Continuation of episode 10
Efua’s ex roommate was right about one thing, Efua loves bathing a lot. She baths six times a day and she usually spend soo much time scrubbing her body to perfection.
I gotta give it to her, she was one neat girl, probably the neatest girl I’ve ever seen.
But she was a first class b*tch.
Whenever I did something wrong, she’d blast me with her tongue. The other day, during lunch, I’d missed my step and had crashed to the floor with my food tray spilling over.
Instead of this black witch checking out on me like many others to see if I got hurt, she stood by the corner and rained insults on me.
” You clumsy fool!” She yelled at me. ” Why can’t you watch your step, huh? Look at all these waste!”
Everyone wondered what I could’ve done to deserve such heart chilling insults from her.
I ended up washing the entire cafeteria floor as punishment.
And yet, throughout all those stuffs, I’d keep mute and kept my cool. I’d learnt the hard way to tame my tongue cause if by any mistake I replied her back, everyone around would think I was being disrespectful.
This was an advise Sharon gave to me. Now everyone thought I was the victim and Efua was the bully.
Back at the hostel, it got worse but I knew how to handle her. I always made sure her six gallons were filled with water. It wasn’t easy filling those gallons up and taking them all the way from the basement to my room but I had backups. Sharon and Mia had supported me with that strenuous chore.
My stay with Efua was tiring and weird and I observed something really strange with her.
It’s like a pattern.
She always sleeps very early and wake up at exactly midnight to study. I noticed she always study naked with nothing else but her battery Torchlight and four bars of chocolate.
I’m not against her studying but why the nakedness? It’s really creepy.
I mean, I’ve seen Collette study. Collette reads about four different textbooks at the same time and still plays chess for fifteen minutes, sometimes ten minutes. And yet, Colette never studies naked.
I guess everyone has their own way of studying.
Efua only needed to be naked with some bars of chocolate, Collette only needed peace and quiet.
Meanwhile, I suffered in Efua’s hands for she turned me into a slave. I don’t know why, but I began praying vehemently for Collette to recover and come back to school.
Aside me missing her, she was the only one who could save me from Efua.
Then everything changed one night.
It was on a chilly Wednesday night when news spread amongst the students that someone lost their parents.
Sharon was telling me about it during night prep. I felt terribly bad at that news. It became a topic of discussion between us as we read our books.
I knew what it means to lose a parent—yeah, I’ve been there.
After prep, we returned back to the hostel. For some strange reason’s Efua still hasn’t returned to the hostel. I was happy though. At least I won’t get tongue lashed tonight, I hope.
But just after I was preparing for bed, she rushed into the room looking like a deadbeat lunatic.
” Is my bath ready?” She asked, avoiding me.
