Chapter Seven

 

I became an Acho of the class!

 

"Friends, be prudent with your tongue. Otherwise, I will cut it into pieces if you do not want to keep within the palace of your mouth," I warned sharply as soon as my teacher left the classroom.

 

"Brother, we need not advertise your hidden agendas to the world; the truth will unfold naturally," responded Kaka, one of the backbenchers, with seriousness.
