THE DARK SIDE OF ME. EPISODE 1

Michael Songe is the son of a very popular artist Jude Songe. He has three siblings, all being girls. His mother passed away a year ago. He is just a high school teenage boy who doesn't know anything other than the wealth of his home.
                                                                *
        He walks into the school premises with his siblings. The environment of the school being so rowdy and crowded with students walking almost unnecessarily to and fro. Some sitting in the gardens, some sitting on cars while some hanging on trees. Michael and his siblings enters the school building and depart to their different classes like always.
                                                                   *
 ''Good morning class, I hope we all had a splendid weekend. Today, I am going to give you my weekly assessment test and I hope we are all prepared for it. I am not going to change my mind about this and know that your results would be sent to your parents. Gabriel, I believe you are ready for this because if your performance is poor, you will have your father to deal with''. As this was being said, Miss Johnson walked to every desk distributing the test questions.
  Gabriel was known to be a very notorious boy in school. Always bullying and assaulting students. He had his crew members with him, who he would always walk with. He was really pissed at Miss Johnson for the impromptu test. He knew that he wasn't prepared for it at all and could not fail either, because of what his dad might do to him.
 The class became noisy all of a sudden because the students were panicking. They knew that how unready they were for the test. In fact, the only person who look ready and serious was Michael. He gently opened the test question without any sign of fear or disturb on his face and began to answer them. His class mates were perplexed at his behaviour towards the test.
                                                                      *
 The bell rang, and the students dismissed their classes. Michael took his books and carried his bag pack. He walked towards his locker. Getting close to his locker, Gabriel and his guys blocked him. They removed his glasses and threw it on the floor.
 ''Congratulations, so you did the test right? Bravo. Let me tell you something, if you think you are so smart and intelligent, I will show that I deal with people like you'' Gabriel said as he assaulted Michael. Michael looking really scared couldn't defend himself. '' Sssssso...rry'' he tried to say.  The guys laughed at him because he stammered. His words were not always clear. The guys laughed as they walked out on him. Michael bent down to pick his glasses, only to discover that they were already broken as a result of the busy hall.
                                                                      *
  ''Yyyyy..you ca....call..ed me ma'' Michael struggled to say as he stood in front of Miss Johnson's. He wondered why she called for him.
She stood up from her chair, removed her glasses and gave him his test scripts. He saw an A on it. She told him that she was surprised that any of her student could pass the test.
 ''I called you to my office to confirm that you didn't cheat, did you?'' she asked Michael, looking at him with a suspicious eye. Michael looked at her feeling really angry that she would accuse him of cheating. He nodded his head to reply telling her he didn't. ''I still don't believe you, how is it possible that you were the only one that passed my test. I will do my own investigation about, good day'' Miss Johnson said as she walked back to her seat.
                                                                       *
 Michael and his siblings were about to leave the school premise when a girl screamed his name from behind. The voice was a little bit faint because of the noisy environment. They turned back, only for them to see a girl running towards them. Her name is Sarah, Michael's class mate.
  '' Oh hi, Michael I am so sorry to disturb but Miss Johnson said she would want to see you in her office tomorrow. Also she said that she is very disappointed at you for what you did. I don't know what's happening, but is everything okay?''. Michael started to look very nervous '' ye...yes every.....th....thi....thing is fine''. The look on Sarah's face didn't show that she was convinced with what Michael had said. ''Okay then, we will see tomorrow, bye'' she said as she walked away.
                                                                       *
 Walking down the street with his siblings, some guys yelled Michael's name. He turned back and saw it was Gabriel and his guys. He told his siblings to go, and that he would handle it. They guys approached him.
  '' Do you think you are smart? You saw us coming and you told your beautiful sisters to go. You are so foolish because in front of you, we would rape all of them''.
This statement got Michael really angry. He ran towards Gabriel and tried to hit him, but couldn't because the guys held him back. The expression on Michael's face showed that he was full with so much anger. '' Yyyyy...you think yyyyo.....ca....can......jus....t ''Michael tried to talk but was interrupted by one of the guys, telling him to keep quiet. They pushed him to the floor and walked away.
 The guys laughed as they walked out on Michael. Gabriel put his hands in his pocket and discovered that his pen was missing, but cared less about it as he was engrossed in the conversation.
                                                                       *
 On the dinning section of the house, the family of Jude Songe were having dinner.
'' How was your day guys'' the father asked. They replied him back and said it was nice, but Michael didn't say a word. ''Michael, are you okay'' the father asked his son, looking really concerned. Michael got up from the chair. He explained to his dad that he had lost appetite and wasn't feeling well. Then went upstairs to his room.
                                                                      *
As Michael walked into the hall, everyone was looking really tensed and shocked. The environment had changed not busy again and he could see police everywhere. He began to feel tensed himself, so decided to get to his class and find out what had happen. When he got to his class, he could see his classmate looking shocked and tense as well. He tried to get information from people as to what happened but he couldn't because they were too shocked to speak. He was able to locate Sarah, so he walked towards her.
''Wha......wha......wha.....happened..........here'' he asked. Sarah looked at him with tears in her
''Miss Johnson is dead. She died last night. The scary thing is, the police said it was a homicide. Michael, what made me shocked was when the police was able to trace the murder weapon to Gabriel. I mean I know that he is a bad and troubled boy, but murder!!! That never crossed my mind''. As sarah said this, Michael looked really shocked as he walked backwards gently and sat on the chair. He looked so shock, like he had seen a ghost.
                                                                     *
In the cold of the night, a guy in a black hood walked into a quiet area where he met other guys there.
'' We did it sir, we were able to plant the murder weapon with Gabriel, now everyone thinks he killed her. And you sir did a good job last night with Miss Johnson. She already saw your face and were so close to being caught.''
 The young guy smiled and replied     ''I.....I.......I.....kn....ow''.

DEEP BREATH part 1

          The sound of the gunshots woke me up from sleep. I heard little children screaming outside. I quickly put on a black t-shirt and a short lemon nicker. I ran outside and saw a death pool of catholic sisters and some children, blood flooded the whole environment. I ran to where the other children were and I saw them crying with blood stained hands and clothes. Tears filled my eyes but I couldn't cry because I knew it wasn't the time for emotions. I closed the door of the room where they were hiding and told them to keep shut. All of a sudden, the whole place became really quiet, then I could hear their voices. I peeped through a small hole in the door and saw them with guns, cutlass and all sorts of arms. They walked through the dead bodies and made sure no one was alive by shooting them twice. There was no conscience in their eyes. There was no pity. At some point, I asked myself if they were humans, because I knew every human being ...
