Claire a four eyed girl with long black hair, a thin body structure and a small mouth just sat in their verandah staring at the moon cast it's light rays on the trees and made shadows .
How amazing it would be to fly to the moon someday she thought but it was just impossible , she had just completed a scholarship exam in RUTHERFORD HIGH SCHOOL to complete her secondary education .
Rutherford high school was a very popular high school in the area but with little population as it was meant for only extremely rich people the poor ones who managed to get in was either by scholarship or they had sponsors.
Aside the school fees and the school requirements getting the documents to at least sit for the school scholarship exam was a really a though thing as it costs much so failing wasn't an option on Claire mind.
I just hope I pass the exam so I'd relieve my brother brother of this stress she said and heaved a sigh of relief .
Claire's brother Kenneth was a graduate of pharmacy but due to circumstances of their parents death and no one to them out he had to venture into the closest means of getting money in other to cater for himself and his sister. He worked as a sales boy in a restaurant
Severally he would be given food to eat but instead he kept it for his sister starving
himself , sometime three days or so and each time this happened Claire would cry and pray that things would get better with them one day.
Finally the results were out and only like about fifty students out of two hundred students who set for scholarship exam passed
When Kenneth told Claire about this her heart skipped a beat.
Oh my God I just hope I passed she said inwardly as Kenneth scrolled through the listing his phone searching for her name .
Yes! Yes! You did it Kenneth shouted as he found her name on the list boldly written "WILLIAMS CLAIRE"
Well that's hat wasn't the problem as passing and getting the school requirements were two different things .
Lucky enough they were able to raise enough money to afford it and in one week time Claire was in school.
