Prologue

A A R I N ' S P O V

"Does anyone know how what the law of diminishing returns states?." Our economics teacher,Mrs Helena demanded

Cue the painful and awkward silence.

"No one?." The woman sighed, shaking her head dissappointedly at us. I mean,I would raise my hand to answer but I wasn't quite sure my class mates would like that. They'd always turn and glare at me and call me an i-too-know everytime I did.And by they I meant Monalisa,the ice witch herself.

"Lisa,would you please state the law of diminishing returns for us?."

"No." Came her instant and need I say, daring response. Literally the whole class turned to stare at her with wide eyes and hung low mouths.

Typical.

She was always finding more and more ways to suprise us,honestly.

"Answer the question Monalisa." The woman must've already been used to her gloomy-ness to be this calm about it.I mean if it was someone like Mr Gori,it would've been a different story.A lot of hurtful,colourful words would be exchanged.

But it wasn't like the man would be able to do anything to her anyways.

No one could.

God forbid the precious princess of DLC would get harmed.The perpetrator would never hear the end of it...from of course her stinky rich father Ephraim Ezeigbo. The man was another case entirely. A walking example of pride and avarice. A very very solipsistic man indeed.

Everyone feared him.

I mean,you'd be completely mad not to.

No one wants an early grave.

"Ask someone else.I'm good." Lisa had a bored look on her face,but her dark eyes shone with mischief.

well then...

"I said answer the question,Lisa."

The sound of a hand hitting the desk hard startled me,and I was pretty sure it startled everyone else too cos something about the atmosphere screamed 'heavy tension'.

"And.I.said.I'm.good." Lisa looked like a literal mami-water right now.The way her dark eyes narrowed slits at Mrs Helena's direction,and the amount of anger it held.My heart was thrashing violently in between my ribcage and my knees, shaking under the table.I clenched and unclenched my fists to stop myself from squirming in my seat,and shut my eyes to block me from the intensity of her gaze that travelled throughout the room.

Mrs Helena sighed.

She actually sighed.Like she just sighed and did nothing or said nothing to her afterwards. She just asked somebody else instead.

"Jessy." The melanin girl slugglishly got up from her seat to answer .

It took her about a minute or two to do so.

"The law of diminishing returns states that as more and more umm...as more and more units of a fixed factor of production is added unto a variable factor,production will errr...production will increase up to a certain point where... decrease in total output wil set in as a result of continuous addition of the variable factor...while the fixed factor remains constant. " She dragged.

"Very Good.Thank you Jessy. " The girl only sent her a tight lipped smile ,then lazily sat back down on her chair,spreading her legs beneath her desk.

...well then.
