“Gbang, Gbang, Gbang,”
“ohhhhhh , I’m so tired of boarding house, so someone cannot get a decent sleep again”
I checked my watch which was on top my pillow, it was 4am at the dot. These seniors shaaa, don’t they even get tired, I got up from my bed reluctantly, tied my towel, took my bucket and my soap dish and headed for the bathroom, I didn’t want to get flogged this early morning.
I went downstairs to the general bathroom, it was already crowded, but i managed to squeeze myself to one corner, I had not even started bathing when I heard senior Esther’s voice, ” junior girls, twenty counts and you’re out of here 1,2,3………”
Come and see speed, everyone hurried of of the bathroom immediately to do their designated duty, That was the main thing I hated about boarding, how can somebody just finish bathing and then go to wash toilet? Mtcheeeeew, I thanked God again that the seniors haven’t put my name in that duty for once. My job was to swep the hostel hall, together with my best friend Anita, but she had gone home last weekend, so the job was left to me, I did it gladly, to me it was one hundred times better than washing the toilet.
After doing my *work* I headed straight to my school mother’s corner to take my uniform, I know she must have ironed them, what a lovely school mum I had, sometimes I wished she was my sister.
Properly dressed in my uniforms I ran to the dinning hall, it was a Monday morning and everything had to be hurried because there were a lot of activities at the assembly ground and we still had to make it to class at 8am.
I spotted my friend already on the line at the assembly and I ran straight to her. “Nitty, I missed you” I hugged her. “I missed you too and I brought something for you, you will see it after the assembly” I smiled, I really loved my friend, she were like inseparable twins. We were still chatting when the principal walked in and the whole place went quite.
After the assembly we hurried into the class, I couldn’t wait to see the surprise she had for me, “Nitty oya show me the thing now” “you sef, your blood too hot.” She handed me something in a white nylon wrapped in foil papers. “Is this what am thinking” I asked her anticipating for the best “open an first nau, u too ask” Shawarma! I screamed excitedly. “Ohh my God! Thank you, I can’t believe it!!”
“Well I and nick went on a date yesterday at Genesis knowing how much you love it I asked him to get it for you. I microwaved it this morning” ” oh how nice of him, he’s such a good guy, and I know he got other things too” I said winking at her. “Yeah, he bought me provisions, and this” she showed me an envelope and I peeped inside to see #1,000 notes inside, “have you counted it” I asked still amazed, ” #20,000″
“Jesus” I screamed drawing little attention to our desk, “stop shouting, our class mates are staring” I nodded. “Girl you’re lucky ooooh,” ” lucky my dear, is an understatement, what will I have done without Nick, I’m madly in love with him.”
She sounded excited, why wouldn’t she be? having a rich boyfriend who just gained admission into the university. They’ve been dating since she was in Jss3 and he normally visits her during our visiting day in school, that’s how I got to know him. He’s a very handsome guy I must confess and I know he loves my friend, at least For him to still show her attention after getting admission into uni proves that, I heard that university girls are hot and they don’t let rich and handsome guys rich Nick slip through their fingers. I just hope for the best because I don’t want my friend to get hurt just like myself. Oh yes myself. I know what it feels like to be heartbroken, at sixteen and in ss2 I was going through pain that had just been inflicted on my heart by someone I adored, my night and shinning amor. I actually caught him in the act about 3 weeks ago, during our last mid-term break.
I payed him a surprise visit at his house with his favorite food(Egusi soup and fufu).
Getting to his house I heard moans coming from his room, that was how I caught a girl untop my Eric with him screaming passionately. It was more than I could take, I just dropped the flask on the ground and ran as fast as my legs could carry me, although I heared him call my name, I didn’t turn back, the pains was just too much to bear,
He kept calling my line and even came to my house twice but I refused to see him, I was not ready to listen to any lies he wanted to say.
“Are you okay, u’ve been staring at me for a while” My friend brought me back to reality. “its nothing actually” She held my hands ” u are thinking about him right, Leah I think you should hear him out, he’s very remorseful, he calls me everyday to beg you, he’s even visited the school five times, I think you should forgive him girl, you still love him and its beginning to affect your studies, take a look at your test scripts it was shared just before you came into the class”
I took the papers from her, I couldn’t believe what I saw, 10/30 in maths, 15/30, in chemistry, 10/30 in Biology, I was too devastated to go through the rest, afraid of what I’ll see. Hot tears escaped my eyes, I just hated Eric the more, father was right all,Love only hurts.
