EPISODE 3

” Thanks” she whispered in my ear and withdrawn from the hug.
” love WA ti ti” some girls were saying from behind.
Is this really love or pity? I asked myself.
” hope you were not flog ” she asked with concerned well written on her beautiful face.
” Just fill stroke of Cain. is nothing to worry about ” I lied while she gave another hug.
Best!!!!!!!
Best!!!!!!!
I heard my name but who was calling me. Immediately my vision became clear,” Chai It was just imagination ” I said to myself as I saw one of my friend Victor shouting my name from the back sit. I was still standing at the entrance door to our class holding the form the principal gave too me.
” So benita never really huged me. Chai God punished Satan” I curse inwardly.
I walk to my sit and decided not to look at the direction of benita.
” how was the punishment ” benita mocked while her friends giggled like stupid fools.
I didn’t even replied her because I was so clouded with my thought, . I thought about what the principal said about the scholarship exam, Is it really possible for me to scale through, let me just try it and see after all I had nothing to loose I said to my self as I brought out my government test book to read.
Suddenly Mr Emake walked in because we were having government and his our government teacher. …..
I don’t really like him because he do favored girls. The one thing I hate most in my life is favoritism
” best I thought I told you to come ” he asked as he approached me.
” The principal told me to go to my class ” I lied while he gave me a deadly look. And went to the black board to starts his boring teaching.
The topic was no other na political party. Truth be told Mr emaka was very dry just like cray fish everything about him is just dry and boring. His teaching is dry, his face is dry even his clothe is dry. No wonder miss Cynthia turned him to an A. T. M. machine.
About an 1 hour the time keeper rang the bell for school dismissal, while I quickly left the school building and headed home because I am very famished that I could devour a mountain of fufu and egusi soap, Don’t blame me that’s my favorite.
I got home and met my brother in the room sitting like someone that has lost hope on living. I knew from that moment that nothing is in the kitchen.
Because anytime you saw Victor looking dull is because he had not eating.
” what happened, while is your face like this ” I asked with conscience well written on me.
” Hungry dey kill me” he weakly replied.
********Chai poverty na disease, person , go go school with empty Belle come back no c-m see Food chop, this life is not fair*********
I said within me as I dash outside to look for a solution but Little did I know going outside would be more disastrous.
I went to my mother’s shop, I was still putting on my school uniform. As I walked to the direction of her shop I saw Samuel running like a mad man. He ran passed me using the speed of Usain bolt.
” why is he running ” I thought to myself, as I swiftly turned to my left I saw an angry mob running to my direction, I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me what to do. Immediately I took to my heels, even Usain bolt could not be compared to the kind of speed I used.
As I was busy running, I gaze at my back and saw the angry mob running after me, some were shouting ” thief!!!!!!!!!!
I quickly increase my speed, I ran to an uncomplicated building which I quickly hide myself with a pounding heart.
They all ran pass me, I saw them as they moved.
I quickly came out to looked if they were still there, I met one of them .
” he is here!!!!!! .” he scream like a mad man while the rest of his members came to my direction.
They hit me with different kind of fist that I collapsed on the floor. So many thoughts began to flood their way through my mind,.
“what did I do wrong” I asked myself. They didn’t stop by now I had received 57 slap and 99 punches from an angry mob.
” He is not the one ” a man from behind bark while the angry mob stopped.
” he is not the one, he just wore the same uniform with the guy that stoled my money from my shop. The guy is fair and shot, he is not the one I am very sure ” he calmly explained.
While I became so angry that I almost strangled the man in front of me, if not for the help of some people I would have strangled him to death.
” we are so sorry “a middle age man apologize while I gave him a murderous look that he shiver in fear and moved back ward.
” Please we are so sorry please do accept this 5000 naira to go treat yourself ” A well dressed man among them said as he handed me the money.
I starred at the money with a lustful desire. I collected it and hiss.
I left them, I was so angry” I just received beating from unknown fellow, what if the man didn’t recognize the thief, they would have just beat me to death or even set me ablaze ” Chai Nigeria with jungle justice.
Please let me used the medium to advice the people that do carry out this barbaric act called jungle justice .
