Crimson reforging
As Agaba dad’s words faded, Agaba’s pupils constricted, and he began to hover toward the ancient stone. Ochekawo’s eyes widened in horror as he watched his son levitate, his voice trembling as he cried out, “Agaba, Agaba!”Agaba’s bewildered response hung in the air. “Dad, what’s going on?” Ochekawo’s reply was laced with desperation: “I… I don’t know!”The air was electric with anticipation as the rock cracked, unleashing a fiery blaze of purple light. Agaba’s body went limp, and he hovered above the Echur, now shattered and broken into eight fragments, the contact lenses meant to keep the unique octagramic eyes of the Achadu family fell off from his eyes, as his pulpils glow purple, and the octagram in his pulpils became very visible. The sound of snapping bones and the sight of tearing flesh sent a chill down Ochekawo’s spine, and he was consumed by regret for bringing Agaba to this place.As he gazed upon his son’s broken form, a vision seized Ochekawo, transporting him to a rea
Echoes of blood
“Agaba? You didn’t eat lunch. Are you okay?”, She asked. “Leave me alone, Ene, I’m not hungry”, his voice came flat, muffled through the wooden door. (Sigh) “Fine, be moody all you want. I’ll eat your food, I can’t let good meal go for waste”, she teased, masking her worry. When his mom learned about his actions she tried to coax him out of his room. “Agaba, open this door. Talk to me son, what’s wrong, your sister said you have been in your room since you returned from school” There was a brief moment of silence, though still ashamed of the outcome of the day, Agaba didn’t want to push his frustration to his mother. He sighed and replied:“I’m fine mum” “But you haven’t even eating lunch, are you sick?, tell me, what did the bullies in school do this time?”, she asked. “Nothing, they did nothing, I’m alright. I will come out when I’m ready”, Agaba replied. “Son talk to me, I never know you with this character, this is new, What happened in school?, you can speak to me, s
Moment after the game
Her steps was calm and elegant, and Agaba can’t stop picturing different scenarios in his head of how the proposal is going to sail through.“What if she rejects me?”“What if I’m not good for her?”“What is the worst she can say apart from NO?”“Arghh, I should just give up, she might have seen or heard of my past records with bullies”“Should I quit?”All these thoughts slowed him down.“All this are crap, Idibia is right! She will definitely have something for me”The alley was a bit crowded with students standing in cliques, while some moved in and out of the school complexes. The stair way that lead to the top of the building appeared some few meters away, while, Agaba walked fast towards her, grabbing her wrist, and attracting her attention as he gets down with his left Knee.Students who saw this, quickly brought out their smart-phones, camera light all went on around, like eyes of judgement watching over.“Nneka”, he began. “I have been…”“Don’t…” Her voice was a whip, a thorn
moment during the game
The sky above the school pitch was a vast ocean of fire-orange clouds, swirled with the promise of blood and glory. Cheers and screams sounded like war horns. Chants echoed across the field. And for the first twenty five minutes, the SSS-3 students ruled the pitch. And their king? Prime boy, once more. Muscles rippling, headband fluttering like a war banner, he bulldozed through SSS-2 midfield like a titan with no chains. His every touch set off a roar. His passes - surgical. His dribbles - deadly. He owned the field. And as for the new queen bee - Nneka… she watched from the sidelines, her eyes sparkling like moonlight on broken glass. Around her neck, the necklace Prime boy had given her glinted with arrogance. From the bench, the school punch bag, Agaba, clenched his fists tight to the frame.Sweat soaked through his jersey though he hadn’t played a minute every cheer for Prime boy burned his ears. He wasn’t just benched. He was forgotten, again, buried by the coach disregarding
High school life II
Back in class, Igbe the class clown howled, “here comes the lover boy Agaba, who wished to fight warriors for the hands of Nneka” Laughter rippled round class. Agaba walked straight to his seat as he is used to this things. Then Idibia stood from among his guys and walked towards him. “Agaba, when they told me of your heroic rescue, I never believed it”, he drawled, leaning on his desk, his boys watching them both. “What do you want?”, Agaba asked. “Why fight me, man? Can’t we both be friends”. he threw glances at his gang and his gaze fell back at Agaba. Agaba frowned. “I know, you’re up to something”. “I’m offering peace. We’ve fought for so long you know” Idibia said. Then the form-teacher walked in, and Idibia ended the conversation, “Think about it, man”. After the brief section with the form - teacher, the school bell rang, and as Agaba and Ahmed stormed off the class, they saw Nneka - hugging the same prime boy, she’d once rejected. Agaba’s heart sank.“she’s
High school life
The city's school itself was a modern structure with modern designs, mosaic tiles at the entrance, and windows reflecting the rays of the African sun. Students buzzed through corridors painted in flaking beige, and a yellowish school bell hung like a tired relic at the centre of the school’s compound. The building is made up of three floors: the first floor is for year one students, the second floor is for year two students while the third floor is for year three students, with a big hall located at the bottom (first) floor.Agaba’s reputation wasn’t great. He was a benchwarmer on the school football team, the default last-minute substitute for a defender no one liked. He’d been humiliated twice before - once when some bullies dumped him into a trash bin and the recordings of the incident leaked, another when a short clip of him circulated in the school’s WhatsApp page with the caption: Benchwarmer General. Still, he smiled.One afternoon, as they walked home with the smell of akara
