MY LIFE IN HILTON HIGH SCHOOL

EPISODE 7

I was dumbfounded and perplexed at the same time.
“Should I agree to her proposal. ” I thought to myself as she stared at me with great anticipation waiting for me to concede to her request .

I was entangled that I don’t know the answer to give her.
” i can’t just leave to Hilton high school, just like that. will I even find true love there. Benita who I had dreamed of is now in love with me, and i will just let it slip away from my hand ” I thought to myself.

” But will I not be seen as a fool, by conceding to Benita’s request and abandoning my dream school. What will the principal and my fellow students thought of me, even my mother, she never wanted me to attend government owned school but due to financial problem I found myself here but now that I was given an opportunity to go to the biggest school and best in Nigeria, I will just let it slip away from my hands because of some stupid love or rather infatuation Even the ancestors will inflated there angers upon for conceding to her request . ” I had a second thoughts.

I was so clouded with my thoughts that I forget Benita was still with me.

” So what do you say ” she asked as she smile flashing her dimple.

” Benita I love you more than you can ever imagined , but what you are asking me to do is impossible, ” I replied nonchalantly while while she breathed heavily.

” Is okay, I won’t stop you from your future, but I wants us to meet tomorrow because that might be the last time we would be seeing, ” she said almost in tears.

” Okay but won’t you be going to school ” I muttered calmly.

” No I would not,” she replied. I could see tears dropping on her beautiful cheek , so I quickly used my hands to wiped her tears.

” Thanks ” she breathed calmly . I felt like kissing her pink lips, I stared into her eyes, all I could see was true love. ” who asked me to write this scholarship exam now ” I was blaming myself.

About 3 hours later the time rang the bell for school dismissal, while I quickly arrange my books and put it on my bag, I went to meet my close friends and told them this was my last day in school, most of them wish be luck.
I walked home with great excitement in me, I kind of envisaged how life in Hilton would looked like. Me being a poor boy among those rich kids, I hope they would not try oppressed me with their money. I thought to myself as I headed home.

When I got home, I was smiling like someone that just won naira bet. My mum was already at home , so I quickly greeted her

” Why are you smiling like this ” My mum asked suspiciously for my usually behavior.
.
” I was just giving a scholarship to Hilton high school” I almost scream in excitement . While Amaka and Victor quickly came out.

“What’s Hilton high school “my mum asked sounding confused
” mummy that school that they always shows on television, that is very big ” Amaka quickly explained to her while my mum nodded in acknowledgment.

She quickly embrace me.

” So when will you be starting the school ” she asked after she had withdrawn from the hug.

” Next tomorrow ” I calmly replied.

” So quick, you have to start preparing Now. ” she urge

“Okay ma, I replied, as I heeded to the room, to start arranging my clothes, I was very happy because going to Hilton high school was a dream come true as everybody would say.

After I was done, I quickly went to snap passport because it was required in the forms after that I filled the form, putting the required details. After I was done, I drafted to a dreamless slumber that I woke up the next day around 10am,… I didn’t really care cus I would not be going to school. ” Benita would be here soon ” I thought to myself as I headed to the bathroom to take my bath, about 10 minutes later I was done, I sat down in the room waiting patiently for her arrival. Few minutes later I heard a nock on the door. I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me that will definitely be Benita, Luckily for me I was the Only one at home.

Immediately I opened the door, I saw Benita smiling flashing her open teeth, I was like” wow” because she was looking more beautiful in her red grown why her killing point and massive curve were very visible.

I let her in while she sat on the bed smiling. ” So what can I get you” I asked her as I sat opposite her.

” Anything ” she replied with a smile, while i went to the fridge and brought out the malt I bought for her. I quickly opened it and place it on the table in front of her.” Thanks ” she replied.

” So how are you doing ” I asked trying to engage her on a discussion.

” Not too good ” she replied sadly.

” Why what happened ” I asked with concerned well written on me.

” I can say I am happy about you leaving our school and going to Hilton high school, I don’t know how I will cope without you and I am missing you already ” she explained .

” Benita, don’t worry, it’s not for ever, I will surely come back and we will be reunited once again ” I replied caressing her palm while she breathed heavily.

” If you say so, but I want you to make love too me, let it be the bond that will seal our relationship, ” she said surprising me with her words, I stared her but all I could see was great sincerity well written on her amiable face.

Should I concede to her request? I asked myself as I dazzled in my realm of thoughts .
