Boarding school at night was another world. By 9pm, the prep hall was full some students reading seriously, some pretending, and others fighting sleep like warriors.
I sat with my book open, but my eyes grew heavy. Just as my head started nodding, the senior on duty shouted, “If you sleep, you sweep the whole hall!” Everybody laughed, and I quickly rubbed my eyes.
Minutes later, one boy actually dozed off, drooling on his notebook. The senior crept up, hit the desk, and the boy jumped up shouting, “Yes ma!” even though it was a male senior. The entire hall exploded with laughter.
That night, nobody forgot the lesson prep hall is not for the weak. 😂
