”Do you know why you’re in this office, Miss Smith?”
Susie Smith shrugged, not bothering to hide an unrepentant grin. “Was it egging the Principal’s car, or TPing the classroom?”
Her partner in crime -the one who got caught, anyway - sniggered. The advisor scowled, “In the year 2020, toilet paper is a valuable commodity! This is no laughing matter, Miss Pym.”
Susie scoffed. “What are you gonna do? HSCs are over; we don’t have classes to attend, so suspend away.
Their advisor smirked cruelly. “Incorrect. Suspension means punishment assignments to complete before graduating. Say goodbye to your leisure time.”

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.

The Love I Share with Julite.
Seated in the old wooden pews of the local church, Fabrice found himself in the middle of a quiet little town called Bamenda, surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills. Sunlight poured through stained glass windows on a Sunday morning, creating vibrant patterns on the stone floor. Fabrice's gaze drifted across the praise-singing choir and he noticed Julite standing across the aisle.

They should have been assigned the rerolling of all the tp. It could have funded teachers' salaries for a year!
Interesting
That's harsh.
This was so funny about the toilet tissue 2020. I wonder if they will comply to the punishment?
