Naagin (rise of the serpent)

Chapter Four:Praise The Villain

" Remember I told you are from the Umuguor community. Years ago, the Umuguor community had a disagreement with the Agbejor community and it resulted to a war and it was a bloody war that killed your father and your mother. The people of Agbejor community took over the land of Umuguor and made its people slaves. You were lucky to have survived. The others are being in slavery. The imperial government have refused to do anything about it."

"There is also something I will tell you. Before the capture and bringing down of Umuguor community, the Chief priestess prophesied of a chosen one that will free the people of Umuguor and we have been holding on to that prophecy.

Praise has been making friendly approaches to me even though I didn't like him. He is always close to me,it always made me uncomfortable.

It even got to a time he was always putting his hands over my waist.

One time when Ovie went out of the class during break time, he tried to kiss me, but I refused to heed. Ovie finally came back. I didn't want to stay alone with a jerk like Praise.

He made me sick anytime I see him. But I always conceal it.

It's funny, Ovie and Praise are friends and they share the same ideas but Praise is somehow usually jealous of Ovie.

They shouldn't actually be friends. If you ask me,Praise isn't a good friend, somehow.

The principal,Mrs Stella came to our class to announce something important, but immediately, she was about to give the information, she got an urgent call and the announcement had to be prosponed. I wondered what the announcement was all about. I had to bear.

The next day which was on Tuesday,I went out with Ovie during break time. It was fun being with him. He even bought me ice-cream and it was sweet.

"Do you like your ice- cream?" he asked during our walk.

I do, it's very sweet. Hei, what very Important information did the principal wanted to tell us?" I asked.

"I don't know, but she had to leave the school, yesterday, she received a phone call. It must have been urgent. I also heard she is going to give us the announcement today. Let's go to class before the Bell is rung" he said to end the conversation.
