Mary My Student

Episode 41

The exams resumed after the week of grace was over. Though the particular examination didn’t concern Rita but she came anyway.
I went out to ease myself at the restroom when returning I caught a glimpse of her and then she did a signal and I know what it meant. She wanted to talk to me. It was a single only understood between two of us as a whole sentence can be said with just a finger gesture or simply crooking a finger.

This is how I sometimes tell her the answer in the exams hall without saying a word or slipping in any piece of paper.

I walked over to her. She was beside the examination hall but it was out of sight of any prying eyes and poking noses, she was like
” Sweedy I have to go home.”
” Anything’s wrong?” I queried.
” No not at all, I just got a call from my parents and they want to see me and thank God I’m not occupied today.
” Wait did you say parents? I thought you were an orphan.” I wondered out loud.
” Orphan? Oh! no!” Rita gave a short laugh. ” No I’m not an orphan, I know it’s just that you’ve never broached the subject before and never cared to ask.”
” Not that I didn’t care, it’s just that I didn’t want to see you burst into tears if I mention them as some people are bound to do.”

” I know!” Rita gave a half smile, and I refrained from telling you about my parents because I felt you might freak out. As some parents are very much against their children dating teachers and I saw you as the type who doesn’t like trouble, though I would have told you had you asked about it.”
I nodded.

” But are you living together with them?”
” No, they are both working class people, they are living at where my former school is, and due to what happened I had to relocate, but they couldn’t relocate with me because of their work. They are now going for their vacation and decided to stop by to see how I’m faring. I thought leaving them was the first real test of my life, many might fear I would grow wild when I am out of sight of their watchful eyes. Anyway the woman they recommended me to stay with is a good woman despite being a loudmouth, she is honest and transparent.”
” So how about siblings?” I asked.
” I had a brother, he died.”
” Oh I’m so sorry,” I said with genuine pity ” it must have been so painful for you may his soul rest in peace.

” Amen.” But Rita didn’t look like somebody that was sad, she looked as if she was restraining herself from laughing out loud. But I didn’t probe because I didn’t know if she was about to burst into tears.
” But I didn’t tell you the manner which he died.”

I shrugged. ” Probably an accident or something tragic that you might not want to remind yourself of.”
” No something different. He died in the course of completing a dare.”
” A dare?”
Rita nodded. ” Yes a dare.”
” Was he dared to snap his own neck and he did?”

” No. He was dared to have sex with ten girls at a time and he dies while doing it. People later suggested that he might have had sexual diabetes and so the sex was too sweet, they said it was the sweetness of the sex that killed him.”

Rita stared straight at my face as I was trying hard to keep myself from laughing.
” It’s okay you can laugh, I laughed myself when I first heard it.”

With that I burst out and she joined in.
” Well those girls were his classmates I don’t know how he got into their midst, then someone suggested truth or dare. According to one of the girls that participated, he had dared them to do things that they’ve never done before, like daring the girls to perform cunnilingus on another girl or daring them to lick another girl’s anus. He dared the shyest girl in the group to strip naked and masturbate herself to o—-m in front of them.
