My monster episode 1 – 2
My Monster
Chapter 1
We all make wishes not thinking how drastically it could change our lives if it happens to comes true. For as long as I can remember I have always wish my dad to be super rich, so I can eat the food I want, wear the latest cloth and have the latest phone. Luckily my wish came true so just earlier this year the government awarded my dad a multi billion contract, that really was a live changing contract for us, literally. My father made sure to send my elder brother outside the country, then bought the best kind of things for me. At first all was fine, I became the richest girl in the neighborhood. My mom kept saying we should pack out, my dad said no need since he is already building his house and we should wait till I finish my ss 2, so once we relocate I will start in a new school. I never bothered about the new school or the new environment I was too busy being the biggest girl in my poor neighborhood.
Sadly after my ss 2 we packed into our new home, and the environment was super rich. I have only seen this type of environment in magazines and TV,I never imagined I would one day live here.
“It feels so good, the air smells different… Pure” said my mom the day we packed it, I could see how happy she was when we packed in, she never loved our formal neighborhood, its filled with gossipers and nosy neighbours so she said.
Now I have been enrolled to a prestigious school, so spacious that I don’t think I will ever get to cover the wh0le school tilI I finish. Its been a week since I enrolled and I still feel poor, unlike my formal neighborhood that I became the biggest, here I feel like am poor again.
My mom think attending this school gives me a better chance of being successful in life, she doesn’t realise how inferior I feel. I just realise being rich doesn’t only mean fat bank account, it also include the way you carry yourself,the designers you wear, your intonation, the way you stress your consonants and vowels. Now I know as I am new money, the students in this school are old money, they are all born with silver spoon, I feel like a sheep thrown to the wolves. Its been a week and I have only manage to make one friend Amina. She is dark very pretty I jealous her cute innocent face, but she talks a lot, am more of a quiet one.
“Today is going to be awesome” Amina said full of excitement, the wh0le student are gathered on the assembly ground.
“Why” I asked cause I can also see the excitement in every student face especially my classmates.
“Today, the delinquents will be joining us” she said. Delinquents? I thought to myself, if am right then it means trouble, what’s there to be excited about it.
“Delinquents, that means they’re technically bad” I said just to be sure.
“Yes, that makes it all the fun, its been boring, since everybody here plays by the book, nobody is sure how the delinquents will act so it gets everybody excited” she said p-nting stretching her neck to see the front. I love boring, boring means safe and I love safe.
“Won’t they harm students, and how come the school authority allows it” I asked
The delinquents are all expelled from other schools, and no school wants them, so our principal believes he’s giving them one more chance” she said, that’s insane, I feel uneasy.
“Won’t they deceive the students” I asked
“Probably, but before they are accepted, they first off all go to the military camp for a month for discipline, and while they are here, its the military that takes care of them, they go and come with the military” she said.
“How come you know all this” I asked, thought this is the first time
“Think Barbara, cause this isn’t the first time” she took a breath and looked at me, it happens once every 3 years.
“So the school get this excited every time” I asked looking around
“Not nearly, there have been a rumor that principal did it cause of the money the delinquents parents pay him, cause they are always from rich family. So, he now decided to take in poor kids to dissolve the rumors, now since no student knows the rich from the poor we are all excited to figure it out and besides some of us don’t know how poor people act” she said and returned to her exciting mode.
“I actually know” I muttered to myself.
I heard the murmur from the student as I watch a bus drive in, the bus filled with delinquents.
“Hi pretty” I heard someone call from behind me,I stiffed, the voice always do that to me.
“Hi Kevin” I replied with a stutter.
Chapter 2
My name is Barbara Omeh, I have always been a s-cker for cute guys, now in my new school, a guy called Kevin is just a bag of cuteness, and the moment our eyes met the first day, it was magical, its been a week and all we do is steal glances at each other. He makes our school uniform looks like designers, he is tall, have Justin bieber kind of cuteness, I watch as girls fawn over him, but even in midst of all those girls he still looks at me and gives me a drop dead smile.
Since a weak now all we do is steal glance, but today he came right behind me and said hi, his voice sounded like peanut butter.
“What do you think of the delinquent” He asked
“What do you think” I asked back, since am afraid my thought might be different from his and he will hate that.
“Nothing really, it happens every 3 years, some more interesting than others” he said looking ahead as the bus came to a halt.
“Oh” I just said and started looking upfront. The first person to come out is a man in his mid forty wearing an army uniform.
“Get down” he shouted and it riveted the wh0le school, then one by one the delinquents came down. They’re just nine, I thought they will be more
“So we now have nine new student” Kevin said stressing his first word.
I just gave a nod, the man moved forward and they followed him, it felt like the delinquents are nervous, they didn’t look at the student, that’s what I did the first day I came in.
The soldier shook hands with the principal, then the student lined up facing us, but still didn’t look our face, some focused on the sky while others in their feet. There is a really cute girl with them,I wonder what made her a delinquent.
“Now everybody is thinking, who the poor ones are” Kevin said, I tried to judge from their appearance, but that didn’t give me the answer since they all wore the same uniform like us.
“Does it matter” I asked
“Not really, but am sure the girls will avoid the person if they know” he said with a scoff.
“Introduce yourself to the students” The soldier ordered, then they passed them the mic, I never knew school use mic on the Assembly ground till I came here, it will also be impossible to address the wh0le student without mic, cause the student are many.
“My name is Richærd Igwe” said the first boy, he have a petite body but he is not bad “am here cause my school expelled me, why? Cause I hacked into their server and got the exam sheet before the exam, you know I just couldn’t resist the temptation” he said the last part proudly and the students cheered for him.
“What a good way to make an entry” Kevin said
“Amanda Charles” the really cute girl said, “am here cause no other school could take my bitchy attitude” she said and passed the mic,
“Don’t worry we can” one of the boys scre-med, we all laughed.
“Caleb Okafor, I fight a lot” The third person said, he really look macho.
“Kayode Akin” he took a deep breath “fell in with the bad crew and I got busted”
I won’t lie, its interesting I now eager to hear them all.
“Obinna Agu, its just a huge misunderstanding, am innocent, I don’t deserve to be here” he said, we all laughed cause he look guilty of whatever charges they laid on him. He handed over the mic to the sixth guy, they guy didn’t say anything to gave the mic to the seventh guy who is also identical with him,
“Twins” Amina said.
“Am Gabriel Okeke, and this is my brother” he said patting his brother “he don’t talk much, our crime is mainly of my doing, I pick fight always then my brother always comes to help me out, so making him my partner in crime. Our parents think the military camp will discipline us since we are heir to a construction company” he said with a shrug.
“Now that’s my type of guys” Amina said smiling.
“Am Henry Anayo, am just a victim of circ-mstance, am so glad I have this opportunity” he said then passed the mic.
“That’s a first” Kevin said
“Collins Onuh, just decided to be the scapegoat, am not regretting it” he said and looked at Amanda, awww I smell something.
“Where is he” the army man shouted, they pointed at the car, and said something, but it wasn’t audible enough. He took the second mic.
“Get down here boy before I get you myself” he said looking at the bus. So there is a tenth guy now am excited that I can’t keep calm. I find myself stretching my neck like Amina, am even standing on my toe.
“Cool it girl, he will get down” Kevin said with a scoff. I paid him no attention as I watch a figure get down from the bus. Everywhere went quiet, drop a pin and the sound will be heard, that’s how quiet we all got. The reason for this is cause the boy that came down is wearing a mask. A mask with the design that makes it look like skull.
He walked confidently to the podium, his face was all covered so no way telling if he is nervous or not.
He took the mic to introduce himself, I strained my ear to hear him so I won’t miss anything, no one got my interest like the boy on the mask.
“Am Eric” he said and gave the mic back to Collins, he gave no other explanation or introduction, not even a surname, just Eric.
