5 Kinds of classmates that should burn in hell.

There are classmates we just tolerate. We pretend that we love them; we chat with them on the class WhatsApp, dodge them tactfully in group discussions and even attend parties with them. Deep down, we just wish these classmates should burn in hell. Here are the wretched classmates who are thorns in our class life. 

1. The talk talk talk and talk classmate. This classmate must talk. It doesn't matter whether the issue has been explained in a satisfactory way or not. They must, and I repeat must talk in class. Their hand literally lives in the air. They go like "excuse me teacher, I was thinking... Damn! We are listening not thinking here. After they have been answered and another point is made, their hand is raised again. "I beg to differ...” Argh! You are not a beggar for heaven's sake. You are a student. When a question is thrown at someone and they can't answer it correctly, they are always standby with answers-wrong ones of course. "Let me help her/him" they say. What are you? A helper? 

2. The mean classmate. They can't let you share a handout or book with them. She handles her stuff like the buttons of her life support. In exams, she covers her work. It’s as though we are all in class one and she is worried you may take her position. She has gone for extra writing material and has written more than three pages answer for question one. You have written nothing. You are trying in vain to remember points. 

Has Dr. Matiangi been briefed of such Classmates? Who are lowering education standards by making others fail? Needless to say they can't give you their note books. A typical conversation of you asking for their notebook goes like:

You: Can you lend me your notebook?

Classmate: Will you be in tomorrow?

You: To yourself: I even don't know.

Classmate: You know am supposed to read the notes today.

You. Let me borrow someone else. 

You borrow a generous classmate. The one who doesn't act like her heart will stop beating if you don't show up with her book. You know she won't mind even if you don't show up till the second coming. 

3. The teacher’s pet and spy. This classmate sits at the front of the class. He has the class duster, chalk or board marker. He has never missed classes and will never. He talks to the teacher after class. He likes reminding the teacher to give assignments. Even if he hands in before everyone else, its shoddy work .He tells the teacher all the class secrets. When you speak ill of the teacher, he repeats it to the teacher. Why is this classmate this way? 

4. The activist classmate. This one wanted to be a student leader but failed terribly. He therefore lives a life of criticising the system. He's a sworn enemy of the incumbent leader. On one occasion, when they were arguing as usual, they fought. He was punched on the face. But because of Tibim! Comrade power, the small matter was swept under the floor. The two comrades denied it. They told the disciplinary committee that one of them fell and hit the corridor rails on the face. Even if all comrades decided to cover it, they just wish this activist classmate should burn in hell. 

5. The lovebird’s classmates. While there's nothing wrong with people being in love, there is a problem in rubbing it on everybody's face. These classmates are always together. They walk hand in hand and sit together. They imagine themselves the Romeo and Juliet. Consequently, they have a right to lecture everyone on love issues. Sometimes (it's all the time actually) they quarrel with other classmates due to jealously seizures. You can't greet their partner or ask anything. You will be accused of wanting to steal them. When will this lovebirds break up? After graduation of course.
