Tuesday morning.
There was something about this morning the sky is not as bright as it should be this should be 6:00 am but everywhere is still dark, I check outside my window and outside was just as dark as the inside, I quickly turned on the lights in my room to check what's say the time on the wall clock.... But to my surprise it was only 1:00 am!
I haven't slept at all, how could I sleep? when I was having nightmares about Sandra.
There was one where she was flogging me with her father's cane. Mehn that was horrible, there is no way I can sleep again. I have to just stay awake till 6 am before taking my bath....
The time passed slowly but finally it was 6 AM, I quickly went to take my shower, had breakfast and then rushed off to school.
Due to hectic traffic on the road I didn't reach school on time I barely made it for assembly, I kept wishing no one had told Sandra any thing, when I finally got to school the prefects had already arranged students for the morning assembly and some students where running to the assembly hall I went straight to where my classmates were.
“Hello James, have you seen sandra?"
“Yeah, I saw her talking to Emeka a while ago, but I don't know where she is now."
“Talking to Emeka??!!" I panicked.
I'm too late for sure she must hate me by now, or maybe he said nothing to her? Maybe they just had a normal talk? I kept giving myself hope.
I tried to reach Emaka but he was in the front of the line, and I didn't want to be caught by the prefects. I looked around for Sandra but she wasn't in the assembly ground...... where might she be? She is not in our line nor in any line in the assembly.
The morning assembly went on normally but there was no sign of Sandra till the principal came up to the platform and made an announcement about the upcoming inter-house sport and this made all the students shout on top of their voice in excitement. Usually I should be among the screaming students cus I so much love inter house sport activities cus is a time where I show my great athlete skills, but I had no interest in that now because all that was on my mind was Sandra.
Finally I saw her coming out of the female toilet. I could tell she had been crying, two of my female classmates were with her including Jessica. This is the end of me for sure. The three of them came to the line and my eyes and Sandra's met. I could see the tears dripping from her eyes. I could not bear to look at her so I put my face down.
The assembly was over and we all went to our various classes. I have to explain myself to Sandra.
”S..Sandra please can we talk." I said with cracked voiceSandra: Leave me alone, I don't want to see you, I hate you so much.
She said and her tears were uncontrollable. She kept shouting and I had to leave her cus it was becoming quite a scene, my classmates all gathered around me and Sandra taking the lead was Emeka.
“Leave her alone, haven't you cus enough harm already? She is crying for God sake!"
“You! what have you done, you always go and spoil things. Don't you?"
“I only told her your devilish plan of hurting her, cus I care about her and I am not a big pretender like you."
I lost it completely, I gave Emeka a big right hand punch and we got into a fight, exchanging blows. My classmates tried to separate us but we still kept on exchanging blows. The news that we were fighting had spread to the whole school, which caused my juniors All rushing upstairs to my class to watch us fight.
They kept chanting Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!. Teachers heard about the fight also and up they came rushing towards my class which made my juniors all run away to their various classes.
“What's going on here?!!"
With the shout of Mr President came back our senses, we stopped fighting and only now did I realize that I am about to get in a whole lot of trouble. There are strict rules about fighting in my school and this could lead to me being expelled. What have I done? What has love made me do?“You this boy! I always knew you were good for nothing, come with me and you too Emeka."
He barked at us then took us to his office where he gave us each 15 lashes of cane and after that gave us punishment to do. For some reason I didn't scream or cry when I received the cane unlike Emeka who ran out of the office screaming and crying, maybe because there is a lot on my mind? or maybe because I know I have lost Sandra for good? Or probably because I know this is just the beginning of my punishment.After 30 minutes of frog jumping, we were taken to the principal's office where he tried to find out the reason for our fight. My principal is a very fat man, who literally does nothing , he usually seats in his office while his vice principals does all the school work, but when it comes to cases like fighting he likes to handle it himself, because he knows this will lead to parents coming whereby he can receive money cus the parents won't want their child to be expelled, and will have to bribe him.
He asked us our reason for fighting. I said Emeka told lies about me, but what I heard from Emeka's mouth made my heart stop beating for a while.
“Sir, I only discovered a devilish plan that Chris had for Mr Uche (Mr President) and his daughter, he was planning to take Sandra out and rape her with some group of boys he also planned to film the rape and then send the video online so that everyone could watch. I had to tell Sandra cus I don't want her to get hurt."
I couldn't believe my ears.
My God! Is this what Emaka told Sandra? That's Why she hates me so much. I always knew Emeka had a way of making something which was already bad worse. But I didn't know he could go this far!
_______________
TBCWhat will happen next? Will Chris get expelled? Will Sandra Ever forgive Chris? Or are things about to get even worse for Chris?
Leave a brief comment on what you feel.The principal could not believe what he was hearing, his face was that of disgust and fright as he was trying to take in what Emeka just said.I on the other hand was prepared to defend myself from such despicable accusations, I won't let Emeka ruin my life with his evil lies, because of this unhealthy jealousy he has for me.Emeka had always been jealous of me since I could remember. It started when we were both in junior secondary school (jss). Back then Emeka was like the king of the school, he was rich, handsome and was good at football, he had many friends and the girls were always flocking around him but his fame didn't last long because due to the crisis in the North (Boko Haram) my parents had to relocate, leaving their business and everything they had.We moved down to the West to live in Lagos. Life wasn't really easy at first as my family had lost a lot of money because everything we had was in the North but later on both my parents got a job al
I got home that day, told my parents what happened. I must admit it was not easy telling them, especially when I had to tell them I have been suspended from school for 2 weeks and that the principal had asked for one of their presence in school.My Mom was just so angry and disappointed,shouting and cursing Emeka. You know how mother's used to behave, while my father was as calm as calm can be, he didn't say more than what was necessary, he asked when he needed to be present in school and gave me some advice on life Matters...TWO DAYS have passed since I was suspended. My parents and I had gone to meet with the principal, and I was fined 30,000 naira for fighting and disturbing the peace of the school. I told you my principal knows how to get money involved in everything, yeah such an opportunist.My dad paid the fine and we both headed home.. However, on our way out of the school compound, a Range Rover Sport 2022 model was just making its way into the s
“Ahhhhhh!!!" That was the sound I made while forcing myself to get out of bed for two weeks now I have been waking up any time I please, the earliest was around 10:00 AM but now I had to force myself to wake up around 6 AM, some part of me wished the suspension continued, but it was for the best it ended, because I was eager to see Sandra and explain myself to her regardless of what her father had said earlier. She must have calmed down by now, she would listen to me I guess.I sluggishly took my bath and fixed a quick breakfast before I took off to school....Arriving at the school gate.“Ahh," I took a deep breath wondering what awaits me at the other side of the gate.Has my name been cleared? Or have they added more lies to my head? All these questions kept entering my head as I opened the gate and went in.I noticed people were talking about me as soon as I walked by them, I tried to pretend as if I wasn't hearing or seeing t
When we arrived at the hospital we went straight to the ward where Ayo was being treated. His mum was there with him and I heard she had not left her son's side since the day he was admitted to the hospital.Ayo lay unconscious in the bed, only still living because of the mechanical oxygen being passed through his nose by a machine. It was horrible, I didn't know when tears started licking from my eyes. I felt really pity for Ayo but more for his mother. It's never easy for a mother to see her son lying in a sick bed almost lifeless without being able to do anything to help him.On seeing us Ayo's mom was happy, she told Ayo that visitors are here to see him, that his best friend, who is me, is here to see him as if Ayo was able to see or hear anything she was saying.However I do admire her optimistic spirit, she still believes her son can still pull through from this and I want to share that belief as well.."It's nice you came to check on my son,
In my room reflecting on what happened today, having mixed feelings of joy and sadness. Joy because I have patched things up between myself and Sandra but sadness because of the state in which Ayo was in.I wonder if I will ever hear his voice again, then the thought of me and Sandra almost kissing came to my mind like a flash which made me smile in the midst of my sadness.“Miss Esther just spoiled the show."I said out loud to myself.I wondered what Sandra's lips would taste like? I closed my eyes and started to visualize I was holding Sandra in my arms and about to give her a kiss....Knock!!knock!!What the FUCK! I can't even kiss her in my own imagination without being interrupted!“Who is that!!!!" I said in a frown.“It's me," I heard Felicia voice say.What can this girl possibly want? I wondered. Guess I will have to find out.“Come in, the door isn't locked."Felicia walked
Two days passed, me and Sandra had become very close, but she wasn't yet my girlfriend, hopefully I should ask her out this Saturday if everything goes as planned, the inter house sport practice was still on going so in a week we only have lectures on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday while Tuesday and Friday are for inter house sport practiceEmeka have been quiet since is as if nothing had happened between us, I know it most hurt him seeing me and Sandra together despite all he did to separate us but I don't think he will give up that easily so I always watch my back,sadly Ayo's condition hasn't improved despite doctors effort, they have even advice his parent to cut off his life support cus they see no sign of improvement, but his parent refuse to pull the plug that still kept there son alive although this treatment it's very expensive, I don't know how long they can keep that up.I am really sad for Ayo and I wish him the best but that doesn't mean I can't have
We kissed for a lengthy period of time before we finally stopped. It was really amazing her lips tasted like the purest of honey, I held her firm in my arms, looking straight to her eyes as if I am seeing through it, this made her uncomfortable, but I kept on staring at her eyes, I could see her blushing all over.“You are damn beautiful and I want you for myself, I want to be the one who comforts you when you are sad, I want to be the one who brings you joy, I want to be the one you think of before you sleep, and the one you dream of when you fast asleep, the first one you think of when you wake up because you are these things and even more to me," I said.“I don't know what to say," Sandra said.“Just say you love me and would be my girlfriend."“Yes, I love you and I am happy to be your girlfriend."She said and we both kissed again and to my surprise it was even better than the first kiss. I was so happy
This Sunday was the worst Sundays of my life, I was just completely useless, I couldn't do anything, I didn't have the courage to dial Sandra's phone in case her father picks the call again, my heart was beating very fast as if had been running a marathon race since I came back from my date with Sandra, even my parents notice that I wasn't my usual self cus I didn't bother watching the Epl matches and in the evening when my and my dad favorite team Barcelona were playing there la liga match I had no interest in watching them all what was on my mind was Sandra and her dad.“Son, come watch the game with me, it's about to start," my dad said.“Sorry dad, but I am not interested in today's game." I declined.“Since when did you start missing Barça matches?" My dad looked surprised.“I am just not feeling fine, dad."“Are you sick?"“No dad," I replied.“Are you sure?"“Y
