Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 51

I ran into my room with immediate alacrity, only to see my buddy, Smart trying to rip off his cloths. Smart wasn't the guy I used to know, he had turn completely wild, like a loose stray dog. He began to punch the wall and breaking everything that comes his way while my friends struggled to hold him back.

''make una leave me alone o'' he said with tear dropping out of his eyes. His eyes had turned red like Benin sand, and his voice hardened, it's as if he was possessed or something.

Smart: leave me alone, make I die. I done tire for this world

Thompson: Smart you no go die, you here. Just relax

Smart: I wan to die, I'm tired. Leave me alone o. Leave me alone o

Mayson: Temy abeg, bring palm oil sharp sharp. Lock the door, I no want make he come out.

I hurriedly ran into my kitchen and brought out my remaining keg of palm oil. We tried forcing the palm oil down his throat but he kept resisting. He kept gnashing his teeth. While we were struggling to open his mouth, he bit thompsons finger.

''he don bite me o'' Thompson shouted with a loud cry. Blood was gushing out his finger. ''choi! Na so I go take craze like Smart?''

Me: afa relax, you no go craze. Go put kerosene inside.
Thompson: Temy o, I no wan craze o. Hep me abeg.

Mayson: relax, no fear. Smart madness never strong like that.

Smart immediately freed himself from us after much resistance, he held me by the neck with both hands while my guys tried to free me from the shackles of Smart. I prayed I don't get bitten. I could see Thompsons blood stained on his teeth. He looked like the Vampires in ''true blood''.

Smart: I want to eat ice cream and garri. Temy, I want to eat ice cream and garri.
Me: but, It's already too late, I will buy it for you tomorrow.
Smart: you must buy it for me o. (he began to cry like a baby)
Me: Smart free me na, you wan press my neck?.. Pls abeg, free me. (I began to beg)
Smart: Thompson (looking at Thompsons direction), God is punishing me for my sins. I want to die oooo
Mayson: Temy help me bring rope sharperly. Make we tie smart. he fi kill himself o

I went outside to the direction where we all sundry our wet cloths, I cut the ropes and I ran back into my room without raising any alarm. The party was still going on, and I could see, people dancing and winning. Only if they knew what was happening in my room.

I gave Mayson the rope, and I watched him tie Smart like a dead mommy while he struggled to free himself. I felt like crying for him.

Smart: release me o. You better release me or I will cut this rope with my bare hands. I'm strooong. I'm very strooong.
Me: Smart, you need to relax.
Mayson: Temy, abeg bring water, make we use take cool him brain.

Me: okay boss. But wait, una smoke kush before una come my room?
Mayson: nooo, we no kush o. Na only the beer we done drink since o

Thomson: I no wan mad o. I dey fear o.
Me: relax, nothing go do you. You too dey fear.
Smart: Thompson you be idiot. But you still be my guy. I love you.
Me: oboy! Smart done turn gay o. Like play like play.
Smart: I'm not gay. Stop it. Stop it.

Me: okay boss. Are you getting better now.
Smart: NOooo. Karma is hunting me. Help me. I'm burning. Please.
Mayson: you get smart papa phone number?

Me: E dey him phone, should we call his parents?
Mayson: if the craze continue till tomorrow, we go call him parents.
Smart: I want to eat yam and bread. Now now now

Me: okay, I will cook it for you. There's rice on the fire already.
Smart: I want to take my bathe, untie me now. Mayson, Mayson Mayson, untie me now.

Mayson: we can't untie you. You will get loosed
Smart: I won't.

Mayson: I will release you under one condition.
Smart: tell me, my body itches me. It's burning me..... Talk now
Mayson: did you smoke weed before coming?
Smart: no I didn't.
Mayson: are you sure.
Smart: yes, Mayson Yes. Release me now.

Mayson carefully released Smart from the rope, he ran into the bathroom and began to take his bathe, he took about an hour before he came out, He fell on my bed and slept off. I was scared to stay in the room with my crazy friend, I was afraid that he might just press my neck at night while I was fast asleep, but I had no choice. Myself, Mayson and Thompson slept that night with an eye opened. The hostel party was indeed ruined for us.

We woke up the next morning to see Smart, looking normal as ever.

''smart na you be this''? I asked.

''na me o'' he replied
''I hope you know say you craze yesterday?''

''na lie'' he interjected ''I can recall us having a conversation until everything went blank''
