Munachi Odumba.

"Munachi wait wait wait... Wait, so you're trying to say... Chiamaka asin(like) ... Chiwhore, planned with Kenelum asin Kenebeast. To rape you? " Silvana whispered yelled to me. Yelling out the nicknames she gave both of them.

I nodded.

"And you two found out coincidentally, because you were following a moan that Arthur heard a mile away?" I nodded again and realized how stupid, unrealistic and impossible it sounded.

"How does someone hear a moan a mile away?? " The scientist in her was talking.

"Scientifically speaking, humans have one of the lowest natural hearing ability... In the whole mammalian table, like.. A bat can hear further than a human, a wolf can hear furtherer-"

"-Hah! Furtherer is that one even English? Silva? " Williams teased. And received a kick from her.

"Pay attention in class and you'd know. " Jasmine smirked.

"Ode(Fool) " I said with a smirk directed at him too.

He eyed me and hissed. "Because of this small package you're having now, you don't want to have sense. It's me you're calling ode? Me fool?? " I chuckled.

"Kill me. "

"So Arthur would massacre me, spread my limbs round this school and drop my head in the middle of a stranded road. No thanks sister! " Williams had me rolling my eyes.

"Furtherer isn't a real English word Williams, so thank you for the reminder... But Arthur's ear is sharp oh. Heard a moan, a mile away... Wawu. " Silvana said.

I nodded.

"I swear, we'll put this down in our 'Did you know?' in our own yearbook. Imagine it, 'Did you know, Arthur Dike can hear sounds a mile away' Our own will now make sense more than the former sets. " Jasmine said.

We were nearing Williams hostel-Blue house hostel and that meant our short gist would soon end.

"Yeah. Know that first set when you guys were still in 7th grade... Like in their yearbook, the one Jasmine showed me, their own 'Did you know' made sense... You'll see something like 'Did you know, Amara can sing with her mouth closed'" Williams was interrupted.

"What made sense in that one? I can sing with my mouth close.. See. " Jasmine made an attempt to sing with her mouth closed, but only succeeded in humming.

"Babe. Shut up. Abeg. "Silvana smirked.

"I don't know about that set.. But 8th grade own made sense.. Darrel and Darren's set made sense die. 'Did you know that fat Praise can split perfectly?' like how's that possible, or 'Adamu's leg can scratch his chin.. Backwards'" I nodded at Jasmine in agreement.

She was right... Darrel and Darren's set's year book did make sense... Over made sense.

I think the twins set were the most popular and the most graphically corrupt, someone in their set in final year got arrested for doing coke. Arrested in Nigeria!

"Then in our own Hall of Fame... Chiamaka would enter 'Devilish snake'" Williams chuckled.

Silvana said, "I swear, she's conniving. Imagine, if Arthur hadn't seen you... That Kenelum would've dipped into your Honeywell. " I scowled at his name.

"I swear.. Disgusting and you know he's like 20... So it's bound to be very big. " I paused to look at Jasmine after she spoke.

Now why would she say that?

"Well is it? " Silvana asked...

What?

I coughed.

They'd both turned to gawk at Williams.

"What?! Why're you two looking at me? " Williams moved back wards.

"You're in the same hostel... Is Kenelum huge-"

"-Ew! Let's not talk about this! Jesus Christ!" I interrupted Silvana.

"Fine!... But tell me, Willy... Who's the biggest in our set?.. Among blue house boys.. "Silvana wiggled her brows at Williams who moved backwards again.

"I don't know. I'm not in their dorm.. I've never been in their dorm remember, I've been dorm head since 9th grade for different junior dorms so.. I don't know that shit. "

"Why self? " Silvana frowned

"I came 9th grade remember? And I resumed late, by then their dorm was full... There was space for an extra bunk or four self but, no one was willing to share a locker with me. Funny enough, I later found out there was one more left but the guys all stored different things in there, like a room storage. I guess it was just too late for me to join their blue house boys gang and they did everything they could to not let me in.

Blue house dorm has always been a competitive dorm, some parent even paid bribes back then to put their kids in there. It was one of the best hostels with the biggest space and hot water 24/7 and there's even a rumored provision mall that Jide only allows select seniors inside to shop and buy things when their provision was low but he charged heavily, also customized towels and fancy soaps so the boys blue house has always been a premium hostel unlike other dorms back then, very limited lockers and bunks because not everyone got put in blue house.

Years ago, our principal was experimenting with blue house and I guess it was a success because now every hostel has these privileges but it's what cemented blue house boys as automatically popular because everyone knew they were automatically richer and in this school of the rich, the richer is better.

Anyways, back to what I was saying. So I just got placed in 8th graders dorm... As the dorm head. " Williams smiled cheekily after getting the heavy load off his chest.

He was right, in Emerald Academy: The richer is better.

It was an actual saying, I'd heard Chiamaka say it a couple times.

Her parents were some really wealthy Bishops or something because Chiamaka's popularity also had an effect on teachers and HOD's, adults revered her and students feared her.

Silvana moved back, following his movements and touched his back.

It was sneaky but her hand was crawling upwards.

"I know all that stupid. I have been in this school longer than you have mister man! " She smacked the back of his head.

"Why don't you know how they look like.. Aren't you supposed to share the same bath-"

"-No na. Different dorms, different different floors, different toilets. " Jasmine jumped in..

We turned to look at her.

How'd you know that? You're not a boy?

"My brother said it one time like that! When he was asking for help... To like know how our building works cause he was like about to join the fence flyers or something.."

I mused. "I'm surprised they never caught any of them... "

"I swear, as in... Even Kenelum, Dominique them and co.. Joined them one period of time but they never caught them. "

Silvana was right... They never caught any of the fence flyers.

Until they left the school.

"Can you imagine, 9th graders then wanted to start again after your brother's set left.. They caught them once. " Silvana broke into laughter before continuing.

"Meaning it's strategy Darrel them were using.. Unlike those mumu's ahead of us... Suspended the five boys they caught sharp sharp. "

"I don't think after they caught them any boy has ever flew fence. " Williams said with a chuckle.

"But girls now started... When we were in Js3, 9th grade.. The new SS3 girls started going to boys hostel.. For ordinary lashing(Fucking)... No shame." Jasmine's voice had a tint of rage in it.

"I swear. No shame. Bia(come) Munachi, be careful biko(Please) You don't know what Chiamaka's capable of.. And that stupid Kenelum, never be found alone with him. " Silvana's sensible side was back..

This part of her was so rare to see... Ironically, back then it was all I'd seen.

Nonso had really changed my girl.

"Why should she fear him? One kick where the sun never shines would reset his memory. " Jasmine almost shouted. I rolled my eyes.

"Girlfriend, are you going to report them? " Williams asked me.

I shook my head and he sighed... His hostel was directly in front of us now.

"Who would she even report to? The principal? It won't be her concern since it happened out of school... The police? There's no prove? And we're just a bunch of teenagers... Who would take our words for it? And this is Nigeria... They'll probably blame you-"

"-Silvana, you're right. They'll be like 'Who sent you to go to party? Your mates are reading and you're partying.. It's your fault they attempted to rape you, you're even lucky they didn't even rape you' Some self would be like.. 'Good for you. Next time go and be drinking alcohol and be opening legs anyhow'..." Jasmine sighed deeply.

"This is Nigeria. " Williams said slowly rhythmically.

We stopped walking.

"Bye guys, see you at dinner. " Williams waved and walked into his hostel.

"... Muna... Nana.. Nananana.. Tell us proper gist now. " Silvana smirked at me as we walked past a lot of boys coming from the school... Through the short cut way.

"Hey babe. " A tall guy in yellow house wear waved at Jasmine.

She waved back and he walked towards us...

I didn't know him, but he looked like a senior.

"Hostel." I replied Silvana as we walked faster to give Jasmine and the senior some privacy.

I was watching them from the corner of my eyes while students hastily rushed past us.

Mainly boys.. Like we were the only girls here right now, since girls hostels were down and we were up... And they were coming from down the hill.

Arthur was definitely bound to show up anytime soon, we usually met at this time of the day... Him coming from the school through the "senior" shortcut with his friends..

And me coming from his hostel side...

Jasmine stopped talking to the boy who wasn't hovering over her, she was the one hovering over him instead—she really was tall.

He smirked and brought out a piece of paper from his pocket...

He handed her a pen and a hardcover book to write on-

"-Hey mamacita." A deep voice brought me back to reality.

Arthur.

I smiled at him and noticed Silvana holding hands with Nonso while Segun stood awkwardly behind them.

"Rush hour's kinda fun, isn't it? " Arthur smirked.

I raised a brow.

"Rush hour? "

"Yeah. That moment when we're all coming back from some strenuous studying and we intercept with some cute girls... Like your self.. It's fucking fun. " I rolled my eyes.

"If it's like that.. Rush hour is already over because I don't mingle in that interception. " It was his turn to roll his eyes.

"Mamacita, lose up a bit. "

"Mamacita?? Since when did that one start? " He rolled his eyes again.

So unmasculine!

"Nana is still there. I just picked up this wor-" Unbelievable...

He acted like we didn't have a crazy discovery today.

So chill, so composed, so... annoying.

"-Kenelum... Did he suspect anything? " I rudely interrupted him and a part of me delighted when his face took up a serious mode.

"No. "

I nodded at him and Kenelum walked past us... His shoulder slammed against my arm in the pretense that he was trying to walk in through the narrow space that existed between my body and someone else's.

You could've just walked round me!

I turned to glare at him and he winked.

Baaaarf

I rolled my eyes and turned to look at Arthur.

"You're doing a good job at hiding your hate. " He smirked sarcastically at me... I hissed

"If I hide it.. I become too suspicious, I've never liked him.. So it's better I remain like this. " His eyes dropped to my lips and I stopped talking.

"Well keep it up. Never be alone with him... I'll handle Chiamaka. " He took my hand and squeezed it then walked away.

Jasmine appeared and Silvana followed suit.

We both waved at Nonso as he walked past us.

"So what did you two discuss? " Jasmine broke the silence once we entered our dorm.

Silvana and I turned to look at her and she nudged her head in my direction.

"Stay away from Kenelum. He'll handle Chiamaka. " I muttered quietly, we weren't alone.

Belema was walking towards us.

"Nachi.. Munachi Nachi... See eh, I heard oh. " Belema yanked my left hand and Silvana moved with me.

"Heard what? " Jasmine asked.

I nodded.

Heard what?

"Shuuu! Did I talk to any of you? Is your name Munachi? You people would be doing body guard when no one sent you" Belema hissed and Silvana rolled her eyes.

"We're not body gu-"

"-Abegiie, shut up! Holier than thou.. Virgin!" Patricia shouted at Silvana.

Patricia and Belema were now 'Besties', worst thing I think could've happened... After that 'gist' in our dorm where Belema exposed Patricia and Belema sorta apologized after her sister and her friend got involved

They've been like 5 and 6.. Patricia always followed Belema around.. And Belema was never found without Patricia... Patricia's good reputation went down the drain and now they were just too similar behaviorally.

Patricia now had formed this mini hatred towards Silvana and Jasmine... And I had an idea that it had to do with the apology we didn't hear Belema say.

I guess she hated me totally, but I just didn't care about her... If there was one thing I'd learnt from Rooney was not to give an F about what people thought about me.. Good or bad.

"What's this thing talking? See eh... Patricia abi Patty, idiotic fatty, fatricia... See be careful and stop talking out of point okay? I know you don't like me, but please try and reduce your stupidity level around me. " Jasmine snarled..

It's been long since our savage queen of our small clique had casted(insulted) someone... She'd been calm and quiet since 10th grade, almost as if she and Silvana had exchanged souls because Silvana became the snappy one.

I like this part of her! And I miss it.

"Action mama.. "Silvana smirked and dragged me by my hand and Jasmine by another hand all the way to our locker side.

Patricia started yelling behind us, "Jasmine abi Flowe-"

Jasmine quickly interrupted her. "-Babe dry! Just like your lame ass body.. Dry. I've been keeping quiet too much I see! Because of what? What did we ever do to both of you, you especially that you won't use eyes to see us without your body peppering you? See eh, better thread carefully around me Patricia because, if you annoy me again after today I will slap your head off your stupid fat body. "

Damn! Jasmine was about to murder this girl.

Belema hissed and it echoed off the walls.. Our other roommates walked in and paused at the door due to the thick tension.

"Silvana are you stupid or what? Why'd you drag her away from here? I was talking to her. " Belema asked with a cocky tone.

"And so? "Silvana replied and placed her right hand on her waist.

"I'm not stupid by the way... You are, with all your F-9's I wonder why they still promote you. " Silvana blasted...

... Ouch.

"Her daddy na... Nnwa Senator. " Jasmine snickered

"Patricia see what I told you last year. They're the ones who forced me to talk... Have you seen with your eyes how they're insulting us?... Body shaming you and academically insulting me, imagine what they both said when you weren't there... I was just defending you when they were lyi-"

"-Shut up. " The dorm went silent...

I understood why... Because I'd just spoke... And I've never intervened or involved my self in any arguments.

"Excuse me? " Belema eyed me...

Snake!

You can't scare me down with those devilish eyes.

"You're a liar. You were the one blabbing nonstop last year. I don't know if you're suddenly suffering from memory loss or you're just a chronic liar that you don't know when you're lying. " I blinked blankly at her.. Giving away no emotion.

Patricia stopped and turned.

"Belema, that's not what you said last year oh. You said Jasmine was calling me all sorts of names like whore and bitch while Silvana was insulting my sister... And Munachi was just laughing.... And you were defending me, that's why I decided to forgive you for even bringing up that music lab slash toilet side story up. "

I rolled my eyes.

"Do you believe her?! Patricia would I ever lie to you?... Didn't you even hear the Jasmine calling you fat? And you're choosing to believe her? " Belema argued.

Jasmine's head hung low.

"I'm sorry about body shaming you.. You're not fat, you're thick... And you have a slim face so it fits you. " Jasmine muttered and dwindled with her fingers.

The girls at the door burst into laughter.

"The great Jasmine! Younger sister of one of the finest boys to attend our school. Sharpest disser.. Just apologized?! "... Faith exclaimed and their laughter doubled.

No one was really close to any of the two girls standing out the door.. Faith was in art.. And Divine was in science.

They were those girls that always stood at the background... We were opposites, I'd rather not get any attention on me.. But they craved it and looked for ways to be noticed...

They both dated.. But never those... 'popular boys' just.. Normal classmates.

"Who's now lying to me? " Patty asked and placed her hands akimbo.

"Them!" Belema yelled.

"Her. She's lying to you. " I answered Patricia.

I can't believe she was even considering Belema's words to be true... I always suspected Patricia to have low self-esteem... Didn't think she was easily influenced by peer pressure.

I mean that explained why she suddenly became Belema's shadow.

"Would Munachi ever lie to you? "Divine smiled at me.

"I swear. Would former Numb get her self involved if its a lie... Since 7th grade have you ever heard or seen her do this? " Faith asked and walked to her bunk.

"No." Patty replied.

I looked out our window.

And breathed in.
Then out.

"Bloody liar! " A slap echoed round our room.

Patricia slapped Belema.

"My sister warned me about you! " Another slap.

"All the times I was busy following you. " Two slaps followed.

Belema..

"Thinking you were doing it for my good.. You were helping me because only you liked me. " A shove and Belema fell.

We knew why Belema wasn't fighting back... Patricia was way bigger than her.

"I'm sure you were even laughing at me behind my back... All those seniors you said I should go and meet! Seniors that touched me! You said Arthur would get jealous if he hears about what I did.. I did them because I believed you! " Patricia kicked Belema's leg and a scream followed.

Okay, time to stop this.

I raised my eyebrow at Jasmine, she was the oldest one out of us three and had a mature aura around her.

She raised her two thick brows at me and shook her head.

"No. Let Belema suffer small. " Silvana whispered.

I rolled my eyes.

Today was a day for trying out new things.

I don't know why.. But after hearing Chiamaka's words earlier on.. I'd felt different.

I felt... Un respected, like if I'd at least spoke up for my self.. If I'd ever defended my self, said things when it needed to be said.. I wouldn't had been undermined.

If I wasn't so quiet to certain things.. Did things I should've done... Instead of cowering away and avoiding trouble...

Maybe they'll be no plan to rape former Numb... The girl who'd just kept quiet about it.

Maybe that was the reason... Why I'd involved my self in their arguments... But I was super sure that was why I was about to pull Patricia off Belema.

I was done being that... Numb.

I was done being former numb... I was going to be Munachi Odumba... And tap back into primary school old me.

I was never an introvert... I'd never liked saying things only when asked, I dominated and ruled my classroom even as second best.. I ranked higher than Rooney socially.

Emerald Academy had turned me into this meek shallow quiet girl that was once avoided... Mother had cut out my ego and my pride.. And my self respect.. And the school just buried it.

The school made me feel unimportant and disgusting and mother made me feel unworthy to be loved,worthless and useless...

But Rooney... Rooney... Made me feel the opposite...

Even with that...

I wasn't doing this for Rooney anymore... I wasn't going to smile when people talk to me...

I was going to smile and talk to people.

I was going to do this for me.
