"BOOM! The door to girls hostel went crashing open, and boys, as though they were male silverback gorrillas went tumbling into the girls hostel, looking to find that which they have always desired". Hey! Concentrate, we can't get there yet! I have to take you back, to the very beginning, before it all begun, before all the drama, before the race, before the joy and laughter, before the fun.
7PM! yeah, it was 7pm when I came back from the college, exhausted I headed straight for my room, layed on my bed and rested briefly. This was the beginning, this was when the rumor started. From nowhere, we heard that the generator would go off by 11pm and would come back on by 5.am. Lol..whats there right? If you are an Abuad student, let me take you rushing down the memory lane. Has there ever been a black out in ths school? I bet we have the same answer. Back to the story, I was naive, I mean..this is ABUAD, One thing that is sure in this school is light, yes, constant light, full shining bright light! ...or so we thought.
POOF! the lights went out.it was actually happening! I looked out of my window, and it was pitch black,No form of light could be seen around the vicinity! the only source of light were the useless ATM machines which looked haply that they were deserted at the moment, and some flashes of torchlight here and there. This was a historic moment in this school, and we did well to utilize it to the fullest, the activities that would later unfold as you read this story should explain better, why you would never forget what you are reading, oh..and please allow your friend read too, and lets walk this exciting journey together!
30 minutes later,degree by degree, heat began to creep in. and like rats running from cats, boys trooped out to the lawn, running away from the boiling rooms they were in because of the current predicament. Boys filled everywhere on the lawn, even the gutters, looking for any spare space to sit down and enjoy the cold night, and chat away and watch the stars till they fade out. And as you would notice, all was peaceful at that time just a couple of ol' boys relaxing and gisting, listening to music and whiling the night away! Tired already? Keep calm, the peak of this thrilling story of villians and heroes is yet to finish!
There was silence, the crickets chirped and everywhere was peaceful, until the boys, devised a means to turn this sad night into a night of celebration! boys rushed into their hostels to carry buckets and they rushed out and began to drum, they started to serenate the atmosphere with vintage beats, childhood beats, old beats that we heard when we were children, yes, you and I, those were the kind of beats the boys drummed to! And like birds that couldn't resist the taste of sweet grain, boys began to gather, and they began to sing, they serenated the atmosphere with good songs and irresistible highlife that made the night a night to remember! the boys danced and danced the night away, with the new-found activity, the hope for light began to fade, slowly, slowly, slowly..
The dancing finished eventually, the celebrations finished, and the boys were idle. Nothing to do, and like the saying, "idleness is the devils workshop" it was to be a night we would all remember. how did a night of silence, peace, singing and dancing, become a night of roughness, rowdiness and halph-hazardness, Wanna find out? please, buckle your belt, swallow your spit, and join me in this fruitful ride!
An idea, started to spread round the atmosphere, that they go and disturb girls hostel, and probably break into it, to elicit some ulterior motives, which we would soon see. It seemed like something totally crazy to do, at first, before Some dare devil boys arose from the darkness and gathered an army of boys, and like nigerian soldiers marching on boko haram, they gathered intelligience regarding the situation at girls hostel and they started to march towards girls hostel, singing solidarity songs and pidgin songs of war,minute later, the girls hostel was in sight! and they got there chanting songs as if to wait for the girls to march out in solidarity to join them in staging a somewhat peaceful protest, funny thing to do right? keep on, it doesn't end there!
TAFF! A stream of white light flashed from girls hostel, and seconds later, as if excitement followed the light, the girl screamed, and simultaneously, girls ran to their window, to peep at the army of boys waiting and wandering patiently outside their hostels! Imagine you put some girls, in a room while justin bieber strips, yeah, imagine the screams! Ythat was how our Abuad girls screamed with so much excitement, and more and more lights began to flash at the boys In front of their hostels!the screams got louder, and begun to attract a couple more boys from the male hostel!
And the crowd in front of girls hostel grew larger, rumor has it that there is another entrance into the girls hostel and some cunning boys sneaked through tht route into the girls hostel, you mist be wondering what had happened? well, in 9 months, we should be able to correctly know what has happened or not**chuckles**. Yes, back tk the case of the boys, they began to bang the door to girls hostel, and BOOM, the door creaked open, and as if they were sharing free suya, boys tumbled into girls hostel, with all amount of vigor and motives
As if ABUAD couldn't have timed it better, the lights came on! And simultaneously, the CSO cruised into the vicinity with his goons in a bid to trap the defaulters of the school rules. And like insects running from insecticide, the boys dispersed quickly, running helter skelter, some re-enacting scenes from matrix reloaded, scaling cars and flying barriers! They ran as fast as they coud till they got to the safe haven of the boys hostel with cunning smiles on their faces. "if they allowed us minutes more" was what was on the minds of some boys! Who knows what could have happened.
Other operatives like barrister okafor came to instill further peace in the atmosphere as boys dispersed to their respective rooms, now brighty lit with light powered from the Abuad generator. I walked briskly to my room and layed on my bed. And once again, staring at the ceiling fan, I write you this epic story of heroes vs villians.6
