Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 48

My heart skipped twice on hearing the five letter word ''TOOLZ''. I began to prostrate on the floor, begging for mercy. Although I wasn't the cause of this ''triggered'' drama, but I was absolutely scared for my life. I felt a urine drop on my boxers, as I said the Lords prayer. ''Father pls forgive me my sins. I know say I don commit plenty sins, but Abeg accept me for heaven, when I get to heaven I promise to be a good boy'' I prayed silently, with tears almost rolling down my eyes.

Smart didn't feel the impact of the gun threat. infact, they made him more angrier. I could see him, running around dramatically, searching for planks or even a broken bottle. He was indeed a warri boy. The scene had infact escalated causing a lot of commotion which eventually pulled a lot of crowd, as students could be seen observing and trying to see the outcome of the on going incident. The girl who even caused the whole palava, came begging on our behalf.

The huge guy with deadlock went straight to his 4matic Benz booth, and brought out a locally made pistol. Well, this wasn't the first time, I had seen a hot pistol pointing at me, I was used to it, but I prayed that these encounters shouldn't result to the end of my life. On seeing the guy with the pistol, Smart immediately ran back to the scene, holding a long branch of a tree with him.

Smart: so una wan shoot me abi. There no born una well. For this town, I be Akpos o. No try me


Guy1: you dey mad, you no fear pistol... Where you for bam? You be rat for where I dey o. I go mash you anyhow like beans.

Guy2: them no give this guy OT before he enter this town?


Me: bros, abeg no vex. My guy don too high today abeg.



Guy1: na why your guy con dey miss yan.


Me: I promise he won't do it again.



Smart: this guys no know say my P-man na
Army. My P-man na retired general o. Your mate dey bring Ak 47, you dey bring locally made gun. Shoooo!!! You dey mad o?

On hearing, ''My P-man na retired general'', the brosses, took a few step back, without saying a word, signalled themselves, entered into the vehicle, kicked start it and zoomed off. It was like a miracle. Smart had just overcome those strong men. The truth of the matter is, Smart father wasn't a retired general in the army, he was a teacher in a public school. Indeed Smart was ''Smart''. No wonder he was called smart. I breathe a sign of relieve as we went home, watching our backs every two minutes.

Well, that incident happened in my 2nd year in school and I can't just forget about it.

On seeing my goons, Mayson, Thompson and Smart operating their laptops, chatting with their clients online, I hurriedly went into ''maysons'' kitchen, dished myself enough Rice and Meat stew and I joined them in the room, while they operated their system.

Me: Mayson, you don bill una client?


Mayson: noo, everywhere zaba (meaning, no show)



Me: Thompson what's up. Hope everywhere good for yourside?



Thompson: my client dey respond well, na remain to bill o.

Mayson: una go change una gender to female. Bad guys

While we were discussing issues, relating to ''hustling'', we heard a huge bang on the door. ''BANG BANG BANG BANG'' In fact, It became more louder with every knock.

Mayson: make una quiet.

The rice I was eating shocked my throat as it got stocked, I couldn't breathe and I couldn't cough because if I coughed, who ever was at the door would hear us. I started sweating and tears where running down my eyes in no time.

Smart: Mayson go check who dey the door.


Mayson: you go check who dey the door, you no get leg?


Smart: Mayson you can fear. You and Temy una be the same thing.

Smart slowly tiptoed to the curtain side and peeped through the window.
