Moses was one of the most brilliant students in his school. He had a group of seven friends, they were the brightest in the school. Moses, Precious, Mohammed, Adams, Femi, Emmanuel, Samson, and Prince. They were like brothers, and we're in their final year in high school. They were all perfects . In fact Moses was the Assistant Head boy, while Samson was the Head boy. Moses was loved by almost everyone, they would say he was the only different person among the brilliant students. Moses was respectful, social, brave, and always acted like a mouthpiece for the struggling students. So they loved him. There was a lady in his class called Righteousness. Moses has had a crush on her for a very long time now.
Righteousness was an easy going lady, she has a soft, tiny and unique tone which makes her noticeable whenever she speaks. Her tone, whenever Moses hears it, sends him into the wilderness. She and Moses were friends but not so close. They studied together with his seven famous friends, Righteousness was friend with Precious and Femi. Moses admires her a lot but he never told her how he felt. Moses friends had their crushes too which they do talk about whenever the guys were alone. Luckily for Moses, none of his friends had a crush on his girl at least for the time being.
Their final exam wad fast approaching, Moses and his friends prepared very hard, their teachers had high hopes on them. Perhaps one or all of them would ace all their papers. Moses and his friends became tutors to other students, they would organize classes before assembly, during lunch and after school hours. There was no loose-guarding , so none of them thought much about their crushes. A week to the final examination, Moses had become closer to Righteousness by teaching her he had found out few things about her, mostly her hobbies and her view on various topics including love. Moses felt this was is time to tell her how he felt but he was just so naive and he couldn't do it.
Their final examination came, the West African Senior School Certificate Examination WASSCE, and everyone gave it their best at most. They began awaiting their results as the school planned their graduation ceremony. On the day of the graduation, Moses, his seven friends, and other graduating students were present at the hall. The boys were allowed to pick their partner on their way into the hall. Moses looked round but couldn't find Righteousness, so he waited. At last! She showed up, late. It was unlike her to come late to an event. Moses politely requested that she be his partner in the hall, and she nodded. The ceremony didn't last long but Moses found time to ask Righteousness about things pertaining to relationship, and she replied in the most reasonable and courteous way. They took pictures alone, and together with his seven friends; Femi, Mohammed, Samson, Adams, Emmanuel, Precious and Prince. Later that day, Moses shoot his shot. He told Righteousness how he felt about her, and asked her to be his girlfriend. She replied surprised, and didn't give Moses a reply. She requested for some time to think about it.
Days passed and Moses kept checking his phone for her message but nothing came in until later. She sent a text saying she has agreed on trial. They started dating. They bonded rapidly and were always communicating. Months later their results came out,, Moses made his papers, some distinctions and painfully his girlfriend Righteousness failed one of her core papers Mathematics.
