BOY MANIAC
Chapter 8
I clenched my fist tightly and gritted my teeth as she kept on repeating the word “or else, or else.”Or else what!!? what is she going do? beat me? She better not dare. She had the guts to say all those harsh words to me all because I called my own dad pops man. Does she even know WTF pops man means? She better shut her bloody mouth or else...or else.... My hands twitched and a vein kept pulsing in my forehead. My face was suppressed with unnecessary rage as I tried all best to remain silent. I knew my brain was about to fry up again, I was about to mess up again. It's no excuse I know; I own my behaviour. I have the right to decide for myself, but I just didn't have it in me to stop the pressure in my head. Deep down I knew I was at fault, and shouldn't be angry. I knew the right thing to do was to apologise. But this brain, has gained independence. It was like it had a mind of it's own, like I wasn't in control of it, aRelated chapters

Chapter 9I stormed into my room, huffing and puffing loudly. My chest heaving like I had run a hundred metre race. Glaring at the neatly arrange bed in front of me. Adrenaline coursed through my veins and I dashed at it unable to keep my cool I unleashed several punches on it; tossing the beddings around; transferring my anger on the bed until I had had my fill. Tired of punching I sat on the dishevelled bed. Musing about the whole incidents of the day: the one at my daddy's room; the one at the sitting room and the anger I had exerted on the poor innocent beddings. The pool of my thoughts was filled to the brim. Why am I angry? Why did I hit Wole's hand aside? Why did I manifest like that before storming out? Why didn't I listen to my head voice when it told me to keep my cool? Why do I end up doing things I don't want to do? Like cackling fiendishly in my Papa's room, grinning at my mom when I knew it would offend her; grinning but deep down I wanted t

Chapter 10My muscles were automatically tensed, my hands tightened into a fist, wringing the bedsheet beneath my ass. I stood up from the bed. My hands twitching; ready to grab anything and smash it to shreds. I forced myself to come to my senses but nothing felt real to me anymore. I looked away, then looked back to see if she was still there. She was still there, frozen with shock. Her face washed blank with confusion.“No I won't”She retorted in a doleful tone.“Mom, just go, please go! I'm afraid I might harm you. Go! please!!!”I pleaded.“No!! I will never leave you”She retorted and made a dive at me. Pulling me into a warm embrace.My eyes widened. My body didn’t know how to react, it just shut down. I froze to a point where I was hardly breathing. I wanted to wrap my hands around her too, and at the same time I wanted to fling her away. But I held back. She sustained the hug for a while and slowly pulled away.“I want you to kn

Chapter 11“Those days you were gone my heart broke. It broke until all that remained were painful fragments. Having you back, means the world to me. But I'm so angry at the universe, for ever taking you away from me. Now it has brought you back, and also changed your personality.Chatting with you back then was a sort of verbal dance, so beautiful, that it made us laugh out loud. Since I stepped my foot into this room, I have been expecting your banter; looking forward to hear your jokes, and play rough with you. But it saddened me when I realized you are no longer the Stiles I knew.”Wole added and bit his lower lip.Suddenly grief swept through my system, enveloping my soul; strangling it whole as the memory of me ranting at Wole played in my mind. Thinking about it made a shudder from my feet travel to my head.“I see emotions in your eyes, I see your pain and your gentleness embossed on them. Your eyes

Chapter 12 Slumped at the dinner table, my brows furrowed and face tightened into a grimace. While my mom and dad were busy having there fills. "What's up?" My mom asked, raising her brows, her tone casual and light. “Why are you not eating?”she asked softly. “Ahem..” I cleared my throat and gulped. “My friends; they are going out” I replied; scowling at her plate of banga soup. “Ah! ah!!” She exclaimed with mouth wide open. “See me see trouble oh. So if your friends are going out, how does that stop you from eating? I begi carry your eba and swallow. I said eat my friend.” She replied; moulding her eba into a ball. After moulding, she dipped the round yellowish ball inside the reddish soup, stirred it for a while like she was exploring its thickness. The soup was the colour of palm oil. It was adorned with sumptuous meat and fish that my mouth salivated and my stomach rumbled.

Chapter 13FLÀSHßÀÇK____SMÎTH’S PÔV ___The Rubik's cube puzzle... There was this day I came back from work, tired and hungry. When I entered the sitting room, I saw Stiles seated on the couch, turning some kind of colored cube. He was too focused on the cube that he didn't see me come into the house.“Stiles!”I exclaimed and his body jerked... quickly he greeted me.“Good day pops”breathing heavily he asked“Pops, how long have you been standing there?"“Pops!?"I rejoined, staring at him quizzically.“Oh! today, I watched a movie in which a boy call's his dad pops..”"And so, what happened?”“Well, I really loved the chemistry between the father and his son”“Is that it?”“Yeah, and I also want to call you pops

And when he spoke his voice trailed slowly, like his words were unwilling to take flight. There was this sudden aura of grey around him, an aura which had not being there at

Chapter 15As soon we entered the sitting room. My eyes fell on my mom, dad and two ladies. A frown fell upon my lips and I was like damn! boring visitors again.“Mom, look. Uncle Styles”The children called out as they ran off to meet a lady sitting on the couch.“Oh! Styles....oh my God! is this you? Come over here and give your aunty a hug”The lady said; standing to her feet with outstretched arms. I breathed a sigh of misery, a sigh I had been holding in since the very moment I step my foot into the sitting room. For a while, I remained still. I hate visitors, because all they do is keep a sad face, sympathize, and make me feel awful. And right now I'm not in the mood for that. So I decided to head back to my room, but as I was about to leave, my eyes fell on my dad and my mom who were busy chatting with the other lady. Oboy! mission impossible. There's no way, no way out of here. As long as my

Chapter 16I drew in my breath, and let it back out with a loud sigh. From the front porch the street came into view like a high-definition movie. The kids and I strolled into the street winded ahead of us like a flowing river, people clustered the street, people moving here and there, vehicles moving up and down. As we walked down the street, my eyes flickered back and forth admiring the brightly painted buildings. The houses were identical in shape and size but no two were the same. They were of different colors, yellow, white, blue, red, green and every color you could think of; we came across many stores but I ignored them and kept on strolling with my cousins. I wanted to use my opportunity to explore the town. I wasn't scared of losing my way back home, because there was a very long mast opposite my house. If ever I lose my way back home, I would use the mast to trace my way back home. After much pressure from the kids, we finally came to a stop, in
