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

I knew thunder had just struck close to me, though I did not hear any sound or felt anything, I just knew lightning had hit the ground close by, how else will I just be seeing white all of a sudden. as usual ,my heart had stopped beating.

me: ” mercy say toke no see her period?”(I asked to confirm)
david: ” yes, better go check the date una nack last make you try figure how many months, I sure say na only you dey nack that girl”

I wanted to tell him that we have only done it once, but I felt that is not necessary, I can’t even call that event number one sef, that was not S£x, it was a prologue to it.

me:” months ke, how can it be months?” (referring to the pregnancy)
david: “I no know jare, period na once every month, it means she is pregnant for over one month, when last una nack”

I don’t know how he calculated it and my brain was not even ready to add one plus one at the moment. I dId not answer his question.

As he climbed the staircase leading to his room, he warned me to solve the problem fast, that if we wait too long, we would not be able to do anything about it. He also said that mercy told him that if toke’s father hears about it, he will turn my skin to carpet after removing it from my body. I believed that is true cus toke is the last born and only daughter.

What her father will do is the last of my concern, it’s what my own parents will do that’s concerning me. I’m sure they will not allow an abortion, I’m also sure my education will come to an end, all the money gathered will now be chanelled to other matters.

I did not sleep that night, I just sat on the bed with by back to the wall, thinking about the future, my roomates who woke up during the night kept asking me what is wrong, “nothing” was my reply whenever they asked.

I tried to sleep, but as I close my eyes it’s one nightmare after another, from dreaming about toke’s father flogging me with iron rod, to my parents disowning me. The one that took sleep away finally is the one where toke’s father was pursuing me with a gun(she had told me her father has a double barrel), as he was about to shoot , I shouted, the shout left my dream, entered my lungs and came out of my mouth in real life.

The “yeeeee” woke every one up at same time, one guy, who was the one that slept beside me and whose ears where close to my mouth when I shouted, and who was also at the farthest end of the room just jumped up and ran for the door, jumping over everybody, shouting “yee,yee”, another followed him, the chain reaction started. Three more boys ran after the first two, two others, not knowing what was happening but still want to be on the safe side, just walked outside. It was when they where halfway Down the hall that they realised nothing was pursuing them, it was then they started asking each other stupid questions ” what’s wrong?”, “why you run?”, wetin happen?”

Since no one was able to give a satisfying answer why they all ran, they decided to start lyingc to themselfs before they look like fools, “I think I saw a snake enter through the window” said the guy who started the mumu race, they believed him anyway , cus even after checking the room and seeing no snake, some brought out there bible and started praying , casting out any demon that tried to enter the room.

It was amusing watching them do the things they did, but I was not in the mood for laughter, by the time the whole thing died down, it was morning already, so instead of sleeping, we all went downstairs to join the queue to fetch water.

I went to class feeling miserable, I needed to know the truth, I was perturbed that toke will be going through something like that and still felt free to kiss me yesterday, or was she trying to make me feel calm before she tells me the life changing news?

by evening I was at the edge, the border between calmness and madness, I was almost going bunkers.

David as usual has told boys in the room, some joked about it, some made reasonable suggestions, while some kept quiet. I knew I was not not in control of my self when I was beaten 4-0 when I played soccer on play station.

8pm, I decided to find out how long she has been pregnant, probably their is still something that can be done. I got to her room and met mercy, she was about leaving for David’s room, “so it’s mercy that David was booking for room for earlier” I thought.
mercy: ” she has gone out , but she will soon be back, she told me that if you come, you should wait for her”
mercy left while I sat on toke’s bed, toke came back after a while, she did not see me immediately. As she was walking to her space, I heard her telling one of her roomates “i’ve brought the drugs, I hope it works o”.

Haa, has this girl decided to take matters into her hands, I saw the drugs in her hands, but the moment she saw me, she tried to hide it.
me: ” what’s the drugs for”
toke: ” what’s your own, it’s women matter”
me: ” you know I’m involved in this, I need to know what you are doing”
toke: (laughing)” what im i doing ke, this drug is for girls issues, you don’t know what the drug is for and you are saying you are involved, well you are involved in a way sha”
me: ” see, you should have told me before you make such decision”
toke: ” so I should inform you before I go and and buy drugs to suppress my cramps”
me: ” cramps, what cramps?”
toke: (she roled her eyes) ” menstrual cramps”
me: (frowning)” are you saying you are on your period”
toke: ” yes, it started yesterday night and I don’t like the pains”
You should have seen my reaction
