What're friends for?

Episode 8

Rita was happy with the plans and begged her to make sure it becomes real. Few minutes after she dropped the call, another call came in from an unknown caller. “Hello! Am i speaking with Rita?” the voice asked. “Yes sir. Who am i speaking with? And I hope no problem?” Rita being curious answered.
“I’m the general secretary to the student union government. First of all, we are sorry about what happened to you during the matriculation party and we want to tell you that we are on it and we are going to bring to justice those that did that to you.

Rita told them not to worry about what happened to her that she’s fine and had let go of it. “I’m fine now and wouldn’t want to be involved in anything that will remind me or dig up that issue again. Please can we forget about it and let God judge whosoever did it by himself "

Rita was still asked to come to the students' union office very early the next day, which she did and when she got there, she met Nath and Pam on the seat and that got her upset. Even when both friends tried to greet her or talk to her, she acted dumb and didn’t even say a word neither did she look at their   direction and that got Nath angry and  he started talking “What’s even wrong with you and why are you acting this way to us without hearing us out. What is it you’re angry about that you can’t even hear us out - the ones you call your friends!” he hissed and changed his sitting positing.


“Friends my foot! Don’t ever call me your friends again. Just go your way, let me go my way please. I don’t want to have anything to do with whosoever that took advantage of me in my  unconsciousness. Just imagine! How can you make me sleep naked in your room with the door unlocked and the window opened? Who removed my clothes? Why will that person even do that? Why couldn't you take me to my hostel in the first place if not that you had ulterior motives in mind? Oh God! Why am i even talking? Imagine” she started crying “both of you allowed it to be obvious to the crowd before you got me away from that gathering that night and now, I've become a laughing stock amongst everyone. Do you know how hard it is for me to walk in school any time? See, no matter how you try, there is a stigma on me already and it cannot leave. When i needed you guys the most, you weren’t there. You even took advantage of me. Who knows if you molested me?” she said all of this and wanted to walk out before the SUG president called her back.

Nath left the place with annoyance after persuading Pam to join him which he didn’t. He was so angry to the point that he insulted Pam for staying back and that almost led to a fight between them. Pam also left when he couldn’t stop getting angry. Rita was left with the president and some other executives until the organizers of the event arrived and the discussion began.               

  Rita was silent throughout the discussion and while looking at the organizers, it was as if she should get a gun and shoot them but she listened to them as they told her of how they knew nothing of what was added in the drink and can't point at those that did it. They also acknowledged their fault for broadcasting pictures and videos of the event and finally begged Rita. They promised to pull down the contents from their social handles and also promised to pay for any damages and also happily serve any punishment meted out.   

Rita couldn’t even alter a word when I they were done talking. All she did was agree with what the SUG president said. She just wanted to leave the environment and stop having to relive the past. In her heart, she was still on with her payback plans. As soon as the SUG president concluded his talk, Rita thanked him quickly and left the building for her house.

Pam dressed up to go teach his new friend at her house. He put on a short and a jersey complemented by a cap. He didn’t have transport fare but he had to borrow from someone and set out to go while calling her at intervals to locate her hostel. She was set, putting on a bumper short with a transparent top without a bra exposing her cleavages. She called Rita to give her update on her progress with the plan and to confirm if the contract was still intact.       

Pam was on bike when he received a call from a strange number and he picked but he couldn’t hear. So he promised to call back when he alights from the bike which he did - though he almost forgot, but after getting the exact location he was heading to, he remembered and dialed the number immediately.

The called ended and Pam remained paralyzed on the spot. His mom who has been responding to treatment before suddenly ended up in coma and he was asked to come around. He didn’t know what to do and also, he didn’t have transport fare too. He tried calling Nath but his phone was switched off, he then thought of who else to call and it was only Rita that was coming to mind.  So he called her but she didn’t pick up, so he sent her a message telling her to pick up his call, she did but...
