Betrayal - Season 2 - Episode 6

*continues*

I ran into Lynda when i finally got downstairs. I smiled polietly and stopped by her side. She was well dressed up that fateful morning, with a big pink handbag slung on her right shoulder. The events of the previous evening instantly came racing into my mind and i glanced at her injured beauty with a heart filled with pain.
“hi dear are you going to school?” i asked with a look of surprise, because after what happened the previous day i never knew she even had the strength to dress up for an outing.

“no i’m going over to a friend’s house, i’ll stay there till i recover” she explained with a weak smile. I truly was touched.
“that’s a nice idea dear, i’ll keep praying for you” i muttered with a friendly pat on her left shoulder. She nodded with a smile and left without another word. I really felt like crying that moment, but i held myself and walked to the water-pump, which unfortunately wasn’t working that morning. With a deep sigh i went to the extreme end of the backyard where the second water pump was located and equally where Dave and his friends do stay most of the time, smoking and doing some weight-lifting exercises, making that corner of our lodge highly avoided by students, but i had no choice than to go there, since i badly needed water…
I slowly went there with a fast beating heart, and just like i feared Dave and two guys sat beside the water-pump discussing seriously. I muttered some greetings which they ignored before quietly fetching water from the Tap.
“i will be in your room later” i heard Dave mutter with a serious look as i carried the heavy bucket of water i fetched. I said nothing to him, though i managed to force out a smile, which i knew he interpreted wrongly.
I slowly returned to my room with my thoughts focused on how to end his disturbance. Nothing so far has been able to stop him and with Lynda finally out of the way, i knew i was in for a bigger trouble, and it just looked as if i jumped out from a burning pot only to land on the fire underneath.
“oh Lord please don’t let this fire burn Benjamin as-well” i prayed as i stepped into my room.

Perhaps it was my thoughts that blinded me or my fears that clouded my sight and prevented me from seeing Amara and chuks engaged in a scuffle. But It was to late to avert disaster as chuks falling body crashed on me without warning. My head smashed on the wall, while his elbow broke my lips. My bucket instantly fell, watering my room in the process. Amara screamed in panic…..
