Love, Lust And Lost - Season 1 Episode 64

He heard his name being called but pretended not to hear.

“Izuchukwu,” she shouted and looked pointedly at him. Their eyes met and it were like that of a dog and a cat against each other. Both maintaining a distance but calculating when to pounce or attack first.


The students all stared towards Izuchukwu. They were amazed at the defiance he was putting on as a vest yet they couldn’t know what he was trying to do; his plans.

Baba 70 was at his back on the line. He started laughing unnecessarily and people shifted their gazes on him. On Izu’s mind, he said `thank God o, Chai!’ They stared at Baba 70 as if to ask him what was tickling his s£nsat!on. He didn’t stop, he just continued to laugh, covering his mouth, bending and rising up again. Then before one could say Jack, Izu had started walking forward. His steps were bold and his classmates cheered him on.

“Izu! Izu!! Izu!!!” But before he got to the tyres used as guide or protective measures for the flowers/garden at the front – Miss Iton startled him.

“Will you mind the flowers, you Idiot!” She was so conscious about the flowers as if she were the gardener in charge of it.

Izu changed direction. He turned right, then left and climbed the pavement, sweats were beginning to trickle down his face. His armpit showed wet patches of sweats.

If one should look intently at his face, they were red, what was he going to debate? The dull butt0ckz, but with the way he continued up the stairs to the first floor – was as if he was going to surprise many today.

Few minutes passed and Mr. Izu had not appeared on the balcony. What was happening? Had he disappeared along the stairs? These were questions that played in the minds of students on the assembly.

“Where is Izu? Do you realize you are wasting our time?” Miss Iton enquired casting her gaze up and turning slightly. Her glasses shifted up her nose as she looked up. The rays of the sun sparkled a star at the cross-edge of the glasses – right at the tip of the nose.

“Ma,” yet he didn’t come out.

The assembly thundered with a mad laughter from no particular person than Maxwell meanwhile Enore Izu’s girlfriend had started to feel uncomfortable within herself. She knew her boyfriend so well and couldn’t take what disgrace he was going to go through. What about the ones he would make her feel from her classmates. They would ridicule her so much.

Although she wasn’t all that bright or intelligent a student yet she wasn’t as dull as Izuchukwu, her boyfriend. May be because she was in the Science class and had to strife to read made her to be a little alive at her studies.

“Will you come out here or what magic are you planning to display?” Miss Iton lashed out.

People didn’t really pay attention to Maxwell when he first burst into laughter the first time but now, it seemed he was running insane. He started laughing, his laughter rented the assembly ground.

All eyes momentarily turned his directions forgetting Izu had not appeared. Even the english teacher was surprised at Maxwell’s show. What had bitten him to cause the laughter? It could be heard by nearby schools; the Maroko High School and the Junior School, right a few distance, opposite.

“Maxwell Okwor, are you sure you are alright?” From the principal, who had left the doctor and Tochukwu in his office made Maxwell laughter to start subsidising.

“Sorry sir, sor-sor sor sorry sir,” he stammered amidst little stretch of giggles.

Izu appeared from the balcony all smiles. His babyface left people wondering may be he had suddenly become so brilliant, so much courage.

“Mr Chairman for table sir, I greet you well well,” all stares returned back to the balcony, there was a deafening silence.

No one laughed, they all wanted to hear the clown proceed.

“The time-keeper never dey do him work well cause the guy dey too dey late come school. I know the person wey dey help am ring the bell for SS2,” he was speaking the truth but this was no place for that. He was asked to debate not to reveal the inept attitude of the school time-keeper.

“Abeg make una wait for me I dey come, I wan run go sh1t. I dey purge!!!” Izu ran away from the balcony holding his trousers.

The whole assembly couldn’t hold it back again, they all burst out laughing. All the teachers present too couldn’t help but laugh. Before they could know it, he ran across the podium and headed towards the toilet.

“Will you come back here?” Miss Iton said amidst laughter. She wanted to be serious but couldn’t help herself with the way he shifted weight from one leg to the other. Maxwell and Baba 70 now were laughing some absurd laugh. Izu’s face was disjointed, displeasured and sweats trickled down his jaws as if he were truly purging.

“Ma, I dey purge, please make I go abeg,” he pleaded.

“Please Miss Iton, let him go. Don’t let him mess up his body,” the vice principal pleaded and some few teachers joined mouth. Izu’s plans were working wonders for him.

“Why should he go? He’s such a liar!” By the Head boy came from the SS3 section of the assembly.

“Who is that fool that has the authority to speak while I speak?” The Vice principal became serious.

“I’m sorry sir but,………”

“Will you shut up? You still have the right to speak. You are such a fool and a disgrace to the prefect-hood. Go into my office and kneel down. I will deal with you today.” The vice principal said sternly, walking forward.

“Where is that Bala?“ He continued as he climbed the pavement and faced the assembly, turning towards the SS3 line.

“Follow him, I will teach both of you there is more than being a prefect, than being in SS3 if you think you can just constitute nuisance because of the class you are.

They rest of you may now retire into your classes,” he completed and entered his
office.
