"Don't you know that Law Society usually produces the most radical students on campus; the cult members and those that are against cultism. For example, the current president of LSS ( Law Student Society) is the leader of Red Axes while the vice president is the Leader of Black Brass ( a female cult group). Equity Chambers President is a DSMite ( DSM stands for Democratic Socialist Movement, a group against cultism among other things) and you know what that means."

"What does it mean?"

Shade looked surprised. "It means that the two Presidents won't see eye to eye. Meanwhile, the Black Brass has another member as an executive in Equity Chambers. I hear a lot of fights occur between them and I don't know why its the Law Students that have the highest number of these people."

"We are intellectuals." Tade spoke freely, much to the surprise of himself.

Shade dragged him to one corner and knelt down. "Tade, I am begging you, please just mind your business there. Don't join any of them. A cult member life span is usually short and those anti-cult guys are usually hunted and killed. Ife is a bad place to be carrying any new idea on power. Tade, please! I love you and you know that you mean a lot to me." Tade's face shot up in surprise with her admission. "Tade, I don't want to lose you. Even if you can't have any thing to do with me, don't break my heart by joining any of them. I don't want your life to......"

"Its okay, Shade." Tade said, his eyes showing concern. "I will try not to."

She cleaned her legs and eyes. "Am hungry, let's go and eat." She dragged a protesting Tade away.

At the eatery, Tade probed her.

"Why did you warn me about LSS?"

"Well, I have seen a little here and I don't want to see or hear more." She said quietly.

What did you hear? He asked more quietly.

"Well, you know Wande? Our class rep in SS1 na!" She said, seeing the confused look in his eyes.

"Ermm..."

"The one with goggles, that wears all those Reverend Sisters gowns, that we call Holy Mary?"

"Ooh!" He exclaimed as he remembered her. The lady was an extremely shy lady, who used her spare time as class rep to preach against fornication and ask people to repent.

"So what happened to her?" He asked quietly again.

"I heard she is the Leader of Black Brass!"

"Ehen?" He almost shouted, leading to one or two angry stares. He apologized and resumed to his food.

"What happened to her?" He asked after eating some more.

"When I got here during Post- UTME, I heard that she ran loose when she entered school, that she do boyfriend runs up and down and that she don change gan. That she don hard. The worst part of it was that she killed Kenny!"

"Kenny ke? Her best friend ma ni yen!" Tade said.

Shade shook her head. "I dey tell you say babe don change. Her eyes don dey run red and you dey talk best friend for there. The rumour be say. Kenny na PaceSetters persin and that dem fight each other as per leaders of their groups. After them kill Kenny, they distribute her body parts everywhere."

"Wow! You heard that one too?"

"No, I saw it with my eyes." He choked on hearing that. "It was a gore sight. And to think that na only Kenny Wande dey follow talk for school?"

"Na so I come think am say wetin be life sef? See as Wande waste persin life, dem fit waste her life like that too. Na so I think say that if I see any persin wey I sabi, I go warn am. I no think say I fit bear the pain of seeing such. Its almost derailed my examination preparations."

"So Tade, please am not joking, DON'T JOIN! I have to go." She stood up and left, leaving Tade to ponder on what she said.

Shade, the darling of many a secondary student, was the 'crushe' of Tade. About six feet, her fair complexion and long legs announces her presence in a gathering. Her smile, strong enough to charm even the strictest teacher, was often a weapon, the weakest weapon she used to her advantage. Her as5 was fleshy enough to sway men's thoughts, wills and caprices to her advantage. Her brea5ts, though puny, was braless, an action which gave her another weapon against men.

Shade was a paragon of beauty, which to many a sex hungry lad, was the perfect meal for them. However, despite her cordial relationship with Tade, he never had any amorous feelings towards her, which surprised her. So he become a target, an oddity which interested her.

She looked surprised at the sight of Tade, her white dress expressively showing her 'love' for the not too handsome crush of hers.

"Tade! Its has been a long time! How are you?" She flung herself to him, her small brea5ts pressing firmly to his chest. "Its has been a ........."

"A year, Shade and if you don't mind, you are squeezing me to death." Tade replied.

"Always the brash man, aren't you? You are a fresher here?" She asked familiarly.

*As if you are a stalite* his mind spoke back, but he nodded at her question.

"Cool! Am also a fresh student of Dramatic Arts, planning on going into the entertainment industry."

*Before nko* his mind fired back. He was not surprised in any way, at least she had modeled for Pepsi before and had done a couple of Close-up ads, not to talk of the little roles she had in sitcoms.

"What course are you studying?"

"Law."

"Law? Hmnn. You know what they say about the Law faculty in this school."

"Wetin you hear?" Tade asked.

The older student simply ignored him and went on with his business, miffing Tade. He decided to meet another senior student ,otherwise known as 'Stalite' to ask his question.

"Those guys belong to the Red Axes cult. He replied. They are one of the strongest cult groups in school and one of their members is the LSS president. So really there is no point trying to stop them."

When he saw Tade's repulsed face, he gave a hearty smile.

"E be like say you be fresher." Tade was surprised by his change of language. "Don't worry, after they have collected their dues, they don't come back until the next day. So quickly enter queue and do your registration finish so that you won't have to do it again."

"Thanks a lot. Am Tade."

"I am Efe. Oya go sharp, sharp."

Tade walked quickly to the queue and managed to slip himself through, denying some students their places.

When it got to his turned, the tired faculty officers asked him to bring out his credentials. Bringing out his secondary school certificate among other stuffs, he laid everything in front of them, before arranging them and moving them to each officer, wasting no time. After all the documentation and payment, he walked straight out of the registration area and moved to another part of the faculty, registering with his Chambers, the Equity Chambers. On getting there,he was asked to pay some more dues and more certification. Receipts were issued at each payment. He then walked out and came across Shade.

Suddenly, two odd looking men came towards their direction. Men, not boys because they definitely did not look like freshers. Muscles and chest budging out, faces looking handsomely monstrous and eyes red like Sango's own in a fit of rage, they were certainly not students, or so Tade thought.

The strange men went to the crowd and started sizing the freshers up, slapping one or two of them in the process. Tade watched as the previously rowdy queue turned taciturn and quiet, like someone seized their voices. He looked on with surprise as the men began to extort #100 fees from the freshers, beating anyone that resists them. When they were done, the men walked down, probably heading to another faculty. The faculty officers, who were tired of trying to control the crowd, did nothing while all the extortion went on.

Tade went towards one of them. "Please, who are those guys? Why did none of you stop them?"

He walked into the faculty of Administration and found something of interest.

He watched students bundle their way to register courses. The basement, which was otherwise less busy, was occupied by people running to and fro from different directions. He saw parents moving around, trying to 'work' their kids admission, there were student executives who moved around getting materials and trying to keep the students in line. There were hawkers of various edibles taking advantage of the situation to display their wares to positively hungry folks. One in a while, an elderly person comes in with a student and forces the student to stay in front of the queue, upsetting the 'orderly' students who go on a frenzy about how corrupt the country is.

Amused at what he saw, Tade decided to move to his faculty, knowing that time was not in his hands. He got there to meet a greater commotion, guys pushing themselves around the area, some guarding themselves like footballers shielding the ball, ladies hairs scattered on the ground like mad people, the executives shouting at the top of their voices, it resembled a mad house.

He noticed some guys watching them and sitting on an elevated part of the ground. Realising his exhaustion, he sat down to relax and watch the 'film' playing out in front of him.

He sighed, placing the letter into the envelope. He decided that he had no time to think of his family.

Tade woke up with a start and turned round, looking around the home he will soon leave. He remembered his first day at school and smiled.

After Salisu's maniac driving set him on edge, he decided to find a place to sit down, hence he walked towards the building where his faculty was located.

The building was something of a simple but wonderful design, if not a bit odd. The building which contained three faculties ( yes, three not one), was made like a three step giant staircase. The first 'step' housed the faculty of administration. The faculty itself had two floors and a basement, with the topsmost floor of the faculty linking to the first floor of the faculty of Law. The other two faculties ( Law and Social Sciences) were built the same way.

Andrew suddenly became a quiet, hostile young man with 'strange' ideals in his head. He had joined an anti-cult group and seemed to be causing trouble for the cult members in school. Wale talked to him, several times, each time his pleas fell to deaf ears. When cult members started sending strange texts to the family he had to call Andrew home and convened a family meeting over the issue.

It was there the worst happened. Andrew roundly insulted everyone, reserving special insults for both parents. Wale could not take it any further and disowned him, Clara begging both parties to stop. Andrew left for school early the next day and that was the last time he would see him alive.

When the news was broken to him and Clara, it shattered the family. Wale, pained by the death of his son, distanced himself from Clara and Tade eventually, blaming her for Andrew's death. He focused on his medical profession, while Clara went into importation business in order to keep herself busy and away from temptation. Money flowed in, but the lack of attention Tade had created an undisciplined kid who threw parties and did all sort of stuffs. He still managed to do well in academics though.

Dude, i don't know what to say? Am confused "Chapter one" ?


I don't understand it at all

I am separating them into chapters. Or the chapters too short?

Chapter two


Wale studied the letter on his table. It was about an interview from the United Nations, in lieu of a strategic vacancy in the Organization. The interview was to hold in a week's time, meaning that he had a week to prepare for this opportunity of a lifetime. Benefits included a better pay and travel benefits, availability of research materials and rubbing of shoulders and minds with the elite in the health profession, plus some bragging rights. He has always wanted to work at the highest level and he now has the chance to, at a young age for that matter.

He wished all aspects of his life were the same. It seems like it won't be possible.

When he started out with Clara, he had just got a job and they had married not long ago. Despite all that, he persuaded her to become a full housewife while he sends the money in. They did not have much, but they were happy. Then Andrew came in and their happiness increased. The young boy quickly showed his brilliance, even as his father was been promoted promptly and at times ahead of time. His family were so happy that when Tade came in, his performances, though a bit average, never bothered him or his wife. Andrew was their crown jewel, an intelligent, courteous, obedient son who was the delight of everyone they met.

All changed when he got admission to OAU.

Chapter two starts tomorrow. I acknowledge the presence of Bluestarry.

When it seemed like there will be a long wait, a senior officer showed up.

"Dada, what are you doing there?" As soon as Salisu saw him, he moved to protest but the man continued his talk.

"See, before I open my eyes, allow them to pass." "Don't you know that people are waiting at the back? And if you try what you did just now, I will make sure that you will not be here the next day, do you understand?"

Dada nodded and grudgingly left Salisu alone, much to the relief of Tade.

They drove into the university, much in a procession-like manner. Salisu soon got to the roundabout and after they went past the structure Salisu increased the pace, as if he was late for something important.

They soon turned towards Tade's faculty.

"Salisu, drop me here." Salisu moved further, ignoring Tade's instruction. Tade repeated himself, shouting this time. Salisu continued for a minute then sharply turned round, almost hitting an incoming car. Luckily for them, the car owners seemed more concerned about where they we're going, leaving Tade to silently fume at Salisu. The driver then used a snail's pace to get to the place Tade wanted to drop, much to the against of other motorists.

"Salisu, come tomorrow by ten to this spot to pick me." The driver nodded his head and drove quickly, like a maniac on the loose.

"Werey." Tade said, before he headed to his department.

awchh,I like it alredy

Thanks, this your picture looks sweet.

Updates later in the evening.

badoolee:

Wanted you to see my work, sorry if its not what you like.

Nice work everyone!

I think am beginning to dislike some comments coming through. Its true that Royver did an expert job here, but that was possible because other wrote ahead of him. That also includes the boring parts. Common, not every chapter will be blood-running, heart-beating action. Some other parts will involve explanation and other 'not too interesting' things. So everyone deserves their due credit here.

Na wa o, all of una wey dey chase Thomas, diaris God oh! All of una ghost readers, I go soon send Rita to una

OAU was in view, some metres besides them. The beauty was not immediately apparent to them, but when they drove towards the gate, the sight improved. The gates were rather short, but the face of the statute of Oduduwa was molded on the wall of the gates, with the said walls dividing the traffic going in and those going out. As with all 'important days' like this, a slow traffic build-up was present.

Their sight-seeing was halted by the security officer who asked Salisu for his particulars, using his face in a bid to scare him. It failed woefully.

After his particulars were cleared, the security officer then proceeded to 'obtain' Salisu.

"You see, my son." He started, "I have been here for some time without any food or water." He then used a minute to reel out the inadequacies of the government of the day. "Abeg find something for me." He concluded.

Salisu looked a bit surprised and calmly told him that he was also in a bad situation financially, so he could not help him. The old man refuse to budge.

"My son, is that how you lie to your parents?" At the sound of the word 'parents', Salisu got inflamed with anger, spilling out expletives and insults on the man. Tade watched with interest as they dragged it on.

"If you don't give me anything, you won't leave here!" The man threatened. Already other cars were hooting but Salisu just turned the engine off. Tade knew this was likely to be a long wait, considering that the old man had pressed a wrong button on Salisu.
