... And one day you'll find bags under your eyes...

You will recall high school's dreamy hours;

How slowly, slowly they passed by, and dozing during those long schoolroom afternoons... These words

capture the nostalgia of days gone by and the craze of the teen years in high school. The year is 1990! Tommy

Omtita, a year out of high school, is waiting to go to campus. Fifteen-year-old Bonnie Omtita is trying to

Become both his secondary school's goalkeeper and top poet, while keeping out of the way of the estate buly,

Obash Kamwaro. Throw in their playful domestic help, Nandwa, their mad mongrel, Shiva, and the daft estate

gatekeeper 'Kill Pat' and we are left gasping for breath as the mad mix of characters leave us roaring in

laughter, or in fits of giggles, sometimes with hands held over our mouths. Original and compelling, this story

highlights the impatient atmosphere of adolescence with its quest for endless holiday and, for Tommy, a pretty

damsel.
