The Next day Mia's POV I got to school a little late today as me and my mom continued our discussion till 1 is in the night. When I got to class, the lesson had already started, My English teacher Miss Lucia was already in class, teaching. " Good Morning, Ma " I greeted her, and immediately my voice landed, Everyone in the class faced me, it was like I became a celebrity immediately, I felt a little uncomfortable with their stares. " Good Morning, Mia, Why are you In school at this hour?, This is so unlike you. " Miss Lucia Asked me in a displeased tone. " Am sorry, Ma... " " I guess, she Played Video games all night and Slept late. " Sasha Butted in. " Is that True, Mia? " Miss Lucia Asked me. " No, it's not... " I said in an attempt to defend myself. " It's not? , Are you going to Cover up with your usual, ' I was studying Phrase? ' or are you going to use something else this time? " Lara, Sasha's best friend replied Sarcastically. " What's your business, Sasha, Lara? , Is it because you guys Arrived in School earlier for the first time in your life that you guys are now reacting this way? , What's up with you guys? If you are Envious of her then say it to her face rather than accuse her of what she didn't do. " Clover Said In an Angry tone. " Were We talking about you? , Why don't you mind your business, Clover. " " What if I don't? , Will you beat me? " Clover Replied in a challenging tone. " Stop it, girls! , Have you forgotten that I am still in class? , This is your last warning! " She then turned to Me who was silently watching the scene play out. " Go to your Seat now, Don't let what happen today repeat itself. " She Warned. " Yes, Ma " I replied. As I walked towards my Seat Which I shared With Clover, I could still feel their stares on me. After Settling down. " Hey " I greeted Clover. " Hi. " She replied Coldly. " What's up with you? , What have I done this time? " I asked. " Done? You've done more than you are supposed to. " She replied. " I don't get you, Stop Speaking in Parables, Hit the nail on the head, Clover. " I urged. " Why didn't you Pick up my call, When I called you? " She asked, I was Surprised by her Question, When did she call? " Sorry to ask but When did you call me? " I asked Confused. " Really?, I called you at around 7:30 yesterday night. " She replied. " Oh! I was asleep then, Sorry. " I replied. " Whatever, By the Way, why were you late this morning? " She asked. "I... " " Mia, Clover, Get up This instant and get out of my class! " Miss Lucia Suddenly Announced, interrupting my conversation with Clover. " Ma, We ... " " Shut up! , I am so disappointed in you Mia, I didn't expect something like this from you, You of all people. " " What is our offense, Ma? " Clover, asked Boldly after We had stood up. " You still have the guts to ask, Clover? " " I need to Know what We did, Ma. " Clover insisted. " What were you and Mia Gossiping about when the class was still ongoing? " " We weren't gossiping, Ma, " I Said, in self-defense. " So?, Have you forgotten about the Class Rules? " " No ma. " We replied. " So why were you two Going against the rules? " " We are Sorry Ma. " " Sorry for Yourself. " " From today onwards till the End of this Week I don't want to see you in my class. " Miss Lucia declared. " What!!!, But what we did doesn't Warrant this. " Clover Argued. " Another Word from you Clover and Your Punishment will become double. " " But Ma... " " Let's just obey. " I Said Tugging at Clover's Skirt. We both Walked out of the Class With both our Heads down, I could Hear Mocking lauglaughterm Sasha and Her Gang. We Both Walked in Silence to the School library with our backpacks. As we were about to open the door, Clover Suddenly Stopped. " What's Wrong? " I asked her. " Well, I was thinking about what we are going to Say to our class teacher when she asks us about what happened today in class. " She replied, in a Sad Tone. " Oh! We'll just tell her the truth." I replied Shrugging. " What! Are you Crazy Mia?, Do you know what you are Saying? " " Yes I do, Why? " I inquired innocently. " Our Punishment will become double if we tell her the truth about what happened. " Clover Exclaimed. " I know and that's why we are going to tell her the whole truth. " I replied. " Have you gone nuts Mia?, Why would you suggest we tell our class teacher the whole truth when we are both aware of the kind of Person She is, We'll be disgraced, Mia! " " I know, but isn't it better to tell the truth than a lie? , No matter what we say or do, the fact that we'll be Punished For Breaking the class rules remains! " " You are Probably Right Mia, but... " " No buts, we were wrong so we deserve to be punished for our mistake. " I told her and she finally Nodded in understanding. As We were Conversing earlier on, I remembered the Bible verse which Says. ' For you know the truth and it shall set you Free. ' " Let's go in now Clover, it's High time We've started Studying. " I Said. " Okay. " She replied as we both opened the door to the library. After the Formalities Were done, We Picked our Seats and Started Studying. I Started Practicing How to draw and The Compulsory Diagrams in biology. Clover on the other hand Was Solving Past Questions on Organic Chemistry. The First Two periods which were allocated for the English language Was Spent in the School Library.
