"Okay, time for break. Get up and hand over your papers". Said our cla.s.s teacher after he heard the beep. Finally, it was break. I was really looking forward to eating my snacks because I was starving and even though I finished the exams earlier, I was still made to wait until it was break.
As took my snack to eat, I noticed one of the students were staring at me.
" What" I asked but she turned away. Feeling uncomfortable there, I took my snack with me and left the room
As I was walking out, I remembered that boy. It still baffled me on why he was here and I wanted to confront him. But I was hesitant. Talking to him will just make me get angry and it will turn into a fight. That's how our fights always were. The area in which we fought will end up destroyed.
I finally decided to confront him. Dropping my snack on the ground, forgetting my hunger, I went to the exam hall. He was there, idle, starring at the ceiling.
"Meet me. At the back of the school", I said to him.
" Why? "
"Just do so".
" O-k-y ".
After I delivered my message, I left, to wait at the back of the school for him. It didn't take that long for him to show up and say something.
" So..... What was it you wanted to tell me? "
"So you also broke the taboo too didn't you?"
" Wait, the h.e.l.l! What taboo! "
"Stop playing dumb!"
" hey look..... I don't get you maybe you have mistaken me for someone . Just cut it and admit fault
I was someone who never admitted fault and was proud. If I was told to do so, I burst out in anger. So I dashed towards him held his collar and pinned him to the wall, exclaiming,
"I'M NOT WRONG! I HAVE NEVER BEEN WRONG! YOU ARE LYING!"
" P-l-e-s-e, I beg you, I'm saying. I have no idea on what you are talking about. Please let me go! "
I started to doubt now whether it was actually the spirit of silence, because he would never say this. I looked away, left him and said sorry.
Just after that the beep started again, meaning it was time to go back to the hall.
I felt so stupid after that incident. And I felt bad.
Well maybe I was mistaken. After all the spirit of silence didn't break the taboo. And even if he did he did, he is not stupid to lose his memories.
After break, and entering the hall, the teacher stood in front of us and started calling names. After a few names my name was called and after my was the boy I a.s.sault
"So his name is selasi, huh?
" I 'll apologize to him later ".
