Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 65
Flashback two years ago when
Anita was still in her SS1 and I
was then a young new teacher
who just got employed to help
teach a group of mixed students,
some with raging hormones. I
was the youngest of all the staff
working in the school at that
time and so attracted lots of
attention from the students
especially the females who never
hid their fondness towards me. It
was at this time that Anita tried
on many occasions and using
diverse feminine strategies to get
me into having an affair with her
as it was an unprofessional norm
then to find a teacher and a
student involved in a romantic
relationship. Anita was not all
that physically beautiful. She had
a tomboy physical structure,
average in height though she
possessed an attractive dark
complexion with a killing combo
of a hypnotizing gap tooth which
is usually exposed when she
parts her cheek in that seductive
smile of hers. Another special
attribute of hers which I admire
was her doggedness and
determination to always get
what she wants. It was this
salient trait that got her the
nickname ‘Iron Lady’ amongst
the students.
.
At a point I nearly yielded to her
demands. Okay, let’s say my heart
was a bit taken. Ermm, maybe a
chunk. She had this unusual way
of materializing whenever I was
having a rest during my subjects’
free periods. I hardly stayed in
the staffroom then due to the
bad plan of the building which
resulted to a poor ventilation of
the staffroom and considering
my body’s hairy nature which
annoyingly promoted sweating.
So I would normally take my sit
to a cool secluded corner
whenever I had less work open
my table. It was in these
situations that I would find Anita
uninvitingly standing beside me.
She would ask how I am and
why I always chose to sit alone
just to strike up a conversation.
From there she would deviate
into more personal issues
especially those relating to
relationships. At one time she
braved up and asked who my
lover was amongst the female
students but when I told her I
had none and was not interested
she preached how almost all the
teachers had at least one or two
for themselves including
Darlington. It was an error on my
part to have given her such
listening ear and conversing lips.
I was supposed to have rebuked
her on noticing her ill intent as it
was unprofessional for a teacher
to discuss such issues with a
student especially when it
travelled on an immoral
wavelength. I was young,
immature and inexperienced at
that time. It was my first time of
working in an official setting and
more importantly that which
brought me face to face with
naïve young females who would
stop at nothing to satisfy their
curiosity as well as calm the
turbulent biological cravings
which often come with puberty.
.
Gradually, my heart began
drifting towards her line of
speech and writings. Yes, she
wrote me a couple of letters
expressing her interest to having
me as her teacher-lover.
I always
requested for the letters hoping
to use it someday as an alibi
peradventure the rainy came
upon me. It once served to be a
substantial evidence when I had
some fallout with another
student as I had written in
previous episodes. Even though I
saw my heart slowly becoming
fond of her I still tried very much
to see I did not openly declare it
to her through my actions. I
managed to keep the feelings
hidden and bottled up. The only
evidence noticeable enough to a
discerning eye of my gradual
drift would be that I gave her
more ear-time. Nonetheless, my
silent ‘affair’ with her was short-
lived as it took me little time to
regain my sanity. She did called
me at times even after I left their
school and she never said
anything close to knowing
suggesting her having a
knowledge of my relationship
with her friend Ifeoma.
.
So when she caught Ifeoma and
I discussing, I instantly knew
many thoughts would be
running through her mind
especially that of jealousy. It will
only grow worse when she finds
out that we are dating. Knowing
who Anita was and what she can
do I won’t be surprised if she
declares war on my innocent
Ifeoma. True to my fears, she did
declared war on Ifeoma. A war
which was fought almost in all
the planetary realms – physical,
spiritual etc. Anita stood a
distance with hands akimbo
watching as Ifeoma and I
discussed. When we finished and
I was about to go Anita drew
close and held my hand. I could
clearly see envy and jealosy in
those eyes of hers. She managed
to inquire of my schooling. She
complained of my forgetting her
which manifested in my not
informing her of my visit to Aba.
We spoke for a few minutes
before we dispersed. I left the
school a few minutes before
2pm. I got a call fom Emma who
said he was waiting me in our
house. It was time to hear his
own side of the story on how he
spent the night with the other
prostitute.
