Episode 1
The class was noisy with students scattered about, I bowed my head engrossed with my Shakespeare novel when I heard a tap on my back,
âJoan youâre here? havenât you heard? Prisca asked.
âHeard what? I asked confused and heard shouting outside.
Everyone in class got distracted as we rushed out to see my friend in a serious fight.
âJeez! What are those grown ups doing? I asked so surprised.
âI actually wanted to tell you that, Prisca replied and I immediately threw my book and ran there going into their midst.
âEnough! Its enough! I shouted struggling to tear them apart as they still attempted to throw blows.
âEnough! I shouted but got a heavy hit close to my eyes and I stood still.
Right there the fight was put to a halt as everyone concentrated on me.
âJoan are you okay? I heard voices but my head was too heavy.
I was led to sit down amidst the noises going on while my face was attended to,
âGirlfriend are you okay? Favour asked touching me and I looked at her.
âSeriously? Were you really fighting on the field like a junior student? What will the junior ones do when you just showed an example? I asked.
âYou really think I wanted it? What do you take me for? Favour asked.
âYou should have controlled yourself and give a report, look what youâve done now, I said.
âIâm sorry okay, you still look beautiful anyway, Favour said hitting me but that was not funny.
âIâll be back, some teachers want to see me, Favour said getting up beside me.
âAlright, but be careful with your speech okay, I said and she nodded and ran off.
âThereâs no way you wonât have bruises, thatâs the disadvantage of having a light complexion, Prisca said giving me a mirror to look at my face.
âGod, its so bad, what will i tell my mom? I asked.
âsimple, you went into the middle of two elephants fighting, what did you expect? Another replied and i heaved.
âThat was my best friend out there and i was so scared, you donât expect me to watch her without doing anything, I said.
âOh I forgot when I comes to Favour no one has a say, but look sheâs fine and youâre the one with the black eye, who lose? Another student asked.
âIt was an accident, no one wanted this to happen right? Please Iâm having headache already, I replied touching my forehead.
âIts alright, looks like tomorrow youâll be coming to school with a sunshade. Youâre the senior prefect after all, Prisca said and i smiled.
âAnd why? I asked.
âYou look like a punch bag sorry, by tomorrow you will need a sunshade trust me, another replied with a smirking face
âThatâs harsh, Prisca said to her and a teacher approached us.
We greeted him and he saw my face,
âSo its true then, what if you got hit in a bad place? The teacher asked.
âIt was an accident, I replied.
âStill you shouldnât have gone into it, the teacher said.
âThat was my friend sir, I said.
âFavour can take care of herself and you know that, he said.
âTell her for us, the girls around concurred and i bowed my head.
âHas it been treated? The teacher asked.
âYes, we used the first aid, Prisca replied.
âGood, Iâll go get you drugs for pain relief, the teacher said.
âNo sir, I donât take drugs and my mom can handle this, I stopped him.
âAre you sure? He asked and i nodded.
âThen you Better start going home, the teacher said.
âI have to wait for Favour we go home together and she is not back yet, I said and he smiled.
âAlright then, make sure you take care of your eyes okay, he said and left while the girls looked at me quietly.
âWhat? I asked confused.
Prisca wanted replying but I saw Favour coming,
âOh sheâs here, I said cutting Prisca and stood up to meet her.
âHey how did it go? I asked.
âNothing much, they only showed their disappointment thatâs all, Favour replied.
âOkay I thought as much, Iâll be going home now, I said.
âOkay letâs go take our bags, Favour said and we held hands walking back while she teased me about my face.
On the way home Favour picked a call and shouted so excited,
âHey are you serious? Iâll be there tomorrow for sure! She shouted while I smiled wondering who she is talking to.
âOkay expect me tomorrow and I hope you brought something for me? She asked.
âIâll be there tomorrow okay, welcome, she said and dropped the call.
âWhoâs in town? I asked.
âMy cousin o my very favorite, she just landed from Cameroon, Favour replied.
âReally, so youâll be seeing her tomorrow? I asked.
âSure and we are going together, Favour replied.
âWith my face? Oh no, I said.
âWhy nau? Is it not the same face you are using to walk on the road? Please you will escort me o or else I wonât go, Favour said with a frown that made me laughed.
âOkay fine but I wonât stay long okay, I accepted and she smiled crossing her hands on me as she talked more of her cousin.
I got home, and the first thing everyone saw was my eyes.
My mom practically stood up from where she sat to touch my face as I walked in,
âJoan, what is this na? My mom asked turning my face clockwise and anticlockwise.
âMom easy please, it hurts, I said keeping her hands down and sat down.
âWhat do you mean by that? Who did this to you? My mom seriously asked.
âMom it was an accident, I replied.
âAcci what? You got hit by a car? My senior brother asked.
âNo, but got into a fightâŠâŠ.. âWhat! My mom cut in.
âNo let me finish, it wasnât me⊠Like i wasnât fighting I only wanted to separate FavourâŠâŠ. âFavour again? My mom asked interrupting me and I heaved.
âJoan are you counting at all? How many times has this girl put you in the face of danger? My mom asked.
âMom what face of danger are you talking about? Arenât you happy i only have one friend? It wasnât her fault anyway I gat this black eye, I replied.
âBut you went into the fight because of her, my senior bro said.
âI am the school prefect, I am to stop the fight, I said.
âOh tell me about It, did they also have a black eye? Sweetheart if this your prefect of a post will make you lose an eye then to hell with it! My mom shouted and i rolled my eyes.
âMom Iâm seriously having headache, your shouts isnât helping matters here, I said.
âAnd you are not helping matters too, stop going out with that girl! My mom shouted on my face and i closed my eyes and nodded.
âIâll be in my room, I said taking my bag and slowly leftâŠâŠâŠâŠ..
