Episode 7
The school S.U.G president soon showed up
with the school authorities and the police,
quickly dispersing everyone.
“You can now go on with your various
activities, we are here to take charge of the
situation.
Be rest assured that the person behind this
outrageous crime will be caught. If you have
any information to share please don’t hesitate
to bring it to our knowledge.
Mind how you talk to the press or better still
leave us to do the talking, “you are warned”
the Dean of students addressed us before we
were dispersed. I returned to my room
extremely scared and afraid. I couldn’t
imagine what the outcome of their
investigation will be.
I didn’t leave my room all through the rest of
that day.
I simply stayed indoors with my conscience
punishing me. I was ready to do anything for
my fears to go away.
Nmeka’s body was taken away later in the
afternoon. I couldn’t help but peep through my
window as an ambulance carried the poor
thing away.
Yes the time was precisely 3:15pm. I really
couldn’t imagine what caused the delay in
moving a body discovered very early in the
morning.
However some minutes after her body was
taken away. A strange kind of dizziness took
over my entire body. It was as if my room
was spinning round with me in the center.
I lost balance and collapsed on my bed,
breathing heavily while sweat drenched my
body.
I couldn’t believe nor understand what was
happening. I never experienced such a thing
before, but luckily I regained myself some
minutes after.
I tried hard to think what could have
happened, but just couldn’t figure out
anything. Not only was my eyes now seeing
things that never was, the rest of my body
has equally joined in the game.
Could Nmeka’s spirit be behind this?” I
wondered
Miserably.
“But I didn’t kill anybody. It was just an
accident.
I did what I had to do to save face” I kind of
spoke aloud before realising myself.
A sharp knock of my door, quickly notified
me of a visitor waiting outside. “Was I heard?
Is it the police?” I nervously asked myself as I sluggishly
went to my door.
