Sheens woke up to screaming and wailing sounds. She groaned and covered her ears with her pillow. It is Saturday for crying out loud, can't they keep it down a bit for some of them to sleep in a few minutes more?

"What is happening girls?!"

The voice of the hostel mistress jerks her up from her bed. The hostel mistress being around could only mean one thing.

Trouble.

Excited and scared at the same time, she rolls out of bed and move towards the next room, the direction from where the screams are coming from. Her other room mates have left the room already. As she gets to the next room, she finds that the girls all crowd around a particular bunk. She walks apprehensively towards them.

The hostel mistress is shaking someone vigorously on the top bunk, but there is no response. Sheens pinches her arm to convince herself that she is awake and not dreaming. Some first year girls huddle in a corner, crying.

Sheens continue to move slowly towards the bunk of interest. The hostel mistress is on the phone now, talking about an ambulance and an unconscious - probably dead- student.

Some members of staff have started arriving to dismiss the students to their various rooms and hostels.

Sheens could not take her eyes off the bunk bed. She feels her whole body shaking from the shock of what is before her; of that particular bed, that kid. She almost spoke to her the previous week, before dinner, to ask her if she needed help.
But she didn't.

And now, it is too late.

Everything afterwards becomes a blur as someone pushes her out of the room to the quadrangle where others were either crying or gossiping.

Why didn't she talk to the girl? Why did she ignore her like others did? Nobody took her serious, even her parents didn't, like Sheens heard.

The rest of the girls just bullied Lolu and made fun of her. Something was seriously wrong with the girl the previous night and Sheens knew that, but she didn't take any step to help.

She watched as the others pushed her around, and even though she didn't like it, she didn't stop it either.

And now, Lolu is dead.

Will she ever forgive herself of this?
