The semester ended I had 5A's and 2B's , I was very happy, my holiday will be awesome, I heard Kenny the most handsome guy in the class ,had 7A's, I promised myself to mingle with him the next semester, I want to be the best.     My friends also had a good result their only C was biochemistry. 

The holidays was 3 weeks, so I travelled almost immediately, I knew second semester was too short to resume late, with lots of secular and church activities waiting for students, especially handing over, I was anxious to know who the next president was and I also hope I will be an exco and I was ready to do anything to get it.

The holidays was so fast, school resumed, most students had not resume, some because of money, food stuffs and some had not spent enough time with their families.

After 2weeks of resumption fellowship resumed , as at then almost all the students has resumed we had workers meeting that morning, list of activities for the church planned for the semester was announced, retreat was also announced, there was a fight in church that day MD Mike reported Lita to the president he said.

Sir, she has been very rude to me, she doesn't listen to anyone, she misses rehearsals , whenever she came  she is always late, and will always complain when assigned to duty.

Pastor King questioned her, ma'am ur reasons, Lita smiled she turned to Mike , tatafo (amebo) mind your business, I can come to rehearsal at any time I want, you might be the MD but am still your senior colleague, she said angrily.

Everyone started murmuring, Kelvin laughed so loud that PST Grace told him to stand up, MD Mike was boiling , if not because it's church will you be able to talk to me, he said

PST Kingsley told them to keep quiet, he gave Sharon two week suspension and place to clear at the church Secretariat. And told her to return to the unit with apology letter to the MD. 

I really felt for the MD, the other two AMD's pratically left all the duty for him.

The welfare HOD Mama Grace also had some complain about funds, the meeting was very long it lasted for an hour.

The next week Sharon was not in church, she sent a letter to Pastor Kingsley telling him  I am no longer interested in being a worker since I was humiliated in front of all workers, he told some members to visit her , I kept wondering must she be begged.

I noticed Jane and Chioma's  closeness to Pastor Grace and Pastor Kingsley, and always going to church Secretariat every Sunday after service to work, you wonder how I knew.

I heard the assistant sisters coordinator appreciating her and collecting a bag from her saying thanks for your selfless sacrifice to the church, and the Secretariat family, and thank you for this food stuffs. 

I told Kelvin, he said it because of handing over, Jasmine stopped playing with us in church  after a while, he was always talking to the brothers coordinator

. I bought gifts from my money to the Secretariat also and went to clear grass, I can't be left out, Kelvin was not in for that, I can't displease myself to please others he warned me, I eventually stopped after I went broke.

Classes was very stressful with lecturers rushing their work, we where returning from night class one day when we saw Pauline and her friends, she was different this time, she greeted us, I tried asking her why she left the fellowship she said is a story for another day . I told her about Happy's death she wasn't hay but she said she knows what killed her.

I asked she refused to tell me, I begged for her number, she gave me on a condition that I should not give it to any member of the church.

 

I got home , I met Jane fighting with Osas over her slippers, I knew those girls where deliberately getting on her nerves Because they knew she had temperament issues, I walked pass them with Kelvin and locked my door, before I knew it I heard people shouting very loud I came out and met Jane bleeding, Osas hit her with a stick having nail on are arm, I and some other people rushed her to the clinic, she told us not to tell them what happened, she told them she hits her hand so hard on a spoilt door in the hostel, Kelvin  chuckled.

We went home after the wound was dressed and they told her to stay till the next day,  I told Kelvin I wonder why she lied probably she is ashamed of her deeds. she has a feeling that the church might visit her and ask what happened to her, Kelvin said laughing.

I  laughed also , pretenders everywhere are we serving God or man? I asked.

Everyone is trying to please the church excod not Good ,some. Excos are pleasing the members not God.

Who are you pleasing?, I asked
