The science students… Tomisin came first, Temitope came second and a guy from KCI, came third. Tomisin and Tope were very happy, attaining the positions they had. They returned to school with joy and happiness. The second round was now on point, they were still afraid and both came together to read, the school powered a stand-by generator which, they’ve been in the library reading. They were provided with food and all needed materials. The principal had been expecting this kind of competition again because the first time they did that kind of competition, the school loosed, he then promised to do anything he can to make sure ACI win the next one.
A week later….
They were neat and dressed in a well ironed uniform, new socks and provided with all the needed materials. They walked into the school bus, and brought out books to continue reading.
READING NEVER ENDS…..
They got there and was so early. They’ve always kept to time in ACI, they were refreshed before the second competition started. It was a tough war between them all. At the end let your name be praised, Tomisin said and was on right track.
Adesina College, Ibadan, Tomisin came first again, Temitope was the second and the KCI guy third again, the two commercial students made it to the first and second positions also, they were all happy and returned to school, the third and last of the competition was the greatest challenge ever, the principal adressed and told them that it pays to loose from the first round & second than this, so more effort is needed.
They read like a person that will never read again.
Tonia was also leading in Ghana, imagine the intelligence and honour ahter the competition, Tope thought always. Tonia was also serious and her best friend Anita, both had been leading other schools in Ghana. Their school, Prime International College, was noted for deligence and hardwork, the school was one of the greatest in Ghana & Tonia was proud of it. The college is so big that there are main roads there and junctions. It has a main entrance where a ticket will be collected before entering. It had different piches, football, base ball, basket ball, badminton, volley ball, shot put and the likes.
They were dressed in mufty to the airport and were carried by the school bus. Tomisin’s father had already prayed for her very much before she left, and same Tope.
They entered into the plane, that was the first time of Tomisin ever stepping into the plane, she was happy but never showed it. They went on, others were reading while Tope and Tomisin, sitting close to each other slept off.
They were tired.
‘Are these people who want to make a good position?’ Anjola, the guy from KCI thought in him and continued reading. They finally got there and were logged in a special hotel, all the participants were in that hotel. The plane from Ghana and that of Nigeria almost landed at the same time, there Temitope saw Tonia and both looked at themselves closely, they greeted and parted.
The boys has their rooms while the girls in seperate rooms also, Tope and Tomisin slept and relax instead of reading, although were afraid but couldn’t read as planned by them.
Early the next day, the minister of education came to address them all. He admonished them to love one another even after the competition, hatred is not needed in the society. After the speech they were given an hour to revise then Tope and Tomisin read together with the two girls from commercial department.
WHO Z GONNA WIN?????
They got into the hall and the competition started. They did it in such a way that schools in Nigeria and other states were viewing them through the television. Eventually, Tonia and Tomisin came first, Temitope and a guy from Botswana came second, Anjola and Tonia’s friend came third – from science class. From commercial class, Folashade came third overall while some two guys from Botswana came first and second.
This can’t be true, another examination was set for them to be able to get the final winner,
Who wins???
