ALAS, I MISSED MY CLASS! (1)

By -
The cause of had I known is a result of a missed class! The tears of so many mistakes resulted from a missed class! I could remember those days in school when some Slay Queens would be busy slaying on parties and weekend trips to God knows where. you don't see them in classes except during exams. And in examination hall you see their scripts empty while they are busy looking side by side and stretching their necks like Giraffe trying to peep from their neighbours. What I ask myself those days is, do they even understand what they are copying? fine. Say they understand.  How sure are they that what they are copying is the correct answer to the particular questions asked? Seriously the thing baffles me. There is this particular girl I couldn't but take notice of. I had to call one of my class mates aside to ask her if the girl in question is our departmental girl not to talk of our level mate. This particular girl, you will never see her in class until the day of examination.
