The next day, I woke up and did my normal routine and went to take Ruth to school. By seven o'clock we were in class and Mrs May was already in. We started our class by being arranged according to the marks we got the previous day.

I was put on group one. We were six on the group, Ben, Brian, Aaron, Ephraim, ¹Paidamoyo and me. We greeted each other and we started learning. We didn't get breaks or lunches like other classes, our break and lunch combined were thirty minutes. We finished all our subjects and self study started.

We had two hours of self study and by three o'clock we would be going home but our teacher didn't let us. When everyone was going home by three, Mrs May took out a novel and had us read one chapter per person and write an essay about what you learnt and understood from the novel mind you literature is a high school subject.

Mrs May is a good teacher tho, because she knew that she would let us leave late she had prepared snacks for us to nibble on while we were in class.

By the end of class, I was already acquainted with my desk mates.

Paidamoyo, " so what time are you coming tomorrow so I can wait for you at the gate".

Me, " by seven I will be at the front gate", I said while smiling, happy because I made a new friend.

Ben, " hey Sarah you should be a little bit earlier so we can help each other with the morning work before the teacher gets to class. We will all wait for you at six-thirty OK".

Me, "OK sounds cool. See you guys tomorrow".

I told Ruth that we should go. We got in the taxi and because of the tiredness of learning a lot of things I slept and was woken by Ruth when we got to our bustop and we said goodbyes.

I was a distance away when I remembered that I had to go early to school so I went back running to Ruth.

" Ruth!! Ruth wait I have something to tell you!!", I shouted while running to her.

" What is it now Sarah, I'm hungry and tired", she said.

" So tomorrow I have to be at school by six-thirty, do you think you can be fast tomorrow or should I go and see you later at school", I nervously told her.

" Who told you to go so early to school, we always go by six-thirty and be at school by seven. What changed", she said.

" I made plans with the rest of my desk mates, sorry girlfriend. I will call to wake you up by five o'clock".

" Whatever rocks your boat. I'm going". She marched forward and I knew she was angry at me.
