Story: The Silence By Simisola Sowole - Season 1 Episode 2

EPISODE TWO

I slapped Felix hard and angrily locked him in my wardrobe . Emeka always do that to the stubborn juniors and released them after a while. I decided to follow suit. A general assembly was held before we went for midterm break. Parents were already coming to get their kids. After the assembly was held I saw my mum waiting for me. I was going home.

Then I remembered the junior I locked in my wardrobe and decided to ask Emeka to release him. “Hey Emeka that stupid boy is in my wardrobe abeg release him. I’ve shown him a lesson. ” I informed Emeka. “Okay sure. You are now strict o.” He joked.

My holiday was just 2days and it was fun. I spent lot of time with my mum and brothers. I even had the chance to see Nkem my neighbor and we did a little romance. She told me about how she had missed me. I just smiled.

I didn’t miss her a bit. I barely got attracted to a girl. But they always flock around me. I finally got back to school but a day earlier. The holiday was meant for 3days but Emeka and I planned to stay for 2. I got to my room and noticed the foul smell. I covered my nose quickly. The smell was very disgusting and was like something getting rotten. I ran out of my room. Emeka just arrived and he was smiling. “Hey bros how are you?” He greeted. “Go inside and smell the room.” I advised. “Blood of Jesus!” Emeka entered and shouted. We tried figuring out what had the smell.

Then it dawned on me “Emeka did you release the boy!?” I shouted. He looked at me for a while. I shook him fiercely in annoyance. “Please tell me you did.” I begged. Emeka pushed me away and opened my wardrobe. The boy sat there lifeless. He was stiff and smelly. His eyes were shut. I opened my mouth but no sound came out.
