Jennifer and Layo ran as fast as they could to the principals office sweating like Lagos okada men on a hot sunny day.

Elizabeth and Sara didn't even bother reporting, they just strolled to the hostel.

Layo and her new found friend waited at the door with Jenny draped over her shoulder, crying like a baby.

Her mind wandered back to his stiff, lifeless body.

What if Jenny killed him?

She didn't carry out the crime but the was there.

She was there.

She was an accessory to the crime and she thought of her nights in prison.

The mosquitoes.

The bad, disgusting food. She thought of how they don't serve pringles in prison or oven baked cookies. What of her love for delicious chicken suya Pizza?

All this thoughts brought more pain to her knees as the sat there on the floor with a weeping Jenny two colour.

The principal dismissed the students after informing them of the trip they are about to embark on during the mid term holiday to the famous Olusegun Obasanjo library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Naturally the students let out a little protest about their excursion being to a library but quickly changed your minds after being informed that it comes with a four star luxurious hotel, an Olympic size swimming pool and a cinema hall where they will watch Avengers infinity war since the movie premiered while they were in school.

As the principal gave her speech on the things they need to do and how the trip had already being paid for in the school fees, the V-destroyers plotted their new battle strategy.

"Guy we go do am for hotel." Michael said with a toothy grin.

"I don count am o, we get forty girls left for ss1 and 2." David pitched in offhandedly. He doesn't really care about the girls he sleeps with but the scene that happened two hours ago actually got to him.

"Which one you do last?" Debola asked David.

"One girl like that sha. Yellow girl." He answered without even looking at the guys.

They missed all the information passed by the two principals which included good behavior for the rest of the week and anybody found wanting would be staying behind.

The principals also informed the students that the mid term holiday would be extended to one week rather than the usual four days.

******

The female principal left the school hall after having a short discussion with the teachers.

She walked with feline grace to her office, her behind swaying in a head turning but not overly seductive manner.

She was a former beauty queen and she shot into limelight after being crowned Most beautiful girl in Nigeria. Even in her early fifties, her beauty wasn't hidden behind those gorgeous set of dimples.

Just about a few steps from her office, she noticed the girls sitting at the door. She walked faster, her black heels not allowing her to run. In about ten steps, she got to the office door.

"Girls what are you doing here?" She asked, concern oozing out of her voice.

"um we're sorry Ma but were just." Layo tried explaining but the couldn't get the right words And Jennifer, she just sat there staring into space.

The principal helped the girls up. A pool of blood already formed under Layo's bleeding knee due to lack of attention.

She was going to take them to her office, sit them down and finally here the juicy gist. Even though she's the principal, everybody likes a juicy story with a dramatic ending. But after noticing the bleeding, she called the head nurse to take them in.

Of course she'll also enforce discipline if needed. And this school needs a whole lot of it.

*****
Layo's injury wasn't much, it just bled out because of the pressure applied to it.

Kunmmi and Tolu were informed about Layo so they went to see her at the nurses office.

Aunty Aisha exaggerated the whole thing so they thought she would be connected to machines, lying down on the bed.

The school's sick bay was like a mini hospital but brighter and much more cheerful with cliche quotes like "health is wealth" on the shiny white
walls that look like they have never been touched.

The students and teachers even had files, blood and urine samples.

Layo sat on a plastic white chair clutching her knees. She was staring at the movie playing on ROK but her mind was far from there. It kept wondering back to his stiff pig like body lying there all bloody.

She didn't even notice her friends come in.

"Babes, babes?" Kunmmi nudged her arm softly while Tolu sat down on the bed beside the chair Layo was on.

"How bout Steph?" Was all she managed to say as her eyes got glassy.

A lot of emotions ran through her right now. She was almost raped by a disgusting dog and all the other hand she helped in killing a man.

A tear rolled down her red puffy eyes as her tummy rumbled.

Her friends got the drill and pulled her into a tight hug. Her body was warm.

As soon as she met with their body met with hers, fresh tears poured out of her eyes. She soaked Tolu's shirt but she didn't care, she just hugged her.

Tolu being an emotional person cried along with her while Kunmmi kept a straight face. But that doesn't mean she does not care.

"Guys...he... He got on top of me and...he...he tried to..." Her voice came out shaky as she trembled in their arms.

"It's okay...it's" Tolu tried calming her down but she was a nervous wreck herself. Kunmmi quickly came to the rescue.

"They found him so shush, don't cry again baby girl." She let go of her and wiped her face with her fingers.
Kunmmi shot Tolu a good glare to inform her royal bundle of tears to hush up.

"But we killed him...we we."

"No joor, he just had an injury and they'll know you did it in self defense okay?" She nodded slightly not too convinced but Kunmmi was great with words and she lifted the pain a little.

"Is it this your thin hand you used to fight?" Tolu said laughing. Kunmmi laughed too and Layo just shakes her head, a small smile tugging at the side of her mouth as they walked out of the sick bay.

Also it's set in Abeokuta because I live there and I want to write something I'm comfortable with.

THE BLURB
Anjola's life was already hell and hell got heated seven times over when she left home after being raped by her dad. Skin as fair as the sun, one could be mistaken and call her a white girl. Student by day and stripper by night, she spends everything she gets at the famous Halmod club to study at the university. With barely two hundred Naira to her name, things are gonna be heated fourteen times now when she meets Prince Korede, son of the King and richest man in Nigeria who saves her and takes her to his home.

Thanks Guys.
I love you all.
God bless.
