Must Read: How 3 Girls Fought Over 1 Guy (A Tale)

Ekaite heard me call her name, her face, though battered, was still able to register her hauthiness, she surely did not want me to see her in that state and despite what happened to her, she still feel I’m below her.

She and David walked some distance away to talk, “na bodyguard I come do for hear” , I asked my self, if im not needed, why I’m I staying. So while they where talking to each other, I decided to walk away. I realised later that David just wanted backup in case she was attacked again, if she was really attacked again while I was there, he would have seen how bad a backup I can be.


I went back to the hostel and went to meet ade who was also just coming back in.
me:” guy, wetin happen to ekaite”
ade: ” you sabi the girl?”
me: ” I don sabi am since 100 level, she be uzoma bedmate”
ade’s eyes opened wide, then he started laughing
ade:” this David na bastard, he be real bastard, even me sef no fit do that kain thing”
me” tell me wetin happen na?”
ade: ” no worry anti, how the girl sef”
I described the condition of ekaite and ade said “nkan ti bobo yI ra owo Le yi” (what this guy is putting his hands into). Ade refused to tell me anything further, but I got to know details later.

Some days later, I went to my female coursemates room, the one that stays in the same hostel with uzoma. I gave her the assignment, also sat to eat rice and stew, I love rice and stew, most rice one gets to eat in school is always concoction or jollo rice ( the “f” has been removed from “jollof” cus the ingredients are always incomplete).

After eating, we gisted for a while about school life and relationships. Our jiSt now went to what she told me about ekaite.
me: ” have you seen her recently?”(trying to know her present condition)
coursemate: “I’ve not seen her o, Ive not seen her since their was a scuffle in her room”
me: ” scuffle?, you ,mean fight?”
coursemate: ” scuffle, one night like that, she and one of her roomates where shouting at each other and wanted to fight. I saw her leaving the hostel and I ve not seen her since, but you tell me say you no know her na!”
me: ” I don’t really know her, Im just curious cus you said she is dating my friend”
coursemate: ” I’ve seen your friend with her many times, I even saw them smooching one night in hellfire when I went to read in class.”



Everything is falling into place, I’m beginning to realise what happened in full. Well, the whole truth was confirmed from uzoma herself, as I left the hostel , I saw her coming in , she had a bandage on her head too.

“wetin do you” I asked her, “wetin concern you” she replied.
me:” okay o, I go just tell everybody say dem beat you for school”
uzoma: “who be everybody wey you wan tell”
me :” everybody, both school and house”
As she heard “house”, she became alarmed and warned me to stop playing.
me: ” who really beat you”
uzoma: “nobody”
me:” so where all this come from,(indicating the bandage and plaster on her face and arm) you done go dey form superwoman again abi and them don show you pepper”
She moved towards me menacingly, ready to unleash one of her numerous warnings supported by deadly threats, but I was not perturbed, in fact as she stood in front of me, trying to frighting me, my eyes where locked on her cleavage, she took notice but did not talk about it.
uzoma: ” anti-gbeborun, wetin concern you for my matter”
me :” uzoma, I’ve known you since when you where still wearing super ted and wonder woman pant while playing in the rain” (she laughed, she knew it was true, she did really wear those pants that had the pictures of those famous cartoon figures painted in front of it).”


so you think school could change the fact that we have known each other for a long time, if you don’t want me to know, no problem”
uzoma: (relaxed a bit now)” anti, seriously, nobody beat me, this na just for show”
me: ” I know say you fight recently o”
uzoma: ” how you take know?”

With lies laced with truth, or is it truth laced with lies, plus some little manipulations, I was able to get the truth out of her. She admitted she had a fight, but she was not injured, she told me the bandages did not come from the fight. she inflicted herself with the injury.


Imagine!, uzoma broke bottle and stabbed herself, several times in the hand, she even used the bottle to hit herself on the head several times before going to medical center to get treated.


Why did she do that?, she did it because ekaite was badly injured by her in the one way fight, in her rage she had picked up a bamboo plank and wacked her everywhere till she fainted. she felt that If she reported her injuries too, it will be either be “two fighting” or she can argue that she was attacked first and she defended herself. She felt the school authorities might be involved cus she heard that ekaite was taken to the medical center blodied, so she injured herself and went to the medical centre too the next morning.

where did they fight? beside the hostel, one dark area that people used as shortcut when going to the school gate area. only few people who do not know they were saw the fight.

why did they fight? she discovered that David was banging ekaite, though later details revealed that it was ekaite that was banging David. Everything was now clear to me, David is banging mercy, uzoma and her roomate ekaite at same time. No wonder ade said him sef no fit try wetin David dey do.

finally uzoma said “if I catch David, I’m going to break his balls” , I smiled as I said in my mind “how I which you could really carry that out, I’ll be so happy!”

we were still talking when we saw ekaite coming towards the hostel, also with bandage and plasterling in her head and arms, women!
