Secondary - Season 2 - Episode 3

☆☆☆☆☆

Joy and Akpan left finally made to go while I saw them off to my gate. I came into my room some minute later and la!d down flat on my bed. I thought so much about my few days in school and all the problems I had faced. I didn’t know what crime it was to love, is love something bad? In my thought I slept off and went to dream land, I can’t remember what I dreamt about. I woke up around 8pm and decided to log into Facebook. At least if I can’t see Joy physically, I can see her online. I checked the active friends, and luckily for me Joy was online. I adjusted my glasses as I sent a message to her.

Me:” hy dear”


Joy:” Hey my guy, how you doing?”


Me:” Am fine now”.


Joy:”I just told my mom about what happened today ”


Me:” Hmm, you know what baffles me?”


Joy:” What?”


Me:” The way our parent support us. Its incredible. ”

Joy:” its got me surprised too o, maybe its the lord’s doing.”

Me:”Lord’s doing?? Then that means God supports us too”I replied her smiling.

Joy:”lol, my guy am coming, let me go check what am cooking so it won’t get burned”

Me:” OK be fast o ”

Joy:” if I Dont meet you when I come back ehnnn”.

Me:” what will you do?” I asked but she didnt reply which signified she is already gone. I stood up from the bed and walked to the toilet to pee, I was just walking pass my mom’s room when I heard her talking in low tone with my dad.


Mom:” Are you sure we are doing the right thing ? Are you sure we aren’t being unsecured by allowing them date themselves?” She asked while I adjusted more closely to their door and placed my ear on it.


Dad:” No, nothing will happening, remember what the reverend father said, that we shouldn’t deprive him of any girl else he will return to his former self ” he replied while I smiled and adjusted my glasses.


Dad:” Also remember it took series of prayers from you and the priest to make him like this and now you are being worried. My dear this is a good thing to us.” He continued.


Mom:” But I won’t want the girl in trouble dear ”


Dad:” I know Gabriel, he will protect her. If he starts, am sure the whole school won’t hold him. ” he said as he laughed a little.

Mom:” please Dont pray he start with that his notorious style of life. ” my mom said while my dad laughed out loud this time.


Dad:” Dont worry dear he won’t, he is now a changed guy. ”


Mom:” I pray so.” She said again and that was the end of their discussion. I smiled as I walked to the toilet. So this people actually went to a priest just because I refused to associate myself with girls ” hmm parents can worry over nothing.” I thought to myself.

I finished from the toilet and went back to my room. I picked my phone and continued with my chatting. Joy had already sent me four messages.


Joy:” see your head, so you went away. Get ready to face my wrath.” Was the first message.


Joy:” you aren’t still back?” Was the second.

Joy:” Gabrieeel” was the third.


Joy:” I hate this guy ” was the last which came in about a minute ago.


Me:” and I love this girl ” I replied smiling.

Joy:” Big head, where were you?”


Me:” I went to London to see the Queen ” I replied her.


Me:” So what were you cooking?” I asked her.

Joy:” You haven’t answered my question, where were you?”


Me:” I went to urinate ”


Joy:” I was cooking guess”

Me:” What type of food is guess? I haven’t tested that before ”

Joy:” oh my God, what kind of a guy is this, I meant you should guess what I was cooking”


Me:” okkkk, now I get, rice, beans, yam, any of the three.”


Joy:” wizard, I was actually cooking beans ” she replied.


Me:”You see, I know. ”


Joy:” Gabriel, Dont you do sport?”


Me:” I Dont get.”


Joy:” You Dont wait for football training after school, why?”


Me:” Am new in the school now, Dont worry I will join after my suspension.”


Joy:” so you can actually play ball?”


Me:” Yeah I can play ball, I can goal keep, I also play tennis. ”


Joy:” jack of all trade, which one do you do best?”


Me:” I can play ball”


Joy:” ok , as for me I play tennis”


Me:” wooow, at least you can do something”

Joy:” Thunder fire you.”


Me:” Joy do you know I will still have to wash the school toilet after my suspension?”


Joy:” No, I can’t allow you do that.”


Me:” But sorry am doing it”


Joy:” No!!! I will help you”


Me:” And I won’t allow you do that also”

Joy:” Shut up am doing it for you and you can’t stop me”

Me:” watch and see”


Joy:”Dont try me o”


Me:” OK ma. But you see I still wonder why Akpan did not disclose Charles to me”.


Joy:” but he said he warned you now”


Me:”. Yeah he did but he never told me it was Charles”

Joy:” that could put him in trouble also dear”

Me:” hmm maybe ”


Joy:” That reminds me Gabriel, my mom told me you do scare girls away back then in her school”


Me:” Yeah, but that was then”


Joy:” Why should you scare them away, are they not humans?”


Me:” Abeg leave that one. That Charles will regret all this I promise”


Joy:” see guy just leave him alone o, Dont put yourself in trouble again o, am even wondering how I will stay next week without you”


Me:” No need to worry, my spirit is with thee”

====>That was just one of the numerous chats we had during my suspension. Joy was kind enough to send me all the notes via WhatsApp and she also visited me again. I did not useless my stay at home as I engaged in reading my books and also helping Eunice in doing some house chores. I always asked for update from Cynthia as toy surprise there wasn’t any new news. Finally my suspension came to an end and I prepared to go back to school the next week. It was now three weeks after I resumed. I woke up early that Monday, rushed to greet my mom in the kitchen and headed to the bathroom for my bath. I finished bathing and went into my room to dress up as usual I completed it by putting on my ever unstable glasses. I didn’t wait for my sister as I took my money from my mom, ate my food and walked to school. I reached the school after about 15 minute walk, the first thing my eye caught was the Camry car that was just coming into the school. To my surprise, Sandra was one coming out from it. I smiled to her and continued my walk into the school compound. I walked slowly into my class and it was already half filled. Joy, Charles and Akpan were already there with some students.


Joy:” oh my God, Gabriel” she shouted as she came and jumped on me not knowing when she did it.


Akpan:” Welcome back bro” he greeted while I also hugged him.


Me:” Thanks man, Joy you almost fell me down o” I said while she just laughed.


Joy:” Have missed you dear”


Me:” Dont say that here because you can’t tell which of them is with an audio recorder.” I said while Charles turned to me sharply. He had been pretending he did not see me all this while. He touched his specks while I adjusted my glasses as our eyes met.
