AWARENESS.

Mama will call my name with such a deep voice warranting me to stay away from my phone and get something to learn. But I will put all these into deaf ears and I will continue to play the latest game that came into season"Call of Duty". My mother which I mostly call Mama will stand at the the angle of the room and watch me as if God descended from heaven having dinner with me. She will look at me with an angry face but I will ignore it all. Infact my behavior towards my mom was a great surprise to her. So she decided to have a talk with my dad about it. Infact my behavior changed due to the phone I received from my mom's friend.It was such great influence I had.

The next morning I overheard Mama and my dad which I mostly call "Sergent" because he was once a police officer, having some conversations, infact he was the reason why I knew the word " police" was actually an abbreviation which meant PUBLIC OFFICER FOR LEGAL INVESTIGATIONS AND CRIMINAL EMERGENCIES. They were in the balcony where they had most of their quite time together. My mom was reporting my unusual behaviors which I showed off recently to him. So I decided to go near to listen with all ears open.But my dad didn't believe what my mom said because he knew me to be very humble, smart and eloquent. My dad called out my name with a loud voice to come into the balcony, his aim was to know whether I have actually changed as reported by my mom. He asked me a few questions and with the intellect I have been gifted from God, i answered them with no haste. This gave him that backup that I haven't changed at all. I went back to play the game which I enjoyed most. "Oops" i exclaimed. My phone was as low as it had only 2% of its power. I adopted an idea of going to take my PC to continue the game instead which was a gift from my dad on my 13th birthday.

Mama and dad decided to adopt a plan of hiding my phone so I could stay away from it, so they decided to hide the phone in the Store room. No sooner, my phone was no where to be found. I decided to suspect my parents, so I managed to find the hiding place of my phone with my intelligence. But Mama and Dad didn't know I have seen the hiding place of the phone. "What an intelligent boy " I thought to myself, infact I was so complicent. Mama had reported my behaviours to my teachers at school which I didn't know.

No sooner did 29th July appear like a bright morning Star but unfortunately I haven't learnt anything new for the preparation of our upcoming exam which was porpularly know as B.E.C.E . So I decided to go for a Saturday class to acquire knowledge. When I reached I forgot myself and started talking about trailers of movies and animes to my friends instead of learning. I will argue over unnecessary things in the Saturday class. No Sooner was the class over. It was Monday, and I was Soo happy because that was the day our results will be leashed. During the afternoon whiles we were having our usual boring English class,I saw my mom who normally came to sell fish for some of the teachers in the school, but that wasn't the whole idea. She came to report my whole unusual behavior I displayed in the house. Mama: Good morning sir Dogbe.

Sir Dogbe: Good morning.

Mama: I can here to report to you about my son .

Sir Dogbe: What happened madam.

Mama: Hmm your so called school prefect has changed to the worst. He is always obsessed with his phone always shirk his responsibilities he barely does anything in the house.

Sir Dogbe: Really, this gives me a back up, he now performs poorly in class.

Mama: Pls I want you to deal with him very much for me. My strength cannot do it .

Sir Dogbe: Ok madam I will.

*Sir Dogbe escorts mama outside the school and continue their conversation*. Sir Dogbe which most students feared, because of the funny idea that he was an "ewe" came to the class and called out my name, my motive was that, he was about to instruct me to do the usual tasks I did every Monday afternoon. But it wasn't. I followed him to the quietly, like a lost stranger, I saw all teachers present at the staff which was prohibited to students. The students named the office "Anatomy of Hell" because that was an office reserved for punishing notorious students, So I became frightened. Sir Dogbe sat me down in the cozy room yet I was sweating hastely. He asked me some questions about my recent behaviours at home which my mom recently reported, and I couldn't reply them with tangible answers, so he gave me three potent slaps which led me dizzy like a drunkard. I received six brutal lashes on my "derrière". He sacked me out with shame, I was totally disgraced in front of the teachers because I was the School Prefect of the school. The rumor about what happened in the office spread like wild fire throughout the whole school. *Under the big oak tree which was believed to be possessed* were three gossips of the school.

Linda: Hey guys do you have any idea what happened today.

Margaret and Gifty: No!

Linda: Your so called school prefect was in the "anatomy of hell"

Margaret and Linda: *burst into laughter*

Gifty: The so called "Einstein" of the class.

Margaret: Do you know he topped the whole school during our exam.

Linda: That is not our business.

Gifty: I wonder why he was called there. *Creates a joke* maybe he stole his dad's money.

Linda and Margaret: *burst into laughter*.

*School bell rings* Margaret: Guys it's break over, let's go and stop talking about that "Mr Know All guy".

Linda: Yes let's go before the demon in this tree possesses us.

All three hurriedly rushed to class.

Because of the incident I went home alone during closing. When I reached home my mom used her soft voice she normally produced out to sympathize someone."OH my son whatttttt happ pppenned? she said whiles stammering touching my face. I used abusive words on her because I knew she was the cause of everything. "Why would u send family matters to school". I said angrily to her. she was emotionally damaged. I went straight to my room without eating for the whole day. No sooner my dad came in with his noisy car that usually disturbs my peace. "That stupid inherited car' I said. The car was inherited from my grandfather so I will be next of kin to my dad but I didn't want that car. My mom reported the incident to my dad and he went to his room to take a wrinkled old wire which laid under his bed for years and I was whipped severely with that.

The day which everyone was expecting, 7th August, the day of my final exams brought a burden to me because I barely learnt anything new, but I pretended I knew everything. so I will throw my hands at anyone who calls me for an answer In the exams hall. I wrote the exams successfully, our results was out, I was full of confidence to check my results, when I went, i had grade 38. I came out with faded colours "WHAAATTTTT." I exclaimed with agony. How are my parents and friends going to see this, tears started rolling down my cheeks. My mom was really unsatisfied with my results. I had the school which I never wished to go, Infact I was being mocked at.

I pledged to my parents and beggged then that I will never but never ever show that attitude. I became the best student in my SHS. And I continued my education to California institute of technology to pursue Artificial intelligence."Dadzie, Dadzie, wake up it's time for school" my mom called. I woke up and noticed it was all a dream. I used the dream as a lesson into my life and changed forever.

THE END.
