Emmanuel's pov:

The result of my test isn't out yet and i don't even know if i want

to know the outcome. Just thinking about it, makes a cold shiver run

through me. Would i suffer like my mom. Would all my hair fall off?.

God please, save me. I promise to be good. Tessy's presence helped

keep my mind away from my coming death. But now that she's gone, its

coming back to my mind.

Speaking of tessy, i am excited about seeing her today in school. I

even woke up early without our housekeeper's help. I am so excited

that i whistle as i walk to school. I see tessy as i get to the school

gate. She looks pale and she doesn't even acknowledge me.

"tessy, are you okay?" i ask but she just walks inside the school

without even giving me a passing glance. I go to stop her but arinze

and chukwuka walks to me and i stop myself and walk into school with

them.

Through out the morning lesson, i keep my eyes on tessy. I can tell

something is wrong. And i have to find out so i can take whatever is

troubling her away from her.

During lunch break, i go to speak to tessy but i am stopped by

someone, again. Okay this getting annoying

. I turn to shout at the

person but see that its ese. I swallow my retort.

"can i talk to you Manuel?" she says. I turn to look at tessy who is

walking out of the class, then turn back to ese. She could have

information that i need.

"sure, what's up?"she looks around

"well, i don't want you to trouble tessy anymore. She doesn't need it

coupled with what she's going through right now"

"what is she going through?"

"its none of your business, i just want you to stop bothering her" i

am getting angry. I hold her hand then shake her

"cut the theatrics and tell me what is wrong with her" i say menacingly

"i cant tell you, okay. Its personal"

"cant you see i am going crazy? Just tell me!" i yell at her and grab her harder

"its her father! He called her this morning!" she yells back then

cover her mouth like she didn't want to say that. I just huff and

storm away from her. I go outside the class and see arinze and

chukwuka harassing tessy. Arinze is holding her hand and chukwuka is

writing on her neck. Tessy is screaming. I have been looking for a

someone to punch ever since i found out about my mom, seems like i

found it. I know there are just following my orders but i don't want

them to bother her anymore. I storm to them.

"get your hands off her!" i say calmer than i feel.

"hey man, come join us" chukwuka says grinning at me. Tessy just

stares blankly at me. I walk over to chukwuka. He wrote bitch on her

neck!... Oh, he is so dead!. I grab the biro from his hand and throw

it across the corridor. He looks at me shocked but i dnt care. I grab

the hand he has on tessy and twist it. He yells and charges towards me

in anger. I set my foot and it slams his stomach and he falls on the

dirty floor. Adrenaline pumping, i sit on him and punch his stupid

face.

Read " Falling For Innocence " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. The sick crunch of my knuckles on his face is so satisfying and

i hit him again. I hear tessy crying for me to stop but i don't!.

Arinze who was holding tessy is on me now and he drags me off

chukwuka. I push him and we fall together, rolling on the floor still

throwing punches. By now everybody has gathered and they pull us

apart. Chukwuka is still on the ground rubbing his broken nose.

Atleast i hope it is broken. Still held back, i search for tessy among

the crowd and find her in another guy's arms. I think his name is

prosper or something like that. He is currently hugging tessy, rubbing

her back and consoling her. That should be me consoling her. I let

rage overcome me so much that i forgot tessy, the reason why i was

throwing punches. This makes me mad and i just shrug off the holds on

me and walk away.
