Daniel and Kaka had followed up with the principal immediately after the party to know what would have led to such a sudden change in the mood of all the teachers and even the principal. However all their efforts to unlock the principal were futile as the principal was weeping soberly. It didn't take a few minutes when the phone principal rang and he picked it up and ran to the other room to answer the call. Something that he has never done before now. This raised more fear inside Daniel. He concluded that they may have reversed the decision on Shola. The teachers joined in the weeping at the principal's house much to the fear of Kaka and Daniel. The principal returned from his call and held himself for some minutes. He took Daniel to the other room and Kaka didn't go with them. After a few minutes they entered, all Kaka could hear was screaming from Daniel. In the next scene, he saw Daniel weeping helplessly just like the principal and the teachers. Kaka approached Daniel to lay h
Family morning prayer commenced with the normal routine section of praises from the last of the five children of Mr Moss, who is a well-known and devout follower of God. The morning prayer was quite different from other days as the day was the birthday of the first fruit of the family. Shola was born eleven (11) months after the union of Mr Moss and his soulmate Mrs Josephine. Faces were glowing, smiles were evidence of the Joy in the hearts of the members of the Family. No sooner than later the praise section ended when Mr Moss, a pious man opens the scriptures to dish out as usual the words of God to the Family. His message was that of prodigal son, nailing on the need for the whole family to stay put on the path of God. Most importantly the need to avoid joining bad gangs. Immediately he finished his words, Mrs. Josephine laid support emphasis to the already dished out words of the husband. “My children, the world has been ruined, and our location has never helped the situation
Mr Moss is well known in his church as a man of records. He is fondly called by youths Paul the writer while some follow men call him secretary to Rome. He can take minute records of events and can easily recall dates and times events took place. On the social platforms, he is the one always referred to when birthdays are required. There is also a room in his house referred to room of records, that is where you will get the real history of the church and all that happened in time past, both his personal and family. Yesterday wouldn’t be different from his normal record life. Of course, he had written down the mighty point he got yesterday from the words of Glory so as to buttress on it to have Daniel sent to seminary.“What were you writing dear when I entered the room yesterday?” Mrs Josephine asked struggling to investigate the more on the note she had seen after the husband left for bible study that same yesterday. The note had it boldly written that “on this day, 6 girls visited
(Family loading bags into the family bus, everyone is busy remembering and gathering all that has been bought)“Hope the provisions for Shola are all already in the bags packed?”. Asked Mr Moss.“Yes, they should be “. Replied Gift (Mr. Moss' first daughter).“So, who and who is joining us on the trip?” Mr Moss asked, cutting eye on Gift. “We don’t need many persons since its Saturday, let the last three kids do the chores”. Mrs Josephine cuts in.“Uhmm, Dad!!“. Gift shouted, Moving towards the Father. “At least let me witness how a seminary looks like please”. She pleaded. “Beloved, please we don't need her, she should organize the house since we won't much hours there”. Mrs. Josephine angrily sounded.“Ok that’s good”. Replied the husband. “Gift my love, please understand what Mom is saying, we will be back as soon as possible”. Mr. Moss said to her, brought out some cash and handed over to her to get some drinks and snacks for the siblings.****** (Having been on the road for
(Body lying on the floor, considerations on hospital nearby to take the body too) “He may not survive the results of what he had done; in as much as I still don’t believe that the victim didn’t do anything wrong”. The principal told the senior prefect. It has been reported that a student was given a huge blow before night prep in hostel C2. The victim is lying on the floor with a huge wound and blood rushing out. All the students were at the refectory eating when the event happened. The principal had also given instructions that the case is suspended till the victim will be able to gosh out words before further actions will be taken. A few minutes later, the boy had been taken to hospital, while investigations were still on when the classmates of Daniel reported to the senior prefect that Daniel was not around till the end of the meal. Therefore, much scrutiny should be done on his way about after he had left. The next day, Daniel had already been summoned before the whole school.
(At the hospital)The school management has discussed Daniel’s health attention, Daniel was then sent to the same room with the victim so that the school matron won’t be running in between two rooms, though el’s case won’t take the whole day as it had been immediately attended to and then he had also been put on a drip due to probability of blood loss and strength. On entrance to the room, the victim saw Daniel entering and did a deadly sign towards him by moving his hands across his neck signaling to Daniel that he will surely kill him. Daniel didn’t shake or do as if it was a serious matter. These reactions from Daniel caused more fear within the boy as he had been suspecting since that day of the encounter that Daniel must have joined a higher cult for him to get in mind to fight a cultist. Within a few hours of their stay in the ward, the matron, unaware of the facial threats from the two boys, stepped out of the ward to get food and energy drinks for the boys as the school had i
Daniel after weeks was no more referred to as a new student. Not even after he had seen and passed through a lot of experiences. It is now the week after which there will be a midterm break. Shola his brother had always not been too close to him after the incident of the first week. Shola had told him to be strong or else leave the school. Daniel himself has seen almost all he thought were lies whenever Shola talks about seminary. Shola had told him months ago before he entered the school that there had been cases of witchcraft activities and some scary moments like that seen in horror movies. Daniel never accepted such words citing them as superstitions and misconceptions caused by fear and anxiety. On one faithful day, the prayer secretaries and the prayer team headed by the chapel prefect were having prayers in hostel C2 Daniel's hostel. They had done the prayers in other hostels but Daniel as usual was not fully aware due to his less movement in other hostels. He always loved st
(On a bus heading home for a mid-term break) “Hope you are enjoying our school or ?“ Shola started a conversation. (Daniel smiles) “Well, indeed I am enjoying my stay in the school, just a few experiences that were negative”. Daniel replies. “I understand, that’s how it goes, new environment doesn’t accept adaptation as quick as we need it; anyways you have to keep trying and moving because Soon, just a term remaining for me to go; that’s why I'm not so close as a brother because I need you to balance well”. Shola tells him, with a cute smile. “You are no longer a student, you are a boss, how many times do you even stay in school?”. Daniel responded with a funny look. “Haha, one day you will also be tired of the school, we were serious till we got to ss3, it is a period in our lives and we should enjoy it while it lasts”. Daniel replies. “Okay oh!”. Daniel answers “ That reminds me; I saw you when you were staring at us last night; hope you won’t tell dad and mum?”. Shola ask
