Ebuka POV

Immediately assembly was over, I, Kelvin and Emmanuella headed straight for the administrative block. While we were on our way there, they filled me in on the plan since I didn't show up the other day. But on the bright side it was a good thing I chose to ditch them. If I didn't, I won't have found out about that stranger that appeared out of nowhere in Tomiwa's ward. I wanted to say he was a ghost but that was far fetched. There is no way he would be a ghost and he would be able to lay his filthy hands and lips to touch Tomiwa like that.

"Alright Ebuka we are here. Please let Emmanuella do the talking okay? And about that guy you said you saw in Tomiwa's ward, there is nothing we can do if we don't have a name. So for now don't mention it when we get in there." Kelvin lectured me and I raised my brow at him in a questioning manner. He couldn't tell me what to say and can't say but just as I was about to object him, Emmanuella interfered. I sighed and slumped my shoulders.

"Fine." I simply said as I took the lead knocing on the door of the principal's office. We heard a faint "come in" and we all went in one after the other. She looked at us expectantly and we all bowed out head slightly to greet her.

"Yes. Just the people I wanted to see. What happened here on Friday evening, I want the truth."

We were quiet for a while looking at eachother's face. We most certainly didn't think she would find out, more importantly we didn't think she would ask us so directly like this. I sighed and stepped forward since Kelvin and Emmanuella were reluctant to talk.

"Ma, we apprehended Amarachi, one of Victoria's friends. She didn't want to talk or give us the information we needed, so we had to find a way of getting her to talk.  Lydia and Mercy worked together to create animated voice that sounded just like her sister. Trust me ma'am no one was hurt, we only did that to make her talk, and it worked just fine without hurting-—"

She raised her hand and that made me stop. I stepped back while  we all watched her remove her rimless glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose. For a second the silence was becoming unbearable  but thank goodness she broke the silence by saying...

" You kids sure have some nerves. But I get it's for the greater good. So what was Amarachi confession?"

"Well in other not to dilute the information, we have the recordings right here ma." Emmanuella said stepping forward placing the recording tape on the table. It immediately came to life re - playing every single word that was recorded that day. The recording was a 15 minute recording and while she listened to it she shook her head in pity with a sad and  crestfallen look on her face. Even I felt bad for her as the principal that she had to go through issues like this just because of one student.  She pinched the bridge of her nose again exhausted before saying.

"Leave the recording. You all did a good job so you can go. I'll take it up from here."

We smiled at her and took a bow before leaving one after the other. I sighed, releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding.  How long have I been holding my breath? I don't know but either way I am glad the principal had proof that Tomiwa was innocent and she can as well forget about what ever punishment she had in store for her. Instead it will be nice if she could transfer all the punishment to Victoria in double folds  because that girl has been a walking menis in our lives.

"Ehem... Penny for your throughts?" Kelvin asked once we were seated under the monument. It was almost lunch break already so there was no use going to class. Besides it's not like we have a class we need to get to. I thought as I looked at Kelvin who was still looking at me.

After a while of me saying absolutely nothing, he spoke up again, asking...

"Hey you should be smiling right now. We finally delivered evidence to the principal safe and sound."

I scoffed and responded a bit irritated saying... "Easy for you to say. You are not the one who is stuck in a coma yet you hear some stranger hovering over you, harassing you sexually." 

He frowned at my statement but chose not to say anything. I looked away and stared into space thinking of a way for us to get the name of that stranger. I am sure the answer isn't far fetched. I just needed to think and I groaned when nothing was coming to mind.

Kelvin sighed, and stood up when he saw Lydia and the rest of the gang approaching.

"I know a way we can find the strangers name, but we would need to eat lunch first."

I looked at Kelvin like he had somehow grwn two heads. Did he seriously just say that or it fell from his mouth? I thought as I looked at him incredibly. He wants me t to eat like all was well already when I knew it was still very far from being well. I was about to open my mouth to object but my tummy growled at me hungrily indirectly asking me to shut up.

"Looks like somebody's very hungry. Thank goodness the time keeper is going to ring the bell."

Lydia said excitedly. I groaned in response and 5 seconds later the bell was rung and my friends dragged me toward the cafeteria.

This people will literally be the death of me I complained within me. In as much as they annoy me and get on my nerves, I couldn't help but bask in the euphoria that they cared about me. I smiled subtlely as I ordered plantain and egg sauce with turkey while the rest ordered the same thing in other to do solidarity with me. I just laughed at them saying...

"You all are not alright you guys."

We all ate while making small talks with ourselves and my smile got broader. Things weren't excatly rosy because Neco exam was closing in and Tomiwa wasn't awake yet, but at least we were really going through this as a team, as friends.

"So Ebuka here is the plan. You'll meet up with a friend who is a good artist. He will draw and image  according to the Description and the video you give him on how that stanger looks like. Once that is down, we will be able to find him and his name, then report him for sexual assault for Tomiwa's case to the police."

"Yeah and we will see to it that they mobilize a search party to look for him, even as far as placing him wanted so that whoever could bring him alive to the police station gets a whooping sum of money."

I smiled liking how my friends, Lydia and Emma were talking. This was what I liked to hear, what I love to see.

I chuckled in response, nodding my head in agreement. They kept talking, and I only chipped in a few times as we all talked about everything that happened to us so far. It was then I concluded we  really needed to rewind and chill, maybe have a slumber party.

And  the perfect night?

On the night of graduation.
