Life as a corper
Episode 111
“what exactly does she mean by ‘unless i play ball’?” i asked Frank after narrating what earlier went down between sweet periwinkle and i, as we walked to the market to buy a bottle of kerosine.
“i don’t know, i guess there is only one way to find out which is to ask her” he replied, scratching his head,
“alright tonight i will ask what she meant” i murmured and yawned.
10:30pm
Frank and his girl laid on my big mattress, while sweet periwinkle and i laid on the smaller new mattress we bought earlier in the day. She really had no problem sleeping beside me which truly was a welcomed development, but she extremely amazed us by putting on a very se.xy night wear which almost revealed all her backside. Frank’s eyes gulged with disbelief.
Her outfit really was an encouraging sign which brought out my desire as it woke my hormones. As soon as frank began having a noiseless relation with his girl, i calmly placed my hand on sweet periwinkle’s bare back.
She instantly turned and pushed off my hand, i placed it again, she shoved it aside, i placed again and again, she shoved it again and again.
All my efforts were greeted with stiff resistance yet i kept trying till she got up and left the room.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes for her to return, thinking she went out to ease herself. I got up from my bed and went in search of her. I saw her sitting on a pavement in front of my room playing with her phone. I calmly sat beside her, staring at her searchingly.
“why are you sitting here by this hour?” i asked with a calm smile. She simply hissed and said nothing.
“alright because i was disturbing you right¿ I promise not to look your way again, please let’s go inside, i’m very sorry” i apologized and begged.
“and how do i believe you?” she asked,
“i don’t know, but you have to” i murmured and stood up. She quietly stood up, faced me but refused to enter my room.
“why do you guys enjoy cheating on your girlfriends?, don’t try to deny it because i know you got one” she asked calmly, throwing me into confusion. I swallowed hard.
“you see, your guilt won’t allow you to talk, you can only have a piece of me at a price which you must pay before anything happens. So don’t ever touch me again unless you want me to embarrass you” she said before re-entering my room, leaving me totally stunned and flabergasted.
I calmly returned to my room, laid beside her and thought over all she said to me. I really saw no reason in making further advances on her nor did i see any reason in negotiating for s-x. Perhaps because i felt insulted, or maybe because i lost my morale or was it guilt?.
“what’s the need in having s-x with her? Is s-x food? I asked myself, shrugged, backed her and focused on my thoughts, which kept me awake till i eventually managed to sleep.
7am Thursday
I opened my eyes lazily, yawned and sat up, wondering whether to attend the weekly C.D.S or not. Seriously the careless way i handled important things which almost earned me an extra year in school {university} was still terribly affecting and eating me up like a terminal disease. I stared at Frank who lazily returned my look with a contented smile.
MINUTES LATER
“so how far? Were you able to poke her?” he asked curiously as we brushed our teeth in front of a mango tree. I rinsed my mouth and shook my head.
“nna eeh the girl na spoilt periwinkle she be o” i exclaimed before recounting how my night went with her. He eagerly listened to my story and stared at me with surprise when i was done, Shrugging and shaking his head with disbelief.
“so she charges for s-x?” he murmured with a drawn face,
“that’s what it seems my guy, the girl really tore me apart with her words last night” i confessed. He spat and breathed deeply.
“A girl that charges for s-x is called an ashewo right?” he asked,
“of course yes” i replied, staring at him inquisitively,
“and she’s my girl’s best friend” he murmured while i shrugged silently,
“could they be into this together?” he asked. I rolled my eyes and shook my head,
“i don’t think so” i replied,
“how do you know? Havn’t you heard that it’s only birds of the same feather that flock together?” he asked,
“not in 21st century my guy, moreover she might have said those words just to discourage me. We have nothing against her” i defended without knowing the reason. He rinsed his mouth, shook his head and placed a finger on his mouth, looking lost and agitated.
“there is only one way to find out” he murmured and stared at me,
“and how is that?” i asked,
“play along with her, negotiate and do whatever she demands” he explained with bright eyes. I stared at him suspiciously,
“and what will you gain from it? It won’t still confirm whether your girl is doing the same or not” i tried to object,
“just go ahead with it and leave the rest for me to decide” he insisted. I shrugged with a shoulder, forcing out a smile.
“alright since you insist, but i hate doing it” i accepted. He laughed and slapped my left shoulder.
“pretender” he murmured with bright eyes as we returned to my room. I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in his dirty mind.
But whatever it was, i knew he was still very much in love with Joy.
Episode 112
4pm, Jenny’s room
“why are you always very intense towards me lately?” i asked Jenny as i stared at her backside. She was all alone in her room, lying on her bed, facing the wall and backing me.
“because you don’t deserve my respect” she replied calmly. I breathed deeply, wondering what next to say to her.
I really needed her friendship because i stood to gain alot out of it, even though i hated the way she behaved sometimes.
She really found it very hard to tell me the exact words the school principal said about me the previous day, which exactly was the main reason i was in her room that fateful evening, but the cold treatment she was dishing out to me wasn’t in any way encouraging. I quietly laid beside her, drew close and held her from behind as if we were having a relationship.
“what are you doing?” she barked, sending an elbow into my ribs. I groaned and backed away from her.
“you are very annoying seriously” i murmured and sat up.
“what should i do before you realise that i value your friendship a great deal? Or are you still annoyed because i refused to read the bible with you eeh?” i asked unhappily. She turned and stared at me.
“i hate irresponsible guys, so please get out from my room and close the door you left open” she replied coldly.
“okay i will, but first tell me what the old man said abeg” i pleaded. She scoffed and smiled,
“c’mon what’s up with your voice do you want to cry?” she asked as she got out of her bed. With both hands on her waist, she stood and stared at me curiously. I roughly grabbed her with the intention of carrying her on my laps, but she collided on me, the force of collision sending us down on the bed.
“jeez you are so rough” she complained as she struggled to entangle herself from me.
“i’m very sorry dear. You know you are my eyes, ears and nose in that school, i can’t survive without you. Please help a brother” i begged.
“okay i don hear.” she murmured and broke free from me, straightened her dress and stared at me.
“i heard the principal likes money a lot. So i advise you compromise him by greasing his palms, perhaps he might end up stopping you from handling any subject. I think it’s the only option you have left, because he’s very pissed at you” she explained calmly, while i smiled and hugged her with bright eyes.
“what will i do without you. I havn’t even thought of that. Jenny believe me you are God sent” i murmured happily as i broke the hug.
“we can go clubbing at Owerri tonight, catch a little fun and drive round the town. I know you have been dying to see how the city looks at night” i offered happily. Her eyes shone brightly for a while before dying down slowly.
“no thanks don’t bother, you have visitors don’t you?” she declined and asked.
“yea” i answered with a shrug, before looking downwards.
“i really can’t define how i feel towards you. I know it isn’t love, nor is it lust, neither is it compassion, but i think it’s something way stronger than the three combined” i confessed, stood up and backed her.
“i like you equally, though i’m ashamed to admit it because you are a womanizer” she confessed, surprising me and stopping my heart from beating.
The earth spinned around us as if we were having the same dream.
Luckily or unluckily, her roomate came in that instant preventing what i really can’t describe from happening.
“let’s go to my room” i pleaded to Jenny. She shook her head, threw a glance at her roomate before reaching for a novel.
“i’ll come later” she murmured with a smile. I shrugged before returning to my room. Frank was anxiously waiting for me with a very horribly look of disappointment.
“instead of carrying on with our plan, you left it to grow beards abi” he asked as we bought suya moments later.
“abeg free me jor” i replied with a frown. He stared at me all over, shook his head and scoffed.
6:45pm
I silently stared at sweet periwinkle as we ate suya in my room. She refused to look my way nor return my gaze, even though i knew she noticed i was staring at her.
“can we talk outside please?” i heard myself say when she finally managed to look my way.
“can’t we talk here?” she asked a bit coldly,
“no” i answered. She breathed deeply, stood up and stared down at me. I smiled, got up and led her outside.
“i’m all ears” she said with a graceful tone as soon as we were alone.
“i’m ready to play ball, just tell me whatever you need, i will do it eagerly” i went straight to the point without mincing words. She stared at me, swallowed hard and scoffed.
“each time i look at you i feel very bitter. You have everything you need to the extent of messing around as if life is a water bed while others are out there suffering just to get a loaf of bread. Anyway i have many problems already, so tell me which you can do. My clothes are getting old, my hair needs fixing, i need money to pay off my depts??” she poured out while i stared at her nervously. I really felt uncomfortable and unwilling to continue with the discussion after hearing all she said. But all i did was just shrug and stare at her silently.
“why are you staring at me in such manner, have you changed your mind?” she asked with a smile.
“no yes, the truth is that i wasn’t expecting such outburst from you. Infact i’m very confused” i murmured truthfully.
“you shouldn’t be, God has a reason for not creating everyone to be equal. So it’s your luck, my hair is 3k, and my depts are equally within the same range, so if you can raise 3k for me, when can get down tonight” she concluded with a dirty smile before returning to the room.
7:50pm
“guy three thousand naira is too much for one night s-x na” Frank murmured after i narrated my discussion with sweet periwinkle to him as we switched on my generator.
“but i seriously think she wouldn’t have agreed if not for poverty” i replied.
“that’s exactly my fear. Joy is equally from a very poor home which you know and i’m scared to think she could also do the same because of her condition, moreover they live and work together” he lamented while i shrugged.
“okay just finish up the deal” he added. I searched his face suspiciously.
“what exactly are you planning?” i asked,
“don’t worry in due time, you will know” he replied.
“so how about giving me the money she demanded, you know i’m doing it for you” i asked. He simply sighed and returned to my room without another word.
11pm
I drew close to sweet periwinkle, held her waist, placed my nose on her neck, feeling her sweet body. She kept quiet and breathed quickly as she felt my touch. I was very aroused and excited, but my conscience wouldn’t let me go ahead with it.
“i can’t do it” i whispered to her.

Episode 113
10:30pm
“so how far¿ Are you giving me the money or not?” I asked Frank when i met him outside, where he was smoking a stick of cigarette.
“you can forget about the plan, it’s very obvious sweet periwinkle fu.cks for money. It pains me to think my girl could equally be into this with her” he murmured, blowing out smoke from his mouth.
“don’t talk like that, you have nothing against your girl apart from mere speculation. Living with a bad friend dosen’t automatically make someone bad, unless the person decides to be bad” i explained to him.
“what pains me the most, is that i can’t ask Joy to leave Portharcourt and return home. Not now that i’m still financially unstable, how do i support her? You know her parents are useless” he poured out unhappily.
“Portharcourt is really good on her body, don’t you see how she’s shinning?” i added with a smile. He breathed deeply and shrugged.
“i’m very scared because Joy is easily influenced, i just don’t know” he complained,
“whatever will be will be, just give her the benefit of doubt, but wait wasn’t she supposed to live with a relative or woman when you guys arranged the Portharcourt trip months ago?” i asked curiously.
“it’s really a long story bro, but she finally ended up at sweet periwinkle’s room. It really wasn’t the best choice but i couldn’t afford her returning to the village or coming to stay with me at Okitipupa, you know how it was before i finally left for Nysc” he explained, while i nodded.
“surely i do understand bro” i smiled. He said no other word till he finished the stick of cigarette minutes later. It was very obvious he had no mapped out plan.
10:50pm
I looked into my room from the entrance door, signalled to sweet periwinkle to come outside. She calmly obeyed, abandoning the local movie she was watching.
“i will give you 3k tomorrow” i calmly said to her,
“i need the money before anything happens between us, i don’t trust you guys” she murmured,
“c’mon i’m very serious, i swear i will give it to you tomorrow unless you want to annoy me by behaving as if i’m not trustworthy” i insisted.
“whatever! I don hear” she rolled her eyes and turned to return to my room. I grabbed her left hand stopping her.
“do we have a deal or not?” i asked curiously,
“you have one, but please do know that i agreed to do this because of my condition, i’m a respectable girl” she warned seriously.
“sure i do understand” i replied.
11pm
I drew close to her {when we retired for the night}, held her waist, placed my nose on her neck, feeling her sweet body. She kept quiet and breathed quickly as she felt my touch. I was very aroused and excited, but my conscience wouldn’t let me go further. It just looked to me as if i was taking advantage of a girl my little sister’s age.
“i can’t do it” i whispered to her.
“why? is anything wrong with me? Am i smelling or what?” she asked anxiously.
“no dear, you are alright, i don’t just want to do it anymore” i calmly replied, before looking towards Frank and his girl because i feared they were listening,
“so how about the money? I really do need it” she asked with a broken voice like someone close to tears.
don’t worry, i will still give it to you tomorrow” i promised,
“serious? Thanks alot” she murmured happily.

FRIDAY
Waking up the next morning, my heart leapt as i remembered i had to travel to Abuja later in the evening because of Adaora. I really was very much at lost on how to go about it, moreover i had visitors.
Unable to reach any concrete decision, i pushed my thoughts to the back of my mind and prepared for school with the intentiön of carrying out Jenny’s advice, “which was having a little talk with the school principal”.
7:30AM, Jenny’s room
I knocked, entered her room, and smiled her. She was already fully dressed up and prepared for school.
“seems i came right on time” i said with a smile. She laughed, grabbed her handbag and stood up.
“please you will first go with me to the bank, so i can get money for that stuff please” i begged. She rolled her eyes and tried to hesitate, i quickly held her left hand.
“please it won’t take much of your time” i pleaded. She stared into my eyes, shrugged and accepted.
10AM, Principal’s office
“sir i came to apologize for my rudy behaviour since i came into your school, seriously teaching isn’t my thing and i equally wasn’t a good student during my university days. I’m ashamed to admit it but i have no choice. Please do ignore, forgive and forget. It’s just a matter of months before i leave your school for good. Sir this envelope is my show of appreciation for tolerating me. I know it isn’t enough but please manage it and help me” i begged with a fast pounding heart as i gave him the envelope with shaking hands. I really was immensely scared because anything could happen that moment.
He refused to take the envelope, but instead stared at me suspiciously,
“what’s in it?” he asked,
“just ten thousand Naira sir” i replied with quivering lips. He breathed deeply.
“what do you say it is for?” he asked curiously, his eyes searching me keenly,
“it’s just a gift of appreciation for accepting me in your school” i murmured.
“oh i see” he nodded seriously.
“Mr Val i really can’t risk you teaching my students anymore. You can hand over all the teaching materials you got from us to the Dean of studies. From now henceforth you will be my assistant, working directly for me. You can now go and prepare yourself for the task ahead” he said with a serious look which was wrapped up with a smile. I quickly stood up and thanked him.
“drop your gift on the table” he ordered. I quickly obeyed, while carefully covered the envelope with a newspaper without touching it.
_____
Staff room
Jenny was the only person in the staff room when i got there minutes later. She looked up anxiously as soon as she noticed my presence.
“i think he bought my idea. I’m now free as a bird, thank you Jenny” i poured out happily. She instantly stood up and hugged me with joy.
“i’m glad you are happy” she murmured sweetly.
“At last i’m now free to do as i wish” i murmured. But my scheduled trip to Abuja quickly ran into my mind once again, putting the fear of God into me.

EPISODE 114
“is something wrong? You suddenly tensed up” Jenny asked, staring at me curiously,
“no i’m alright, i just remembered i will be travelling to Abuja this evening” i replied.
“okay” she shrugged and sat down. I gave her a sweet smile before leaving the staff room, heading to my lodge.
12noon
“yea don’t worry about us, go ahead and travel. Joy and her friend will be leaving on sunday. I will stay and wait till you return” Frank assured me when i reminded him of my plans. Seeing he had no problem with me travelling, i quickly prepared for Abuja without wasting time.
_____
“i really don’t know when we will meet again, but i truly enjoyed your company. Do take care of youself and be a good girl” i advised sweet periwinkle when i was about leaving. She nodded and smiled.
“i will miss you too” she confessed, as i discreetly gave her the three thousand Naira i promised her.
“i also don’t like how extreme you go because of money please stop it” i added calmly. Her eyes dropped, she looked down with shame.
“you are so kind, very different from Frank” she murmured as we hugged,
“hmmmm Joy go hear you oo” i joked.
I finally got to owerri later in the evening, before heading to Abuja after spending considerable amount of time at the bus station. My thoughts kept me company as the bus left Owerri, crossed Onitsha, moved into south south before leaving the southern region.
My heart furiously pounded because i really didn’t know what awaited me over there nor the level of damage Elinor had done.
When my anxiety became unbearable i called Frank, Jenny, Tessy and even Adaora on phone but none answered {because it was in the middle of the night} Perhaps they were all asleep.
I finally remembered Selena, and dialled her phone number, luckily she answered with her usual lively tone, keeping me company with her voice till i got to Abuja early saturday morning.
6am Adaora’s house
I walked into the compound, stopped at the entrance door and rang the door bell nervously. I Anxiously waited with fear.
I did ring the door bell thrice before Adaora finally opened the door, stared at me with a blank expression and said nothing.
I stared back at her, my family wife and future, without knowing what to say….
Conscience is a very strong feeling capable of snitching on you anytime, anywhere.
“is something wrong? You suddenly tensed up” Jenny asked, staring at me curiously,
“no i’m alright, i just remembered i will be travelling to Abuja this evening” i replied.
“okay” she shrugged and sat down. I gave her a sweet smile before leaving the staff room, heading to my lodge.

Episode 115
She finally breathed deeply, smiled and hugged me,
“welcome baby” she greeted. I heaved a sigh of relief as we held each other tightly.
“you don’t look bad” she smiled as we walked to my room,
“you don’t either, I missed you” i confessed.
___
Her calm behaviour really heightened my suspence a great deal. My heart kept skipping, because i really didn’t know what was in her mind nor the surprise she planned. No matter how much she smiled, i still knew something terrible was boiling inside her.
“so what’s up, you really sounded very bad the day you invited me” i nervously asked as we sat for breakfast an hour later.
“did i?? Hmmm don’t mind me jare” she replied with a smile, without giving any definite answer.
I equally hid my fears with a calm smile, silently we ate breakfast, fully aware she was trying out something new, but as a crimminal who knew his game was up, i came fully prepared.
“i was given quite a scare this month” she said minutes later with a smile, her eyes searching me intently. I stared at her anxiously.
“my period showed up very late, for a moment i thought i was pregnant, can you imagine?” she added and laughed, while i swallowed hard, rolling my eyes,
“oh please” i breathed.
2pm
She rested on me as we silently watched an action movie. Even though my eyes were on the t.v. screen, i really wasn’t paying much attention to the movie, because her silence was truly killing me, while my guilt shook my nerves.
2:15pm
She took my phone, unlocked her’s, opened her phonebook {under my nose} and scrolled to a number which looked like Tessy’s phone number. She stopped and copied the number into my phone before sending it{dialling}. My heart froze.
Though i really couldn’t remember using the phone she was with to call Tessy, i was still very scared because as humans we arn’t above mistakes, and i doubted myself.
To my surprise, she allowed the call to go through even after discovering that the phone number wasn’t stored in my phone {I thought that was what she was checking, but i was very wrong}
The call soon connected with Tessy’s phone, beeping in mine, as it alerted us, i felt like fainting, i felt like snatching my phone from her but couldn’t, because i had no reason to stop her from calling anyone with my phone.
Adaora did her mind and took the law in her hands without first confronting me, perhaps because she knew i was a good liar and could maneuver her with my lying skills.
Nervously i waited as i watched the unfolding drama. She quickly switched the phone to “speak out mode” {handsfree} as soon as Tessy answered her call.
“hullo” i heard Tessy’s calm voice as she greeted, while Adaora smiled at me.
“d–n you Elinor” i cursed unhappily,
Once again, i broke the player’s code by allowing myself to be caught. But was i expecting to fool Adaora forever?
I know you all will be saying
“good for me, Adaora got wiser”…
Lots of questions instantly crossed my mind as i silently watched the unfolding drama keenly.
“how did Elinor get to her?” “how much does she know?” “what exactly is she doing?” i wondered hopelessly.
“hullo! Hullo!” Tessy greeted twice before Adaora finally cleared her throat and responded.
“hi good afternoon, sorry to bother you. My name is Ada, Val’s younger sister” she greeted fluently.
“Val’s sister?” Tessy asked with a suspicious voice,
“yea i’m his immediate younger sister, he told me all about you, though i’m not in support of what you guys are doing, i have no choice than to keep quiet since you make him happy, but that isn’t the reason i called” she poured out effortlessly, while i gasped with surprise, my heart pounding loudly as if it wanted to explode.
“so what’s the reason?” Tessy asked suspiciously,
“you see, he told me he was coming over to your place yesterday, but till this moment i’m yet to hear from him which is very unusual and i’m scared. Please is he there with you?” she asked,
“no he isn’t here with me and i’m not expecting him this weekend either, because we were together last weekend, are you sure it was my place he mentioned to you?” Tessy asked with concern,
“of course i’m very sure” she replied,
“i guess i’ll have to ask around and call you back. Don’t be scared okay” Tessy murmured and hung up. Adaora then faced me with a dry smile, i swallowed hard.
“don’t you have anything to ask or say to me?” she asked seriously. I shrugged with a shoulder and shook my head.
“i think you are messing with someone’s head, what do you expect me to say or ask ‘kwanu?’” i replied unseriously. She bit her lips and stared at me murderously.
“c’mon why do you look so intense? I wasn’t listening to your call nau” i defended with a fake smile.
“alright since that’s how you want to play it, no problem. I’ll be going over to your sugar mummy’s house with your sister this evening. Shameless boy” she barked and sprang up. I quickly jerked forward, drawing her back to my body.
“how do i defend myself?”, “how do i lie?”, “how do i twist my words?” i wondered as she stared at me curiously. It was very obvious she was well informed and prepared.
_______
Elinor’s revenge was all about destroying my relationship with Adaora {and perhaps Tessy} using a single stone, and I knew she was equally making use of a giant catapult to accomplish it.
“there is no need disgracing me in front of my family, things are not as they seem, but i know your informant already did a good job, all i beg is for you not to tell my family the reason we broke up. I don’t deserve you and i have no explanation whatsoever” i murmured a bit arrogantly but unhappily..
“Val i will deal with you even if it turns me into a bitter old lady” Adaora swore, spat on me and ran into her room.
