Rebirth chapter 26


The following day, everywhere was back to normal like nothing ever happened, students went to their various departments for lectures, some students queued up in line as they boarded a cab to their various destination. I went to class late because I stayed up all night to study, my eyes balls felt heavy when I woke up, I struggled to stay awake but fully woke up when I entered the bathroom and turned on the shower, the cold water ran through my face down to my body. When I got to class, mark waved at me and I went to meet him.

Mark: Morning.
Me: Hey....morning.
Mark: You look wasted.
Me: Yeah I know, but why isn't the lecturer here yet? It's already 9:30, I thought class was supposed to start by 7:00am?
Mark: Perhaps it has something to do with yesterday's incident.
Me: oh... that?
Mark: (he turned to his system and continued operating it) Anyways that's good news, it gives me more time to finish with the assignment.
Me: (I stretch my neck to check what he was typing) yours?
Mark: nah... My friend's own, I figured it will be easier and faster if I used a system.
Me: oh.. Okay...

I left him to his work to avoid distracting him and turned on my phone *"I normally switch off my phone in class to avoid distraction"* The moment I switched it on a call came in, I checked the caller but it was an unknown number and so I picked the call.

Me: Hello?
Unknown caller: You ran out on me the other day, where are you?
Me: Who.....are you?
Unknown caller: You will know when we meet.
Me: I'm not interested in meeting you!
Unknown caller: wow...that's pretty blunt (giggles) what an interesting girl, we will meet soon, take care. *And he hung up*

I thought of who it could be since I didn't share my contact out to anyone in school aside Chioma. I figured from his words it would be someone from yesterday's incident. While I was still thinking when a well-dressed lady came in and announced that lectures were cancelled for today day, apparently the lecturers were in an important meeting and wouldn't make it. After the announcement some students started leaving while some stayed back, I stayed back because I had nothing to do in the hostel which is usually noisy and uncomfortable because of the girls bringing their friends over. Mark also stayed back to complete the assignment, when he was done we left together to the love garden since it was the closest to the faculty, it was crowded with people as we searched for an empty, I wasn't a fan of crowded places but it was much worse being in the hostel by this time.

From the looks of things, a lot of lecturers were absent as students paraded the love garden, the love garden was a chilling ground for a lot of students, it was the closest to the faculty of art, the senate building and the law faculty and so it attracted a lot of students. When we finally found a spot to sit we talked about random things, he talked about himself while I listened, I learnt Mark was the only child of his parents, he was from a very poor home where his family struggle for their daily manna, His Mom was down with a stroke and his dad who was a mechanic is working hard for his mom in the hospital and his academic. His life story was dad but it was difficult to know because he was always cheerful.

THE MEETING

The principal summoned lectures from all departments for a meeting in the Morning, they converse on yesterday's incident as they made plans on how to disclose the victim's death to the parent who have already been invited, they also made plans to resolve the conflict between The white mafia and the .

Some of the high rank members of the white mafia and were invited to the meeting after a decision has been reached in order to avoid bloodshed on campus. Seven members came from the while they waited for members of the white mafia to arrive, they waited for hour but they were yet to show up as the uproar came from the black vipers who insisted the meeting begin.

Lecture 1: Oh great!! It is almost 4pm, I'm sure that they're coming.
Principal: watch your mouth! They will surely come
Escape(male) - papi wetin sup nah? We don too dey here too long.
Principal: Keep your mouth shut!! The only reason I acknowledge your existence is because I do not want bloodshed neither do I want you hooligans to sully the school's name!
Airlord(male): Ahhh....no be so!! that bastard waste one of our own, he don price market and he must pay!
Lecturer: Please keep your voice down.
Alora(female): Forgiveness is a sin! Blood for blood

While they went on talking a female member of the white mafia entered *It reeks of dogs in here, since when are peasants allowed in here?*

@tracyberry, i assume you wanted to type "vice chancellor" instead of "principle" since we are dealing with an higher instition here.
Secondly, you need to go through you write ups. There are some typos and incomplete sentences too.

Rebirth chapter 27


While they went on talking a female member of the white mafia entered *It reek of dogs in here, since when are peasants allowed here?*
They all turned to see a tall, dark female in white attire and glasses standing at the door as the vice chancellor went to her and looked behind her *"where are the others?"* he asked with a perplexed expression, *My name is Mira, I came alone, it's just a minor case but I'm curious what those dogs are doing here? What's the deal?* she said with an upset look on her face as the vice chancellor tried to explain things to her, when she finally calmed down, she went and sat down.

Vice chancellor: perhaps you all know why I held this meeting but I will explain to avoid wasting much of your time, since there was a misunderstanding between you students I hope it could be resolved *"he turned to the members of who were all seated at the left angle" I want you all of you to apologize to her!
Escape: Eh...which level nah?
Vice chancellor: hey... You should count yourself lucky that I didn't expel you students, don't forget your place just because you were invited here, apologize and get out!

They lowered their head in anger and shame while Mira relaxed with a smirk on her face as she observed them. Airlord stood up and approached Mira, he clenched his fist tight while he bit his lip, it was as if he struggled to muster out a word... *we.... We're sorry.... for everything.....* after some seconds of silence, Mira stood up with a stoic expression as she went closer to him and spoke with a calm voice *huh? I couldn't hear you clearly, what the hell was that? Do you perhaps feel you're important? You carry yourselves like you're some shit just because we ignored your existence and now you think you are the real deal?* she brought out a gun hidden beneath her waist which was covered by her big white sweater and shot him on his knees as he fell on ground and scream in pain... *This is your place on campus, you should always stay down, now apologize again!* she said while the other members panicked as they rushed to Airlord. The vice chancellor quickly knelt down apologizing to her, he shouted at the other members of who were focused on helping one of their own, The hall was filled with tension as most of the lecturers joined in begging Mira, while she stared at them with contempt. Having seen the case at hand, the members knew they were helpless as they all went down on their knees with their heads down and apologized. After an emotional apology made by them, Mira burst into laughter while they all kept quiet *heheheheh... seriously what a group of clowns, few minutes ago you were all acting tough now you're sulking like babies....sigh this is boring I'm out* and she took her leave. When she left they all breathe a sigh of relief while the members of the rushed Airlord to the school clinic.

The lecturers began to take their leave one after the other while some sat back and converse among themselves about the event, One of the male lecturer who has been observing without saying a word went closer to the vice chancellor.

Male lecturer - uhm...excuse me sir, I'm sorry to bother you but what's so special about this white mafia? I mean you can expel them for the safety of the other students.
"The vice chancellor quickly reacted as he shouted at him which drew the attention of other lecturers *keep quiet!!!* the male lecturer flinched in surprise when he saw the expression on the vice chancellor's face, it was a mixture of anger and fear, the hall was quiet for some seconds after which a female lecturer came closer to apologize on his behalf".
Female lecturer - I'm sorry sir, he is actually new, he hasn't been here for up to two weeks.
Vice chancellor - "In a loud voice" Is that an excuse or was he raised in a desert? Sigh... Little wonder why he spoke careless. I have been caught up with a lot of things lately. "he turned to the male lecturer" you should be careful with your words around the campus and focus on your job. The white mafia are not merely a group of students although they tend to be violent but there's nothing I can do about it. Miss Stephanie please explain to him.
Miss Stephanie - Okay sir, "she turned to the male lecturer with a straight face" Few years ago the government were low on it's finance for it's expenditure, it got worse over time as they tried to get a loan from The international monetary fund (IMF) but it was a futile effort since the government still had an old debt yet to be paid, there was shortage of food which led to inflation as many companies were on the verge of closing down, schools went on strike as many lecturers protested of being owned for months.
Male lecturer - oh!!! I recalled that incident, it was the riot and protest that made me travel abroad to further my studies but why are you telling me about the incident?
Miss Stephanie - you are being impatient just listen to the end.
Male lecturer - oh I'm sorry.
Miss Stephanie - Frank lucas, A political prestige who assisted the Nigerian government, he is considered to be one of richest man in the world. He had an agreement with the government and in exchange he has a major influence in a lot of universities and college in the country. It was through his influence that the situation has been normalized, through his connections other countries assisted us in their specialization. The white mafia are under him and are not to be messed with.
Vice chancellor - What is your name young man?
Male lecturer - my name is Ayomide.
Vice chancellor - Ayomide With that being said, I hope you will be more sensible and careful from now on, it's a hassle cleaning after the student's mistakes, I wouldn't want to bother about you too. I still have a meeting to attend to, Good day.
Ayomide - Okay sir.

The lecturers left one after the other while some stayed back to give in some reports, while Ayomide was walking alone, a female voice shouted his name *Ayo!* he turned back and saw miss Stephaine with some group of lecturers, she waved at him and signaled him to wait while she walked quickly to meet him.

Stephaine - Sorry to bother you but can we talk? I won't waste much of your time.
Ayomide - sure!!
Stephanie - let's look for a place to seat first.

When they found an empty spot In the senate building with few people, it was a dark corner which made Ayomide uncomfortable but he chose not to show it, they sat down while Stephanie looked around before facing Ayomide.

Stephanie - I don't know if it is my place to tell you this but I felt you should know this much to avoid troubles in the future.
Ayomide - I don't understand.
Stephanie - About Frank lucas, the things I told you about him are true but that's not all, I felt it would be inappropriate to say this in there. Actually Frank is a drug lord and that was how he got his wealth, he has the largest drug syndicate and that was how he was able get into his political position. The reason he assisted Nigerian government was to promote and expand his drug cartel, the white mafia are elites that oversee to it. Offending them is like offending Frank. So I hope you will be careful Ayo? Ayo *"Ayomide looked pale and scared from what he heard, he thought of the negative effect of offending them, while he was in deep thoughts, Stephanie tapped him on his shoulder and he jumped in surprise."*
Ayomide - ahhh.. I.. I'm sorry.
Stephanie - no need to apologize, as long as you do your job, they won't be problem *"she said and smiled at him, he feigned a smile and excused himself back to his house."*

MEANWHILE...

Mark and I went to discussing about various stuff from books to music to movies, he was quite the talkative but it felt comforting listening and responding when necessary.

Mark - hmm....I always thought you were anti-social.
Me - why did you say so?
Mark - well.. Let's see, *"he raised his head up and placed his finger on his chin like he was thinking*" you always kept a straight face In class, you never Converse with other people aside that girl.. Uhm I forgot her name.
Me - you mean Chioma?
Mark - Ahh yes!
Me - You are quite observant but I don't see the need to interact with people when I have nothing to say to them.
Mark - well you can try to come up with something, in order to make friends you need to come up with interesting topics that pique their Interest.
Me - *"I turned to him with a serious face"* you seem to misunderstand something, I never said I wanted to make friends, keeping a lot of girls as friends is like building a group of gossipers, I hate noisy people and having a lot of male friends is troublesome and might get awkward when one of them confess an unsure feeling filled with curiosity to their youth.

He stared at me for some seconds after which he burst into laughter, it was pretty loud which attracted stares from the students around.

Mark - You are really amusing, you sound so serious which made me recall when I kissed you in the lagoon, you looked like a helpless puppy back then.
Me - Ho....how did we get to this?!!
Mark - I'm sorry my bad but you are cute when you are defenseless.

He kept teasing me while I played defensive but deep down I felt a warm feeling and happiness when he called me "cute", that was the first time I was complimented for no reason. We lost track of time while talking and when I made a move to leave, he insisted on escorting me to my hostel. when we got to the gate I bid him farewell like it was our last day on earth, He smiled in response and left.

SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE CAMPUS
It was a storey building beautifully decorated on the outside, and on the inside there was a big room upstairs, it was filled with members of the . The room was quiet, the light was dim and the air was filled with the smell of weed and alcohol. A deep voice who sat a little far from the others spoke up *!!! Mummy no suppose run H.I.T, unto nah him be symbol of purity and he no go stain 4 any reason, and if men move, nah sexy dey clear coast. We suppose reason this people matter, you feel me?*

Sorry for the late update [/quote
thanks for the update @tracyberry. I actually saw some words which I think you should cross check. gossipers I think it should be gossips.

also I must criticize this this script below. it seems unrealistic and contradict the real world setting.
I might be wrong though, so I stand to be corrected.


Vice chancellor: perhaps you all know why I held this meeting but I will explain to avoid wasting much of your time, since there was a misunderstanding between you students I hope it could be resolved *"he turned to the members of who were all seated at the left angle" I want you all of you to apologize to her!

welcome... back....always coming online to check ur post

Rebirth

I laid on my bed staring at my phone which was next to me, the time was 10:20 pm, the room was dark and quiet and I was the only one in the room, the rest were out. The feeling of restlessness and boredom made it difficult to sleep as I took my phone and turned it on, I checked for new notification like I was expecting a call or text, they were very few apps on my phone, I found it a waste of time and effort in putting games and social media apps which was of no benefits to me, WhatsApp was the only social media app on my phone. After some minutes of strolling effortlessly without opening any app, I tossed the phone aside and got out of bed as I went in front of the window, the view was quite bobbling.

Even though it was already late, the street lights shone brightly on the campus street which was filled with students moving about in groups. There were cars parked In front of moremi hostel with guys in front of the gate who seem like they were waiting for their girlfriends, some students queued up in the cab park. The view quickly bore me since it showed no interesting significance, I took out my book to study which lasted for few minutes. While I was studying, my phone rang as I quickly checked and saw it was a message from mark *"hey….are you awake?"*, I felt a sigh of relieve as I relied him *"Isn't it a given to be asleep by this time?"* his reply was funny as the chat went on.

Few minutes later Sonia came in, she was my roommate and the female whose hand I twisted at our first meeting, she was aggressive, ill-mannered which made her unapproachable to the other roommates. She turned on the light she said as she looked around, when our eyes met, she looked away as she went to her bed and lie down, covering herself with a big blanket. She looked pale and quiet unlike her usual self when she picked a fight over everything, while she was heading to her bed, I noticed her face was bruised and her mouth had little blood in it, It was none of my concern as I went on chatting, I ended up sleeping by 1:15am. I was able to get up early as I prepared for class, the weather was cloudy and dark that morning as I hurried to class. when I got to class the hall was almost filled with students, there was a particular group of guys and girls who were having an intense argument and I spotted mark among them as I went in. mark signaled me to seat next to him as I went and sat next to him, I took out a book I was reading last night and continued from where I stopped while the argument went on.

Female 1: How can you call yourself a man after killing five people when you can only kill one person?
Male 1: And that's supposed to make you justifiable for killing one person?
Female 2: there's no respect for human life in his case!!
Mark: Agreed!! But murder is murder irrespective of the number of people but let's move on, here's an interesting case…… A famous nineteenth century legal case involving a ship wrecked crew of four. After nineteen days lost at the sea without food and water, the captain decides to kill the weakest amongst them the young cabin boy who appears to be dying from the sea water he drank, so that the rest can feed on his blood and flesh to survive. When they couldn't bear the hunger anymore, the captain took a dagger he always wore on his waist and stabbed the boy until he died after which they ate his flesh and drank his blood. Ten days later they were rescued by a Germany ship and taken back to London but was arrested for killing one of their crew member so imagine you are the chief judge to decide their fate, what would you pled?


Everyone was quiet for three seconds, I raised my eyebrows in interest of the case, I was attracted by the case as I listened while holding my book like I was studying, mark closed his tab when he was done reading the cases and said *So what are your opinions?* as one of the girls shouted *"Guilty Guilty Guilty, Is that even a debate?"*

Mark: now calm down! You shouldn't decide without hearing the full story, the young cabin boy was an orphan while the other guys had wives and children waiting for them.
Female 1: even more reason why they should be persecuted!!! They are heartless and wicked.
Female 2: They is a possibility that they were mentally affected by hunger as they were not in their right state of mind
Male: True! I can't imagine going a day without food and yet they stayed for nineteen days without food
Female 1: (In a loud) That doesn't justify their action…….. (Mark turned to me while the book was over my face)
Mark: what do you think Baby?
Me: My opinion doesn't matter!
Mark: I still want to hear it.
Me: I can't argue with a bunch of people who easily get emotional that they cannot see the truth in front of them. (my statement caught the group's attention as they all turned to me, the girl from earlier wore a frown on her face and said …..
Female 1: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Me: To bluntly put it, you are letting your emotion misguide your judgement, if the young cabin wasn't sacrificed they all would have died! The young cabin boy was an orphan and he has no one waiting for him but the other men all had wives, children and families, a little sacrifice was intended to keep them alive. If I was the chief judge I would pled them innocent!
Mark: Cannibalism is objectionable and morally incorrect
Me: Numbers matters and so I think It is morally reprehensible, necessity doesn't justify account.
Mark: Even still! It is categorically wrong, there is Lack of value for human life
Me: UTILITARIANISM!!
Mark: huh?
Me: the theory measures the greatest good for the greatest number, The action theory that something should be directed towards achieving the greater happiness for the greater number of people. Would you have prefer all of them losing their lives? increasing the rate of single mothers and such children might grow up to be delinquents depending on the mother's action. If you still find it wrong then you need to make more research for your argument.

Everywhere was quiet for some seconds which made the atmosphere awkward, that was when I realized we had attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, one of the male amongst us broke the silence *"I thought we weren't supposed to get emotional during argument?"* (they all burst into laughter while I breathe a sigh of relief.
While they went on arguing, they didn't notice the heavy pour outside, the lecturer didn't show up that day and so we left early when the rain has stopped. while I and mark were heading out, the group from earlier came to us, they made suggestion to go to sport center to relax, at first I refuse but mark was persistent and I eventually gave in. we took a cab to sport center, even though everywhere was wet the place was bustling with students, some flashy cars were parked outside and inside. When we got inside everyone suddenly stopped, I looked up to see what was holding them when I saw one of the male white mafia, he was crowded by girls.

Mark: uhm..maybe we should go somewhere else, I have a bad feeling about this place.
Female: If we mind our business then we can avoid trouble, it's not like they own the school
Male: that's true, let's find a place to seat first.

We walked around looking for a place to seat when we noticed the crowd of girls, the place was pretty crowded and so we moved closer to catch a glimpse of the event.

Welcome back.

Nawa oh nice work sha

Welcome back!

Rebirth chapter 29

We walked around looking for a place to seat when we noticed the crowd of girls, the place was pretty crowded and so we moved closer to catch a glimpse of the event. Oblivious to the surrounding as I walked along aside the group, I thought about today's debate, my mistakes as I decided to search it out on the internet. I took out my phone and went on YouTube, they were a lot of recommendations videos when I typed "Utilitarian theory". While going through the video I didn't notice when I was left behind. I was caught up by the throng, losing sight of the people I came with as I kept focus on my phone. The loud scream of the girls startled me as I look up and found myself lost in the midst of a lively crowd. I was able to take a peek of the reason for the crowd's excitement, there was a tough game going on between the guys, they were really good-looking with nice body. Little wonder why the girls were exhilarated.

It was doubting to believe it rained hours' ago, though the floor was still wet, the atmosphere was hot and uncomfortable from the sun which shone brightly from the sky. I struggled hard and pushed my way through the crowd, *"What's so interesting about guys throwing balls around?"* I asked rhetorically alluding to the noisy crowd. I look around with hope of finding Mark when someone gently pat me on the shoulder, I turned and saw a well-dressed girl smiling at me, *"Hi! Can you come with me for a moment?"* she said, pointing to a way which leads to the football field. *"Huh?"* I said with a perplexed expression, not sure of how to respond since it was too sudden. *"Actually someone would like to speak with you"* she said,*"It won't take too much of your time"* she said when she read the expression of discomfort on my face. I went with her since she didn't seem like she would back out if I had refused, I thought perhaps it might be mark and the other guys but that was just me trying to convince myself to go with her. While we were going someone called out my name, I turned and saw Chioma waving at me as she ran in my direction, she was wearing a big pink sweater with it's length on her thigh and a pop sock which seem like the color of her skin and a wig which was shoulder length, she looked like one of those Korean female idol who cosplay. When she got closer to me, she pulled me into a voluminous folds of her sweater and held her there for sometimes. *"How have you been? I missed you!! What are you doing here? Are you alone?"* she went on talk incessantly. *"That's my line, where have you been?"* I said with deep struggle while still in her arms.

*"uhm..excuse me"* the girl interrupted in order to remind me of her waiting as I freed myself of chioma's hold, *"oh right!! I'm sorry, let's go"* I said as we proceed. *"where are you going and who is she?"* Chioma asked while she followed me. *"she said someone wants to speak with me and No! I don't know her"* I answered with ease when she held out my hand. *"what the hell!! You don't know her and you are going with her? I don't have a good feeling about this, do you casually go to people just because they want to speak with you?!"* she said with a worried look on her face. *"it's okay…I already agreed to go with her but if you are not comfortable with it, you can wait for me here I won't take long"* I said with a smile to reassure her. She breathe a sigh of relieve and went with me *"you are really something".* when we got out the female who was leading us took a left turn that was when I noticed a group sitting together, she took us to them, one of the guys looked familiar but I couldn't recall where I have seen him before. There were eight in number including the female who came to call me, three guys and five females, I recognized one of the females as a 3rd year student of the Law department, she was a white girl and her name is Ella, she once interrupted a lecture going on with the first year and took the lecturer away when she whispered something to him, they were rumors of her being a Law eminent with a magnificent accent. The other faces were unknown to me but they seem like students, they all wore flashy outfits with drinks before them. The female who brought us there offered me a seat which I refused on the ground that I was in a hurry. *"you are as impatient as ever Baby!!"* Shadow said with a grin. *"you shouldn't refuse when someone is being nice to you, now sit down!"*

I felt intimidated by his presence and words as I sat down, Chioma already sat down the first time she was offered a seat with her head down. The atmosphere felt awkward like it was difficult to breathe, strange thoughts filled my mind as I struggled to stay calm, my thoughts were interrupted by Shadow. *"Anyways…How have you been? You ran away from me last time before we could talk"* he said and took a sip from the glass of wine beside him, I kept thinking hard where we have met but I couldn't recall. "*I'm doing fine but I don't think we have met before".* Everyone was quiet for a moment, My word left his group surprised as they all turned to me, Glory laughed out loud while Shadow remained quiet with a straight face. *"This is actually the first time someone forgot you after encounter, Ella said and kept laughing. *"Hey Baby! Are you sure you haven't met him before? How can you forget meeting someone like him?"* Chioma whispered, *"please think hard or we might get in trouble!".*

*"Perhaps I should apprise her of the details"* Ella said and stood up from her seat and walked up to me, she was wearing a mini black skirt over a white shirt with some of the buttons opened which revealed her cleavage and she had glasses on. *"How can you quickly forget your benefactor? This is really amusing! You forgot the guy who caused an uproar for your sake? Is he that irrelevant"* she asked and burst into laughter as Shadow thumped at the empty chair beside him *"That's enough!!"* he said while glaring at Ella. At that moment I remembered him but I couldn't recall his name, I kept mute watching at the event playing in front of me. *"Why? You always felt you were important but you are just one irrelevant Sod!"* Ella said as she glared back at him.
*"Bitch pipe down down for a moment, can't you see I'm having a conversation here"* Shadow said as Glory quickly retorted *"Don't treat me like your underling you bloody wog"*
*"Sigh….keep your racist attitude to yourself"*
*"Now…that's enough! Your constant fights is getting boring, don't wrangle in front of our guest."* one of the females who has focused on her phone said which seem to have prevented an unforeseen circumstance. Shadow stared at Glory for some seconds and then turned to me, *"it doesn't matter, never mind it".* he said and handed me an invitation card. *"I will be celebrating my Birthday next week Saturday, I hope to see you there! You can go now since you seem to be in a hurry".* I stood up and left along with Chioma without saying a word. Chioma took my hand and led me outside the gate, when we got outside she took a deep breath and turned to me *"What the hell was that!!! You never told me you knew the white mafia?"* she said in a loud voice while she kept breathing hard like she ran a marathon race, I place my hands on her shoulder *"you are making a big deal of this, if only you would calm down and allow me to explain"* I said bemused and hoping she would calm down, I had a lot of unanswered question on my mind. *"B..But still how can you easily forget someone who saved you?!!"* she said while making gestures with her hands. *"Calm down! You are making a scene"* I directed my eyes at the students around and some passersby who were staring at us, Chioma looked around and noticed the stares which made her winced.


We took a cab to my hostel to talk in order to avoid further embarrassment, when we got to the room, there were some girls around, I found Sonia on her bed going through her system with a headphone struck to her ear, she didn't seem like the one who brought the girls, it was difficult enough living with three other people in a room yet Lisa is constantly bringing friends which feels like a disrespect and invasion to one's privacy. When I went inside the room I found some girls on my bed, my bedsheet was rumpled from with one of my pillows on the floor. Sonia glanced at me for a second and looked away with the expression that says "I don't know them". I tried to suppress my anger from attacking those girls as I turned back and left *"I'm getting a room outside school this week!!".* Chioma offered me to stay with her that night since she lived outside school before we went to the lagoon since it was normally quiet, when we got there we quickly spotted a place to seat, *"well…explain what today was all about". Chioma said as she gestured with her hand, I explained the incident about mark, how he kissed me in front of those cultist which almost got us into trouble until Shadow intervened and killed one of them and how we ran away to avoid getting involved. *"Is that so?"* was all Chioma could say as she shook her head wistfully. *"you seem to know about them, who are the white mafia? And what's special about them?"* I asked with a serious expression on my face. Chioma took a minute before replying me, her attitude quickly change and she said in a cold voice "I don't know their origin! Even the vice chancellor is unable to go against them and that's nothing new, they comprises of elites whose parents are big shot in different field, rumors have it if you offend one of them, you won't be able to graduate."*

*"eh?"* left my mouth with an expression that says "I am not falling for that story!" It felt like a fictional comic story to me, Chioma's expression left me dumbfounded since she kept a serious face which made it difficult to tell if she was lying. *"I know you do not believe me, even I once taught of it all to be bullcrap until I witnessed it myself, it was last year during my brother's matric, Everyone were high with joy and celebration, though I'm not sure how it happened but a guy mistakenly spilled his drinks on one of the white mafia which led to an argument, the following day we heard he was expelled, no university in Nigeria accepted him since then"* she said as I interrupted her *" Is that even possible?"* I said bewildered by my lack of knowledge of the things going on around me. *" Yes! It might sound unbelievable but it happened and I know of this because he was my brother's friend (tears freely flow down her cheeks), even private universities wouldn't accept him when his dad offered a huge amount of money in return. I heard about many incidents enough to convince me that their presence was a threat to other students. There are things going on around us which are not explainable as we find them impossible but that doesn't make them impossible so please stay away from them, I'm not sure of the reason behind their powers but being involved with them would get you in serious trouble"* she said and wiped off her tears. I couldn't bring myself to say a word as she kept crying, I felt a stingingly feeling at my chest, unable to tell what it meant as she looked away. My phone rang as I brought it out of my bag and checked the caller and saw it was mark, *"excuse me for a minute"* I said and took up to take the call while she wiped the tears off her face.

*"Where did you keep your phone!! I have been trying to reach you for a long time and where are you? We have been looking for you, though others left saying they had something to do, I'm still in sport center, where are you?"* mark went on talking incessantly with concern, I felt a relief in my heart that he called, diverting my attention from Chioma's story to mark's load of questions which kept coming, his voice relieved my heart, making me lose track of the things he was saying. *"Hello…Hello!! Are you there?"* he asked which brought back to reality as I answered him. "*yes, I couldn't hear you clearly before"* I lied to avoid more questions of why I kept mute. *"Where are you?"* he asked again, *"I'm at the lagoon right now, it's a long story"* I answered, hoping he won't launch more questions, I turned and saw Chioma holding her looking all set to go with her face clear and smooth like she never cried and lips shining from the lip-gloss, she had applied make-up to her face. After call ended and I went with Chioma to my hostel to get some clothes I needed tonight and for tomorrow's lecture since I will be with her tonight. When we got to the hostel, Lisa's friends were gone and my bed has rearranged though there were sand on my bed, when Lisa saw me she came to apologize about earlier concerning her friends but I ignored her, took the necessary things I needed and left with Chioma.

Chioma's apartment wasn't far from school, It was a storey building. it had a beautiful decoration on the outside with mixed colors of paintings and flowers, On the inside it was spacious with exotic decorations. Her apartment was a two bedroom flat, I always thought it was too much for one person since she told me she doesn't like staying with other people in the same room. While we were heading inside we heard some noises and when we got inside we found some guys involved in a game Tirade and Chioma's boyfriend was among them. I gave Chioma the expression of "What is happening here?" since I thought she lived alone which was why I accepted her offer, but she seem rather upset to notice my expression. *"ahem!!"* she said to get their attention when they finally turned to us, *"Hey Babe"* Dave pulled Chioma close to him and kissed her on her lips while the other guys went into rumpus *"Dave no be so oh," you just leave game follow girl."* Chioma freed herself off his grip and took me to her room, *"I'm sorry you had to watch that scene, I had no idea that he invited his friends, don't worry I will scold him later"* she said with a sobered expression while I stared at her with doubts but she didn't seem to have notice my skepticism. *"You never told you live with your boyfriend"* I said as I lay my head down on the pillow, I immediately notice the big teddy bear sitting beside the pillow, *"Well you never asked, let me get you something to eat"* she answered and ran out to avoid further question. After having the meal, I slept off, feeling exhausted from today's activities, I woke up late in evening and found myself alone in the room, the room was dark as I stood up and head to the door, when I opened it, the palour was dim and I heard some voices *"N..no not here! Baby might see us"* Chioma whispered, *"Don't worry, she's asleep, so focus on me"* Dave said and kissed her before she could say another word, sucking on her lower lip while she caressed his hair. Pushing her down the couch as he removed her bra and sucked on her nipples, she moaned in pleasure with her legs wrapped around him, she pulled his head up and they continued kissing. I felt so engrossed with the scene that I didn't notice when my hand pushed the door while it creak, alarming the couple as Dave raised his head….. *"Who's there?"*

Rebirth 30

I felt so engrossed with the intense scene before me, Chioma's reaction to Dave's touch had a weird reaction to my body, it felt like a live porn which raised my curiosity to poke my head further outside, I was so focused on the scene before me that my hand which was struck to the doorknob pushed it by mistake while it creaks, alarming the couple of someone's presence as Dave raised his head *"who's there!!?"* I panicked, unsure of what to do as I went back inside and called out for Chioma again and again until she answered *"Give me a moment, I'm coming."* Having ruined the couple's moment of making out. Chioma wore her clothes back and came to me, I felt so awkward that looked away, I couldn't look her in the face but she was able to read my expression as she giggled and sat beside me, *"Were you watching us?"* she asked softly, *"I don't know what you are talking"* I answered with my eyes staring at windows which was now dark while I ran my fingered through the face of the teddy bear. *"You do realize you are terrible at lying"* she asked, when I turned to her, she wore a mischievous smile on her face with her elbow resting on one of the pillows, which made me uneasy as I took my phone and stood up, *"I'm going for a stroll"* I said and opened the door when I came face to face with Dave who sprawled across the couch, my presence seem to exasperated him more, *"uhm…i..i will going for a stroll, might return late"* I said alluding to sexually activity as I exited, it felt suffocating and awkward in there. When I got out I noticed the drizzle with dry leaves flying around, I should go in and take an umbrella but I don't want to go back in there, I might disrupt another special moment of theirs.

I thought of a place to go as I took off on foot, even though it was just a drizzle the wind was strong and cold, while passing by I saw a public pub, it brought back memories of my previous life, I went in since the weather was cold and I needed a distraction, while I was heading inside, my phone rang, I checked the caller and saw it was Mark. We talked to a particular length, the music being played in the pub was loud which got him curious to know where I was, which I told him, he asked for the address that he was coming to meet which I told him, after the call ended I went in to wait for him and had something blend to make up for the weather. After minutes later he called as I went out to meet him, he was wearing a cardigan over a long brown trouser, his brown eyes match his eyelash which was full and a bit long like that of a female, his dark face was more attractive with his lower pink lip. I stood there admiring him when he broke the silence *"you drink?"* he asked softly, *"I'm standing In front of a pub, what do you think I'm doing here? Sightseeing?"* I asked nonchalantly. He laughed and took my hand *"Have it your way, I hope you can hold your liquor? I don't intend to take a drunk out of here"* I freed my hand off his grip while we head inside *"That's my line, anyways drinks on me so don't hold back"* I said beaming with confidence. *"Don't get the wrong idea, I don't intend to drink alcohol but I will enjoy watching you get drunk"* he said with a smuggled look on his face, I paused and moved closer to him to make gest of him*"oh are you scared you would get drunk and embarrass yourself in front of me?"* I asked with a mocking laugh, he wore a frown on his face for a moment *"That's not possible"* he said, *"I will believe that if you are able to take five bottles with getting drunk"* I interjected.

Mark smiled mischievously at me and made a suggestion which gave me a bad feeling, *"How about this….let's have a drinking contest with mixtures, loser has to do whatever the winner want, are you down for it?"* he asked, I hesitated at first since I haven't drank alcohol with this body but I thought perhaps that was his plan and I quickly accepted his challenge and we went in. few minute later I was so drunk that I could hardly move around while mark was still sober, reddening around my cheek and nose as Iay on the table inebriated. Mark shook his head wistfully *"I knew this was a bad idea, sigh…what do I do with you now?"* he asked rhetorically with a worried look on his face, I raised my head and fiddled his hands which rested on the table*"shut it! Quit whining.."* I said and reach out for my drink when mark snatched it from me, *"that's enough already"* he said while I tugged at his cardigan, while he lost in his thoughts my phone rang which got his attention, he picked it without checking caller in hope of it being someone who might help me get home. *"Hello Baby! When will you get back? Do you intend to stroll the whole of Lagos state?"* Chioma asked in a teasing tone, *"Hello….my name is Mark, a friend of hers', I can't explain In details what happened but Baby is drunk and unable to walk on her own, can you come outside your hostel to pick her?"* he asked hoping she was her roommate, *"hol up hol up, she what!! Sigh…where are you, give me the address and I will be there"* she said, Dave apprised her of the location, the call ended after given her the details.

Dave helped me up, draping my hand around as we walked out of the pub while I kept spouting nonsense, it was already dark as car lights passing by beautified the night, the rain continued unabated with a strong wind. Mark cursed himself as he and I left the pub, I almost made a fall when he caught me, stubbing my toes on a paving stone along the road as I cried out in pain, which exacerbated the situation, mark tried to console me *"Does it hurt that much?"* he asked while he wiped my tears, I nodded sulking and sniffing like I was trying to hold back my tears. *"I'm sorry okay? Don't cry anymore"* he said and patted me on me on my head while I nodded obediently. He rested my head to chest with his hands on my waist to avoid me from falling. I raised my head and look at him, that was when I noticed he was pretty tall, the incident from earlier came to my mind which raised my curiosity as I pulled Mark closer and pressed my lips against his. Surprised and perplexed, Mark pulled back, *"w…what was that for?"* he asked not sure of what to make of it, *"I… was just curious, people seem to like locking lips"* I said as I clambered in his arms. *"your attitude suddenly change when you are drunk yet your able to think of indecent things"* he said, I shivered in his arms because of the cold, he took off his cardigan upon noticing and wore me. Not long after that Chioma called and asked of our where about, she was close by and before long they met, mark went with Chioma to ensure I got home safely.

The following morning I was woken by the sunlight which slowly made it's way through the window, I tried to get up but every part of my body hurt like hell, I was down with a throbbing headache and the pain got worse whenever I tried moved. I lay still, looking around the room, it was a different room from the one I slept yesterday, it was decorated all-white, from the white floral curtain, big sized bed covered with a white bedsheet and blanket where I lay, there was a glass table with a black and white vessel on it and a brown big ward wore by the side. "what the hell happened last night? I was with mark and while drinking I slowly lost my self, could it be? I got drunk?? Goddammit!! I actually got drunk, I hope I didn't embarrass myself last time but whose room is this?" I thought to myself as I stood up from the bed holding my head, I looked around and found out it was empty. While I was looking around the room Chioma opened the door all dressed up with a big bag hanging around her shoulder and an expression filled with questions. *"Good morning"* I said, feigning a smile to break the awkward atmosphere, *"yeah it's a good morning for you! sigh….you are putting on an innocent face after causing me so much trouble last night."* she said with a pale expression. *"anyways I'm off to class, you should rest, either way you are late, just stay home"* she added before heading when I called her back, *"Wait up! What happened last night?"* I asked with an expression filled with desperation but Chioma went ahead with few words that left bemused, *"Why don't you ask your boyfriend from last night, you should rest too, you can have that room since we have no use for it either I'm running late, let's talk later bye…".*

I pulled off mark's cardigan which was getting uncomfortable and hot, and tossed it aside, undressed completely and went to take a shower after which I changed my outfit. I checked my phone's notification for any message when I saw several messages from mark and missed calls from my mom, skipping the missed calls I tapped on mark's message and texted him back, In less than two seconds my phone vibrated I checked and saw it was a message from mark, he went on typing incessantly….. *"how are you feeling now? Why aren't you In school yet? Aren't you coming? Are you there?"* I explained to him that I was okay when he offered for us to meet up later. We went on chatting even though he was in class, my memory felt blurry from last night but I recalled being in his arms which made my heart skip a beat, *"Did something happen last night?"* I asked, hoping there was more. *"No, why?"* he lied, thinking it might make me shy away from meeting him and he concluded I did in a drunken state. I felt somewhat disappointed as I tossed my phone aside and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, I couldn't understand this feeling of disappointed which left me depressed, the continuous ringing of my phone caught my attention when I picked it up and saw it was my mom, she could call everyday if she was chanced, she spoke with so much care, asking about my well-being and studies, her motherly words made me forget my worriedness for a minute as we talked for a while. At the end of our call, she offered to send me more money (even though I still had more than enough with me).

I slept for the remaining day to regain my strength and only woke up when chioma continuous tapped my shoulder *"wake up! Your phone has been ringing for a while now"* I raised my head and slowly opened my eyes to see Chioma's hand holding my phone which went on ringing. By the time I was done answering the call, I was fully awake. It was almost time for our meeting as I changed from one cloth to another, it was the first time I had problem choosing what to wear, the few clothes I had brought with me were scattered across the room as I was trying a three-quarter jean when Chioma walked in, *"Are you going out?"* she asked looking around the room. *"yeah!"* I answered while I struggled to pull off the Jean. *"who are you going to meet? Your boyfriend? Let me guess he was the guy from last night right?"* she asked with a mischievous smile. I felt my heart beat for a moment as I tried to explain to Chioma who kept an expression that says "I don't believe you!". *"Well no need to explain to me, let me help you out, you seem to have a terrible dress sense for event, it was your dressing last time that got us kicked out of the party".* she wore me a simple flair gown which was decorated with flowers and a light make-up. *"Done! Check it out"* she said as she handed me a mirror, I looked so beautiful and a bit different from my usual self.

I left for our agreed meeting place, when I saw him, he seem rather handsome with his dressing. When the atmosphere was getting awkward from silence, we talked class, world politics and the subject of society and who was best to critique it. *"I'm sorry for taking your time, your boyfriend might get upset if you take too much time"* he said, while staring at the sky like he was admiring the weather, it was obvious he was curious if I had one. *"I don't have one!".* I answered looking away. *"Then….would you go out with me?"* he asked, leaning closer while I looked away. I was happy yet I couldn't bring myself to answer him, when I turned to him, he was so close which make my heart skip a beat. *"Perhaps it is too sudden, but I really like you, everything about you, that sober expression, the condescending look in your eyes , I have never felt this way towards a woman. But you can take your time to give me a response if you need to think about it".* I blushed hard as I struggle to answer him, *"y…yes…… I will be your girlfriend!".* He lean closer as our nose touched and kissed me, I closed my eyes tight and left the rest to him, he was really good at it. We spent the evening together talking about our likes and dislikes and only went our separate ways when it was getting late. When I got home I laid on the bed thinking about the lovely evening and how it played out, while I was lost in my thoughts I heard Chioma's voice, they were at it again (they were having sex and it sounded intense), I thought to myself this crazy couples would have sex everyday if they had the opportunity, I ignored them and slept off with Mark's face in my mind.

The following morning was Saturday, I sat on the bed going through my phone with handouts scattered all over the bed when the door was knocked, *"Baby are you awake?"* Chioma continuously chant when I open the door, *"Good morning sweedy, how was your night?"* she asked cordially, *"it was short Thanks to someone who kept screaming like the gate of heavens has been opened to them"* I answered alluding to their noisy sexual event last night before heading back to my bed, *"yeahhh…it was heaven"* she said as she joined me on the bed. *"like…how are you able to go all night without sleep while you scream at the top of your voice without thinking of your neighbors? "* I asked with a perplexed expression, she tried to explain her raunchy adventure last night which I quickly interjected and went back pressing my phone. *"why are your handouts scattered all over the bed?"* she asked as she picked them, reading through sub-headings and further asking me questions about them, while I focused on my phone, musing on the instructions recommended to keep a relationship. When Chioma noticed that I wasn't listening to her, she craned closer and peered at my phone as she read it out loud *"How to maintain a good relationship! What the hell!*" she burst into laughter rolling over the bed. *"why are you reading articles on relationship? I thought you said you don't have a boyfriend? Ooooh I knew it! So that cutie is your boyfriend?"* she asked incessant questions while teasing me, I ignored her questions and asked her a question instead, from her explanation I became aware that the room I stay previously belonged to her boyfriend but they agreed to give it to me while they both use Chioma's room. Although I felt indebted to them but it was obvious I was used as an excuse for them to live in the same room.

The following week was lovely and pleasant, I felt like a new wedded bride, the relationship became obvious to our course mates who teased us by calling us Romeo and Juliet. Mark made me get use to us making out in public, we kissed anywhere and everywhere, though he was gentle whenever we make out he would never allow me to breathe until he was fulfilled, there was one time I invited him to my room, I had cooked and bought drinks with Celine Dion on track, he left the food and pulled me to the bed, running his hand under my top as he gently handle my breast, *"w…wait, let's eat first before it gets cold"* I said softly as I tried to hold back my voice, *"the food can wait"* he answered and kissed me on my neck and down my chest which sent a tingling reaction across my body before kissing my lips while his hands ran through all over my body but he never dare demand for sex even though I desired for more, I expected him to make the first move. It was a great feeling being cared and loved, everything was going fine until that Saturday evening.

Happy new month guys, babe was broke which is why the update came late, forgive moi.

Hope the situation has gotten better? Take care.

Rebirth 31


I told Mark about the Birthday party which he offered to go with me to ensure my safety, though I wasn't someone to be protected I was happy either way since he offered to accompany me . Saturday came by quickly, 5pm was the time schedule for the party, Chioma picked my dress and did my make-up, that evening while I was dressing, Dave notified us of Mark's presence in the parlor where he sat waiting for me, when I saw him he looked extremely handsome in the attire which I had bought for him for the party. Chioma and her boyfriend couldn't come with us on the ground that they were busy with other stuffs but that was just an excuse to avoid going to the party since she didn't want to get involve with the White Mafia. An Uber took us to our destination, when we got there, the party was being held in a big luxurious hotel, they were bouncers Outside, the whole hotel was reserved that day just for the party. Various variety of cars were parked outside with guest going in pair, most of which were matured men and women.

The invitation card was taken from my hand before we were allowed in and taken to the room where the event took place, it seem it was two persons per an invitation card which relieved me that Chioma didn't come along to avoid embarrassment. The party was a very big room which was beautifully decorated, the furniture was more aesthetic than functional, it also had a little exotic touch, several large chandeliers hung on the ceiling which brighten the room with two big pot crested with the symbol of Africa, carried long flowers resting on the wall. The walls were decorated with real paintings and photography that are expressive of the local artistic community. In the center of the room, there were staircase which led to other rooms in the upper buildings. The room was filled with people who stood in groups drinking and chatting, waiters and waitress in uniform walked around the room serving people drinks, they were very few students in the room, the rest were business men and women who seem to have different purpose of attending the party, American hip-hop song was on track with the volume at a minimum which allowed people to converse. They was a particular group of students who sat a bit distant from everyone else, their table was filled with drinks of different types and they were treated with respect by the other guest, I recognized just one female among them (it was Glory, the upper-class girl of the law dept.) Mark seem a bit nervous perhaps it was his first time attending a high class party or because of the people involved. We looked around and found a place to seat but the celebrant was now where to be found in the party.

While we sat down on the couch, a waiter came and offered us drinks which we took, I slowly sipped mine as I looked around when I noticed Glory staring at me, she smiled and whispered something to the girl beside her who turned to look at me, I didn't care about the musty, stuffy feel that came from the large upholstered couch as I looked away, feeling uncomfortable with their stares and whisper. Few minutes later Shadow came walking down from the stairs, accompanied by two females, when he got down, a middle age man wearing a white agbada which was embroidered golden with cigar in his mouth, he was accompanied by two men in black suit as he went to meet Shadow, *"Happy Birthday Shadow, I hope you like the gift I got for you?"* he said with a grin, *"Oh Thank you Alhaji, I loved it. The wrist watch must have cost you a fortune"* Shadow said, *"Oh that's nothing since it's you,let's find somewhere private to talk business"* he said, patting Shadow on the shoulder. *"Let's talk business later, it's my birthday and people are waiting for the celebrant or do you want me to delay my party for you?* Shadow asked jokingly which made Alhaji nervous as he removed his hand from Shadow's shoulder as he chosed his words carefully to avoid exasperating Shadow, *"oh please do not mind me, I got carried away, excuse me"* he said and walked away while Shadow went to greet the other guest.

When I saw Shadow I stood up to greet him while Mark sat back watching, *"Happy birthday uhm..I…I wish you the best"* I fumbled, thinking of his name which I do not recall, it might be odd to ask him in front of people. Oblivious to the throng Shadow held my waist and pulled me closer to him as he held me in an embrace *"Thanks, you look lovely by the way"* he whispered, *"what are you doing, let me go!"* I whispered vehemently, encumbered by his tight embrace I stood there surprised as I thought of Mark, hoping he wasn't watching, Glory sat at a distance watching I and Shadow while she scowl, Shadow's hand which was rested on my back slowly made it's way below, when it got to my waist I pulled back from his grip, agitated by his behavior as I wore a frown on my face and while he remained calm with a smile on his face. *"I'm sorry, I kinda lost myself in your beauty and I love the way you smell"* he said flamboyantly while I excuse myself with a frigid voice. I went to the place where Mark was seated, he was seething though he tried to stay calm, *"uhm well…this party is boring, wanna go home?"* I asked in order to break the awkward silence, *"Why? I thought you were having fun"* he answered nonchalantly sensing a sign of jealousy from his tone I guess he must have seen Shadow when he embraced me, I never thought he would get upset over such a minor issue, it made me happy and sad at the time. I thought perhaps I should give him space to cool his head, we both kept quiet while watching others enjoying the party, just when I thought the worse was over some group of students came walking down the staircase which caught the attention of the crowd who turned to them, I noticed the stares with all eyes looking up, I turned to check what they were looking at when my eyes met with one of the guys who stared at me for a moment before looking away. The group of students were accompanied by some bouncers who acted like their bodyguards.

when they got down they were greeted by the throng, while checking them out, I spotted Michael among the throng of people as he straggle behind them with a stoic expression, he was antipathetic to the ladies who approached him to hold a conversation as his replies were always short, he was blunt and rude as he excused himself from their presence when they persistently asked him questions about himself (Michael was the president of the student council in victory high school where I got expelled for violence and we had a little bit of history). I asked a waitress serving drinks for direction to the ladies bathroom after which I excused myself while Mark wore a dreich expression like a broken lover. I hurried to the bathroom to process everything happening before me, from Shadow's presumptuous behavior to Mark's façade of jealous and pettiness which was stereotyped which was unusual to his cheerful attitude and he didn't seem like he was ready for any explanation, Michael's appearance which may pose a problem to me, *"why the hell is he here? Why??"* I mused to myself thumping the wall as I recalled the embarrassing event which took place between us when we had sex under the influence of the drug, *"As long as we don't come in contact and Mark doesn't meet him, I have nothing to worry about"* I thought to myself which relieved me before I went back to the party. When I got to couch where I previously seated, Mark was nowhere to be found, I tried looking around for him when I bumped into someone, spilling drinks on him as I turned to apologize, *"Oh I'm so sorry, let me get you a tow…"* before I could finish my statement, my mouth hung up I surprise, I had mistakenly bumped into Michael while searching for Mark, *"I'm still waiting for the towel"* he interjected, interrupting my thought as I handed my hand towel to him. *"why don't you clean it"* he said nonchalantly while staring at me, I reached out to clean his suit when he held my hand and took me away from crowd whose attention were focused on us.

He took me to the group of students who sat a bit distant from the throng, looking closer they were given special treatment with food, drinks, scone and cake on their table, they were some waiter stand-by and ready to receive their orders. The couches were arranged on a circular form with two people per couch. While still holding my hand he took me to an empty couch and forcefully placed me beside him, *"Okay go on with the cleaning"* he said, resting back at the couch, I bit my lip in embarrassment as I nervously clean the suit, *"Sigh…it's a hassle confronting a persistent noisy crowd, anyways Why are you here? Who gave you an invitation card?"* he asked with his eyes on me, *"Is that a real question?"* I asked with my focus on his suit, *"I guess I'm making a conversation"* he answered. *"What part of that gives me anything to work with? My choice is to choose to say nothing, be sarcastic or answer your dumb question, this is not a conversation, you are holding me verbally hostage"* I said, which made him keep quiet as one of the females among them burst into laughter, *"you are really interesting, I guess there's a female who is able to put you in your place Mic".* I trace the voice to a female sitting beside Glory, she was the one whom she had whispered something to earlier. I stood up to leave after cleaning more than enough when someone called out *"Hey",* I turned and saw Glory staring at me petulantly as she gestured at me to come closer, I quickly regret listening to her as she assessed me from head to toes, *"I wondered what these guys see in you, just a pretty face, your tiddies aren't that big, same with your ass but I'm curious of something, how are you able to seduce them to listen to you? I mean if they shouldn't pay much interest in you if they had bang you"* she asked in an inebriated tone which made the female sitting next to her to laugh more, *"hehehehe…please stop Glory, you are a backward savage hehehehe".* *"I don't know what you have against me but Before what you are trying to do was called nagging, it was called reverse psychology, I won't haggle with a drunk"* I said and left while she kept calling me which I ignored her, Michael smiled to himself and said in a low voice *"she didn't change".*

*"That petty of shit, Drag her back here!"* Glory winced as the bouncers approached me when a male voice said *"That's enough!"* we all turned to see it was a guy who was seated among them this whole time with a book over his face, I didn't get to see his face but he seem to have a convincing authority over the others as the bouncers back down and Glory kept quiet, Although I didn't see his face but he has a pale, fair skin and his watch hung loosely around his small ankle. I was thankful to him in my heart as went to look Mark in order to leave the party. Shadow seem very busy with people, he had cut his birthday cake and it was being distributed to people. Rick Ross - push it was on track as people chatted, drank and ate to their satisfaction. While going around looking for Mark, I found him with a lady over him as they were kissing, I poured the aggression which I have been holding on them. *"Seriously? Are you that lonely that you carve for sexual intimacy with any lady that passes you by?"* I asked vehemently, he pushed the lady aside, as he reach for my shoulder, *"Wait… I can explain, it's not what you think!".* I brushed his hands away, *"Sure go ahead and explain how you are unable to control your lust or Is this revenge for earlier?"* I shrilled effusively while clasping my hand above her hair, as he tried to calm me down. *"Please calm down, your voice is too loud and this has nothing to do with that if only you would pipe down for a second and let me explain",* he interjected, the lady went closer to Mark and held his arm, *"Who is she mark?"* she asked, feigning innocence when Mark freed himself from her hold, *"Not now Trisha, Baby she is just a friend I met here and…"* before he could finish his statement, I was gone as he tried chasing after me. I couldn't believe how furious I was when I saw another woman's arm cross around his shoulder, I felt I beating her until she couldn't move. While heading to the door Shadow reached for my hand and called me out "*Hey sweetie, sorry I have been busy with the guest, let's.."* I slapped his hand away from mine, which attracted a few stares as he followed me outside. *"What the hell was that for? Do you emotional specie always get heated up over a touch?"it* he asked with a disappointed look. *"I'm sorry for earlier, let's talk later I can't do this now"* I said and made a move to leave when he held me by my waist, *"Okay if you need to cool your head, you can take a room from the Hotel, I will bring you a key"* he persisted while Mark came running up. When I saw him it made me more upset as I turned to shadow.

*"Jesus Christ what the Bleep is your problem, I already said I can't do this now and Thanks for the room but I will pass"* I sneered at him which exasperated him, *"where is that attitude coming from? Don't take my goodwill for an excuse to insult…,"* *"And don't hyrode me into giving in, to your fucking need for so called good intentions, Oh you think being here makes you special? Just because you had your birthday at some high class hotel you think you get to decide for people what they want, that's actually really sad, Because if you move the bar so low, you might think you are worth a Bleep"* I interrupted vehemently before storming off While Shadow, Mark and the Bouncers stood in there bemused and shocked at my statement. Shadow held his face and laugh hysterically while Mark chased after me before he could get to where I was, the bike drove off. *"Aboki you no sabi drive fast? Abeg speed up jor"* I shouted at the Hausa driver who retorted back, *"madam no dey shout me, I no see the road full? I no fit fly abeg"* he said with the Hausa accent which Infuriated me more as I went on shouting at him which distracted him as he retorted back, it happened so quick as my life flashed before my eyes, we didn't see the motorcycle in front of us which was coming at a high speed when both crashed at each other with full speed the motorcycle skidded into a parked vehicle, it sent me flying as I hit a moving car and fell down on ground with my head bleeding and bruise cuts all over my body, I couldn't feel the pains as I slowly lose consciousness with people around me calling for help, the Hausa driver suffered more casualties as people around kept screaming and crying, before shutting my eyes, I saw someone rushed to me while calling my name, I couldn't see the face, I was too weak to move or think as the light around me slowly fade and I passed out.
