” Hmmm, why could he be calling me? I mulled skeptically and quickly got up, told Philip I’ll be back, and hurried to the library.
*
“You Liar” he yelled in fury,
I was shaking inside of me when he said that, how did he manage to find out? Who could have updated him with such info
Or maybe he could just be guessing, I encouraged myself and summoned the courage to speak,
Of course, I needed to speak at least to kill time and know if Heavenly father would save me.
“I’m sorry, but I’m yet to know what you’re talking about., I confessed innocently hoping he bought my pretense and calms down but he fiercely stood up and clenched his fists in annoyance.
He vehemently advanced toward me and I could see the rage in his eyes.
“You low life, you think I’m a fool right.” He gripped my throat and pinned me to the wall.
I was finding it so difficult to breathe as he tightened his grip more on my neck.
Is like you haven’t googled this name strika before, cuz if you have, you would know the category of person you’re dealing with,
You have the temerity to tell me she’s your sister when she’s nowhere related to you.
I! strika the sharp two edges sword of the red ax.
You b*stard, you made me look like a fool,
He continued yelling and tightening his grip more and more on me.
I felt life slowly oozing out of me.
Wait, is this how I’m really going to d!e ?
I questioned myself in fear, no this can’t be happening to me, but what do I do?
Nothing, because already, I was weakened and my throat was gripped so tight that I couldn’t breathe to mention scream.
“Oh my goodness, what are we turning into in this present world.” A Voice sounded surprised.
strika immediately loosened his grip on my throat and I coughed numerously,
“Seize him.” The voice sounded again and that was when I slowly looked up and beheld the principal with Lucy and security operatives.
“You weren’t chosen as the head boy to be maltreating and persecuting your fellow students, you were chosen to coach and guide them on the right part to follow”the principal yelled as the security operatives seized strika and clamped his wrist with handcuffs.
“Are you ok?” Lucy hurried toward me and checked me out,
The incident left me in very high tension that I couldn’t even speak.
So I nodded for her to see I was ok.
“Prosper.” I’m very sorry for this kind of ill-treatment you received, but I assure you that I’m going to make sure he’s wholesomely prosecuted for it.” the principal affirmed.
“Thank you, sir.” I recited.
“Just direct your appreciation to Lucy, she’s the one that reported that you were in trouble.” The principal uttered as he walked out leaving me and Lucy
alone in the library.
“Thanks” I muttered coldly,
“You see what I always tell you?”
Lucy blamed in a low tone when the principal left.
“I’m sorry.” I pleaded as she faced me with the back and wrapped her arms together.
“If you’re really sorry, then you should know what to do to appeal to my spirit. “She muttered with her back still facing me.
All I could see was the lively upside-down heart b*tt that looked so attractive,
mere looking at it could make one go crazy.
“Please, I really don’t know what to do to make it up,” I confessed and the next I saw was Lucy staring into my eyes with her arms wrapped across my neck.
“All I want in Return is your heart.”
her voice sent a signal to my innermost part and I wondered if I heard her clearly.
“How do you mean?” I asked in confusion.
“prosper, stop pretending as if you don’t know what I’m talking about,
I liked you the very first day I set my eyes on you.
I just don’t know why but I feel unaccomplished without you.
I wanted to tell you this the other day at the school garden but was distracted by that so-called strika.
I know It’s abnormal for females to confess their feelings to male but I just couldn’t help but just decided to do it because I discovered that the more I tries to kill the feeling, the stronger and more lively it waxes,
I have tried my best for you to view me in the same perspective I do but you don’t even try, always spending most of your time with that evil girl.
Prosper, please don’t say no to me or I will go straight to river Naija. “Her face was moody and I could see tears forming in her eyes.
I didn’t know how to feel after that long sermon of Love.
whether to feel confused or ashamed.
“Hmmm, I heaved a sigh of worry and then decided to reply cuz standing there without uttering a word would only give me a name that won’t be appealing to the ear.
“I will think about it,” I said coldly.

The bell was rung for the end of
Break period and all the students trooped into their relative classes.
We had a couple of lectures before the bell rang for the closing period and students happily scurried to the assembly ground as usual.
The principal was present on the assembly ground that day, I was very confused about how he managed to show up cuz he’d not been seen in afternoon assembly, not after that day.
I later discovered that he just came to remind us that the following Friday was the day for the debate between our school and future kids academy.
The assembly was concluded and everyone headed out through the school gate.
****
The following day, being Friday was the long-awaited day,
I nearly concluded that I wasn’t really in our school when I reached
Cuz Everywhere was perfectly decorated and beautified with balloons of varied colors.
There were lots of guests present in our school that day.
There were up to 5 stands of one temporary shelter popularly known as a canopy on the football field where the event was carried out.
Each canopy had a table at the front where the most valued guests were accommodated.
The event commenced with an opening speech by our principal followed by songs by a boy & a girl from the bright future academy and a boy & a girl from the future kids’ academy.
Everything kept rolling smoothly till the final and main aim for the event.
I and Belinda were called out followed by two other students from future kids academy.
The moderator analyzed how it was going to be and handed it over to us.
The first speaker was from the future kid’s academy.
“Good day parents, teachers, the principal, and my fellow students.
My name is gift Sunday from ss1 class.
I am standing here to propose the motion which says that
W
Firstly, I’d like to say:
It’s more comfortable & more reliable.
When a lady is putting on trousers, she would have the power and ability to freely express herself.
In the sense that she doesn’t have to be cautious about getting her private organs exposed.
Secondly
*It gives them emotional and psychological comfort.
What do we mean by emotional and psychological comfort?
It’s very simple to explain, let’s take, for instance, two girls that went to a seminar and one is wearing trousers while the other is wearing a skirt.
When closely observed, one would discover that the one wearing trousers would be more attentive and heeded to what the host said but the other one with a skirt would be busy checking out and adjusting her skirt from time to time, closing her legs and looking here and there to see if someone is watching.
At this point, she would only be bodily present but absence minded to whatever the Host says.
Thirdly,
To be on the safer side, most skirt wearers always cross their legs while sitting in public places not knowing that they’re just indirectly putting their health in danger.
Research has shown that regular crossing of legs is not good for human health, crossing of legs makes it difficult for blood to circulate to different areas of the body, causing vein inflammation and potentially putting someone at greater risk for a blood clot.
I believe that with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince and not confuse you that it’s good for females to be wearing trousers in society.
Thanks.
There were loud uproaring of shouts and acclamations from the crowd when the girl was done speaking.
“That was a very good one from the first proposer.
Let’s hear from the opposing side, “the moderator said and stretched out the microphone to me.
Good day parents, the principal, teachers, and my fellow students.
My name is Prosper Maxwell from js3 class.
I’m here to oppose the motion which says that;
IT’S RIGHT FOR LADIES TO WEAR TROUSERS.
My first point is that ladies wearing trousers are not giving God glory.
Please pardon me to use the scripture.
In the book of Deuteronomy chapter 22 verse 5 (KJV)
It says:
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Yes, as we have seen above, women should not wear anything that belongs to men and likewise men.
And it is widely known that trousers are uniquely fashioned for males and not for females.
So this implies that any lady that wears trousers is therefore disobeying the commandment of God and whoever does that is a Sinner.
Also in the book of 1 Timothy chapter 2 verse 9 (KJV);
It says:
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
The above scripture points out that there’s a great need for women to dress modestly, we all know that wearing trousers is totally out of modesty for females.
The Christian religion is not the only religion that speaks against females wearing trousers,
Even the Islamic religion pointed out that any dressing that exposes the body shape of a lady is simply unacceptable for female worshippers and therefore seen as a sin.
(Tefsir Ibn-i Kesir for ayet 31)
And we all know that trouser does expose female body shapes.
Another area I would like to talk about is the health aspects.
Most of the trousers that females put on are very tight because they believe that appearing sexy is the order of the day.
However, research has shown that this practice has very terrible negative impacts on the health of observers.
The first health issue that comes as a result of tight clothing is:
SKIN IRRITATION
Clothing that is too tight can bring problems with skin irritation, especially in areas where the skin is more sensitive
The second one is:
CIRCULATORY INTERRUPTION
If your clothing is too tight in some areas, it can subside blood flow to other areas of your body. For instance, if you put on jeans that are way too snug around the waist, it can reduce blood flow to your lower extremities.
In conclusion, I’m firmly saying that wearing trousers by females is not only out of modesty but also a sin to God and also has some negative effects on the body.
I hope that with these few points of mine; I have been able to convince and not confuse you that wearing trousers by females is a practice that needs to be discontinued in society.
Thanks.
To be continued.
Is it right for females to wear trousers?
Between bright future and future kids, who do you think, would win this debate?
