Depressed

Chapter 17

It was Thursday, I woke up late.My Mom has already gone to work.

She is such an early riser.

I hurriedly prepared for school but my school bus has already passed my house. So i had to use a keke (tricycle) to school.

I arrived during second period, I was punished though but not a serious one.

If it were to be Bridgetown high,i would have clean the school toilet and sweep the whole classes and still receive strokes of cane from five different teachers.

Thank God!

I got in and saw someone on my seat.

That's weird.

I seat alone and I want to maintain that.

I tried changing seat but i noticed that everyone was seating equally so there was no spare seat,I had to maintain my previous seat.

I sat down and behold it was Christopher aka girls favourite.

I was annoyed.

What is he doing here?

My seat!

I told myself i was not going to talk to him.

After few minutes, the period ended,I was expecting him to go but instead he sat there and was grinning at me,licking his lips like he has seen a sweet food ready to devour.

What does he want?

Am not going to fall for his nonsense.

"Can you please,stop looking at me like that, its annoying and disgusting". I told him with anger.

" What am i doing?".he said pretending like he doesn't know.

"Stop licking your lips like a lion ready to eat an unaware antelope". I said before the next teacher came in.

Shit,now he won't leave my seat.

Christopher sat with me throughout the day but we didn't talk much.

I was still angry though.

I got home and my Mom wasn't back yet.

It was 5:09pm. Her closing time,she should be on her way.

I had WAEC lessons though.

My Mom has finally convinced me in writing waec from SS2.

She called it attempt001.

And if i don't do well i have another chance,SS3 that is attempt002.

I opened the door, and the house was dark,thanks to NEPA.

I will stay under darkness till my Mom comes back.

I got in and i saw a figure sitting on the sofa.

I was shocked and surprised.

I screamed and ran outside.

Is that a thief?

Or ..........

I was scared to go in.

I sat down outside patiently waiting for my Mom.

Few minutes later,my Mom came.

She was surprised to see me outside.

I told her i saw a figure inside.

She laughed heavily.

I would say the laugh was making fun of me.

Like i don't know what i was saying.

Before she entered the house,she put on the generator.

We got in and there was no so called figure.

She looked at me like what did you see.

*****
I went to my room to change and get ready for dinner.

While in my room strange things were just happening.

The mirror on the wall fell down and broke on its own. It was as if someone pushed it.

The white light in the room was blinking and stop after few minutes.

After changing to my night wear. I was about going to the sitting room but my room door refuse to open.

I tried opening but couldn't.

It was locked from the outside.

I remember i didn't lock the door and even the door does not lock.

The key hole is bad.

My Mom noticed my situation and can to help me.

"Honey,what happened"?.she asked from the other side of the door.

" I don't know, looks like the door is jammed ".I said sounding frustrated

" No,the door is locked ".she said

" locked! Who would lock it?".I said asking as if there is another person to answer the question.

"Let me try and break it,step back". My Mom said going to find a hammer to break the door.

After minutes of struggling, the door opened. But in a bad way. The entire door fell.

Another expense. We need a carpenter.

My Mom was breathing fast like she just ran a marathon.

Instead of a hammer she was also with a saw.

My Mom can be a man sometimes.

" Thanks Mom".I said hugging her

She just saved my life.

"No problem,baby,let's eat am hungry". She said walking to the dining room.

After dinner,I watched some TV programs and went to bed.

It still baffles me.

Who would lock my door from the outside?

Or Is anybody else in this house?

I let that thought for another day and allow myself to be led to sleep.
