School Love - S01 E07

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7

Agba called me but i didnt answer, i was so exhausted and tired, i just went straight to the class. Throughout the remaining day i was not okay, that was the first time i would be punished for an offence caused by that idiot that call himself Agba. I vowed i would still beat him before i leave that school. The bell was rung for emergency, i guess either the v.p or the ,principal wanted to give a talk called 5minutes talk.

Soon after we were gathered the principal came and just told us we were going to have our first interhouse sport next term and we needed to start preparing for it from now. We were showed the vest for the interhouse sport and to be sincere, the cloth was awesome. Everybody both those participating and those that aren’t bought the cloth on that day. Things went well till the day of the interhouse-sport. We trained every tuesdays and fridays because there was no time and first term was already rounding up. Soon we wrote the first term exam and went for our holiday of 2 weeks. 2 weeks passed and we resumed for the second term. We didnt train again because the interhouse sport was just 2 weeks away from the day of our resumption. I was still keeping an eye on Damilola since when she reported me to her favourite master. I just hate the man and he hates me too but i was sruprised he didnt do anything after the report or maybe he had another thing in mind to do to me. I didnt know what she would do next so i had to keep a close eye on her, and i gathered that she reported me to some cultist in another school and they were coming for me on the day of the interhouse sport. But it didnt move me at all. Damilola didnt know what she turned me into: A fearless guy.

On the day of the interhouse sport, as some students were running to their different houses, i turned to see five guys from another school, they look like cultist because they had the characteristics; big eyeball, red eyes, so on. I just taught it would be an opportunity coz before Damilola cultist would come, I have make friends with this one, they will protect me or fight on my behalf. So i went to them and greeted them. I didnt know those were the cultist Damilola reported me to.

“Good afternon sir” they created me to my surprise.

“Good afternoon, how are you doing na?” I responded boldly.

“I’m fine sir. My name na Charles and meet my boys: Spider, Snake, Scorpion” he pointed at them one after the other and i shook them one by one (wetin i go do, na Damilola sha cause this thing).. We talked and talked till they bade me farewell that they were looking for someone to finish off. After they left i just started smiling, i didnt know why but i just kept smilling at no one in paregular. Sooner did I start laughing until I felt a hand tap my back. I looked back and saw Agba. Immediately, i became ready for him and there was nothing to loose at that time.

“Joseph are you mad? You think is anybody you see you will be greeting or talking to, if they beat you or they kill you nko abi dont you see they are cultist”

“And what happen, or what is your concern. Are you the one that I greeted or talked to, ehen?”

“Joseph” he called in a loud tone “if those boys kill you isn’t that pure waste of life? Those are the guys Dami sent to deal with you”

I didnt want to listen to what he was saying because i was boiling in anger then I pushed him off,

“You think this is the one you did in the classroom, i will beat you into 3 and nothing will happen”

He want to say something, i raised my hand to slap him,

” Joseph stop stop…” was the next thing I heard from behind. I looked back and it was Damilola. “Joseph, please dont fight, you might get arrested and it will surely damage your reputation please” she added.

I don’t know why but her words calmed me down, maybe it was because of what she said, no but she was right, if i had faught with this nonentity, it would surely damage my reputation. i just left him there and went to sit down with my house mates. Soon, the interhouse sport ended and i went home and replayed the event of that day in my memory. After that incident, Agba and I never crossed each other again and he never challenged me again since i had showed him part of what am made of. I focused on my books and forgot about Damilola, i didnt even care if someone like her exist because i tried to help her be a good person but she disn’t want to change. Her lifestyle became flirting with boys. I still remember when my friend, Seyi, and i followed her to Fadugbaa, her boyfriend’s house without her knowledge. She didnt know her friend had a lousy mouth as she told my Seyi that Damilola laid on the guy’s bed, they kissed and were romancing on the bed. It got me furious, how would she let herself go, i mean too cheap to be kissing and romancing a guy on his bed, in his room while she supposed to be at home at that time of the day. I just left her to live her life the way she wants and focused on my studies.

Problem started again when we were about to write our senior waec (ssce). Agba and some of my classmates came to meet me that one of our teachers, Adeniji, said we should contribute 200 naira each malpractice.

“I told you guys that am not in support of such act, therefore, I’m not paying any money for any thing. What is so hard in the exam that you want to waste 200 naira. Teachers have told us to read and not to wait for manners, why then this? I have said it that my own set would not pay any money for malpractice and I’m dissappointed that you guys could bring the matter up again. I would advice you to read your books that’s why we were told to buy past questions on the previous exam written because they usually repeat questions. If you want to pay, pay i won’t stop you but i would only tell you my mind thats all” With that, i left them and we never spoke on that topic again. I don’t know if they paid behind my back, i didnt care but i was suprised Mr Adeniji conducted the exam malpractice …
