First day in boarding house when i resumed JSS 1.I was 9 yrs and some months old.. As my parent turned back after dropping me off...That night, I tried to familiarize myself with my new environment..The so cald seniors were looking very matured with moustache and huge to the extent of when I am being called by them..I unconsciously answer ''sir'' only for them to shout back ''Are you mad? Am I your father''.
Go and fetch me a bucket of water. I taught to myself I am just resuming today, I dont even know where they fetch water from. I reluctantly took the bucket and went to get the water.
I noticed there was a particular senior that student were calling ''blood''. I later realised from a new friend that night the reason why he is being called blood is because he is very wicked.
My new friend told me I needed to fetch my bucket of water down that night if I wanted to bath the next morning. The reason being that the queue at the borehole is very long in the morning..And i was also told that seniors will always shunt to fetch water before you so you might end up not taking your bath. I hurriedly carried my bucket to fetch water..when I got back I padlocked the bucket of water under the double bunk..my bunk space was top.
That night, I went for night prep only for me to get back and my matteress was no longer on my bunk space.."which kind life be dis"..i taught to myself..I started looking for my matteress till light out..And there is a rule that no junior must be seen walking about after light out...despite light was off..only the rays from the street light was reflecting in the hostel hall...While doing that..unfortunately I heard foot step of someone coming so as I wanted 2 pass another route so that he would not see me, I ran into Blood (the wicked senior)..The bowl of garri and sugar he was holding fell and poured on the ground...''Ahhhhhhhhh, I can see blood'' he shouted while banging his two legs on the ground..I did not know when I started to weep. I went on my kneels and was begging him...''Senior please I am sorry''
