"You are sleeping, haven't you heard? The cult list has changed to expulsion list."
"What the....? It is a lie this can't be true" I said bursting into tears, fortunately there was no one else in the room.
Bisola tried as much as she could to console me but I just couldn't stop weeping.
"Instead of you just crying why don't you go and see him?"
Good idea, I thought. I didn't even take my bath, just dressed not even bothering with make up I headed for Sodeinde.
We got there and bribed the porters to allow us go in because it was not yet time for female visitors.
My heart was pounding by the time we got the door, it was Bisola that knocked.
Unfortunately there was nobody around. I was already writing a note for him when we heard our names.
I turned around to see a worn and tired looking Seyi, I jumped at him I didn't even want to let him go for a second. I could not imagine what he was going through, try as much as I could.
He exchanged pleasantries with Bisola, and then Bisola made a nice exit by telling him she had classes to attend.
We both entered his room and had a long talk, about what he was going to do when he gets his expulsion letter.
"Honey, I have to start again I have no other option, I know I'm not worth you, but I swear someday I will make it up to you. I know my mom will be disappointed in me I only wish things were different. I love you and will make sure nothing happens to you even if I have to die to make the promise."
I was just comforting him because I didn't know what to say.
"Seyi...." My voice died off as a knock was heard on the door. He went to answer the door, I didn't get to see who it was because he went out to talk with the person, and getting back his expression was very grave.
"Seyi what were you told?" I asked him.
"Honey, I want you to go back to your hall and I will come for you later in the day."
"Why now? Don't I have a right to know or is this what will be happening between us. By the way who was the person and what did he or she want?"
"I swear I will tell you later but this is not the right time for me. Won't you just trust me if nothing else", He said standing and looking straight into my eyes.
"I guess so, " I said grudgingly.
He saw me to the bus stop where I took a bus back to my hall.
I saw Bisola but there was nothing else I could tell her than what we both knew before.
To me it seemed to me like I waited for years. When it was 8pm and Seyi was not yet in my room I went back to check for him. "After all, if the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the mountain."
I walked down to his room, I did this to clear my head and I know maybe I should have gone with Bisola but I just wanted to be alone, she is suffocating me with pity and it's grating on my nerves. I know she meant well, I guess I am just on a short fuse.
I got to the room and saw from the window that the room was in darkness, I still knocked to be sure. There was no answer, I stood undecided for some minutes when I saw a guy about to open the door to his room, which was opposite Seyi's own.
"Excuse me please, I will like a sheet of paper to drop a note for someone"
"Who exactly are you looking for?" he asked. I answered him.
"Don't worry, I will get him for you I saw him now across the corridor"
"Thank you very much".
He now offered for me to sit in his room but I declined by telling him I preferred waiting outside. He came back with Seyi, some few minutes after.
"Did I not tell you to wait for me in your room?". He asked before we entered his room.
"I am sorry if I disobeyed you but I couldn't wait anymore I had to see you" I was saying it with tears in my eyes.
"You know I hate it when you cry" He said pulling me close to him. This was too much for me because I burst into uncontrollable tears immediately he touched me.
"I have to make you stop crying". He started nibbling kisses all over my face, all the time whispering sweet nothings.
I started responding shyly at first then later got bolder and freer. I felt his hardness and I couldn't resist caressing him there, I stopped thinking at that point in time but I was miraculously brought back to reality by a knock on the door.
He ignored it but it was too late, I pushed him away from me.
He stood up stared at me for some seconds then went to answer the door. The guy peeped in and greeted me, I've not seen the face before. "Sister sorry, this won't take a minute."
"No problem" I said
They went outside for some time, and then Seyi came back in alone looking thoughtful.
"Honey please I will like to pack some things, just give me a hand"
"What are you packing? And why?"
"There is going to be trouble in school soon, between the "Black Axe" and "Eye" (flyers)"
"But why now?" He was already throwing his clothes on his bed and I was folding them for it to fill the backpack.
"They wanted vengeance against the school, but Black Axe refused, in the cause of argument, Flyers number one was slapped".
We finished packing, locked the room and left.
Outside the hall the whole place was jam-packed with boys. There was a cacophony of shouting, violent arguing and so on.
He implored me to move faster, we hadn't gotten to the AP filling station when 'Katakata' (Trouble) burst.
