Blurred Vision

Scared

I couldn't admit that Kosi's words got to me.

I picked my bag and left the classroom. I went immediately to Amara's class.

I took excuse and entered. Amara sat at the back, she stood up immediately she saw me and grabbed my hand hurriedly taking me out of the class.

"What did I say about coming to my class?"
I rolled my eyes and muttered sorry.

"What do you want, I gave you money yesterday"

I glanced at her. "So you think anytime I come to you, it's for money?"

Amara folded her arms. "So what's the problem?"

"There's this girl in my class... Her name is Kosi, she just keeps threatening me" I told her.

Amara glanced around and whispered to me. "We will talk about this in dorm, okay? I have to go"

She left immediately into the class.

Amara was hiding something and I did not like it, I watched as she smiled awkwardly at her seatmate, a boy.

Maybe she had a boyfriend and she didn't want me to know. What's the big deal?

I sighed and walked to the tuck shop to buy some snacks. I met Asah there.

"Hey" she said.

"Hi" I turned to buy what I wanted.

"What's it that Kosi told you?" She asked.

"Same issue" I exhaled. "She fears I'm taking her position from her"

Asah bit her lip looking at me. "What are your grades from your former school?"

"We don't do positions but my grades are usually A+" I told her.

Asah nodded. "You are her competition, she's scared of you. Don't let her get to you"

I nodded. Asah led me to a bench in the tuck shop and I sat down munching my snacks.

"Are you going to the dinning?" She asked.

"I've lost appetite, I don't think so" I replied.

"Well me too" she sat down too. "What about your bunkie?"
"What do you mean?" I peered at her.

Asah smiled. "New comer..... So you don't know Deze is Kosi's right hand man? There's a clique, you know how all these highschool movies are, Kosi is the leader and Deze and one another girl in C called Wisy are her followers"

I giggled.

Asah smiled. "I know ... It's funny but it's not funny when they make fun of you together"

I said nothing.

"But at least, you have a sister, if she tries any nonsense, you report, do you hear?"

"Yes" I replied.

"Let's go.... I think the dormitory is open"
I began to like Asah.

Thinking of it, Deze pushed me in the bathroom, the first day I came just to have my space.

"She is very selfish", I thought.

We got into the dormitory and I washed together with Asah. I steered clear off Kosi's path because I didn't want problem.

It was evening when I went to Amara's apartment. I took the green card from Senior Chidera who I had become familiar with and headed for my sister's apartment.

I went straight to her bed where she was folding her clothes.
"How are you?" She asked without looking at me.

"I'm fine" I muttered.

"I called Daddy today and he asked about you" she said further.

I nodded without a word.

"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?"
I exhaled.

"Amara, there's a girl in my class, her name is Kosi, she's treating me badly"  I complained.

"Your apartment head"

I nodded nearly crying.

"What did she do?"

"It started during tests, she was angry that I'm always the first to submit upon I'm a new student then she told the whole class that I feel too big... They advised me to stop submitting first and I did... But today, she told me that if I take her position that that would be the last time I would breathe on this earth" I cried.

"Amara, what's wrong with your sister?" Her side mate asked.

"Is it not that stupid Kosi in Sun dormitory" Amara burst out.

Another girl came closer. "The one that used to push her bombom out?"

I nearly laughed. Amara and her side mate burst into laughter.

"She's threatening your sister?" The girl continued.

"That if she overtakes her in position, she will die"

"Imagine!" the girls exclaimed. Amara stood up immediately and put on her house wear.

"Ngwa, Nneoma, come and show me the girl"

"Wait for me!" Some girls squealed excitedly as the hurriedly put on their house wear.

I was excited and a bit frightened of what this could lead to.

Amara held my hand and together, we trooped to sun dormitory.

"Everybody, heads up" Amara commanded as we entered my apartment.

Every where fell silent. Kosi was lying on her bed looking at us nonchalantly.

Amara's friend walked to her and
dragged her down.

"The rest of you can go back to what you were doing"

Kosi put on a fearless face and made a show of removing the senior's hand from her singlet.

"So what did you tell my sister.... She will die abi?"

Kosi just stared at her.

Amara's hand went across her cheek. "I'm talking to you, you brat"

"Amara please" I begged almost crying as I held Amara's hand.

Kosi's cheeks were a bright red colour due to how fair she was.

"Infact, you are coming with me to my apartment" Amara said pulling Kosi by her singlet.

Someone exclaimed and I knew it was Deze.

They all ignored it and dragged Kosi to Ruby house. Amara broke a hanger. "I'm talking to you, what did you tell Nneoma?"

Kosi still kept quiet. Amara slapped her again, another senior poked her head from behind and they made jest of her.

Kosi began to cry even before Amara used the hanger on her but Amara did not leave her.

She kicked her and flogged her thoroughly while she cried loudly.

She was still made to kneel down in the middle of the apartment and Amara told me to go as they will use her to work that night since there was no night prep.

With my heart in my mouth, I left the dormitory back to mine.
