Hot Eyes – Episode 2

HOT EYES EPISODE 2

© Abhynha Yankey

He went to his school father’s end to wake him up for something small to sustain him till daybreak.

Sleep had totally taken his school father. He tried to wake him up but was fast asleep. He couldn’t control himself anymore so he decided to open the chop box and get something for himself.

His school father woke up as soon as he opened the chop box. He really looked wild when he saw him around his things though he didn’t shout.

He held him tightly around his fist, sat him on his bed and looked straight into his eyes. Lexis finally broke the silence…

Lexis: please I’m not a thief. I woke you up severally but. ..

School father: You did what? I’m not dead. I saw all you were trying to do. It’s late now but first thing tomorrow morning, I will take you to the house master. You don’t deserve to be among us.

Lexis: please (on his knees). I’m begging you.

School father: are you really scared? Then I will give you options to choose from. Since you are too broke to even get sachet water for yourself, you will join me in my group. We will usher you into it and nothing, I repeat, nothing will be a problem to you, or I report you to the school authorities so that they sack you.

It was left to him to think through. Both decisions were dangerous. He was given few minutes to make his decision. He opted to be reported to the school authorities. His school father rose from his bed and headed towards the door. He was getting scared now. He probably made a wrong decision. He ran to him and told him he would join his group.

It was as if his school father did not hear him well. He repeated himself. His school father was so happy. He had finally won a soul.

(Wait, wait!!, where do you think he was going at that time? That was coincidental.)

He took Lexis by the hand and headed to their old school block. It was very late but he heard some noise coming from that place.

His school father turned to face him. “You will be ushered any time soon, and you will be very rich and powerful. If you decide to turn back now or run away, you will go mad.

The spirit captivated you the very moment you accepted to be part of us. They are only waiting for me to present you.”

He was getting scared now.

_

They are only waiting for me to present you.”

He was getting scared now.

…but it was too late. He couldn’t turn back the hand of time. He would rather get rich than go mad or be sacked, besides, his father was wealthy until he had that fatal accident.

He decided to go with his school father. He nearly ran away when he got there. They were all dressed in red pants with red bands around their wrists, dancing round a pot filled with fire.

“This is very dangerous”, he thought, but it was too late.

They began to shout and jubilate when they saw him. They knew they had won a soul. He was pushed to the leader who interrogated him. He outlined the rules of the game to him. He was too scared to even raise his head.

He was forced to raise his head and respond to the necessary questions.

Gosh! Was he really seeing well? That was the head prefect of the school.

No wonder he had everything on his own. He was the richest guy in the school.

Lexis couldn’t shut his mouth when he saw him.

It took one of the gangs to help him shut his mouth with a slap from behind.

He was pushed to where the whole gang had gathered. They were still going round the pot.

He was forced to take in some substance which was in another pot. You could see from all indications that it was very bitter.

After the substance had been taken in, he was then introduced as a new convert.

He was happy. Though it was against his belief, he knew the hardship would soon be over.

He was happy. Though it was against his belief, he knew the hardship would soon be over.

He was full of life now. He saw himself becoming richer and richer each passing day.

There was nothing to be suspicious of since he came from a wealthy home. He was now seen by his school father as a brother and a colleague. They were most often seen together.

The only time they were separate was class hours. He was still a baby in the group so he needed to be guided.

He gained enough to take care of himself.

He started boycotting classes. As for church service, he saw it to be a waste of time.

It seemed it was too early for him to wear such attitude.

On many occasions, he was warned by his teachers about his attitude to classes.

As if that was not enough, he was not going to the dinning hall,knowing very well that it was against the school rules.

He had finally forgotten about his Christian background. He became popular on campus for his bad behavior.

The name “Lexis” was no more in existence. “Raspony” was his new name.

His behavior was getting out of hand so his mother was surmoned to the school.

He hardly gave any respect to his mother when he saw her.

He was made to sign a “bond of good behavior” with the mother being a witness.

She cried and begged her son to turn on a new leaf.

It was as if his mother was wasting his time so he had to respond so that she would stop the noise and leave.

He brought out huge amount of money and handed it over to his mother but she rejected it and left.
