One month later was the first semester exams but things were not going well for him as most of the subjects were too hard for him.
English was his favourite subject so that was not hard for him as he will pass even if does not study English in his three years of Senior high school
Science,social studies and biology were okay as he always passed even if he did not study but you see the rest of the subjects like Core maths,elective maths,physics and chemistry eeh that one is by luck and prayers.
Why were they too hard for him?He did not learn.
In fact since he started reading novels,he could not concentrate on studying again.
The longest he had spent on studying was around thirty minutes and the shortest was when he picked the book to study but did not open the book because he was lazy.
He was not always like this.
In fact every person in the family was like they were born to be first in school.
He remember his parents telling him he was the best in terms of studying in their whole family which was not true because there was his Grandfather who's lowest mark in school was 88% ant that was in his university days and even then he cried the whole day.
Kwabena used to get first with scores between 80 and 100 so why did he became like this?
Even Kwabena himself does not know.
He could not do without novels.
He read it daily and sometimes even forgot his daily roles and needs.
Well after months the results came.
There was no ranking but their papers were given to them.
He got 70% in English,60% in Science,65% in core maths,15% in elective maths and 10% in physics the others he do not remember but the rest was not over 50%.
He remeber when he was so ashamed of himself when the physics teacher read out their results loudly in front of the whole class.
He best friend, Francis was no better as he got 18%in physics.
That day he showed his papers to his parents and bragged to his three sisters and one brother name Felicia,Grace,Hannah and Daniel respectively as he knew that they knew that his results were falling and for good reasons he excluded physics and elective mathematics results.
His father Noah praised him with 20 Ghana cedis which received gladly with two hands.
But happiness did not last long as C.Ronaldo was being benched by Eric Ten Hag because he skipped training as his unborn child was dead and when he was brought on in one or two games he could not deliver.
He had the belief that Ronaldo will bounce back and silence that yeye Coach but he did not know that these little quarrels between Ronaldo and the coach will lead to one of the greatest shocks in football history.
Kwabena did not open Facebook for weeks as he could not bear to watch the critism,banter and memes Messi fans and Ronaldo haters will make against Ronaldo.
He dreams about Ronaldo bouncing back, leading Manchester united to win the EPL and winning his sixth balon d'or closing the gap between him and Messi but that dream never came to past as Ronaldo was like a different player altogether after the death of his unborn child.
He was not running like headless chicken anymore.
He did not attempt long range shots anymore.
He was missing too many chances and even penalties.
He just stayed into the box most of the time.
Those days were the most painful days for every Ronado fan.
