I got to the small office the sch had reserved for corpers thinking deeply with a gloomy face. My seat was beside that of Lola, just by d wall. I was praying in my mind for the subject chemistry to be taken away from me and given to someone else, when the principal walked in and said, “hey corpers hope u are enjoying the sch?” “enjoy wetin, me wey dey suffer here, u dey say enjoy” i said to myself. “well they is some changes now, corper Lola would b taking English and not literature, while corper Ugo would leave chemistry and take only physics bcos we have a new chemistry teacher, all the rest remains with their various subjects ok” the principal said while taking his leave. “thank God oh, so God u dey answer prayer fast fast like dis” i said to myself with a smile in my face.
I got home, hurried to the bank, withdrew some cash and went to the market to buy somethings to beautify my house with, things like: a tv set, a dvd, a speaker, a rug, a curtain, stove e.t.c.
My room was very beautiful, atleast more beautiful than the rooms of other boys. After i finished arranging my room, i arranged my foodstuff, ready to cook myself lunch when i noticed i had no salt.
I went to a mini-supermarket just close to our compound to get the salt. As i entered the mini-supermarket what i say made me dumb. “what do u want to buy?” “what do u want, or are u dumb?” dis very angelic beauty that looks more like Genevive Nnaji of nollywood asked. “salt” i said, as she was bringing the salt i said again “sorry i meant sugar not salt” forgeting what i wanted to buy, she brought sugar and i said yet again “am very sorry its salt i actually want” “are u ok?” she asked “no…… ehn sorry yes” i answered with cönfussiön. “my name is Flow, u are?” i asked as she told me her name was Dami “Dami, i said sugar mistakenly bcos u are as sweet as sugar, even sweeter” i lied. “thank u” she said smiling. She gave me the salt, i paid and went home feeling happier than i came……
In sch i was discussing with my guys next day “flow eeeh, as i enter class, i ask dem my students where the last teacher stop wit dem, naso one girl come stand up con say REPRODUCTION oh” Agom said. I laughed uncontrollably saying “no be u be their biology teacher, u go teach her reproduction na, theory for sch and practical for house, abi no be so?” “na so na” ilorin responded as we continued laughing at Angom.
I got home, took a nap and woke up by 6pm. I entered Sammy’s room, i saw him playing Chess with Kelvin. “correct men dem, so una sabi play chess?” i asked what was obvious, “yes oh u sabi play am?” Kelvin asked. “i be baba for chess na” i said while taking my seat. I noticed Sammy played better as the attacked Kelvin with his queen flying to different angles of the board trying to devour all Kelvin’s officers. “i dey set oh” i said “no wahala, just ready i go soon win am” sammy said.
Soon it was my set, i gave sammy a hard time as we played till late in the nite. They took the light, yet we continued playing with a candle light. We were playing happily not knowing what trouble would befall us that night. We played, and my brain was geting heavy, i couldn’t think any more, when suddenly we heard a big b*ang on our gate. . . . . . . . . “who be that” i said. .
