Once again, school was fun. Aliyah was now popular in her faculty. She was loved by everyone. She had also gone for the beauty contest in her school after much pressure by her peers. She got the second position due to her holy dressing. She could have gotten first if she was without extraordinary long wears.

Little by little, the year was coming to an end. Everyone prepared hard. The night crawlers tread carefully. Some avoided going out at night at all.

Raphael and Aliyah continued their brother and sister relationship. Even though Raphael had plans unknown to Aliyah.

Raphael had made several attempts to convince Aliyah to let them go to clubs, bar or parties but Aliyah had refused all his offer. Raphael didn’t bother pestering her anymore so she wouldn’t change her ways towards him. “It’s okay. Just feel like you should have fun” He’d say.

Aliyah would smile and hug him, thanking him for wanting the best for her and not making her feel lonely. “I wish my mom gave birth to you. Then, I’d have two lovely brothers in my life” She would say.

“Aliyah! Get dressed na!” Chioma shouted from outside.

Aliyah came out grinning. She was wearing a tight fitted gown that covered her whole body except her feet. She wasn’t putting on her long hijab buh she covered her hair completely with a scarf.

Dave stared at her lustfully. “She would have been the hottest cake in town if not for her holy holy wears”

“She’s still pretty” Sean said “And hot, if you can see through”

They all laughed except Aliyah who glared at Sean and Dave.

“At least, for the first time, she’s not putting on her hijab” Annie teased as they entered the car.

Aliyah had stared at herself in the mirror several times before coming out. It was a Friday night and she didn’t want to stay alone in the compound. She had no choice than to follow them and Annie had told her, without hijab.

Aliyah kept staring at the rear mirror checking out her new look. She would glance at Annie, Sean and chioma if they caught her staring at the mirror but they were busy with whatever they were saying that she payed little attention to.

Dave parked and got down. Aliyah didn’t get down while others did. She was lost staring at the environment. Everywhere was loud and crowdy. It was her first time coming to a party. Party or club? She wondered.

Annie opened the door, jolting her off her thoughts. “Don’t be scared. No one’s gonna eat you” Annie shouted even though it looks like she was talking silently. The noise was just too much.

Aliyah followed them like a sheep being led to slaughter. The music was calm in here. It was different from the one being played outside the compound.

They sat on the cushioned chair and were discussing. Only Aliyah seemed to be lost. She just looked around. Soon, Dave came to their seat with few people.

Aliyah’s stomach rumbled. She felt the urge to pollute but decided against it. “Annie know how my mess dey smell” She thought.

Dave stood up again and went out. Aliyah wondered where he was going always. Few minutes later, he came in. Just immediately he entered, a guy holding a tray of meat and a guy carrying bottles of beer entered.

Aliyah was feeling uncomfortable now. Her stomach rumbled several times. She guessed it was the beans she ate in the morning.

Everyone were drinking except her while some were dancing. She pulled the tray of meet to herself and started eating. It was pepperish. She looked around if she could get any bottle water buh didn’t see any.

“Dave, can I get pepsi?” Aliyah asked.

Dave laughed before replying her “Yes jjc, like how many?”

“4 will be enough”

“Kuku kill yourself na. Four Pepsi!?” Dave exclaimed.

Dave stood up and went to get it for her. Soon, he returned. He watched her as she gulp it down her throat.

The party continued. Aliyah’s tummy bulged out of her clothes. She had filled it with all the pepsi Dave got her. Without warning, it escaped her anus. Her stomach rumbled with annoyance.

“I have to go. I don’t want to poo on my body o” Aliyah said and dashed out without informing anyone. She got to the main road and stopped a taxi.

She got home in a rush without saying a word to the driver who was ranting as he came down off his car to catch his breath. Aliyah almost suffocate him with her mess.

She quickly pulled off her clothes and went in to the toilet. When she was through, she went in to the bathroom to shower.

Immediately Aliyah left, Annie who was having fun decided to check on her and see how she’s doing. She didn’t see her. She guessed maybe she went to urinate or something. After waiting for a while without seeing her, she went to check the ladies toilet buh she wasn’t there.

“What kind of human being is this one now?” Annie muttered. “At least, she should have told me if she was going somewhere”.

She walked back to where they were. “I can’t find her”

“Call her number” Dave suggested.

Annie went out to a silent corner and dialed Aliyah’s number. She didn’t answer her call. She hissed and tried again. She answered it. “Hello idiot, where you dey?…. And you no fit tell person say you wan comot…your head…hello…hello” Annie dialed her number again. It was switched off. She rushed in to meet Dave.

“Dave, something’s wrong.” Annie said in fear.

“What? What happened?”

“I was talking to her on phone when I suddenly heard something fall, like crash, she also screamed but it wasn’t that audible” Annie explained.

“Are you sure?” Dave asked.

“Yes. I don’t know but she’s not safe”

Dave rushed to where Chioma was. He pulled her. “Where’s Sean?”

“I have no idea where he is. What? What’s happening?” Chioma asked, confused.

“We’ll explain when you get to the car. We’re not yet sure but let’s check” Dave said as they hurried towards the car and he drove off. Annie narrated what Happened.

“Don’t fear, she might be safe, maybe she slipped or something” Dave assured them, increasing the speed.

Annie went in and opened the gate. Dave drove in. Chioma and dave got down waiting for Annie to lock the gate. They knocked but didn’t get an answer. Annie prayed silently that it was one of her prank.

She opened the door and they got in. They all stared at each other as they heard the tap running water. Probably, she was taking her bath or washing.

Dave stared at them and smiled. “Una no get mind at all. No be she dey bathroom dey baff so” He hissed and slumped on the chair, relieved it wasn’t what they were thinking.

Annie didn’t answer. She was furious with the way Aliyah had scared her. She moved towards her bedroom while Chioma followed behind.

Annie and chioma stood agape. Their lips quivered in fear. Their body trembled. Annie was shocked. Her phone fell from her hand as she stared at Aliyah’s half naked body on the floor, blood oozing out of her head.

“Dave!” Chioma screamed in fear.
