Donigspain - S01 E14

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 14

We held each other for a few

minutes before we finally

disengaged when it was obvious

none of us had the courage to

move for a kiss. We walked

around the school field which

was already bubbling with

activities while the DJ continued

entertaining the students with

the tracks making waves at that

time.

Nkeiru and I were still parading

like newly wedded couple when

we bumped into Mike who,

apparently, had been having fun

judging from the way he walked

to the rhythm of the music.

”Hmmm, these two lovers can’t

just leave each other for a

minute. By the way, Spain, where

have you been all these while?”

Mike asked while taking Nkeiru’s

hand.

”My bro, I’ve been around sha.

I’ve also searched for you earlier

today,” I replied him.

”Nkybaby, you’re really looking

‘take-away’ as if you just landed

from Europe,” Mike playfully

joked or should I say flattered

while Nkeiru chuckled.

Just then a house-mate came and

informed me that I was urgently

needed by the house mistress so

that I can come and represent

the house in the inter-house

sprints to which I obliged

immediately. I left Nkeiru in

Mike’s hands without having any

negative thoughts as I really did

saw him as a brother than a

friend. This later became my

greatest undoing.

Soon I was done with the tracks

and I hurriedly left the team in

search of my beloved. It was

while on the search that I was

confronted by a group of ‘bad

boys’ who waylaid me. They

were my classmates but not in

the class grouping (A, B, C et al).

”So you are the Spain everyone is

talking about? So you’re the boy

that made Nkeiru to reject me?”

the tallest of them all who I also

reasoned to be the leader finally

spoke out.

”Yes, is there any problem?”I

replied them amidst shaky heart

though not visibly manifested.

One of the boys drew near to me

and tried dipping his hand inside

my pocket but I cautiously

pushed him back while giving

him a stern warning not to try

such act again. He charged up at

me but the leader stopped him

before he could get to me. By this

time, my eyes were already

bloodshot and my legs ready to

take off. Surprisingly, their leader

patted me on the shoulder as he

said ”dis guy get moral o… Abeg

make we leave am. Na him type

we need sef.” Then turning to

me, he continued ”guy, just carry

go. Enjoy ur babe.”

With those words he signalled

the other boys and they left.

Hmmm, I thanked my stars for

the peaceful resolution and then

continued my search for Mike

and Nkeiru.

I later saw them at a restaurant

just opposite the school gate. On

their table were two bottles of

Maltina and two plates of moi-

moi (the ones with egg).

My sudden emergence seemed to

have interrupted their discussion

as there was a brief silence

before Mike finally asked if I had

finished with my ‘House’

activities. Nkeiru on the other

hand just sat there as if she did

not notice my presence.
