Boyfriends-by Ebehi Iyoha Chapter 2
I went to my locker and tried to open it but I spent some time
fumbling with my combination lock because my hands were trembling.
“Nneka thank you for wasting my time,” Mrs. Uche said.
I turned and gave her a sheepish smile as I walked to my bed. She liked to act strict but I had worked with her in Music club and she was actually a nice person. I swallowed hard. Together Mrs. Uche and Deola searched the eight other girls in the room before getting to me and Aisha. By now Aisha looked very scared especially when she noticed that they were checking mattresses too.
Deola rummaged through my locker and she spent a much longer time doing so than she had done with the other girls. The relieved look on Aisha’s face mirrored mine. But then Mrs. Uche came to the bed and patted the mattress all over. I froze. I shook my head. It was paper for goodness’ sake. “Deola come and check this mattress.” The prefect came and removed my bedsheets. She checked the mattress for any holes. Deola said. Mrs. Uche walked over and put her hand inside the hole and pulled out something.
There was a collective gasp when she opened her palm to reveal its contents. Lying in her hand were not just the crumpled naira notes Aisha had given me.
