ADDICTED

5. FIRST DAY IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Chapter 5
  "Please take good care of yourself for me okay", she admonished.

"Huh fuck!.
How could she?", I was expecting more

"I would, and be safe from my gender as you enjoy your stay there." I ended.

  Phones were prohibited in High School so I had no hopes of hearing from her as we departed.

  The journey to school was about 4 hours so we had set in very early. We wanted to avoid the joining of queues for registration.

"Be quick , I don't have enough time. I need to return early and attend to other duties." Isaac commanded.

I got pissed with his command , because it was my first day to school and all I needed was pampering.

  For once he could have been nice to me.

All the bullying I received from him while big sister was away, were not enough for him.

   I frowned as I packed my provisions and belongings to the car trunk.

   I slammed it and I saw him gesture  complaints through the mirror as he sat on the driver's seat.

  I didn't want any problem with him so I refused to sit in front.
   
I wandered to the back seat.

  For the first time, I put on my seatbelt.
Feeling as feeble as a child.

I began to experience the feeling of being away from the family for months.

  Uncle Emma had already given me nightmares about life in High School. The bullies and punishments.

    After about a half way through the journey, Isaac had bought some Malta and pies.

    I could only take two bites of the pie and a few sips of the malta. Anxiety had taken all over me.

    I then remembered it was a single sex school.

    After all there would be no lady to mock me while being bullied or punished.

    I comforted myself with this and I felt super comfortable then.

   I'm shy of ladies and that had been my only terror.

  I enjoyed the outside view and cleared all my thoughts.
  
I had swept all my fears out of me.

  Soon, we reached our destination.
We followed the direction to the administration block with the help of the schools' map.

I looked around and was proud of myself: being admitted into one of the best High Schools in Ghana.

  We got there and completed the registration.

   Brother was given a card that contained the name of my house of residence.

  It was about a 3 minutes drive. I was in shock to see continuing students rush to freshers to Carry their belongings to the room.

   I got terrified. One which I beared the same surname with, rushed to us on arrival and o
asked to help get my possessions inside.

   I avoided straight look into his face. Isaac opened the car trunk for him.

  He carried my chop box inside and returned for the trunk . As Issac helped me carry the remaining goods inside.
  
   We followed him. I chose an upper bed situated in the the middle left lane of the wide and broad room.

   The guy then climbed up with my mattress and requested for my bed sheet and pillow case.

   I opened the trunk and fished them out for him. I knew all these wouldn't end well. But what could I do?

Nothing.

   Soon he was done. I think Issac understood the culture. He called the guy out and sorted him with some cash.

  I now felt a bit relieved. At least I don't owe him.

  It was time for Issac to leave so I escorted him to the door and he gave me some money to put on me.

   Just when he started his car, the guy returned.
My heart leaped into my stomach when I watched him approach.

    "Hey gentleman, do I look like a porter or cleaner to you,"? He questioned angrily.

  "No please", I answered wobblily.

"No problem, pay me and I will take my leave", he solicited.

"I don't have any money on me, besides I saw my brother give you money." I replied aggressively.

"Do you want to enjoy your stay on campus? I also saw him give you money, give me my share", He threatened.

  His threat brought down my aggressiveness. He gave his price and I bargained with him.

  He accepted my bargain but unfortunately I had just a note on me which was more than the bargained amount.

   He snatched it as I pulled out and said to me he would return the rest.

Ei! I had not even settled.
I felt soo lonely at the spot.

  I took off my shoes and climbed up my bed.

   I watched other freshers walk in. Everyone went through their special terrific treatment.

A 6feet tall guy with huge muscles entered...
