We knew and expected this girl to perform well, but none of us expected her to attain a C+, the first ever C+ in the history of this school!” This brought the entire parade into a frenzy, with everyone cheering ad shouting: “C+! C+! C+! C+! C+!”
Soon the changed turned from “C+!C+!C+!” to “Kupita! Kupita! Kupita! Kupita!” I did not understand what they meant.
“Congratulations Xtash,” said the HM, trying to cool down the rest of the schools. He then invited her to speak. Shouts of “Kupita! Kupita! Kupita! Kupita!” rent the air as she proceeded to talks. It was then that Sucrose calmed down everyone.
Let’s keep quiet and allow Xtash, our Lupita, to speak,” he said. “To welcome her, let’s all say “Lupita! Lupita Lupita!” We all joined in shouting “Lupita” five time to welcome Xtash. I didn’t know what Lupita was and I asked madam Ruth what the name meant.
“Lupita is a Kenya actress who won the beautiful competitions in London,” she said.
I can’t remember what Xtash said but I remember her thanking all the teachers, her parents and particularity me for for advising her to repeat.
This did not go down well with Fiolina and Bensouda, who had joined us. She then finished by saying: “
No matter how many times you repeat, you can still go to university.”
