School – it’s one of the greatest privileges you can experience. It’s also one of the things we wish we didn’t have to. Every single generation knows the pain of having to sit in classrooms that were either swelteringly hot or freezing cold, wearing uniforms designed by a sadist and sewn out of itchiness, being asked to integrate a curve or rattle off every single inflection of a third declension Latin noun. Every generation also knows the bliss of finding ways to make the time pass faster, and that usually involved stepping over the line of good behaviour.
The most obvious way of making the school day pass easier was to just make it a “day” and remove the “school” bit. Bunking is a time-honoured pastime, and it takes more judgement than people might credit. Ipeleng knows this firsthand, as she once “tried not going in for maths class”, but was eventually found by her teacher. Justin also says that “bunking lessons” was his greatest crime in school, and Tsatsii says she did it so that she could “chill with the smokers”. She’s silent on the issue of whether or not she was one of those smokers, or just a groupie.
Often, people don’t mean to bunk. They just arrive late and are marked as absent. That nearly happened to Khosi, who was such a goody-two-shoes that she jumped the school fence, cutting her hand in the process. Olivia also falls into the grey area of naughty-but-not-so-naughty: she “stole [her] friend’s notebook” in order to copy her assignment. Obviously, that’s wrong, but – if we’re being honest – we give her points for even bothering to fake doing her homework.
Yvonne took a decidedly more obvious step into delinquency by deflating her lecturer’s tyres, and Miracle OP once hid someone’s school bag with all of their books in it, which is a bit of a bully move, but everyone’s been guilty of that sort of thing once or twice. Blaqboi – not too keen on his seniors – would spit in their drinks whenever they sent him to get water. Eeeeewwwww.
Then, there’s the making out. Kanaga Jnr says that making out was his naughtiest behaviour in school, while Ebubu lost his virginity there. Yemi Cregx says that he “had sex at the back of the school faculty building,” which is such a Yemi Cregx answer it’s basically in a stormy relationship with Khosi.
Blue Aiva admits to smoking something a little stronger than tobacco while at school, and Nelisa says that a batch of birthday muffins got mixed up with some “special” muffins, leading to an “absolutely chaotic” day at school.
Then there’s something that’s perhaps a little disturbing. Nana said the naughtiest thing she ever did was make out. With her lecturer. In his office. We’ll just leave that there.
