Adventure of johnysky episode 15

Adventure of johnysky episode 15
The orange-gold lights from the towering street lights flickered into the taxi as our taxi tore the road sending an endless stream of tall standing street lights behind us.
The shadows casted by the light smeared through my face sweeping past us at the same speed with the car.
 
My face was stuck out of the car window, my breathe deep and heavy, and the wind bathed my face making my eyes blink faster.
 
I still can’t believe what i did just a few hours ago. her voice still echoed through my mind, the way she mo-ned my name, her gasping grips and my raging lustful energy while on the business.
 
“Baby, my baby your friends are here” I was having a good dream when those mild voice woke me up, She was still stark unclad and her body glowed under the light.
 
“Ebuka and Dave are waiting for you in front of the door” She announced getting up to tie the bed spread around her body while i still struggled to clear sleep off my eyes.
 
“What time is it ma” I yawned out.
 
“Its 4:30am, you know you guys have to go so as to get to school and slip back in,side before activities resume in your school”
she said looking at her phone.
Couldn’t believe my ears, she knew we were just secondary school students and yet?
 
I sluggishly dragged myself out of bed slipping into my trouser and shoes, hands a bit weak and shaky, eyes heavy and body still yearning for sleep.
“Sky do quick na, you be girl? – aaaah!!!” Thats was Dave’s voice from the other side of the door sounding as impatient as always.
 
I spent almost 10minutes fixing my shoes all the while contemplating how to tell her i expect payment or anything. it was total conflict of confusion and desire.
 
“Emmmmh ma, am going now” I announced keeping my eyes fixed on myself.
“Hhhmmm baby you were wonderful, i hope i will be expecting you next time” She smiled out.
 
“Yes ma, definitely” My heart was racing; what if this woman doesn’t give me anything now, that one go be serious gobe oooo.
 
“Dave!!!” She called out to the door and dave’s face popped in almost immediately, his eyes as white and as bright as a baby refusing to sleep in a bid to keep it’s mother awake.
 
“Please make sure you bring my baby here next week” She winked at him waving a passive hand and a childish laugh.
Dave forced out a laugh “Yes na, na my boy im be na” he sang back.
 
She dragged her frame out of the bed, Grabbed me again and pulled me into her taking my l-ips on into a morning k-ss crushing me deeper into her.
“You will never regret knowing me if you stick to me alone” She whispered into my ears.
 
Slipped her hand into the bed post and threw two neat crisp bundles of 1000naira notes into my hands with a smiling k-ss.
“I will see you again baby” She said falling back down into the bed.
 
“Jesus!!! Sky she gave you 100k!” Dave intoned in a whispery shout as i closed the door behind me.
“Wooow sky not bad for a start” Ebuka said in his usual ‘always in charge’ tone.
 
My face lit up on realizing the amount of naira i had on my hand, I had only seen this amount of money in nollywood movies and it looked so unreal to me even when its real.
 
I kept gazing at the money in my hand and the two figure on the naira note gazed back in all seriousness, this has turned out to be the best night of my life.
 
The journey back to school was as soothing as it was nerve wreaking, i was feeling good of myself, i was happy i mustered up courage to go with them and it has paid off.
 
My right hand rested on my lap pocket feeling the bulged texture of the material due to the bundle of minty cash on it, i had to be sure the money doesn’t just disappear when i look away.
 
“Sky that your mummy na badt oo, she deh settle wella” Dave said excitedly in the taxi.
“Don’t you know who her husband is?” Ebuka ch¡pped in.
 
“And she is wickedly pretty” I sang out naughtily. . They both burst into laughter, could make out the taxi driver taking a slight peep at us through the rear view mirror.
 
We slipped into the school through the h0le which we covered untraceably well by the expertise hand of Dave, we tip toed to the back door having to crawl one after the other past Bulldog who was dozzing noisily on a chair with the huge sweater he wore giving him a more threatening and ferocious figure.
 
We slipped into the hall way leading to our hostel after having to dodge the Kitchen staffs as they went to get the breakfast running.
 
Laying motionlessly on my bed my mind lay bleak and a feel of terror engulfed me at the thought of what would have happened if the night turned out unsuccessful, yet again the mints i had made within the hours formatted my mind for good.
 
The day lay gloomy cold, an untold anxiety hung in the air and the classrooms had less noise than usual. I was restless on my seat my mind glued to my wealth like super glue every little thought provoked a fear that i might not find it again when i get back to my dormitory, the chair felt like a burning charcoal and i needed to head back and make sure i was still 100k rich as i was last night.
 
Princess looks kept falling towards me but i ignored them and fixed my eyes on the blank white board, no teacher was in class so everyone was busy with whatever that rocked their boat.
 
I watched Victor drag himself up from his desk, grabbed a huge further mathematics text book and headed towards princess’ desk while his face took an evil smirk and an eyeing look. I could swear he winked at me but my mind was too occupied on my prize and everything else was history, he can teach her the wh0le world for all i care.
 
My eyes scanned through the class through the class, Agatha as usual was singing dreamily not minding that some were trying to read, mary the catholic reverend sister was curled at a corner,eyes closed and her l-ips moving slightly it was obvious she was saying the rosary as usual, i shook my head and moved on jumping the direction that Victor sat with Princess.
 
My eyes caught with Sharon, her eyes were fixed on me and those long lashes seemed artificial and the light mascara made her eyes seem like that of a p–n star.
 
She smiled and threw a slight wave at me with a bold look, i looked behind to be sure i was really the person getting the gesture the only time Sharon ever spoke to me since i came to McGonals was the day the biology teacher instructed i collect the biology assignment from everyone and her words not even that friendly.
 
I mopped back at Sharon who still was smiling while she looked at me, i kept a straight face and move on then i noticed Sharon stand from her seat and walked towards me adjusting her skirt up a bit.
 
I swallowed hærd and looked on at the figure drawing nearer and nearer, she was quite tall at almost 5’10, a busty chest and slightly decent h¡p and bum size.
 
Two tribal marks ran at the two sides of her face blemishing an almost flawless face marked by a small perky mouth that she seem to always pout.
 
“Sky, can i seat with you? ”
I could only get myself to nod and shift a bit for her to seat beside me.
 
Turns out she came to propose we read together this coming friday during general reading time, i still couldn’t audibly say “yes” kept nodding like a glorified agama lizard while my mind was on a goose chase wondering why the sudden friendliness and i could swear i saw princess looking at us.
 
“Sky!!!” Dave rushed into the classroom looking all tensed up and sweating profusely, his school uniform had some patch of dirt and they looked ruffled.
 
“Sky!!!” He yelled again heading straight towards me, his eyes flashed towards Princess and Victor who were pointing and solving whatever it is they were solving in the text book and victor’s left hand expectedly on her shoulder, he shrugged and moved on to where i was.
 
“Dave ogini? (what is it)” I threw at him in Igbo peering into his face.
“Sky we are in trouble” He washed out looking round the class then dragged me up and we headed out of the class.
I was turned into a ghost. “What sort of trouble, let it not be that someone saw us last night” I was muttering some prayers to myself, Dave’s hands were visibly shaking and it betrayed the fear he harboured within.
 
At the back of the block, it was secluded and was rarely used by anyone.
“Dave stop this na, what is the matter?” I sang out sounding throaty the fear was already forming a lump on my throat.
 
“Sky, we are in trouble, We are going to be expelled” He said sounding like he was pleading.
“Expelled kwa? for what na” I asked still trying to maintain my feet on the ground.
 
“Dave talk naaa, what happened?” My anxiety and fear was betrayed, sweats were already forming on my face and my feet was not steady the floor.
 
“The school knows!!!” He blurted out, his voice shaky as always and eyes peering deeply around.
 
“school know what na dave, talk naa” i was almost crying as reality was coldly but slowly dawning on me.
 
“The school found out we went over the fence last night, i over heard some teachers discussing that the Bulldog saw some students last night sneaking into the school this morning and he identified them but didn’t bother stopping them” he paused for a while and looked into my face, my two hands already flew up to my head and my jaws dropped in a feverish pensiveness.
 
“Sky didn’t you wonder why all the students were told to assemble at the general hall this afternoon? The principal wants to call the students out in front of everyone and possibly expulsion. Sky we are in trouble ”
 
A tear dropped from my eye, hands still resting heavily on my head and mouth still agape.
“Papa warned me, what will i tell my papa now? ”
 
The bell rang feverishly tearing through the air and my heart skipped a beat pounding furiously on my chest threatening to rip it open.
 
“Now class the session is over so going by the principal’s instructions everyone should get ready and start matching to the general hall” the maths teacher barked in his usual croaky tone peering at the faces of the students who rather looked surprised.
 
“One of you have being bursted in the wrong act and hopefully this will be their last day in this school as students” he smirked casting a rather cold look towards me.
 
“Jesus i am finished today” my heart cried subconsciously taking my hands up to my head, fretting reddened eyes. Could see princess casting suspicious looks at me every now and then, it certainly doesn’t even bother me after all the wh0le school is about to know, papa will get to know and mama what will she say.
 
I had more dire worries that burdened me than just a pretty girl here, Dave was slowly packing his books into his back pack still sweating like a rat that fell into a bucket of water. The maths teacher still held the FBI look glaring and smirking as if he knows for sure who the culprits were.
 
The general hall was buzzing with students murmuring and hissing most of them ignorant of the reason why everyone were called to the hall and frankly all wished to be in the refectory having lunch now.
 
In a little more than 30minutes the hall went strangely and suddenly quiet, soft footsteps were heard towards the podium. The vice principal- a short man with a pig snout look, bald like a vulture and pot bellied- walked in trailed by 3 black clad men easily recognized to be police men.
 
The man wore a very angry face and so did the police men though that is a normal trade mark for Nigerian police men.
 
“Good day students!!!” He sang out sounding clownish in his almost shrieky feminine voice which always seemed funny to me but today it wasn’t at all.
 
“Good day sir” everyone sang back in an almost impatient manner.
 
Dave drew near me as the vice principal’s voice filled the hall again. “Sky don’t worry they might just suspend us and not expulsion” He said is a shaky voice still all sweaty.
 
He was visibly more scared than i am but still was trying to console me none the less, Ebuka sat next to Dave seeming more composed than the both of us but had his eyes fixed on the short stout figure addressing the students from the podium.
 
“Where ever we find evil and bad qualities in this school, it must be quickly expunged so as not to destroy the good qualities we have worked so hærd to maintain” He took one step down from the Podium going nearer towards the students who all held him in their eyes.
 
“Last night, our security personnel’s caught three students sneaking back to the school as early as 4am from God’s knows where and unfortunately for them they have been identified and will be called out here right now before you to set examples for the rest of you on the consequences of bad deeds”
 
The wh0le hall went into another quick bout of murmur a bit loud this time, questioning looks thrown at each other and “i don’t know” hand gestures here and there, the wh0le hall was bleak.
 
Bulldog stood next to the police men, his hands spread wide like a WWE star wearing a slight grin with his head held up high.
 
“This is it” i breathed out to Dave who held my hand tight. The air was bleak and slow, i couldn’t breathe, i couldn’t think everyone seemed to react in slow motion.
 
“If you hear your name step out here right now” the Vice-principal barked.
I held my breathe and shut my eyes with silent prayers pouring out of my heart smeared with a lot of promises to God if he got me out of my predicament in one piece.
 
“Harrison Ibaka!!!”
 
There was a loud shout of “eeeeeeh!!!” “aaaaaaah” “choi!!!” “jesus!!!” “Oh my god!!” resounding all over the hall as students caste searching looks around.
 
Dave nudged my hærd on the side and i opened my eyes. “Who is Harrison and he didn’t go over fence with us” my mind asked looking around as a tall, fair complexion guy with a pastor Chris hair style stood up and moved towards the podium.
 
“Tunde Ola and Ngozi Ibe” the Vice principal called out again getting a similar feedback of awe struck shouts.
 
I looked at Dave he was all smiles but still had sweats all over, Ebuka winked at me bearing a smile too, i forced out a sharp grin though my limbs were visibly shaking and my heart beat were irregular in pattern.
 
“Chai Dave that could have been us!” I blurted out to the over joyous dave who was busy jumping like a new born lizard.
 
“Seriously sky we were three lucky bad boys” Ebuka ch¡pped in growing more colourful but still maintained his cool.
 
“I can’t really believe those three has been expelled from this school just like that, the administration guys are just too wicked” I threw at Ebuka since Dave would rather enjoy the euphoria of his happiness and pay less mind to what the two imbeciles beside him were saying.
 
“They are not wicked sky it is just the school rule. we would have been on our way home now if we were the ones caught but they were not as smart as us” The ever in charge boss replied with all boldness his words piecing my heart like a sword “we would have been on our way home” gave me chilly goose bumps to imagine.
 
“Sky someone is calling you” Ebuka said rather dreamily nodding behind us.
 
I turned and princess was walking briskly towards us singing my name continuously and victor walking just behind her clutching her pink sweater.
 
“what is it again with this girl” i muttered to the hearing of Ebuka who simply smiled and ch¡pped in a sassy remark “That little bastard following her around is really annoying, abeg sky see you in the refectory” With that he was chasing after Dave towards our dormitory
 
“Princess how far na” i addressed her trying to maintain a cool look despite Victor standing just a few meters away from us casting a very stupid smirk towards me.
 
“Sky i am not here for formality, i am simply here to warn you”
She retorted.
 
“Warn me, over what?” i asked looking quite surprised.
 
“Please cut the garbage, i noticed your behaviour at the general hall and someone reliable has relayed to me that you have joined the dumb idiots of house-B in their immoral over the fence escapades”
 
Her face was tight, her pink lip gloss were almost faded and the sun made her face appear a bit darker to me as she rang on.
 
“What are you talking about Princess” i mopped out like a programmed robot looking towards Victor who was now wearing a very mischievous grin still looking towards us catching my eyes..
 
“Just hold it there sky, i am well aware you went over the fence the same night as the ones who were expelled today, let me sing this into your head. If you do not retrace your steps and focus on what you came to this school for, your greed and stupendous idiocy in making stupid choices will be your end. i assure you, just like today you will be next!”
 
I could swear Victor heard those rantings, it was a bit loud and those foolish grin just w¡dened.
 
“Sky…….”
 
“Shut up princess, just shut up!!!” I cut her short.
 
“Who do you think you are, eeeeehn? who dah hell are you to be pouring such nonsense at me as if you are my mother”
 
I didn’t care if Victor was hearing me now or not after all those evil grin of his helped tipped my adrenaline over.
 
Princess’ face went blank, surprise and another unfamiliar feel smeared all over it and her eyes glued on me, her l-ips tried to move but could not.
 
“See next time you listen to cheap gossips keep it to yourself because if you bring this kind of idiotic accusations and bossy attitude to me again, i swear you won’t like me. Good day”
I blew out, turned and headed towards the dormitory l leaving her standing there like an unfinished statue.
 
Cursing  and swearing at myself as i angrily stormed towards the hostel.
