TRAUMA (Pains of Love) - Season 1 - Episode 12

PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL.
INSIDE THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE
:
The principal stared at my mum as he was unable to say a word.

After few seconds of silence, he cleared his throat as a sign to show he had finally found his voice. “David, go call me the head boy quickly!” he ordered while David obeyed and left.

Mom then turned to Peace, “Guess you’re gonna have to learn how to talk to people older than you coz the next time you accuse my daughter wrongly in my presence, I won’t hesitate to do something harmful to you,” Mom cautioned.

“I’m sorry ma,” Peace swallowed hard and apologised. I could tell from the look on her face that she was scared of something I couldn’t figure out myself but Joy showed no remorse at all but kept on giving me looks to kill.

Minutes later, the head boy came in with David following behind.

“Eric,” the principal called immediately he set his eyes on him. “What relationship do you have with this two?” he asked pointing at Joy and Peace.

“Normal relationship sir, senior prefect and junior student,” Eric replied with his hands behind his back.(sorry I forgot to add this, boys in my school used neck ties).

The principal looked confused and faced Joy and Peace. “Lets hear from you too.”
“Same sir, nothing intimate,” they said in unison.

“So, how did the money get into Becky’s bag?”

Peace glanced at me and scratched her hair a bit. “I set her up sir,” she said and looked down.

Mom turned to her again surprisingly, “You deserve more than a slap from me for making my daughter cry.” Facing the principal again, she held my hands and said, “Next time you will learn to trust my daughter and do some findings before accusing her wrongly, once this mess has been cleared and sorted out, you let me know but for now, Becky is going home with me,” and with that, she pulled me to herself and we both left the office and headed to my class so I could pick my school bag…
:
We got home few minutes past ten o’clock that morning. My cousins came out to welcome me, then led me into the house.

“Can you imagine, stupid people, senseless idiots,” Mom shouted as she walked into the house and sat on the couch in the sitting room with her face looking puffed and swollen in anger.

“What happened?” Nath wanted to know as he and Josh sat beside me with their hands on my shoulder. I narrated everything to them right from yesterday when David had slapped Peace.

“Hmm, teenage clash of love,” Josh said.

“Nonsense!” Mom stood up. “Becky isn’t going to that school again unless the principal and students involved openly apologises to her,” Mom fired, turned and headed upstairs to her room.

Nath sighed deeply, “Come lets take you to your room,” he smiled and pulled me up while Josh also stood up.

They both led me upstairs to my room, then left me so I could change up, shower and have some rest…

After I had taken my bath, I wore just my underwear and slept off…
:
I woke up around 3:00pm and couldn’t believe I had slept that long. I quickly ran out of my room and went downstairs to meet my cousins who were already dressed. “Where are you two going?” I asked as I moved to sit beside Josh.

“Have you forgotten, the dinner?” Nath smiled.

“Wow! It had completely skipped my mind,” I jumped excitedly.

“Go dress up, we will leave by 4:30pm. We will first go to the cinema thereafter stop by to have dinner,” Josh said with a smile too.

I felt very happy and excited as I left and ran upstairs to dress up. Thank God I woke up at the right time but I know they would have woken me up sha coz atleast it was just 3:05pm and they were planning to leave by 4:30PM…

I took my time to dress and by the time I went downstairs again, everyone were like, “wow!!! You look stunning.” I wore black high waist trouser and pink crop top and on my legs were pink designers sandals to match, then wore pink and black bracelets on my hands and also carried a black mirror purse which shone brightly. I had untied my hair thus letting it fall in tangled plaites on my shoulders.

“I’m ready,” I smiled as I stood behind the couch.

Nath and Josh stared at me without saying a word while mom came and hugged me.

“Don’t let anyone steal our beauty queen o,” my auntie said while we laughed.

“Sure,” Nath laughed and came to hold my hand. Mom bade us goodbye and after snapping some pictures outside with Nath’s phone, we finally left in mom’s car with Josh driving…

:
AT THE CINEMA
:
Someone came up behind us as Josh and I stood waiting for Nath to pay for our tickets.

“Wow, Ken, watstup bro?” Josh laughed and shook hands with the guy.

“I’m fine, its been a while tho,” Ken laughed too and looked at me. “And who’s this angel with you?” he asked.

“Oh! My little cousin,” Josh smiled.

“Nice meeting you,” Ken stretched his hands towards me for a shake which I accepted with a smile but he held me a little longer than usual until Josh cleared his throat..
