Episode 11
:
David stood at the door looking at the four girls who where
staring at him as if he was a stranger. All were in different
dressing; Udoka wore a bumbshort and a singlet-like top. There
was no footwear on her feet. One could see her toe-nails painted
with white cortex. As the eye contact lingered, the other three girls
excused themselves without a word then Udoka who was seating
gradually stood up twisting her fingers. "David?" she called out
feeling her heartbeat. David was the last person she expected to
see but it came to her as a surprise.
"Udoka" David also called out. He moved forward standing before
her. "I still love you and will always do. I've not been myself ever
since you left regardless the
fact that i didn't pick up your calls.
Please, have me back and forget about the consequences it might
converge. I will protect and fight for your love to the last. You
need not to be afraid of anything in as much as you have me
and.."
"David" Udoka interrupted him with a warm hug. She held him
tightly thereby amending her broken heart. Having someone
whom she loved and took away her virginity back was the
happiest moment in her life. Therefore, she said, "I will never leave
u again"
David reciprocated with a smile. "Neither will i?" he said.
However, the three girls brought out their heads through the door
of the room to know what was happening. When they saw David
and Udoka in a hug posture, they smiled happily.
Udoka disengaged front David. She offered him a seat then also
sat beside him. "How's your sister, Ugonma?" she asked.
"She's fine" David replied feeling guilty of not going with her as
they planned. "Listen, i never planned to go home with Sandra,
my mum did"
"Your mum?"
"Yes"
"Is okay" Udoka smiled. She didn't want anything to ruin the
happy moment for her, so she stood up. "Let me get you
something to eat" she began to walk out but David's voice
interrupted the
locomotion.
"She wants to see u"
Udoka turned in amazement. "Who wants to see me? Your
mother?"
"No, my sister. I told her about us" David replied.
"Really?" Udoka smiled broadly. "I can't wait to see her too" she
hurried into the kitchen.

THE NEXT DAY
Trust sat in front of his apartment eating bread and water.
Suddenly, the compound gate slammed open forcefully. He
turned to see Sunday with his 'Ghana Must Go' running towards
him, then he also ran into the room with the fear of the unknown.
But he finally came out making sure the bread wasn't
with him again.
"Sunny, watin dey pursue u?" Trust asked with pigin English.
"Guy, hunger is pursuing me" Sunday pulled down his bag on
one of the stairs.
"How?"
"Hunger wants to kill me in the village"
"I thought you went to look for
diamonds"
"Dia what?!"
"Dia-mond"
"My village doesn't even have a dark forest not to talk of diamond"
Sunny began bitterly. "Can u believe that i entered into one of our
stupid forest with the hope of seeing 'dia' not to talk
of 'mond', a very big snake pursued me!" With the fear of the
snake, Sunny grabbed his bag. Before he could run into the room,
Trust was already there with the same fear.

Before the day ran out, Sandra had noticed Udoka and David
together but remained mute. She had been receiving money
seriously from her 'Mugus' thereby looking more classic. She sat
in her car which moved towards the school gate with Kate inside
lamenting bitterly.
"I saw that girl again today with David! What nonsense?! Is time i
show her my real colours!"
Just as Sandra lamented, they sighted Udoka's car coming from
the opposite direction. Therefore she blocked her.
Udoka activated her car horn severally but there was no response.
She was with the other three girls inside the car too.
"Who is this animal that is blocking us?" Adaku provoked.
Monica, who sat in the front seat looked at her sister, the driver,
and said, "Take another roate"
Udoka wanted to do so but Sandra turned her stirring wheel
towards the same direction. As they stared at the car, Sandra and
Kate came out from it. Kate's dressing and complexion could give
her the name, 'Black Witch.' She doesn't care or smile anyhow.
"So, Sandra is the one doing this. Who dashed her a car?" Adaku
said again.
"Who's that girl with her?" Faith asked fearfully.
"Her partner in crime of course" Adaku replied.
Udoka glanced at her sister. She opened the driver's door likewise
others and all came down. Nearby students kindly moved away
from them after seeing their movements. Others, who were afar
paid attention to see what
would happened. That wasn't the first time such thing happened
in the school and had always resulted to violence which was the
last thing in Udoka's mind following her mother's advice.
"Sandra, why are you blocking my way?" Udoka asked standing a
bit far from her.
Without replying, Sandra walked closer to her but Udoka never
took a step backward rather stared at her unabashedly..
