Must Read: It Is Teenage Love

Segun opened the gate and found Emma and his
guys standing, looking mean and filled with rage.
They advanced towards him as he tried to lock the
gate but they overpowered him.

They kicked, beat and hit him with various weapons,
he sustained so many injuries. After beating him to their satisfaction they left him. He tried standing up but he passed out.

ONE HOUR LATER
Jummy got down from the bike and walked towards
Segun’s house. She got to the gate and met the gate
opened. She peeped inside and saw Segun’s figure
lying unconsciously at a corner. She dropped her
bag and ran towards him, she shook him vigorously
crying.
She felt his heartbeat and she quickly ran towards
the garden where she picked bucket, she filled it
with water and sprinkled it on his face.
He came back to life but was unaware of the
situation. He could only remember seeing
Emmanuel befor he passed out.
Jummy took him inside and la!d him on a three
seater chair. She went into the kitchen based on his
directives and got some painkilling drug. She gave it
to him, and went back to prepare him a hot tea.
Segun felt better after sometimes and thanked
jummy for her kindness.

“Will you be able to go for you exam today?” Jummy asked with concern.

“I’ll go.” he said standing up and he went to dress
up.
They left the house after sometime and off they went
to their centre. They alighted from the bus and they
walked into Loyola college.

Segun walked to his seat and sat down putting his
head on the locker.

“Segun. Are you okay?” Nike asked.

“Yes i am. It’s just that i am a little bit weak.” Segun replied.

“I was scared because it is unusual of you to be quiete……” she was saying before Jummy slapped
her from behind.

“What are you looking for? You want to know if your thugs did their work perfectly abi? You Sluut.” Jummy rained abuses on her.

“Jummy what is your problem?” segun asked standing up.

“My problem? She is my problem.” Jummy said
angrily as she move toward Nike.

Nike took a step backward and hid behind Segun.
Segun stopped her from doing anything.

“Nike, am very sorry.” Segun said as he held her and
took her to her seat.

Jummy stood at a spot and was looking at them with
fury.
“Am i with the right guy? Imagine my boyfriend
going against me in public.” she thought.
Segun returned back to his seat and looked at
Jummy with an angry face.
“Baby. Am sorry.” Jummy said.
Segun walked back to his seat and met Jummy
standing.

“Baby, am sorry.” she apologised.

He looked at her with contempt, ignored her and sat
down. She sat down beside him and held hand.

“Baby am sorry.” she said.

“But why would you humilliate the poor girl?” he
asked.

“Segun, try and understand me. See what those guys did to you. If you keep on being friends with her you
are putting yourself into more danger.” she
lectured.

“Okay. I’ve heared you.” he said.

“Promise me you’ll distance yourself from her.” she
said.

“I can’t promise but i’ll try and reduce my
closeness.” he replied.

The invigillator came in and distributed the question paper and the answer sheet. They began writing.

TWO HOURS LATER.

Segun came out of the exam hall holding hands with Jummy.

“Baby, come and know my house today.” she said
pleadingly.

“Today? I don’t have much time to spare.”
he replied.

“Just twenty minutes. I promise i won’t take your time.” She said.

“Okay.” he replied as they both walked out of the
school compound and headed towards Jummy’s
place along bestway.

They got there in no time and saw no one at home.

They hunged out till around 6pm when it dawned on Segun that he was in for it today.
He hurriedly left for home bearing it at the back of
his mind that he is in a great trouble.
He got home knocked on the gate and Mary came to
open for him. He entered and saw his father’s car
parked.

He did the sign of cross and went inside.
“Go and wait for me in my room.” The man thundered.

Segun walked into his father’s room and waited for
him. Twenty minutes later his father came inside
looking angry.

“Why did you come late.” The man asked.

“I was stucked up in a traffic jam.” he lied.

“That means i flew home back from office, that was
why i didn’t witness hold up.” The man said.

“I took another route.” he explained.

The man went out angrily and entered with a leather belt. He commanded Segun to lie down on his stomach.

Without complain, Segun obeyed his father.
“Daddy, you have a call.” Mary said knocking on the
door.

He opened the door, collected the phone and picked
the call. He spoke on the phone for the next ten
minutes keeping an eye on the criminal before him.
He dropped the call and gave Segun twenty two
lashes.

He told him to remain on his knees and carry a stool
on his hands.

Segun’s phone rang, but he pretended as if he didn’t
hear.

His father commanded him to pick the call and put it
on loudspeaker.

“Hello sweetheart are you home?” Jummy asked from the other end.

Segun looked at his father but got a smile in return.

“Yeah, am home.” he replied.

“Okay. I just want to comfirm.” she said.

“Okay, good night.” Segun said
“Love you.” she replied.

Segun quickly ended the call and waited for his
father’s judgement now that he knew that he had a
girlfriend. But was suprised when his father told him
to go to his room.

“Go to your room, loverboy.” His father said jokingly.

Segun stood up and left for his room thinking maybe his father did not hear what Jummy said to him.

“Wonders shall never end sha. So this man even understood my parol.” he said to himself laughing.


Segun got into his room, undressed and went into
the bathroom to take his bath. He came out, took his
phone opened his whatsapp and chat with his online
friends. As at the time he logged out he had another
verbal combat with Mike.

He la!d down to sleep but was interrupted by a kock
on his door. He sluggishly stood up and opened the
door and their stood his Father and mother.
He opened the door wider for them and closed the
door after they entered.

He sensed he is in for hours of councelling.
“Segun, Segun, Segun. How many times did i call
you?” His mother asked.

“Three times.” he replied.

“I am your mother and i don’t want you to make mistakes.” she said.

He kept his face down.


“I want to ask you some questions and i want
nothing but the truth.” she explained.

“Okay, go ahead ma.” he replied.

“Who is Jummy. I want nothing but the truth.” she
emphasized.

“She is my girlfriend.” he replied looking at their
faces to know their reaction but was suprised when
he saw them smilling.

“How old are you?” she asked.

He already saw this coming.

“Am sixteen.” he replied.

His father stood up when he became bored of the
conversation.

“i want to see Jummy and Olanike before this week runs out.” she said.

He was wondering how his mum got to know about
Olanike.

“Don’t be suprised. I read everything in your diary.”
She informed.

It was then it dawned on him that he had been
careless with his things.

“Let them see me in my shop and you must be there
with them.” she said standing up.
“Okay ma.” he replied.

His mother stood up and left his room. He quickly
picked up his phone and informed Jummy about the
latest development.

Jummy was happy that she would be meeting his
boyfriend’s mum.

His phone rang after the call then he discovered it
was Nike.

“Hello.” he greeted.

“Segun am very sorry about what Emma did to you today.” she said.

“It’s nothing.” he replied.

“Are you sure?” she asked.

“Yes i am.” he replied.

“Thanks dear.” she responded.

“Nike, i want to tell you something.” he said.

“Go on am listening.”

“My mum wants to see you in her shop tomorrow.”


“Me? Hope no problem?”

“None at all.”

“How will i get the place?” she asked.

“I will text the address to you.” he replied.


“Okay.”
“Goodnight.”[/B]

He said and ended the call. Immediately he dropped
the call, he text the address to her
