COUPLES' LIST

"Boom"

thunder clouds rumbling whereas the sun was wrestling its way out of the horizon.

A scene so beautiful that it would fascinate even an imbesole yet in a certain room, there was no one in the mode to admire such a scenary even though ninetyfour students plus a couple of angry teachers where present.

Someone may wonder why the gloomy atmosphere since it was quite normal for candidates to have such meetings more so towards the final exams right? 

Alas, this was an abrupt gathering which brought with it the toughest cornerstones in the teachers office, this gathering left even the most gluttonous of the Sekiranda,Zikusooka, Martha,Faith,Lubega Mark and there leader, the leader of the Double Dealers League of Nations (DDLON) Kalyango abdulrahman hungry but in fear for none of them had the guts to go for breakfast under such a platoon of teachers.

The oppression was so intense that even the likes of Kilyowa Abel,Semakula Jonathan,Sekito and Ariho Mathias who thought of themselves being unruly were so docile like house cats.

" tap tap tap"

sounds of high heels knocking the floor could be heard from the entrance of the room worn by an elegant lady that seemed to be in the late thirtys or early fortys. 

Her name is Madam Rachel, the headmistress of St. Henry's Primary School (SHEPS).

She walked in unhurriedly and took the seat of honor and besides her were other staff members like Mr. Lutaaya Maurice the homeroom teacher of class seven clever, 

(clever and wisdom are the divisions of the individual classes =streams) who teaches mathematics, a man who isn't easy to please at all,

Mr. Gordon co- teacher of English, Mr. Mawe Ian Trevor homeroom teacher of class seven wisdom teacher of Integrated Science,

Mr. Obura who teaches Social studies and Religious Education and Mr. Kajjubi Robert the Director of studies SHEPS, teaches Integrated Science who is very deligent on punishment to the extent that students developed a saying that

[If you survive primary school without being flogged by Mr. Kajjubi, better slaughter your roster to renew your luck value] because surviving him meant that you had used up your lifetime worth of luck.

Murmurs could be heard as students were whispering to each other wanting to know what had led to such a parade of fierce tutors without notice.

" Silence " 

A man with a dark skin with an annoyed expression on the face roared as he stood up with a cane in hand and walked to the podium. This man was non other than Mr. L. Maurice.

" You've really got guts making noise with all the trouble your into "

he said menacingly

" When I mention your name come in front" he said " Kalyango, Semakula, Zikusoka, Enoch, Lubega Mark, Sekiranda, Odoi,....." he called out loud up to twenty names flooding the stage with students.

" These fellows here are some of trouble makers we have here" he said as he roared again to the students on the stage 

" Don't you know your purpose of coming to school? Did you come to eat and shout around? Or did you come to look for wives and husbands? "

he said while taking out a folded white paper from his frontal shirt pocket putting it on the table in front of him

" Coupling is not allowed in this school " he said with an emphasing tone while he started unfolding the paper on the table

" Yesterday someone came and reported about some students of class seven coupling " he said looking at the paper in front of him with a dark expression 

This was the content of the paper
