Secondary - Season 2 - Episode 2

I opened the door to their room and entered into it with trembling legs.


Dad:”Gabriel, what is this your mom is telling me? That you got suspended. Just tell me its a lie” he said immediately I entered the room.

Me:”Its true dad, mom is right” I said calmly while he breathed out and sat down on his bed.

Dad:”Gab, when will you stop being notorious? Why are you always getting yourself into trouble?” He asked looking intensely at me.

Me:”I didn’t make trouble dad” I said.


Dad:”Then trouble made you, now tell me what happened” he demanded while I turned to my mom.

Me:”Didn’t mom tell you what happened?” I asked

Dad:”I want to believe she is lying, the school can’t suspend you just because you have feelings for a girl and another girl which you Dont have feeling for wants you which you refused and then they blackmail you. For Christ sake Gabriel, that happens only in movies. ” he said again while i smiled a little.

Me:”Dad that was exactly what happened” I confirmed it.

Mom:”Maybe you should follow him to the school tomorrow to confirm if he is lying ” my mom added.


Dad:”Follow who? So that everyone will know I am his father, am not going anywhere with him, I know my son, sorry your son. He must certainly have done something bad maybe beaten up a teacher ” my dad added.

Me:”Dad I Dont do that anymore, am a changed boy now” I said while my dad laughed out.


Dad:” my son, the devil is waiting for you to repent. Just go, you will stay at home until your suspension is over. Honey follow him to the school on Monday to confirm the story because I dont believe this boy. ”


Mom:”I am not going o, Cynthia will come and tell us what happened” my mom said while I simply walked out slowly.

“Bang,bang, bang” a light knock landed on our main door, I rushed to the parlour and unbolted it. To my surprise, it was Cynthia, Akpan and Joy standing before me.

Me:”Oh, my God, please do come in ” I said as I made way for them to enter.

Cynthia:[/b]” Gabriel, Gabriel, so at last, love kill you ” she said as she walked to her room, I simply smiled.


Akpan:” Gabi, you never told us you live in a paradise ” he said as he fell into a couch dropping his bag on the floor.


Me:”Thanks man ” I replied him as I went to get them water from the fridge. I brought it alongside a pack of orange fruit juice and two glass cups.


Me:”Joy, what happened? Why is your eyes red?” I asked, almost immediately tears started to drop from her eyes again.


Akpan:”Oh joy, I told you not to cry when we get here ” akpan said patting her on her back.

Joy:”Gabi, am really sorry for all I….”

Me:”Oh God, Joy you did nothing wrong ” I said while she nodded.

Joy:”Thanks for defending me today ” she added while I simply nodded.

Akpan:”Gabriel, I hope your parents are not so mad at you?” Akpan asked.

Me:”My mom isn’t, but my dad won’t believe….”

Dad: “Why will I believe you when I know the kind of boy you are?” He asked coming into the parlour. “Good evening sir” Akpan and Joy greeted in union.

Dad:”Good evening my children, how are you?” He asked them smiling, my mom also came out. “Good evening Ma” they greeted again in union.

Mom:”Ah, joy how are you? And you, how are you too? What is your own name?” She asked turning to Akpan.

Akpan:”Akpan John Ma” he replied smiling.

Mom:”Good, you are welcome.” She said seating down beside my dad.

Dad:”So this is the Joy? Gabriel so even with your eye problem, you can still fish out a beautiful girl? ” he asked while we all bursted into laughter.

Dad:” Now, let me hear from the horse’s mouth, Joy, what really happened? Why is my son suspended? ” he asked while joy narrated everything to him. He listened attentively and finally nodded when she was done.

Dad:”So you mean Gabriel did not beat up any teacher ?” He asked again while joy shaked her head.


Dad:” Then in that case, I will like to visit that school and demand for a good explanation for all this rubbish ” my dad said while I smiled in happiness as I adjusted my glasses, it action time. I know my dad, if you want trouble, he will hive you double.

Mom:”No honey, I think we should just leave them, let’s forget about this one ” my mom said calmly to him while my face dropped, “Mom is too dull mehnn” I thought to myself.

Dad:” No, I think we…”

Mom:” let’s Just leave them dear ” my mom said flinging her long hair around his face and my dad relaxed on the couch nodding his head in agreement. ” Women charm” I thought again.

Dad:” OK dear if you say so. Now listen both of you ” he said turning sharply to myself and Joy.


Dad:” After all this fight, I Dont want you guys to leave each other. This is a sign of a better future ” he said while I adjusted my glasses.

Dad:”Will you just let that glass rest for some second, why are you always adjusting it? ” he asked in a high tone while we all bursted into laughter.

Mom:”Joy please give me your mom number so that we can always communicate with her ” my mom demanded.

Mom:”Honey, do you know her mom happens to be Mrs Alex, Gabriel English teacher at Saint Mark college?” My mom continued

Dad:”Wait, you mean that beautiful fair woman that speaks like a white woman?” My dad inquired while my mom frowned.

Mom:”When last did you tell me am beautiful?” My mom asked still frowning.

Dad:”Why will I tell you that, I can’t lie now” he said again while we all bursted Into laughter again this time my glasses fell which made my dad turn to me and shake his head in pity.


======> Eunice:”So Akpan, you mean you warned Gabriel but he didn’t listen?” She asked. My dad and mom had gone out leaving i, Cynthia, Joy, Eunice, Akpan and Desmond at home.

Akpan:” Yeah I did but he thought I wasn’t on his side” he answered. I pretended not to be listening to what they were saying as I and Joy were busy discussing about something else.

Joy:” Dont worry I will take picture of the notes and send it to you either on WhatsApp or Facebook ” she said holding my hands tight while I simply nodded.

Me:” Make sure you Dont get in trouble o, stay clear and stay safe” I told her while she also nodded.

Eunice:” Gabriel, what made you trust this Charles Guy?” She finally asked as she noticed I wasn’t bothered about her discussion with Akpan.

Me:”it was like I was being compelled by a force to do so.” I replied her, while she shook her head negatively.

Eunice:”But I told you to play that Sandra of a girl so as to avoid all this problems”

Me:”I felt pity for Joy ” I said turning to Joy.

Me:”And moreover, I Dont know how to be a player. That reminds me guys. Akpan does Charles have any girlfriend by name Kemi? He said she was once a student of the school ” I asked him while Akpan turned sharply to me.

Akpan:”Kemi happens to be another victim just like you, she was blackmailed by Charles but unlike you, she was expelled ” he said shocking me, I turned to Joy and she nodded in affirmation. “So Charles played me, Dont worry boy, am coming back.” I thought to myself as I adjusted my glasses.
