MY LIFE IN CAMPUS (Episode 10)

Continuation Of EPISODE 10

I black out immediately. Bayo was still busy greeting his roommate while me and my roommate were ready for war. Emeka moved closer to me. I shifted backwards as he moved closer and closer. Bayo and Chinedu wondered what’s going on.

“Wetin dey happen na, Emeka?” Bayo interrogated.

Emeka deliberately deafened himself to Bayo. He moved closer to me. Bayo moved closer to him and pulled him backwards by the shoulder. Emeka angrily punched him on the face. Bayo fell down flat on the floor holding his face with his palm. Chinedu, I guess has been hinted by Emeka on the current issue between us. They both walked towards me; it appeared like a slow motion to me. I had my heart in my hands already. Their face were becoming more scarier. Suddenly I had a feeling that I can actually defeat Emeka but the feeling died in a jiffy when I saw Chinedu’s muscles.

“Na only you get power abi?” Chinedu said, hitting his right fist on his left palm.

“The bastard blow blow my jaw commot.” Emeka furiously added. “Bastard!”

“Emeka, abeg.” I pleaded, almost crying. “It’s not like that.”

Bang! Bang! Someone knocks at the door. Emeka and Chinedu turned around distracted.

“Who the hell is that?” Chinedu yelled.

“Na Usman.”

“Mallam wetin you want?”

“Abeg, my garri don finish.”

“Ehn Ehn. Wetin make I do?” Chinedu attacked. “Commot for there before I descend on you.”

As Emeka turned around to my direction, I dazed him with a punch on his face. Chinedu received his share when he turned around at the groan of Emeka. Bayo stood up quickly and it became a battle of two on two. I went for Emeka, my roommate while Bayo took on his roommate, Chinedu. I was ready to kill. I lost all my morals; Daddy and Mummy’s words of admonition evaporated. My fist were tight and hard. Emeka showed his local traditional fighting skill. He cunningly went beneath me and raised me up like a tournament trophy. I blew his head rapidly to change his mind about slamming me on the floor. He slammed my back on the floor, my spine communicated immediately to my brain. I couldn't move. I find it arduous to breathe. Emeka joined Chinedu to beat already wounded Bayo. I pretended to be so weak and helpless; actually I was. Bayo struggled. He weaved all the punches thrown by these two monsters. He was beaten all around the room. He muddled through somehow to his wardrobe. Emeka kicked me on the face after he realized I was regaining strength. POW! Gunshot. Dead silence. Who shot? Who’s the victim?
