Chapter 4 (Football and Mystery)

Kevin POV

I woke up the next morning. I walked into the bathroom with a towel around my waist.

After I am done bathing, I check my little wardrobe. I have stuck with clothes for the outfit I am wearing to school.

I brought out black, black, black, crazy right. I put on all black and decided to warm the food from yesterday 's leftovers food, ate it, flung my backpack and started walking to the school.

I was suddenly lost as I did not know where the lecture would be taking place. I do have the time table and the location but to locate it is the problem.

"You lost?" A guy asked me.

"Yes, I am," I replied.

"Where are you heading to?" He asked.

"Block PA3" I replied.

"Follow me" He said and took me to the lecture room.

"It is here" He announced once we got there.

"Thanks" I thanked.

"And by the way I love your outfit" He complimented and I chuckled.

"Did you have some burial to attend or something?" He asked and we both burst into laughter.

"I am off" He replied and I lost the chance to know his name.

I walked into the lecture room.

"Come over here" Sara waved me over.

"Hi," I greeted when I got to her.

"Hi.. How is your night?" She asked.

"It was splendid and yours?" I replied.

"It was great" She replied and I sat beside her.

Cora walked into the lecture and headed to where I am sitting.

"Hi Sara" She greeted.

"Hi.. How is your night?" Sara asked.

"It sucks and yours?" She asked back.

"It is great.. and I'll bet, I will love to hear what makes your night sucks" Sara replied.

"It is nothing to worry about," She replied, sitting beside her.

The line we are sitting on is on the second line.

"Met Kevin and Kevin met Cora" Sara introduced.

"It is nice meeting you," She said, looking at me for a moment.

"It is nice meeting you too" I replied stretching my hand for a handshake but it was left hanging.

"Sorry about that" Sara apologized since she was not taking my hand and I smiled. And then the lecturer entered the class.

"Hello student, I am Mrs Peter, I will be taking you, introduction to Public administration, with course code, Pad 111" She introduced

"So class can someone tell me what Public administration is?" She asked and I raised up my hand and answered her question perfectly as there was clapping for me.

After the lecturer ended. We kept on having lecture after lecture.

We finished all our lectures by 4 PM.

"Assh, I am tired.. if someone had told me we will work like this on our first week of resumption, I would have told him it is a lie" I replied.

"K and Q are very strict with their grade, students with third class are advised to withdraw and students with second class lower are frowned at by the school authority thereby limiting them from social activities like football" She replied.

"Wow, this is serious.. Are you for real now?" I asked.

"Yes... to keep on being in the football team, you have to maintain a second class upper position which start from 3.0 G.P or first class which start from 3.5 G.P all the way to 4.0" She replied as we walked on with Cora with us but she was not interfering and was silent

"Wow" I replied, I did not have to worry about the G.P. because, I am a straight A's student and I also will be here.

"Just so you don't know, we will be closing lectures by six in the evening on Monday and Thursday, the rest of the day is Four PM and lower because of sports activities," She added.

"Thanks for the heads-up," I replied.

"You are most welcome," She replied.

Just then a jeep drove to us, as we stopped walking.

A man came out of the jeep after a bodyguard opened the door for him

"Dad. You are here to pick me?" Cora said.

"Anything for my daughter" He replied with a smile.

"Who are they?" He asked.

"My friend," She replied.

"This Sara…. And this is Kevin" She finally introduced me after it took her a long time.

"It is nice meeting you two," He said, shaking hands with Sara and me.

"I am Mr Austin," He introduced.

He got into the car and drove off with Cora.

"I did not expect him to be this humble," Sara said.

"I don't know why my spirit is not settled around him" I replied

"It is normal, I do feel that also. It happens with my stepmom after my mom died" She replied suddenly getting sad.

"Sorry about that," I replied.

"But now, me and my stepmom are friends" She replied happily.

"Let's go to the stadium.. My Dad will be waiting for you" She added and we moved to the field.

Immediately the Head Coach sighted me, he said.

"You are here, young man.. common and show us what you got" He said.

"With humility" I added and me and Sara chuckled.

I handed my backpack to Sara and went into the field. 

"Your job is to get the ball into the post and you are to get it past the four defenders without shooting a straight goal" He instructed and I looked around the stadium and I sighted many footballers looking at me with two junior Coaches.

He blew the whistle and the playing began. I moved the ball toward the first defender and I dribbled him, I dribbled the next one, and passed the third one easily. The last one also fell for my trick and the ball passed through his two legs. I got to the post and I waited for them to get the ball. And right in front of the post, I re-dribbled them causing three of them to fall while trying to get the ball and I gently pushed the ball into the post.

The footballers on the field cheered me and I smiled.

"Enough of the cheering" The head coach ordered and everyone quieten down

"You tried but that's not your best work on yourself" He said with a straight face and I looked at Sara and she was giving the eyes to hope high.

"Congratulations, You already joined the Newbie/First year team as the first lead striker" He replied, shaking me and I smiled.

"I am Mr Landon by the way" He introduced.

"I am Kevin Edison" I introduced back.

"Oops, my name is Peter," He added.

"Go over there and get signed, the training is about to begin" He replied.

"How is lecture Sara?" He asked.

"Great" She replied as I went to get signed and joined the training.

Later in the night

Both me and Sara got going home.

"Don't mind my daddy, you played great" Sara said with a smile.

"Yeah, I know. He is someone strict and I like him" I replied.

"Yeah, he is very strict with my twin brother also," She said.

"Wow, so you are a twins" I asked

"Yes" She replied

"Does he play football?" I asked.

"Yes.. he loved it" She replied.

"Is he on the field when I was playing?" I asked

"Yes," She replied.

"Wow.. So what did you love?" I replied.

"Singing," She replied.

"What type of song did you love singing?" I asked.

"All," She replied.

"That's great then" I replied

I came down in front of my house and watched her drive away..

Just then I saw someone walking to my house and I watched on, he did not see me since I was in the dark. He walked to the bush at the back of my house and I followed him silently, not making him aware of my present. He looked around and I hid behind a tree and then he removed his head and I gasped out a bit loud covering my mouth in the process.

"Who is there?" The head in his hand talked and I was shocked to the bone.

The eyes on the head he was holding turned to one eye and the eye is red and I was even more shocked. When he removed a long spear from the under of the head and dashed away. After putting the head back on his neck.

Is it even possible for someone to remove a long spear from a head, not to talk of removing a head from the neck.

This school and its surrounding is not really normal.
