crimson by Rapmike Episode 8 Aminat looked stunned with surprise as she looked at the man she called her dad, who went inside after his ranting. Then like small drops before a shower of rain, she started to sob quietly. If only she knew what will happen next, she may have saved those tears for later. Michael was walking back home after failing to get Aminat to tell him what was happening when he noticed them. They were three,maybe four boys following him at a distance. They looked eager to get to him unnoticed and often veered off to another street when he looked back,only to continue to tail him when his gaze is off them. He was uneasy about them,because they were certainly older than him by a few years. He decided to branch off to a street away from the direction of his house. That was his mistake! He turned round and noticed them coming towards him, their paces increasing by the second. He had no choice than to go into different streets from time to time, confusing the boys. he supposedly did a good work of that and was confidently walking home,when a punch came from nowhere, hitting his face with venom. He staggered back,and was soon engaged in a tussle with one of the boys, who held him down until the rest came. They then ganged up against him, tied him and started beating him mercilessly with planks,bamboo sticks and virtually anything they could lay their hand on. He was passing out when he saw a man running towards them from a distance Paul was angry as he returned from the school. The Michael incident had got to the school management and was the center of discussion in the afternoon break by the teachers. Almost all the teachers had proffered stiff penalties for both of them, not minding how embarrassing it will be. Paul has tried to water down the offence, stating their obvious age and naivety as reasons for a lighter punishment. The other teachers had none of it however, and called for Michaels head. What angered Paul the most about the incident was that barely a week ago, two guys were caught in a more compromising position with three girls and the teachers dismissed it. He had the feeling that the supposed infurity of the teachers was due to the fact that Michael was Igbo. He then took a turn form the usual route back home, in order to think. If he did not do that, Michael may have not survived what was happening to him! He had decided to pass a longer route to his abode because he wanted to think on the way, his thoughts were however interrupted by what seemed to be the merciless mauling of a boy by some irate youths. He wanted to turn a blind eye since this was not new, but the way the boys were dishing out the beating touched his heart. He said if it was Michael that was beaten like that, he would want to intervene. As he got nearer to the scene, he suddenly realised that it was not just any boy that was been beaten, it was Michael, his own Michael, who he took as a blood brother. His anger skyrocketed all of a sudden, with his feet following suit. His face was murderous as he approached the lads, who fled at the sight of him. He approached Michael and tried to call his name. Michael, who was knocked out, did not respond. He was worried and quickly decided to move Michael. He quickly lifted them over his shoulders and moved as fast as his legs would go. He soon stopped a bike and zoomed off. to be continued
