Lost Control

At this moment, everything became so slow as I became the only one with a face. I could feel everything around me with great intensity; this has nothing to do with my ability to hear, though if I wanted to, this was like becoming one with nature, as every sound and every atom of air that made its way in my direction was noticed. As Sani swung his fist towards me, I saw how slow it came and how fast I am, so I intercepted it. I don't know where this reflex came from, but I suddenly developed a strong defensive reflex due to the fact that I became so fast. Yeah, I became faster; nothing became slow; this was something I noticed later. So when he delivered the blow, I held Sani by the hand, and without hesitation, I twisted the hand to his back. I must truly confess that I wasn't fully in control of my actions that day. Though it wasn't like I blacked out like the last time, this time I was aware of everything, but I wasn't in control. It felt like there was this force within me that wanted to teach the boys some lessons. As I twisted his hands to his back, he cried out in pain, so Ojo picked up a big stone from the ground to hit me again, but he was just too slow; he couldn't even get up with the rock I had already intercepted. I left Sani, and I moved very fast, like in the Marvel superhero movies. When I came for Ojo, I disarmed him of the rock in his hand and threw it away. He now fell to the ground, dragging his buttocks on the ground as he begged. Now I shouted at them, saying,

"Leave my side!" 

As I screamed, I felt my eyes changing, like I was about to transform into something else. When they saw my eyes, they all ran out in tears, screaming like a pregnant hen. When I had that strange feeling like I was transforming, I also got a grip of fear as I remembered the dream I had the previous night, so I tried to hold myself and add a little control to my consciousness. After that, I regained full consciousness and control of myself again. I truly loved the feelings I got at that moment when I saw the boys run for fear; though I could not explain what happened, I definitely loved it, aside from the distinct part where I felt like I was transforming into something I did not know about. Now I understand what the four boys in the east said they saw when I entered the water, but what is the connection between my eyes and the water? And why will I get faster after entering the water? There were thoughts that ran through my cutely folded head as I eased myself. After I'm done easing myself, I come out to meet the Super Cee, who has been waiting for me for what seems like forever already. 

"What happened?   Why did you take that long? Where are you delivering a baby? "We saw Sani and Ojo running out of the same place you went; I hope you are well." 

Cynthia asked as I came out.

"Yeah, I met them there." "I only gave them a little scare."

"Hmm, I love this; you are a strong man; I love you."

Charity said.

"Hahahaha, long throat, don't just stay on one side first."

Cynthia added.   And they all laughed, aside from me, who was still thinking about the incident in the restroom.

After the toulet incident, we both went to the poolside only to find out that it was already our turn to practice. Almost all the students and most teachers came to watch the new kid swim. I also noticed that Kunle and Bright, who had always enjoyed their competitive feud, suddenly became friends.

"Wait o, could these guys possibly be having a friendly discussion or a gang up?"

Charity asked as she noticed the two boys discussing. Kunle and Bright were actually discussing swimming strategy and how to defeat me. It now appeared to me that even the mighty Merman of the school was scared of challenging me in the finals. He would rather have the likes of Bright and others that he has comfortably defeated three times. They were still discussing the strategy when Sani and Ojo ran to them. "Too bright," they said.

"Come, I have something to tell you."

But Bright, who felt he had found a new friend in Kunle, told his friend to tell him what they had to say in the presence of Kunle. Though Oji tried to persuade Bright to excuse himself so he could hear what they had to say, he insisted that if they must say anything, it should be before Kunle, so they had to break their silence in a churus manner.

"You must not compete against that demon."

"And who is the demon?"

Kunle asked.

"Hahaha, that's what we call the new kid."

Bright responded.

"And as for you two, I'm so disappointed in you guys, so now you are trying to tell me that you have joined the people who think that an albino demon can defeat me." "Seriously, I'm disappointed in you."

Bright added.

"Can you imagine, and you said they were your trusted friends?"

Kunle said mockingly.

"No, Brighto, this is not what you think; we just had an encounter with that evil boy; look at us now, see how dirty we look; that demon dealt with the both of us."

Sani said as he showed Bright his dirty body.

"Mercilessly, he dealt with him mercilessly."

Oko added now, excluding himself.

"You two lazy clowns went to fight that kid despite my warning against it." Now see how you have made a shame of yourself, so you two think that, because you were so lazy that the little Albino devil beat you up, he will also defeat me in swimming? "The both of you must be stupid."

Bright said as he expressed his utmost disappointment at his friends.

"No, Bright, he is too fast; his eyes changed; even his face changed." "Bright, please, this boy is demonic; please forfeit the competition."

Oko said.

"God forbid!" "Now get out of this place."

Bright said, looking very angry.

They were still there having their little confrontation when we were called to be ready for the swim. Like I said earlier, we were the last to swim that day, and many people crowded to watch us compete.
