*** The Story That Has Never Been Told! *** Episode 9 ;) I never blinked an eyelid all through the night as my mind kept racing and pacing over many thoughts. I kept weighing through options like ‘what if this girl declines to my offer?’, ‘what if she responds to my offer with a slap?’, ‘what if she goes ahead to broadcast this secret mission to the whole students?’, ‘what if she reports me to the school authority?’ I was so buried in thoughts that I never knew when morning came. It was the amplified voice of a preacher on her ‘morning cry’ evangelism that brought me back to reality as I quickly flashed my torch on our wall clock. ’5:30am! Chei, the time don dey reach o,’ I shouted. With heavy eyes from a sleepless night I rose up and walked straight to the toilet where I eased myself before making my way back into my room. ‘I.G Spain, are you still sleeping? It’s morning already come over to the parlour so we can have our morning devotion,’ mum called out to me. I sluggishly dragged myself to the parlour where I met my mum already in her usual spiritual posture while I used the corner of my eyes to give signal to my dad who visibly looked uninterested and unwilling with the early morning religious gathering but could not back-out since he was supposed to lead by example as the head of the family. My dad equally returned my wink with a quick jestful nod which I recognized to vocally translated to ‘dude, better package yourself before holy mama gets angry.’ I smiled before kneeling down when I saw how ignorant my mum was on what had transpired right in her face. Soon it was time to leave for school, I had taken my bath, ate and wore my school uniform when I remembered that I had given my belt to one ‘shoe- maker’ in the neighbourhood to help create extra two holes on the belt for me. I ran to his shop but was shocked to see it locked. ‘Chei, this can’t happen to me atleast not today. Ewoo, how will I look like before this girl without a belt on? Today of all days!’ I cried with both hands now on my head. I was already running out of time, so I decided to leave my fate in the hands of time. Only time will tell. I came to school and went straight to my locker where I sat down, bent over and continued wallowing. I was unreasonably startled when someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned to see Mike grinning like the donkey character in the movie Shrek. ‘Guy, I’ve just asked Ugochi to help me tell her friend that you wish to have a word with her after school today. So you better be ready cuz everything is set,’ Mike said with this look on his face that made me think he is actually an idi.ot at that moment. *Can’t you see am having a bad day already? If I slap you now people will say am not a good person* ‘Ok bro, thank you,’ was the only thing I could force out of my lips. ‘Don’t mention. What are friends for?’ Mike asked rhetorically as he waltzed out of the class in an annoyingly happy mood. With the sounding of each lesson’s bell I was reminded of what is to come by 2pm which is the official dismissal time of the school. My heart would always skip whenever the huge bell makes that ‘gbon gbon’ sound signaling the beginning or the end of a lesson ‘period’ while I would curse under my breath for getting myself in this mess. Whatever that was taught that day made absolutely no sense to me. What’s the need of food to a dead man? My buttocks was glued to my sit all through the day even during break period. Soon it was five minutes to dismissal and I began arranging myself in preparation for my first wooing challenge. I must say I even contemplated running away immediately the last bell rang but I gathered myself and braved up. I kept arranging and rearranging my books as a delay tactics thinking she would leave immediately school dismissed atleast I would tell Mike she left without seeing me. A good excuse that would keep my self esteem intact. I was still in my delay tactics when I sensed human movement around me and I turned. Lo and behold, there stood this girl right in front of me. ‘Hi, Ugochi told me you wanted to see me after school. Here am i now,’ she said with an emotionLESS face and instantly my brain froze.
