Miracle and Ada were friends from childhood. They grow up in the same neighborhood, went to the same nursery, Primary and Secondary School. It happened that Miracle was very brilliant, Smart and Obedient. Ada on the other hand was also a good girl, but in Academics, she is on the average.
They was a term that Miracle came Second in her class while her friend came Tenth. That very day, Ada's mother insulted her and asked her if her friend that came 2nd has two brains. She went ahead to say that Miracle and her mother bribed the teacher and this very act sow a seed of discord in Ada's heart.
She was always comparing herself to Miracle, she always wanted to do what her friend do. To the extent that when they entered Senior Secondary school she went to Commercial class with her friend even though she was Art inclined. She kept on planning on her to bring Miracle down and soil her name.
She achieved her plan during their promotional exams when she Implanted expo inside her friend's locker went ahead to tell the Invigilator that she saw Miracle copying answers from a sheet of paper. The Invigilator investigated Miracle and found the chips inside her Locker. Miracle was confused because she can't remember doing that. She was asked to repeat the class or leave the School because that was their rule.

Ada's plans were accomplished but she began to feel guilt and her Conscience began to haunt her. Miracle on the other hand became a shadow of herself, no School accepted to take her after they had what happened in her previous School and she had to repeat class in her School. After a while, Ada couldn't bear the guilt of what she did and she summoned courage and reported herself to the School authority and her friend Miracle was vindicated. Miracle was surprised that her bosom friend could perpetrate such against her. She forgave Ada but the trust was already broken.
