One thing l will Neve forget was one day Harris rescued me from the hands of two person that waited for me the day l was returning from school.
Do you know this people poured sand inside my mouth but it was Harris that used his hands and scattered all of them.
Only me and Ofiso are the intelligent ones among ourselves, two of us help in teaching the other ones. the one l don't know Ofiso teaches us, the one he don't know l teach them.
Alex was that her mother was a trader, she sells ice fish, everytime he brings fishes that we eat at school. if you look very well you will see that was everyone is important".
Patricia after looking at him started laughing at him after laughing at him she said to him "Have you finished talking? is there anyone remaining? Kelvin let me tell you, be a responsible person to your parents, it is not compulsory that you will make friends but look for the good character ones, leave Bryan and the colleagues they have lead you into different problems, leave them and look for the ones that will give you peace of mind.
Take the knowledge you came to acquire serious, know it that you are from a prospective home if you want to hear you do, if you don't you leave, a word is enough for the wise.
When they got to the stream, two of them swimmed and later went back to their homes.
Kelvin has graduated to the sixth class. his father manage to train him to the last class of Academy. what remain for him now is writing final school exams to graduate and enter into the tertiary institution. The hope of Adrian was his son to pass the exam, he tried in different ways to support Kelvin. he bought him all the books he needed for the preparation of the exam. He went further and paid one of the teachers his name was Miquel three hundred naira for him to help support Kelvin very well for the sake of that exam. Miquel comes to Adrian's house in a short while to teach Kelvin books he need to know. Adrian told Kelvin to stop doing every house choice at home so that he will have time to read his books very well.
One day Adrian brought Kelvin inside to discuss with him. when Kelvin entered inside the room, Adrian said to him saying "my son if you look at me you will see that l have grown old same with your mother. two of us tried and make sure that we trained you in school. me and your mother starve some days to make sure you graduate, me and your mother were not opporturned to go to school the way you schooled today.
We desire strong for you to study more.
"Anytime l saw people like doctor, lawyer, engineer, it gives me joy in different ways.
The good thing you will do for me is becoming one of them that was why l supported you with all my resources to your schooling.
"Now please I'm pleading you is for you to do well in the exam that is coming. please don't disappoint me, you are the only son l have given birth to. Before you are born, to concive was difficult for your mum but thanks to God that made us to have you.
"l plead you again to stop following those friends of yours that misleads you, is not that you will not have friends but what l want is for you to have friend that are trained very well. those that have the fear of God, those that respect their parents, those that listen to the advice of their parents.
Anything that happens to you will affect me most especially now l have grown old, you heard me?
Kelvin promise his father that he will write the way he will see that he passed that exam but what is difficult for him was him to leave Bryan and the rest of his friends.
School dismissed and everyone was going home to their various houses but Kelvin, Bryan, Harris and Alex refused to go home.
Bryan brought out ball for them to play four of them scattered the chairs in the class.
As they were playing the ball, same time student (female) two of them were at the side of the window pounding cha cool they will use to dark the board that was used to taught them.
Their two names were Maria and Barbara.
When Kelvin and his friends were playing ball, then Maria told them that they don't play ball inside the class. she told them that they don't play ball inside the class. she told them to take the ball outside. Bryan refused, saying that they are not going anywhere. As they are playing Alex wanted to pass the ball to Harris but Harris used his strength and kick off the ball from Alex, hastily the ball hit at the window frame. one it falled and broke into pieces. piece of it got Maria injured and blood started rushing out everywhere.
Maria shouted with a loud voice that made the security man of the school to come and ask what happened to her. As he was approaching hastily Bryan and his colleagues run away with their bags and went home from there.
After Bryan and his friends ran away, they were later caught when they came to school the next day. when the properitor finished bathing them with cane, he calculated the total cost of the window frame that broke and the money they used to treat Maria at the hospital. Dividing it to their number and it came out one thousand three hundred naria only.
They told all of them not to enter the school vestry until he pay the money complete. hastily Bryan, Harris, Ofiso and Alex brought their own money and started schooling.
A big thing happened when Kelvin tod his father what happened. Adrian couldn't hold himself, his heart was beating fast and he fell down. he did not him again, when he was taken to the hospital, doctor find out that one side of his body is dead. this they are doing Adrian gave up to ghost.
Linda cried to her God but that couldn't raise Adrian back to life, that was how Kelvin send his father to early grave. Where will they see money for the burial? Kingsmen agreed together that they will sale their land to burial their brother.

As she was thinking all these, same time she was thinking the condition of her son, high blood pressure came upon her she couldn't survive it long and gave up to ghost.
After Linda died, the kingsmen gathered together and sold the remaining land.
Money realize from the sold land they used it to burial her. it was Kelvin that used his hands and brought the gun that fired him, that's why he was left as an orphan and started seeing the main suffer.
After the death of Kelvin's parents, kingsmen joined hands together and took Kelvin to his maternal home at newi north.
Only crying was what Patricia was doing because of the condition of Kelvin.
Her parents warned her not to follow Kelvin that was why she left Kelvin and got married. The husband she married studied in a high institution, the name of her husband was Eliza. he was a doctor, Kelvin did not went back to school again, his uncles and anties did not give him a good training at all but they allowed him to be wondering about, moving about like someone who does not have a guider where he was begging for food he will eat. that was how Kelvin went on and become a missing person till today.
