of all, you may be trying to save my soul but trust me, no one saved my ass when my dad was ass whooping me because I failed the course, no one, not even my mom. I got the beating of a lifetime.

The beating was so hard that it felt like judgement day came early, I got redeemed by force.

Lol! This is so funny, first you thought you had a savior, second you're said savior disappointed you. OMG I feel your pain but actually I've kinda done that to someone. It's not my fault you know I wasn't just in a good mood. Some people would ask you questions and add up your answer to theirs and get an A while you who told them answers get something lower. It's always pretty annoying. So I better shut up and you write what you know. Lol.
