UN VANDALISED

As he was still reminiscing about the freaky weekend he had had, Adson carrying the cake from the jubilation of yesterday ready to share with his friends was not prepared for what awaited him at the Greenville green grounds. Someone or some people had vandalised the school grounds, the ground was covered in all kinds of litter the walls sprayed with as much leachate as they could find and every tree hanging in poly ethene. It was a stinky mess and thank goodness parents did not park near the main gate as they would have immediately taken away their children in fear of contracting Cholera and dysentery at worst. As he got to the main entrance, Elvin his best friend came to him and told him that the backyard even looks worse and as the school head prefect, they expected him to do something about this mess and as fast as possible.

His friend suggested he calls on the janitors and they get to work as fast as before the school headmaster got here but Adson rejected the proposal and assured his best friend that he would find whoever did this and he was going to make him wish he had not done this and besides, the headmaster was already around so he went to him to give him a proposal.

“Are you nuts at the moment bro?” his brother spoke first in anger when Adson came to primary five purple to announce that literacy two will be substituted with literacy one at the moment and the topic would be sanitation. Mr James the literacy one smiled as he looked at the puzzled Literacy two madam who was already 10 minutes into her lesson.

“What could have brought the sudden change Mr James?” Miss Anatalie inquired. Adson moved closer and explained to Miss Anatalie and when he was done, she smiled to her class and asked them to enjoy the lesson. Johnson Blake started cursing and hitting the table in protest as Adson and left with Miss Anatalie. “Whoever does not wish to attend this class can leave and never return. We have always switched classes so do you have a problem with me being here Mr Blake? ” The teacher inquired and Blake looked down and said nothing till he heard that the topic was sanitation, sub topic the 3Rs and that it would be group and the project area would be the compound. “What is this nonsense Blake, you said we did not have to clean up this mess and there was no way we would get caught!” Cole one of Blake’s friends rattled out selling them out. Mr James simply smiled to this confession and the whole class turned to Blake in anger. How could they be stupid enough to vandalise the school. The class had no choice but to each pick a group and a pair of gloves.

Aiden at the end of the cleaning asked why it wasn’t only Blake’s squad that was punished and he replied that it was his brother’s suggestion that the incident be made both a learning experience and a way to prove to the school that he can reason out any situation so that upper primary ought not to take him for granted.

Adson majorly suspected that it had to be one of his previous rivals in the contest that could have plotted the vandalism or somehow sponsored it .His investigation around the school following his sharp instincts kicked in and not before long, he found what he was looking for. The green and pink customised Mentos papers. These were the same candy that Blake had used to sweeten his campaigns and it made from one of their factories. He could not comfrot Blake face to face so he went to primary four red and told where her sister Ariel studied from and informed them that they would be cleaning up the mess. Ariel immediately slammed her red makeup kit that she was focused on and shouted that “There is no way am cleaning up my brother’s mess. I totally had nothing to do with it”. Adson smiled at her and informed them that indeed it was a misunderstanding and thanked Ariel for her cooporation. With that he went back to the headmaster and requested for the lesson switch in primary five purple and that if this bother’s Johnson Blake then that will be the easiest way to know that he was the mastermind to this vandalism. Fairest enough, Cole added jam to the bread and easily sold them away way too easily and later the Blake squad was to stand in the assembly grounds hands raised to the heavens seeking for forgiveness from the Almighty.

Contend with his win, Adson returned to his class to catch up with his class. On opening his backpack to retrieve his English class book, he noticed that his cake container no longer had cake but a note saying “too delicious to resist, crush”. Adson was so furious, he crumped the paper and looked around for who could have messed with him and eaten his cake, everyone was busy focused on the conjunctions on the board. He too decided it was best if focused on using while and when and deal with his cake loss later.
