The smell of weed and the smoke coming out from the weed roll made Jake wake up, and immediately he gasped as he saw himself in a different position, a position he never imagined himself in.
He looked around and saw a man sitting down on a chair with a roll of weed on his lips. He had a mask on his face and he was sitting comfortably with his legs crossed.
Jake was tied up and his body was dangling, his legs were tied to a rope upto the ceiling while his upper body was facing the ground, with his hands tied too.
“Who… who are you and now did you get into my room?” Jake asked fearfully.
The man smirked and removed the weed from his lips, he blew the smoke on Jake’s face and started laughing demonically.
“Too many questions, I’m nobody boy” He replied in a very hoarse voice, sending fear to Jake.
“You have finally woken up” He said again, and returned the weed to his lips.
“What do you want from me?” Jake asked, his legs were beginning to hurt him. It was hell for him in the condition he found himself in. He only sees things like this happen to people in movies but here he is experiencing it in life.
“What do I want from you?” He asked rhetorically and smirked callously.
“Why did you hurt her?” He asked and Jake stared at him in confusion.
“Who?” Jake asked.
“You don’t know her?” He asked and stood up from the chair.
“I don’t know her” Jake replied.
“Maybe this will make you remember her” He said and dragged a bag with his leg to his side.
Jake’s eyes went to the bag and he watched as the stranger opened the bag and started bringing out some fine looking long canes.
Jake’s eyes widened as he brought out about five to six of them.
Jake started shaking scaringly, he almost peed on himself as the man took off the cane.
The man faced him and smirked poisonously.
“Are you ready to answer my question now?” He asked, hitting the cane lightly on his pain.
Jake felt sweat covering his brows immediately, though the cane wasn’t yet used on him.
“I swear, I don’t know… who you are talking about” Jake said, scaringly.
“Think, think I’m losing my patience already” He laughed, cynically.
SHE?.. Jake was in a state of confusion as he thought hard to remember who he hurt.
His brain suddenly processed one name and he gasped.
“Remember her now?”.
“Crystal” Jake muttered.
“Making her cry was the biggest mistake of your life and you are going to regret it”.
“Who are you to her and how do you know I hurt her? Did she send you?” Jake asked.
“No she didn’t, I’m someone to her whom she didn’t even know of but anyone who will make her to cry or will hurt just her finger will regret it, what I’m about to do to you is just a warning, an iceberg of what I’m capable of doing” He replied and Jake almost lost his breath.
The man walked closer to him and his body started shaking.
He suddenly went behind him and immediately pulled his trouser and pants.
“What… are you doing?”.
“Shut up” The man said and a dirty slap dawned on his face.
“Arrrgggh!!!!!.
Instantly the cane landed on his (naked) buttocks and Jake groaned in pain.
“Arrg!! stop!!!”.
The man began hitting the cane on his buttocks continuously.
Jake’s painful cries were heard in the room as he continued lashing him till the cane broke.
“Please stop!! I’m sorry” Jake pleaded as tears were beginning to escape the corner of his eyes.
“Not yet done boy” He said and took another cane.
“No!!!!…”. Jake screamed as the cane landed on his buttocks already.
“Please I’m sorry, please!!!”.
“Arrgghhhhh!!!!”.
The lashing continued till four canes were wasted on Jake already.
Jake’s buttocks were as red as the color red itself, his buttocks were almost peeled off.
He is crying like a baby right now.
“Please, I’m sorry for hurting her emotionally, don’t lash me again” He said as his body rotated.
“This is just a warning, my eyes are on you, I’m watching you, if you dare try to hurt her physically then be ready to face my worst wrath” He said.
“I…”.
“Close that crap, I don’t want to hear a word from you, you are lucky I’m in a good mood” He yelled and removed a small knife from his front pocket.
Jake started crying again, thinking he was going to start another torture.
The man looked at him and started laughing mockingly.
He bent before him and cut the ropes on his hands.
He stood up straight and dropped the knife on the ground before him.
“Free yourself boy” He said and walked out of the room instantly.
Carl was still hugging Crystal whilst her hands were still wrapped around his body.
She has stopped crying already though it took time for her to finally stop crying.
Carl felt her heart beat beating slowly on his chest.
He slowly pulled himself a little and looked at her to discover her eyes shut.
“Sleeping already” He smiled and started cleaning some of the tears stain on the corner of her eyes.
He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with the bedsheet.
“Sleep well little witch” He said and made to stand up but he stopped and looked back as she held his hand.
Her eyes are open already.
She smiled at him.
“Thought you were asleep” He said.
“I was feeling sleepy” She replied.
Carl cupped her cheeks and she began staring at him, she started feeling the same fast heartbeat.
“So how did you feel when I hugged you?” He teased.
She smiled and pushed his chest.
“Stop teasing me” She said.
“Can you stop crying for him?” He asked and she looked at him.
She said nothing and looked away.
“I know it’s hard but please try, you still love him right?” He said.
“Yes” She replied slowly.
“Goodnight, make sure you wash your face before sleeping” He said and stood up.
Crystal pouted and nodded her head.
Carl smiled and walked out of the room.
“He’s so unpredictable, he can be annoying sometimes and sometimes he will be caring” She said and unconsciously touched her cheeks.
Carl walked out from the bathroom after taking his bath, he was already drying himself with the towel when his phone started ringing.
He looked at his phone on the bed and smiled as Dassie’s name was showing on the screen.
He took the phone and answered the call.
“Carl” Her girlish voice boomed.
“Good morning Dassie” He replied warmly.
“How are you?” She asked.
“I’m good, you?”.
“Same here” He replied.
“What are you doing now, preparing for school?” She asked.
“Yes, what about you?” He asked.
“I have just taken my bath, can I come over there during the weekend?” She asked.
“Really?, Sure I will be expecting you” He said.
“Okay, I will call you later” She said.
“Sure, have a nice day” He replied and she hung up.
Everyone is in the dining room except Carl.
“What is taking Carl so long to come down” Nancy asked.
“I will go and check on him” Crystal said.
“Okay Cherrie” Daniel said.
Crystal stood up and went upstairs. She got to Carl’s room and opened the door, she entered and met him brushing his hair.
He was looking so handsome without even trying.
Crystal found herself admiring his Sexy features but she quickly snapped out of it.
“Are you planning to seduce the girls in school?” She asked, folding her hands under her breasts.
Carl turned to her and smiled.
“Little witch” He said.
“Devil” She rolled eyes.
“Wow! someone is rolling eyes instead of sucking herself with tears” He said, teasingly.
“You!!” She yelled and stumped her feet on the ground.
Carl started laughing, her feisty side is always funny to him, seeing her weak side you will think she is a cool girl.
“Enough of brushing your hair, you will still look ugly” She said.
“Really?” He asked and dropped the brush on the table.
A smirk displayed on the corner of his lips, and he started walking to her.
Crystal started moving back till her back collided with the door. He caged her there and started feeling nervous.
“What… are you doing?” She stuttered nervously, her heart started beating erratically.
“Are you nervous?” He smirked, staring at her.
“I’m.. I’m not” She replied. Even Jake didn’t have this effect on her, why’s she feeling this way.
Carl smiled and moved away.
“We’re waiting for you downstairs” She said and quickly opened the door then walked out.
Carl took his bag and walked out.
“Good morning ma’am, sir” Carl greeted immediately as he got to the dining room.
“Carl” Nancy and Daniel replied warmly.
Carl sat down beside Crystal and she looked at him.
“Let’s eat” Nancy said and they started eating immediately.
Dylan groaned as he finished dressing up, he was still feeling sleepy.
It’s all Jasper and Candy’s fault. He didn’t have enough time to sleep.
Rachel came into his head and he frowned.
“That cold brat” He muttered.
He stepped out of the room and walked to the kitchen.
He took his cup of tea and started sipping from it.
He touched the locket necklace on his neck and smiled remembering her.
“Will you ever remember me?” He muttered sadly.
The girls came out of the hostel and started walking to their lecture hall.
“I had a hard time doing that assignment” Paisley said.
“Luckily we did it” Anne said.
“I pray that I should score higher” Lucy said and held a prayer sign with her hands.
“Someone is turning holy” Paisley said.
Anne stopped and dipped her hand into her bag, she gasped and the girls looked at her.
“What’s it?” Lucy asked.
“F*ck me, I forgot my assignment” Anne said.
“It’s not too late, go and take it” Paisley said.
” I will meet you girls in class” Anne said and rushed off.
She ran all the way back to the hostel, she opened the door and entered, she walked to her bed and saw her note on the bed.
“Here you are!” She said and took the note then walked out.
She was rushing to the lecture hall when suddenly she bumped into a hard chest.
She was about to look up when she started falling.
“Ahhh!!”.
She screamed as she crashed on the ground with the person, she ended up being on top of the person.
Her eyes widened when the person’s hands landed on her @ss.
