STORY: MY UNCLE PART 17

My uncle part 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.
