WE BOTH DIED AT THE END
CHAPTER 14 (MORE TROUBLE)
“Hello Good day Sir, I have a matter on my table and relating it to you as the VC of the school is the right thing to do (he was quiet for a bit) yes Sir, it concerns one of our students and Sir, it is a very serious matter (he kept quiet again and was listening to the VC at the other end of the call) thank you very much Sir”
He dropped the phone and then I knew I was finished. I fell on the floor and began to cry my eyes out. Kate tried to hold me but I wasn’t ready to be pampered. I knew deep within me that I’d seriously fucked up. I kept looking at Suzan but she just turned away her face.
“These matter cannot end this way and with that in mind we have a meeting with the VC tomorrow morning. You, Suzan and Kate must be in that meeting”
“Sir, I swear to God, I didn’t do it. It was Suzan and not me please believe me Sir”
“We are done! You all can go now”
I kept pleading and pleading but he doesn’t want to hear anymore. Kate held me and carried me out of the office and down we went to her room where she actually stays alone.
I sat on her bed and I could feel the world crumbling upon my little innocent soul. It was heavy on me. Guys, it was really heavy on me. I cried a lot. I rolled on the floor. I could feel the urge to hit my head on the wall, to break things, to scatter things but Kate kept holding me down and she kept telling to calm down and that there’s always a way to come out of troubles.
With all of her talks, I knew I was doomed. All evidences were going against me. Maybe it would have been better if we didn’t mentioned the part of human bodies in the story just like the first two guys avoided saying it.
Maybe the VC wouldn’t have heard about it. Was that a mistake?
“God, I’m finished!” I said while crying
“No, you are not finished. God will take care of this”
“Kate, It is over! I’m finished”
“Stop saying such things. You just need to calm down. Everything will be alright”

“Thank you very much baba. You’ve saved my life” Suzan said as she knelt down to thank the baba at his house after leaving the lecturers office.
“Get up my daughter. You’ve been one of the most faithful worker I’d ever worked with. So, it is only normal that I protect you in whatever way I can. So get up my daughter”
Suzan got up and sat on the couch.
“You care for anything?” The old man asked
“Nothing Sir, I’m just worried”
“Worried? About what?”
Suzan adjusted her sitting position.
“What if they later find out the truth?” She asked but the old man began to laugh so loud that it scared Suzan
“Nobody will find out any truth because there’s no truth to even search for”
“I just thought there should be something we can do to shift away any future problem from ourselves”
“You are right my daughter, you are right and I’ve got a plan already”
“Really?”
“Yes my daughter! Don’t worry, I will sort out everything but for now, go in there and get something for us to eat”
Suzan happily got up and went to the kitchen.

“What I want you to do now is to wipe those wetty eyes, get up and let’s go pack your bags things from Suzan’s place and bring them down to my place”
I lifted up my head and looked at Kate in awe of her kindness. I dried my eyes and then we went to Suzan’s hostel. The students there were just busy side-talking and it was easy to know that it was all about me.
They were just looking at me as if I was a witch but then Kate held me hand and then she helped me to pack all my things.
“Do you think I should carry the clothes she bought for me?” I asked Kate
“No, just forget those clothes here. Let’s go with your original clothes” Kate responded and then we packed and left to her place.
Suzan came back home that night and wasn’t so surprised to find out that Precious had packed all her things but what surprised her was the fact that she left all the things that was purchased with her money in the room.
Suzan sat on the bed and held one of the clothes that she bought for Precious. She turned the dress to where Precious’ name was customized and then after looking at it for a time, a thought came to her mind.
A thought that could end Precious forever. Something that could finally cement the fact that it was Precious that was engaging herself in dirty deals and not Suzan.
