Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19
It was on a Wednesday, a foggy
morning. I stood at the school’s
main gate, a long cain in my
hand, waiting to punish late
comers. A few students already
knelt down waiting for their turn
to recieve my morning coffee.
Wheeew, wheeew, wheeew… I
lashed on the open palms of the
students a bit cynically. I was so
much engrossed in the present
activity that I never noticed when
someone walked up to me. When
I saw the shadow I thought it
was one of the late comers and
so I raised my hand to hand over
a few cups of my hot coffee to
the owner of the shadow.
Midway into the air I raised my
face to have a proper target of
the palm and that was when my
eyes caught this petite goddess.
She has this oval face, pointed
nose, naturally perfectly
patterned eyebrows, succulent
lips, well nourished ebony skin…
My hand was still in the air not
knowing whether to bring it
down or to instantly wave
‘halelujah’ to the Almighty for
such a wonderful creation.
”Good morning sir, please I want
to see a student in this school. I
have a message from her mother
for her” the girl spoke out and
that was when I nearly collapsed
from the charming effects of this
perfect creation. She has got a
perfect dentition that is
artistically finished with a gap
inbetween the upper and lower
incisors. Her voice sounded so
angelic that I nearly danced to its
unheard rhythm.
”Please sir, is Anita in school?”
she continued.
”Of course, good morning,
Anita… Yes, I think she
dey…mmnn, she is in the class.
Let me send a student to call her
for you” I replied her in a
stuttering voice. She must have
noticed my uneasiness because
she turned around in an attempt
to hold back herself from giving
off an embarrassing laugh. It
was then I had a clearer
assessment of her load. She
parades with this two full
volcanic mountains on her chest.
They stood so firm that one
would mistake them to have
been surgically implanted by a
veteran plastic surgeon. Her
arsenal (behind) gave me more
insight into what my secondary
school geography teacher had
been trying to describe when
she taught us about fold
mountains. Curvy and
protruding; a perfect example of
an over-fold mountain. There and
then I understood the concept.
I asked a student to go and call
Anita out from SS2 class. She
returned with Anita who
shouted and embraced the girl.
They exchanged pleasantries
before they excused themselves
to go and talk over the message
she came to deliver. With an
unsettled mind I asked the
remaining students kneeling
down to go and do a little
sanitary work before going into
their classes as flogging them
will take my attention from
identifying with this creature
from the mythical Shangri-La.
Minutes later, they finished their
discussion and she waved me
goodbye before boarding an
Okada.
”Anita come, is she your sister?”
I interrogated Anita as she made
to walk back into her class.
”No sir, she’s my friend. We stay
in the same street,” Anita replied
jovially.
”Really, why didn’t she go to
school today? I don’t like seeing
young girls roam about the
place” I pressed further in an
attempt to psych her.
”She used to go to school but
she stopped because she said
her teachers in their school were
disturbing her. But now she
wants to join our school. She’ll be
starting on Monday next week,”
Anita exposed.
I nearly jumped up in happiness
when I learnt she’ll be joining
our school. That means I’ll get to
see this angel daily. Oh, if she
only knows what she’s getting
herself into. Running from
wolves and ending up in lions’
den. I can’t wait o!
