LIFE OF AN ILLITERATE
EPISODE 2
*
As Christian walked to the Kiosk very early one morning, he got downcast seeing his mates walk to school in their stunning school uniform. He imagined himself in the same uniform bidding his aunty goodbye and running off to school. That was just a mere day dream anyway. A sad day dream.

Few years later, he turned 17. His sisters were already out of primary school and had proceeded into secondary school. Most of the time, he would lure them to teach him whatever they were thought in school any time they got back from boarding school. That had helped him improve a little since he was a fast learner but he wanted to learn more.
Most of the afternoons, he would stroll about their schools premises peeping up the fence into the school compound to see what exactly the students were doing. This was without the knowledge of his aunt. He knew how risky it was and knew he could get in trouble but that didn't bother him at all.

One day he did his usual admiring the pretty girls in their funny hairstyles when the security man had caught him Alas! His heart beat skipped a little and off he raced like a mad dog off the school premises toward the pedestrian lane.

As he went on running like a thief. He bumped into a female student who was walking to the same school with a group of her friends and fell all her books. Her white blouse got stains with mud from his hands. Coolval stories Her friends giggled teasing her and this got her furious.
"Hey! Can't you watch where you are running? How dare you fall my books down? Don't you know how embarrassing it is? Do you want my mates to see me like this? "
"Sorry... " he replied and turned to leave still watching out for the security man but she drew him back more furious.
"Sorry? What do you think you want to do anyway? You want me to pick up my books ba? Well impossible. You will have to pick it up yourself! "
"I say I am sorry" He told her getting irked at her behavior now.
"You say... you are sorry " she asked with surprise getting stunned at his mind blowing grammar.
"Yes. You not hear?! " he asked. She giggled with her friends.
"I now see what is wrong with you. You may go Mr Illiterate. I will pick up my books myself" she had let him know picking up her books before bursting into laughter. Christian could feel anger burning inside of him. Didn't they know he had two sisters attending their same school. "See the way this moron is looking at me o. Didn't you hear me? You can go! O. I forgot, you don't understand good English. What you understand is English that drives everyone nuts. Alright then, You may gone!" her friends held their bellies still laughing. Suddenly the school bell rang and they ran off into the school immediately.

Just shortly she arrived at the gate, she stared back at the illiterate waved him bye before running off. Christian cursed her under his breath realizing how proud students were. He mimic her voice and hissed before he trod off. No one knew English better than he did. He was taught by his sisters for crying out loud!
