TRAUMA (Pains of Love) - Season 2 - Episode 2

PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
:
Queen and I glanced at each other, then as David was about jumping past us again, I quickly reached out and held him, then not minding the students that had gathered, I pulled him up and into my arms and held him tight. He was breathing heavily and I could also feel his legs shaking.

“I’m sorry” was all I could say while still hugging him.

“Let go of him now,” Eric said as he advanced towards us. His voice, I could tell, was filled with anger.

“I won’t release him till he’s stable,” I told him(the stubborn one’s knows how it feels to do frog jump as punishment, lol). Eric came and pulled me away from David forcefully and due to how weak his legs were, he was about falling but I held him and pulled him closer to myself again.

“Becky stop this madnes, students are watching,” Queen pleaded but I ignored her and faced Eric.

“What did David do?” I asked, then added SP as an afterthought because even though we were close, I never wished to disrespect him even one bit.

“I was given authority by the principal to punish him severely for making our family issues go viral,” Eric explained.

“Becky trust me please, I can never hurt the one I love,” David whispered in my ear, maybe for fear of others hearing. I looked directly into David’s eyes and for the first time, I could gladly and boldly defend him because I saw sincerity in his eyes.

“I trust David and I know he can never do such, why don’t you ask others you came along with to visit me, David is too polished to go about gossiping…” I paused and scaned Eric and the seniors face, then swallowed hard and continued, “Look, this isn’t the right time for this,” I concluded and with that placed my hand across David’s shoulder and led him away, leaving them behind to say whatsoever. I didn’t know if what I did was right or not but at that particular time, I felt David was unjustly punished…
:
I led David to the class and that was when I remembered the popcorn and hollandia yoghurt I had left in the cafeteria, though I felt bad coz it was a gift, I couldn’t bring myself to leave David all along coz last I remember, he had saved my poor a-s in so many unpleasant situations.

I made him sit on his locker, tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead which I used my handkerchief to clean. I opened his locker and brought out an empty coke bottle.

“Let me get you water from the dispenser to drink,” I smiled and made to leave but he held my left hand and I turned to face him.

“Thanks Becky,” he appreciated. “I’m sorry for everything.”

“It’s alright Dave, people make mistakes at times and tends to regret it later.”

“I know but…”

“No buts, Dave, you will always remain my bestie no matter what.”

“Your bestie?” He asked as his eyes widened in shock.

“Yea, your are special to me.”

“Please say that again?” he requested.

“You are special to me,” I repeated.

“One more time please?”

“You are special to me,” I repeated the third time and smiled amusingly. “Are you all right?”

“Yes!” he smiled too. “Watch your back, Queen is a wolf in fine linen,” he added and released my hand.

I stared at him for a moment and then nodded and left the class…
.
As I walked to the long hall close to our class where the water dispenser was, I couldn’t stop thinking of what David said about Queen and the statement “She’s a wolf in fine linen”” kept ringing in my head but then as I entered the hall, I pushed the thoughts aside, got the water and headed back to the class…
:
INSIDE THE CLASS
:
I walked in to meet Queen but didn’t talk to her till I had given David the water to drink. I sat on my locker amd faced her. “I’m sorry,” I apologised.
Hmm, apologising seemed to be an easy thing for me that time. I don’t know why o but Queen ignored me. I apologised again, thinking she didn’t hear me at first but she surprised me.

“Just shut up and let me be,” she shouted and hissed loudly.

“Hia! Na so friends dey behave, abeg park well o,” I said in pidgin and also hissed too. Suddenly I felt like urinating but the C.R.K. Teacher came in and I had to wait. I wasn’t chanced to go out till after school and immediately after the bell had gone, I ran out of the class in a speed of light to the toilet…
:
IN THE TOILET
:
In our school, four students shared one toilet(i.e four males for one toilet, four females for another each in different sections for male and female. As I stood infront of the toilet I shared with Joy, peace and Queen, I noticed the key wasn’t at the normal hanging place. I tried opening the door but It was locked from inside so I stopped and knocked. I knew no one else could be inside except my partners. Peace and Queen were in class, so I knew the person inside was Joy. I knocked again and again and soon the door opened and guess who I saw coming out with Joy? Eric and gosh! He was trying to adjust his belt but stopped as he saw me…
