MISCHIEF

Ekwueme Memorial has always been rated as one of the best. It was an instrumental place for students of great minds and was a vital place for survival. Obiajulum was going to be among the many students given the privilege to study at this prestigious school. Although he wasn’t so pleased with the change of environment, he still had to go since there wasn’t anything he could do.

“We have arrived.” Ozoemena said to his son’s hearing.

Obiajulum could only stare while his father handed his belongings to him. He found his voice still, and asked why his mother was unable to come.

“Do not forget what your mother and I have been teaching you,” His father made to change the subject.

“The morals we’ve instilled, everything—he stressed—’DO NOT FORGET’”

Obiajulum nodded his head in agreement.

Ozoemena went further to advise his son on always being kind, reminding him once again, about the family he came from.

“Your mother and I are very proud of you.” he ended, bidding him goodbye.

Obiajulum got settled in his new school and had no hard time making friends. It was this one girl who he didn’t want socializing with. Her name was Adanne—one of the smartest student in their form.

Obiajulum saw Adanne as a rival and despised her for always wanting to be in the lead. She wants the lead, hm? thought Obiajulum one day—I’ll show her who’s in charge, the young lad chuckled to himself, determined not to let anyone get in his way.

“Now’s our chance—” said the chief priest to the elders.
