The long awaited POV is here.

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you... 🤭💃💃

Kelvin's Pov.

You know that moment in life where you say something and immediately you said it, you instantly regretted it.

That was what I felt immediately I asked  Erinfolami that question. I knew that I had gone far and pushed her to the wall.

My cheeks began to sting at the memory of the slap she gave to me.

Damn!

Her hands are painful like...

I could not react to all the beating she gave me  because I knew that I deserved it. She was hurt and I was to be blamed for that.

But what exactly could be the problem?

The party was left on an awkward note for those of us playing the game. There was an air filled with tension and shock everywhere.

I knew what happened would have probably caused a buzz news all the school.

"You see what you have caused?"  My subconscious screamed at me.

I felt tears forming in my eyes but it was not from the beatings she gave me but from the pain I knew she was facing.

I left the party quite early and called uncle Bankole to pick me up. I waited for him to arrive.

I saw the headlights of his car and I waited for him to properly park before I got him.

I got into the car silently bending my head over but unfortunately for me my mum and I was startled because of her loud scream .

"Blood of Jesus! What I'd this on your face?" She said caressing and assessing.

" My face?" I asked oblivious to the marks and bruises already formed on my face.

I immediately pulled out the mirror and I was shocked at the reflection staring back at me.

There was a thick purple ring around my eyes and red finger marks all over my face.

In one phrase, I look like shit!

"What happened kel baby?" My mom asked curiously.

"It's nothing. '' I quickly dismissed.

" Don't you tell me it is nothing young man. You tell me you are going for a party and now you are here with bruises all over you so don't tell me it's nothing! " She snapped at me.

I rubbed my temples in frustration.

" We were playing a game and I got beaten because I lost the game. " I lied.

" And why is that you always get injured in this your new school? Where are the people who beat, I need to have a word with them. Do they think they can just beat you like that ehn? " She said and made for the door in an attempt to go outside.

" Mummy stop! " I said while pulling her wrists back.

" Don't tell me that, they can not just beat you and go scot free! " She screamed back at me .

" So what do fucking want to ehn! Go there and start spanking them on the ass for beating your son in a game he was playing with them? I'm not a baby and you really need to understand that. It has happened so just let us go home I need to sleep NOW! " I said laying emphasis on the now with anger coursing through my blood.

Why exactly are you angry ehn?

I stopped to catch my breath because I rushed my words in one breath. Uncle Bankole just sat st the back watching our drama like a Netflix series .

My words seemed to settle harshly in my mom's heart as I watched her sit down with tears forming in her eyes.

Second person I'm offending in a day.

Could you get any clumsier!

Uncle Bankole drove the car and we all sat down in silence.

Soon enough we got home ,I got out of the the car and attempted to start a conversation with Uncle Bankole but before I could say anything he shut me up.

"Just go and sleep boy!" His tone was calm so I could not detect if he was angry at me or not.

Sighing I resigned reluctantly to my bed and soon drifted to sleep.

*****

Did I sleep well?

Of course I did

Just joking...

I could not sleep well, I was feeling too guilty too be able to sleep properly.

I glanced at the wall clock in my room and the time read .

Quarter to 11am.

I just had this blank pit in my head and in my stomach.

I was angry and hungry, a very bad combination.

I turned on my mobile data to check my WhatsApp messages and was stunned at what I saw on the SSS 3 WhatsApp.

@Erioluwa: I don't blame all of you. I made the mistake of opening the group down.

@Erioluwa allowed only admins to message the group.

I just sat on my bed reading all of the messages and wishing that there was a way I could defend Erin.

I was bored and needed something to do. I scrolled through the group and read the group info. All through my stay in the school I never really went through the group so I decided to do just that out of boredom.

I scrolled through the ptefectship list and realized that I didn't know majority of them. It has been six weeks of me being in this school and I was a ghost to many people until know when I just brought myself to the spotlight.

I went to check the profile picture of Erin and I was wowed. She was effortless beautiful.

I then decided to do the most unthinkable thing I have ever done in my life.

I messaged her

Hi Erin

This is kelvin chatting you. I just wanted to apologise for what I asked you in the party . I know I should not have and that is why I'm asking for you to forgive me.

Please. 🥺🥺

Urmm... Can we meet.

As soon as I messaged her I regretted it.

"Oh my goodness what have I done.  " I panicked and resorted to deleting the message but it was too late.

Erinfolami was typing already.

I began to imagine a thousand and one ways in which should insult me.

Yeah sure!

I read her reply in disbelief and refused to accept that she was the one typing.

So I began to type again.

Erin is that you?

Are you sure?

I waited for her response and in a couple of seconds it came in.

It is me and yes I'm sure.
I'll be going out to buy fuel at Kerozone petrol station meet me there in about 20 minutes.

I was still shocked but nonetheless I was happy.  Happy that at atleast she was willing to hear me out.
