~TAYO~

Boring!

School was boring as usual, and I couldn't wait to leave. I sat in my class tapping my foot anxiously on the floor as I tried listening to what the government teacher was teaching, but my head couldn't stop replaying a event that occurred, Saturdays event precisely. The scenes couldn't stop playing in my head, the moment that bastard laid his hand on my pinky and I just watched not being able to do anything because Wendell dragged me out before I even could act, and that was the most painful thing, not being able to retaliate.

I was angry, angry that I couldn't do anything to that bastard that had slapped my pinky and I was also angry at Wendell because he was the one who stopped me from laying my hands on that bastard, but I felt at ease anytime I remembered the plan I had laid out for revenge.

"Tayo," I looked at my side and saw Sinzu staring at me, I raised one of my brows at him in response. "Mr Qudus called for you."

I looked at my front and truly all eyes were on me.

"Would you like to tell us what you were thinking about, Mr Banku?" he asked.

"Nothing," I responded.

"Really? But I was calling you and you didn't answer, why is that?" I shook my head without saying anything, and he just stared at me before he resumed his teaching, but my mind just couldn't stop thinking about that bastard and different types of way to punish him.

Punch him in the face.

Break his bones.

Shove his head into water still he runs out of breathe.

Beat him with a cane to stupor.

Perhaps, sending him to hell would be a great option.

The bell rang snapping me out of my brewing revenge scheme. It was closing time already.

I stood up immediately from my seat, walked out of the class even before the teacher or anyone else could, but no one could query me, I mean if the principal can't, then who are the teachers to scold or query me?

Walking through the hallway towards commercial class, I heard someone call out my name and I knew just who it was, but I didn't respond.

"Tayo!"

I still didn't respond, instead I kept on walking, passing through the crowded hallway, then I felt a pull on my hand.

"What?" I yelled at her whilst I turned to look at her caramelized face. Some faces turned to my side, but I ignored as always. "What do you want?"

Her lips stretched into a ugly smile. "Well, I wanted to talk to you before you left the class in an hurry. . ."

"Well I'm busy! Also haven't I told you to never ever touch me? So don't try that again with me because i won't be nice."

"But Tayo. . ."

"Don't. But. Me." she looked shaken with the way I yelled at her, but who cares? She shouldn't had disturbed me. I smirked, looked straight into her thick black eyes. "Also, I never gave you the right to call me by my name! So, stop familiarizing."

I didn't wait for her response, I just continued my journey.

Incase you're wondering, that was Jolade Benson, my annoying classmate. Well, I had lots of annoying classmates but she was still the most annoying and pesty, she always felt like she had the right to talk to me just because her family and my family were really close family friends, but to hell with family friends, because I didn't care. Albeit, I had actually slept with her, just twice, and that was after my break up with my pinky- I could never cheat on my pinky. Never. She-Jolade, was the reason I had to change my phone number about six time's, especially after I'd slept with her, the pest actually thought I liked her.

Me?

Tayo Banku?

Like her? In. Her. Dreams! Howbeit, I'd made it clear to her that I didn't like her, at all. I could never ever like her, but the pest-like the name implies- wouldn't ever give up. She even claimed that I took her virginity, but like I'd said, who cares?

She was the nincompoop who gave herself to me willingly, because I was sure that I didn't force anything on her, thinking about it now, I couldn't even remember the times we'd spent together, that was how meaningless they were to me.

I cleared all the thoughts about that nettlesome flibbertigibbet, leaving only one person in my mind. The class was scanty as I entered, people were walking out of the class, but I saw her she was seated on her sit talking animatedly with Rayo. She wasn't smiling, neither was she frowning, but she had a impassive expression on her beautiful face. I walked closer to her sit and stood right in front of her desk, she didn't seem to notice me at first neither did Rayo, because they both looked really immersed in their conversation.

"Uhm. . . pink," my voice was annoyingly low, but she heard because she and Rayo faced me. I noticed her countenance change as she looked at me, I couldn't exactly say the mood, but I knew it wasn't hatered or sadness. "I came to see you." I told her and she released a beautiful smile.

That was she. The only one I could ever love, unlike some pestilence pest.

"I'll be in the cafeteria." Said Rayo before she left, leaving me, pink and some other humans in the class.

The tension was awkward as neither of us said anything to each other, even to breath was really awkward. I just stood looking at her, while she played with her fingers. I eventually got tired of the mute show so I decided to make the first move since I was the one who came around to see her. I turned around the desk and went to sit on Rayo seat, even as I was seated at a close proximity to her she didn't still spare me a glance, instead, she continued playing with her fingers.

"How are you doing?" I asked in order to ease the awkwardness between us.

"Fine." She still fixed her gaze at her fingers.

"Pink?" I called her and she looked at me. "Can I see your face?"

She kept her hand on the left side of her face, more like covering the side of her face, but I wasn't having any of that, so I took her hand and removed it from the side of her face, turned her head to the side, giving me a proper view of her face and my blood boiled at the sight of it. Her face was pinkish red, standing out from the rest of her flawless skin.

"Does it hurt?" I kept staring at her face, trying to compress the anger I was feeling inside.

She shook her head, "No."

"Tayo and pink!" I let go of Pink's hand and I snapped my head forward to see who called us, and there they were, two jobless fools, Tolu and Obinna, my classmates. They were two best friends who knew nothing than to make facetious remarks, in summary they both were a bunch of ninnyhammer's comprised with being a bird-brain and a dunce, in one word they both were oafs.

They both ambled towards us with a smug smile marring their faces.

"What?"

I asked as they finally got to our front, but those dimwits didn't reply as they kept smiling like the Preposterous humans they were.

"Sooooooo, me and Tolu were arguing," Obinna spoke up first. "Is it true that you and pink are back together?"

I rolled my eyes at the unreasonable question they asked, I mean what was I even expecting those dimwits to ask if not dimwitted questions. I stood up without sparing them a glance and walked out of the class.

I went back to my class and took my school bag. I would had gone to check on Wendell in his class, but I was still angry with him because he didn't allow me to beat up that bastard, so I didn't go to see him, on the contrary I had a revenge to carry out on someone, so I just walked out of the SS3 building at the same time I saw my driver pull-up and I entered into the car.

"Oga, good afternoon sir," he greeted and I gave him a Curt nod.

"Did you do what I asked you to do?" I asked, propping my school bag beside me.

"Yes sir," He showed his phone to me and it displayed the picture of that bastard in a school uniform, standing outside of a building that didn't look posh, at all. "His name is Tega, he schools in a government school on the mainland."

I smirked as I listened to all the information while I played out how my perfect revenge would go. "Did you get the cane?" The driver retreated his phone.

"Yes sir, it's on the floor," I looked down and true to his words the cane was laying on the floor. I picked it up and it was thin, but I didn't mind because I was aware that thin canes makes the most marks.

"To the mainland." I told him and the car roared to life.

*. *. *.

The mainland wasn't that different from the Island, except that the houses there were older, and it was more populated. I watched from the window as everyone went about minding their business, lots of students in school uniform walking in groups, hawkers going about hawking their commodities, the over crowded market places, the typical Nigeria yellow bus, tricycles, the faded cream colored coaster buses, the new BRT buses, some moving, some still picking up commuters at their terminals.

"Oga, we are there." The driver pulled up by the side of the road. I turned my head to the other side, and there it was, the school, CMS Grammar school. It was gigantic but the structure wasn't alluring. I watched as the Students trooped out of the school building like ants, making the whole place rowdy.

"When would he be out?" I asked the driver.

"Anytime from now," he looked at the time on his phone.

I removed my blazer and my tie, unbuttoned the first three buttons on my shirt then continued looking outside at the students.

*. *. *.

"Have you seen him?" I yawned, already getting impatient of waiting, because we'd been waiting for more than five minutes.

"No Oga, but I'm sure that he would soon be out." I nodded.

"He is out." The driver said earning my full attention, I looked out of the window and truly he was out and luckily for me he was standing all alone.

I took the cane from the floor and sat uprightly, I noticed the suspicious look the driver gave to me.

"Whatever happens outside don't stop me." I didn't wait for his reply before I stormed out of the car.

I rolled up the sleeves of my shirt up to my elbow, flexed my arm bones along with the cane while I ran to meet the bastard who had his back facing me. His bag was at his back, so, I couldn't wipe him there. Meaning I had to wipe his neck.

On getting to where he was, I used to the cane to wipe him hard on his neck and he turned back to me immediately on reflex, threw his bag pack to the floor, but I wasn't going to converse with him,so I wiped him again, this time it landed on his cheek bone, but the unfortunate cane had to break, so I threw it away and the guy was looking at me, groaning in pain. I smirked in satisfaction because he looked really in pain, and that made me happy.

I moved back a little, flexing my elbows and my legs, at that moment I thanked God that I was putting on a really comfy sneakers, instead of the normal leather shoe. I looked around and noticed that people were already surrounding us, then what followed next, I wasn't expecting.

I received a blow to my nose.

At first I was shocked because of the impact of the punch. It seemed like my breathing siezed, but thankfully I was able to recompose myself just in time to retaliate, and we kept on going at intervals, till he raked me down, my back colliding with the floor roughly, then he pounced on me, but I wasn't going to allow him to take the upper hand, so I used every ounce of strength in my body to turn him over, slamming his back on the floor, then I was on top, punching and slapping him.

I could hear chantings of fight! Fight!! Fight!!! From the crowd around but I was too busy destroying someone's face to spare them a glance, then I felt a punch to my lips and blood spewed into my mouth.

God! it was painful but I still tried to remaining with the upper hand, although the guy was powerful.

Then I felt a sting at my back, but I paid to attention to it, instead, I continued to reconstruct the bastard face with my punch, then I felt another painful sting at my back which made me stand up from the guy and look up. I saw two shorter men with canes in their hands, I was about to snap at them when they started wiping me and that bastard with their canes.

The cane was really painful, my eyes started to tear up, but I wasn't going to allow the tears fall.

Never!

I'm Tayo Banku so I can't cry.

I can't cry!

I can't cry!

I can't cry!

I groaned in pain with every lashes of cane that rained down on me.

I had never been beaten before in my entire life, the cane was so painful to the extent that I couldn't stop scratching my body as their cane came in contact with my body. It felt like my skin was tearing, real bad, then their canes touched my face. I didn't know how, but I felt the hot tears roll down my face.

It was really painful. . .

"Stop, y'all should stop," i heard someone say but they didn't stop wiping me so I couldn't see who it was.

"Please y'all should just stop," I heard the voice say again and they stopped beating me and I looked up to see my driver holding their canes.

*. *. *.

"Who are you?" The thin man asked me again but I didn't answer as I knelt on my knees. I was in the principal's office, along with that bastard and the two men's who kept flogging us outside, my driver was also here with us and he kept telling them that my dad was Mr Banku, but those fools didn't believe. "What did you come here for?"

I still didn't answer and that earned me a wipe from one of the teachers with pot belly who stood by my side. "Answer! Or are you deaf?"

I still didn't answer and he wiped me again on my back, once again it was really painful and it brought fresh tears to my eyes, again.

But I can't cry!

"Stop beating him," My driver spoke up in a really commanding tone that shook everyone including me. "He isn't an animal so stop beating him like that."

"He is an animal, because only animals fight, so he has to be flogged like one." The teacher with a pot belly Retorted.

"Well, I won't allow him to be beaten, so you guys should release him now," my driver kept saying and at that moment I felt happy that someone was defending me, someone was actually standing up for me. "You know if his father should know how you're beating him, he wouldn't take it lightly."

Indeed.

The thin teacher laughed, "His father you say, this boy doesn't have home training, because someone with Good home training wouldn't be doing John Cena up and down." He said and I glared at him through my teary eyes, because he had just indirectly insulted my parents and I didn't know why, but those words hurt me.

"See y'all should stop all this bantering, see Mr what is your name?" The principal asked my driver.

"Abraham." He answered and I registered his name in my head because I'd never even bothered to ask about his name throughout the one year that he'd been working as my driver.

"Call his dad." The principal said.

"No!" I quickly countered and they all looked at me, including that bastard.

"So you still have mouth to talk with that your bursted lips." The pot belly teacher said as he used his cane to wipe me at my back again and the tears in my eyes streamed down fully, on their own accord.

The cane was painful.

"I said stop beating him!" Abraham voice resonated through the room and there was silence until the principal spoke.

"Have you called Tega's mum?" He asked and the pot belly teacher nodded in response then silence engulfed the whole room, nonetheless my body was hurting wretchedly.

Abraham went outside leaving me alone with the rest. The bastard by my side didn't even say anything, he just kept his gaze on the floor, I brought my gaze up to his face and I was happy with the amount of reconstruction I was able to do to his face at such a short amount of time.

If those idiotic teachers hadn't interfered then I would have finished him, and that would have made me more happier.

"His guardian is coming." Abraham entered into the office back and I stared at him Wondering what he meant by that statement, because my parents couldn't possibly be in town, meaning it had to be my elder sister.

Minutes passed and I was still at the same position, on my knees same as Tega. Abraham was seated on a long sofa along with the two other teachers who were busy conversing with the principal.

There was a knock on the door which gained all our attention.

"Come in." The principal said and we saw a woman with a young guy about my age enter into the office, the woman and the boy bored a really strong resemblance with each other that I could tell instantly that he was her son, immediately the door was closed she got to her knees and crawled quickly to the front of the principal, and she was. . .she was crying.

"Èjó, Mr principal don't expell my son, please sir," She begged on her knees while the teachers tried to raise her up, but she didn't seem like she was giving up and my eyes shifted to where Tega knelt, his face was bowed down and what surprised me was that he was crying, shedding real tears. I looked away from him and looked at the woman who kept begging the principal and I don't know why, but i felt a pang in my chest as I watched the woman cry.

Where they really going to expell Her son?; The woman didn't seem to care about the hands that where trying to raise her up as she remained persistent on begging the principal.

Guilt pricked me as I watched her, feeling bad that I was partially responsible for her cries because if I hadn't gotten into a fight with her son then all this wouldn't had happened, although Tega was also at fault for laying his hands on my Pinky, and he was even lucky that he got out of my hands alive.

I felt someone was looking at me amidst the whole drama that was happening right in front of me, so I turned back and saw the other guy looking at me in a really weird way, I frowned at him expecting him to look away but he didn't, he just kept staring at me, so I looked away.

Later the woman was seated and I learnt that she was a single mum, and the other guy was his younger brother, I also heard that Tega was twenty one years old, apparently he had been repeating class, so him and his younger brother were classmates, they were both in SS3.

There was another knock at the door again which gained all our attention once more.

"Come in." The principal said and the door clicked opened, the person I saw made my jaw drop.

I was shocked.

It was my parternal Grandma, my dad's mum, my Nana, the iyaoloja of Nigeria.

Alhaja Tamike Badore Banku.

I didn't even know that she was in town. She entered into the office with my elder sister. She stood tall as she looked around the room, her white blouse and wrapper sparkling and the whole scent in the room changed. She locked eyes with me and she smiled, came closer to me, dragged me up, then pulled me into a hug that I really needed, though my body was sore from all the beating I had received I still needed that hug and tears fell as I hugged my Nana.

"It's okay my love." My Nana whispered to me, patting me on my back where the cane had done a really bad damage to and I released a soft groan. She released me from the hug, bowed my head down and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. "Who wiped you on your face?" She asked clean the tears on my face, however I didn't answer her.

"Good afternoon Iyaoloja."

Every one in the room were all on their foots, well apart from Tega.

"It's Alhaja," She corrected the principal then she went to where Tega was kneeling, she held him by his hand and dragged him up, So we both were standing. "I'm here for my grandson and who wiped him on his face?"

"Have your sit Alhaja" The principal had a huge grin on his face as he spoke. My Nana nodded then sat opposite him near Tega's mum who was still standing.

"You all can seat." They all sat at my Nana request and my sister came to stand near me but I paid no attention to her.

"We are very sorry Alhaja, we didn't know that he was your grandson, unless he wouldn't had been beaten. We're very sorry ma'am." The principal apologized along with two foolish teachers who couldn't even raise their heads up to look at me.

Well, what can I say? That's the thing about wealth and power, once you have them, people would fear and respect you and you'd always be in control no matter who is wrong.

"Alhaja, you grandson came to our school and caused a ruckus by fighting with one of our students and that's his mother near you." The principal had said, pointing at Tega's mum.

"I'll scold him at home," My grandma said. "So who wiped him on his face?" Still no one answered her.

My Nana turned to Tega's mum and told her: "I'm really sorry about your son, I might not know what caused their fight but I'll compensate you for everything and foot any hospital bill."

"Èsé ma." The woman said, almost kneeling but my Nana was quick to raise her up before she could.

"Y'all should wait outside." The principal said, and I went outside along with Tega and his brother.

We all stood outside the office without saying anything, I stood my the door, Tega sat on the floor, his head bowed down so I couldn't properly see his face, while his brother leaned against the wall opposite me. We all didn't utter a word to each other, my body was really hurting, my leg, my back, I was in pain, it felt like I was being stung by a bee in every part of my body, especially my elbows, so, I decided to check it and mehnnnn... it wasn't nice, my elbow was bleeding.

"Take," I looked up and saw Tega's brother stretching a white handkerchief to me but I shook my head in response. "It's new, so don't worry, also you need to clean that blood," he said and as I was about to collect the handkerchief from him his skin touched mine and it felt as if a jolt of electricity passed through me as our skin came in contact, making the handkerchief fall on the floor. I looked at him and his expression mirrored mine.

I was too stunned to talk, wondering if what I felt was as a result of the stinging sensation all over my body, but the way he was looking at me showed that he also felt it.

"What was that?" I asked, but he didn't answer rather he ran away and I went after him, limping and groaning in pain as I stressed my sore body and leg. "Stop!" and he halted right in front of a class block. "What was that?" I asked again.

He looked at me, "You need to chill," he said and I frowned my face in confusion. "See," He started. "I knew this day would come."

"What?" I asked, because he was clearly confusing me.

He looked at me straight in the eyes. "I'm a seer, I can see the future," he said still not breaking eye contact, while my brain tried to process what he had said. "See, you need to be careful."

"Be careful from what?" I asked.

He shook his head. "You need to learn how to control you anger." he told me while I just listened.

"I don't understand." I told him.

He shook is head as if he was regretting something then he started moving backwards, "Tayo. . . your time is limited." then he ran off while I stood on a spot trying to digest what he had told me.

"Tayo. . .your time is limited."

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺😪I'm speechless, I really don't know what to say. What did Tega brother mean by telling Tayo what he said.💔💔💔 Also how did Tega's brother know Tayo name?
