FORBIDDEN LOVE 17

When senior Daniel saw the boy was so weak, he finally left him
and stretched his hands towards me. At this point, I became really
scared. I don’t know if I was scared that the boy senior Daniel
just beat was probably dead or because I had never seen senior
Daniel in that state. I hesitated because I knew he meant I should
hold his hands but he grabbed it anyway and we left the scene with
the boy still lying on the floor. As we were leaving, I looked back to
see if he was going to move and when I heard him cough, I became
a little calm. At least, he was still alive, so I thought.
That night things became even worse, there was so much noise in
the hostel. Boys and girls were all screaming and I couldn’t
understand why. I already left senior Daniel for my hostel so I was
in my room talking with Anabelle and telling her all that happened
that night. The noise became louder so we decided to go out and
find out the reason. When we got out, we realized almost everyone
was leaving the hostel for the hall so we joined them and not long
after, we heard someone ring the bell and shout; “All girls! Move to
the dining hall.” Then, we knew it was an announcement as It was
already past dinner time. I began to hope it wasn’t because of the
encounter I had with the senior boys and Daniel.
When we got to the dining hall and everyone was settled. The house
master spoke up by greeting us first and then going right into the
message. He said someone was in serious condition as he was beaten
up by one of the students. This time, I knew it was because of
what had happened. He mentioned that the student was unconscious
for a while but was now conscious and being taken care of in the
school’s clinic. He said so many things but didn’t mention the reason
behind it. He only advised every student to be aware that there
would be a serious consequence for a student who is involved in a
fight. He also said that if someone else does wrong, we don’t have
the right to beat them up but report instead. I knew senior Daniel
was in big trouble. After the message, all students were asked to
leave for their hostels except me who was told to wait behind.
After all the students were dismissed, they took me to the hostel
office where I saw senior Daniel and the boys that almost raped me
except the boy senior Daniel had beaten. We were spoken to for a
while and then asked to write a statement. We were told that the
principal had already heard about the incident and would take it up
tomorrow. I was so sad that everything had become so serious. I
wished all that happened never did. I was sad because someone had
been hurt and there was a possibility that senior Daniel would be
punished. After we were done with our statements, they told us to
leave for our hostels, I couldn’t even talk to senior Daniel.
When I got to the hostel, I told Anabelle why I was told to wait
behind and she just hugged me, hoping that everything would be
okay by the next day. We packed our luggage that night as we
were to close for the holiday the next day and when we were done,
went to bed. I really hoped that tomorrow wouldn’t be a rough day
due to the incident.
