School Love - S01 E06

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 6

WRITTEN BY KOMOLAFE JOSEPH.

I immediately started my work as the class captain and things were going fine, I and Damilola stated dodging each other, we never passed the same lane. I was sitting down in the class reading my book when Latifat, my classmate, came to me to help her solve a math question. I told her to write it as a letter so we would be doing the question and answer in the letter, little did i know i just created a problem. If i knew i would have just solve the question for her and let her go. She wrote the letter and put it in one of my note and gave it to me. Understanding the code, i quickly opened my book in a hidden way so as other students would not undrstand what i was doing. I took the letter fast and read thus: Joseph, i know it because of damilola you don’t want to teach me where you would be seen by her. But its none of my concern just please help me solve this maths, its about changing the subject, help me make x the subject of the formular in this; xy=a

I did’nt have time for all what she wrote, i just wanted to explain the maths for her so she would leave my life. Therefore I guickly solved it and replied the workings to her, i thought i was free but that’s when it started. She sent another letter through samuel one of our classmate because damilola knew that we were writing to each other and we had to stop using our old system of putting the letter in our notes because we were almost busteed by badru and i know that dami targeted us and asked him to come borrow that particular note from me but with my sense and intellgience i quickly removed the letter from my book and tucked it into my pocket when he looked back. He took the note and left for his master, i could see the anger in her face that i was just to smart than the boy for removing the letter from the book under is watch. I took the letter, solved the maths and replied Latifat. What we were doing is not what we should hide but i just did so because of Damilola. She was always stalking and looking for any single mistake or opportunity to blow my name in my face and i wouldn’t want that to happen, since i reported her to the teachers while we were in SS1 that she said when she and Toheeb get married, he would be washing her underwear. Therefore she was already planning marriage for the both of them, with that and my determination to make her pay for her sins i reported her to almost all the teachers, the other teachers were aware about it and she was asked to call her mum to the school. I remembered as the memory flashed back to me how she cried 5 like a helpless begger, i kind of felt guilty as i lknew it was because of me she got herself into this mess but she was the one that allowed anger to take over her emotions, thavs why i always take precaution. Because due to those things she wants to get back at me with, Which i wouldn’t want. Later on i discovered that some letters i wrote to latifat were missing in mx bag, including the book we use to pass the letters. I knew damilola had a hand in it, and i dont know her motive for taking the letter a so i just pretended as if nothing happened at all.

One day after coming out from the staff room, i saw damilola, Latifat, Agba and her other friends talking to Latifat. I wanted to join and know what they were talking about because i already knew what they were saying. I could see their faces as they wanted me to be there but i shook the idea off and went into my classroom. While i was in my class, students in the other class came and told me that they were discussing that were in a relationship and they are going to report. Seriously, what they said just pissed me off, l felt like beating Agba, but this boy want me to break the record that i would not fight ln the school. I stood up and went to the other class and i met them talking. ”

“Agba, if you try what you did again i would beat you, i would beat you and nothing would happen. You think as am gentle i don’t know what am doing abi, you just try me and you’ll see what i will do to you” I was ready for him and if he had tried or did anything stupid, I would beat a hell out of him.

“Joseph or what are they calling you se o shi ere ni abi nnkan se e, wo ma nno e ju. (are you mad abi something set do you. See i would beat you very well)”

It seem he has been waiting for me to come, he went straight and took an aluminium rod to hit me. As students were preventing us from hiting each other, i saw a little chance and as i raised my hand to punch him i felt something held my hands i looked back and saw my maths teacher (i don die). He first gave us a powerful knock on the head before dragging us out of the class to his office, i thank god in my mind that he didnt take us to the staff room or else i would have been dead by now, maybe he knew i dont fight and he wanted to know the cause of the fight. Immediately he got to his office, he asked us to kneel down and started asking questions.

“Now why were you guys fighting in the class?”

” Sir we did not fight” i answered sharply”

“So you are saying that i cannot see, eh joseph”

“No sir”

“No what, thats what you meant” “Am sorry sir”

“Sorry for yourself” He turned to Agba and asked him what was the cause of our fight, he quickly explained everything to him as if he was Latifat. I was not my self there, i was just cooking the lie i would dish for my master. His voice just brought me back. “Joseph, what happened that you guys almost faught”

“Sir, someone came to tell me that they are saying the would report me, that am dating my classmate Latifat which is not true. They have been talking about this thing for long and i didnt do anything, but today i was pissed off and i went to warn him not to try such again, thats o when he went to take an allumhnion rod to hit me in the class before you entered” I explained.

He told us to bring cutlass which we did. We cut and cut till the bell jingled for the break before we were released..
