Prefect day 2015

Today was prefect day! It’s the day when the teachers tell who are the prefects!

8.40 AM

I saw teacher Nik, taking a few badges out from a plastic bag. I was wondering ‘What type of badges are those?’ I looked at Tc. Nik, arranging the badges on the table. I looked at one of the badges. It had the word ‘Prefect’ on it. That moment, my heart skipped with joy. I whispered to my friend behind me which was Ameera, that those were the prefect badges. I could tell that she was also excited. Our ustaz which is, Ustaz Faiz, stood up and said “The teachers have chosen our school prefects. There will be ten of them.” After I heard that, I wanted to smile, I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry tears of joy! “First, the class monitors and the assistant class monitor.” Said Ustaz Faiz. I wasn’t really listening until he said, “class 4 Ithar.” I lend him my ears. “The class monitor is….. Afham.” I clapped. A few moments later, Ustaz Faiz said, “And the assistant class monitor is…… Ameera.” I clapped while saying “Good job buddy!”

8.50 AM

“Now, we go on to the prefects.” Said Ustaz Faiz. I was excited. My heart began to race. “We go to the boys first.” Said Ustaz Faiz, again. I listened carefully. Ustaz Faiz looked at the paper, and said “The first boy that I would like to call is…. Azim.” I clapped. Azim is ten years old and he’s in my class. (You can find his name in one of my other posts. Then, Ustaz Faiz said, “He is also the head prefects!” I was happy for Azim. So anyway as usual, I didn’t really listen after that. Until, Ustaz Faiz said, “Now, we go to the girls.” I looked at Ustaz Faiz while praying that I would be a prefect. “The first girl that I would like to call is…. Nuha.” Said Ustaz Faiz. ‘Ustaz Faiz said my name!!! I’m going be a prefect!!!’ I walked up in front with a wide smile on my face.

3.30 PM

It was English lesson but the class was over. The next lesson was Mandarin but the Mandarin teacher was ill. Our homeroom teacher, Tc. Atiqah said “Can I trust you guys to be quiet for one whole hour? If you guys can’t keep quiet for one whole hour, I’ll take action on the head prefect and assistant head prefect.” Then, I spoke up “Teacher but, none of us know who is the assistant head prefect.” Teacher Atiqah smiled down at me and said “You are Nuha.” Again, my name was said to be a prefect. But, just not an ordinary prefect. The assistant head prefect!! I smiled wide again. “Really teacher? Then, why doesn’t my badge have the name ‘assistant head prefect’?” I asked. She didn’t answer but just walked out the class. Still, I wasn’t satisfied because only the primary 4 knew the big news. But, I was happy to be…. A prefect!!!. And I hope that I'll be a prefect too next year. Aamin...
