PRESTON

Okay. We arrived on Monday and were forced to carry our heavy trunks on our heads from the campus to our dormitries and we thought that was it. Until we got to the dormitries after the row call and things got worst.
After seeing the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life, (and that says alot since I had seen a fare share of women) in a school where most girls were either too fat or too skinny and ugly, I wanted to know what was happening with me. I had never felt like I was feeling at that moment. My heart was beating twice as fast and I could not focus.
"Pres" I heard Micheal call " you look lost,is it about the cute girl during row call?" He winked at me.
" Come on, I'm just tired" I replied
"Yeah right" Harry replied casually.
"She's beautiful" was all I could say.
They just laughed, because, what could they say?.
"Will you stay here laughing or go to bed? " an elderly student asked and smirked. Why and with whom was he smirking. Control freaks.
We just continued slowly in silence. Someone might have found it awkward, that we were silent while everyone else chattered excitedly. No, it was not the senior that scared us. It was just our thing, our silence.
It took us some time to reach the dormitory since we took our time, and we realised it was just a few of us still outside and the dormitory was dead silent. That was strange.
We just stared at each other, our eyes communicating the odd feeling we felt at that time.
We entered the dormitory anyways. Not like there was another option.
There was no one in the hostel and that was unbelievable because out of almost seventy students in a hostel, it could not be empty at this time and the silence was weird.
The other two guys who were with us strolled towards the box room and froze.
We immediately went there and I froze. What in the name of Jesus was going on here? Why was everybody naked?. Okay not naked like they were born, but just underwear naked, and kneeling?. Blood of Jesus.
One of the guys kneeling signaled for us to join them with his eyes, but I was not doing that.
"You have ten seconds to join them" came a voice from the other side of the door, towards the other hostel. That was when I noticed the seniors at the other end. They were six in number, and I hoped at that moment that looks were deceiving, because they looked old enough to my father and looked very angry. Okay, that said it all.
Five fingers on my jaw brought me back to life. One of the seniors stood infront of me with red eyes and he had just slapped me. That was when I realised I was the only one still standing. In five seconds, I was on the ground. Although the weather was supposed to be cold, it felt hot in here.
"Since everyone is here, we can now begin. Do you know why you're kneeling?" One of the boys, who was as black as engine oil and as huge as De Rock, asked. How old were these guys? And why still in high school?.
" No" we chorused. He laughed.
"Me neither" they all laughed now " but I just feel the need to tell you to kneel. Because we're the bosses around here. Got that?" He enquired. The fuck.
" Yes" we all replied.
" No " he immediately snapped" you say no kaisa. We are all your kaisa's. Do you understand?" He asked.
" Yes Kaisa" we all replied.
"Excellent. You all learn so fast" he grinned at us and stepped aside.
The next kaisa stepped where he was infront of the door. This one looked like the previous Kaisa, but had no humour on his face.
"We'll work this way. Beggining from here" he pointed at the first guy on the first line" you will get up , bring down your trunk and box for us to check and we're done, you put it back up and go to bed. Understood?" He asked.
"Yes kaisa" was all we kept saying. Although some of us on the fourth line grumbled because we had no idea when it would get to us.
If they noticed, they did not react, because he just continued speaking.
" Good. You can call me Kaisa William" he said, no smiles. These guys were funny. If I had not received a slap, I would ask which of the Williams.
" Kaisa William 1 or 2" a guy from the second line asked. This guy had no idea how their slapped felt like. My jaw still hurt. I probably had his five fingers on my jaw, but could not ask my friends because we were avoiding trouble. How strange, we were always the trouble makers.
The senior who had slapped moved, probably to slap again. He surely had issues with his hand. He looked at the kaisa questioningly and angrily, then stepped back.
"William 1, thank you. I like you already" he replied. Wow. He just smiled at him.
"Shit" I whispered, more like, lipped.
"Lets begin".
The first boy started and it continued as all six seniors selected whatever they wanted from your trunk and boxes and dared you to protest. This went well until the second line. The second boy on the line was fatter than a pig and even wore glasses. Wonder how he was going to carry his trunk.
He stood up and looked up at the second shelf like his mother had to fall from there and he had to catch her. We just knew he was busted.
" Kaisa please I'll need help bringing it down. Its too heavy " he pleaded.
"I don't think we put any of that stuff there for you. So, you will carry on your own.
There was silence as we watched him struggle with his trunk. An imagination of the Ghana pallbearers standing close by, waiting for him nearby made me break into laughter the same time the trunk fell on him. With him facing upwards and the trunk on his stomach. Everyone errupted into laughter, including the kaisa's. Micheal, Harry and I stared at each other and immediately understood and the laughter increased.
" Enough" one of the other two Kaisa's who had been quiet all through said, and there was dead silence. " So much for the size" he continued" you" he pointed at me, and I immediately started sweating " since you started the laughter, you and your friend help lift the trunk from his body " he said.
Harry and I did that and realised he had the right to struggle, it was like carrying a dead man. Wonder how he carried it from the campus.
When the seniors went to open the trunk, they all looked at each other.
"Were you running from a war?" Kaisa William asked.
"You will need to cut down boy, and we'll help with that" the Kaisa who had slapped me said.
"I mother just thought I should bring enough of everything" the fat boy replied " please don't take my peanuts" he pleaded. Funny.
" we are definitely taking it". Obviously.
And the big guy had to burst into tears. He was ignored.
When everything was over, no one even had strenght to converse. We just fell on our beds and slept like that.
* * *
"Up, up, everyone, up" someone shouted, as I woke up to water pouring like it was drizzling. Wait, either I slept outside and its drizzling on me or this is witchcraft or magic?.
And who the hell was screaming?. Maybe we had been attacked, or the school had been invaded by witches or wizards, or both.
Before I had time to complete my thoughts, it poured down on me like a waterfall.
I jumped up, startled. When I could finally see something, the dormitory was in chaos.
About twenty senior students or kaisa's, I don't know, were pouring water on those still on their beds.
What the fuck.
" You have ten seconds to be up" one of them shouted.
When we were all finally on alert, one of them spoke. He looked so thin you blow him and he would fall. But he was so tall, you would not try it, you just had to hold his legs and that would be it.
" You will each carry two buckets of water and bring to the up sixth dormitory before its rising time" he said.
Wait, rising time?. Does that mean..
Fuck! Its barely ten minutes past three.
So much for wanting to be in boarding school.
