Heartbeat

CHAPTER TWO

EKEOMA POV

3 months later ...

I stared at my phone, my w******p message to be precise, to see if any new message will come, any notification sound that vibrates in my hand, makes me jump with my heart racing faster, increasing the anxiety I felt already...

Your probably wondering what and whose message am anxiously waiting for right??

calm down I'll fill you in okay...

Well am waiting for my departmental results, Joshua is supposed to check and send it to me, because am too chicken to do so... Yep that's me, am weak at heart, one of my many endearment, oh sorry going off track again...

So you are probably wondering, it's just a departmental results, what's all these drama for ??

But it's different when am at home, I mean home town with my parents, I came back for vacation so yep am at home with my family who are all waiting for me to check my results and show them.

I live in a typical Nigerian home, am the first child, which means one thing, every one is looking up to me, to make them proud, especially after I got a local scholarship and a straight up admission into the law faculty in Oka,

So I really need to keep my reputation and a clean record.

That is the reason am currently sitting in the living room, anxiously waiting for, I wonder how well I did, because I know I read very well

" V calm down, you read shege, so

nothing fit happen"

I chided myself.

I was startled by the vibration in my laps, that made me jump and almost drop my phone, but I quickly caught it

Phew... Thanks goodness.

I stared at the caller's ID and quickly rushed to pick the call, and stumbled out of the room;

" Hello, Joshua Hwfar u don check am, this one you call me, u no fit send am, is it good, I get any C I tell my papa say I no fit get C na either A or B"

" Ahh Madam calm down, your departmental results are not the problem; am sure you did well, I called for something else,

I think your lucky oo you don jakpa oo

I think you follow get scholarship for Cambridge university, check am naw"

Yh whateve... wait what, wetin you talk, are you serious, bia if this is a joke stop, it's not funny"

"Oga check your phone, mine is still pending Sha..."

I quickly cut the call and rushed to my email, my heart was beating so fast as I scrolled down, and then it was right there on the second row staring right at me.

Have you ever been in a moment where time stopped, cuz it literally did...

I got it, no scratch that, I got in... I am among the beneficiaries, guys my hands are literally shaking right now

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh........

Mummy, daddy, Ahhhhhhh.....

I got in... I got in, Jesus Christ....

I scrambled to get inside but was met by my parents who are already out in the balcony to know why I was shouting

" Mummy I got in, I won a scholarship in US to study in Cambridge university, mummy a full funded scholarship with travel expenses "

I say quickly trying to catch my breath, dad took my phone and read the congratulatory message,

I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at my family shocked but proud faces as they all stared at me, I stumbled back as my mom suddenly hugged while shouting songs of praise to God, I joined her, as I raised my voice praising the Almighty...

I looked up to see my dad just smiling and nodding, while my siblings are jumping and laughing in sheeer excitement.

I would literally do anything to make this moment last.

I stared at the messed up code in front of me, looking at me as if taunting me and daring me to decode and and solve this f****d up puzzle, I sighed and ran my hands through my blond hair, tugging at it in frustration... f**k what am I supposed to do now...

It wasn't the damn code that was the problem... I could easily hack into this website without even stressing my brains, this was infact an easy task for me, considering I've been doing this since I could operate an electronic gadget, so the actual problem is the repercussions that will come for my ass the moment I hack into this web, the last thing I wanted was a pack of wolves who probably think they are impenetrable, only to have a college boy hack into their account and mess with their files... Nope, this is not the kind of attention I wanted at the moment... Those crazy human beings had no limit, and are absolutely shameless with no...

"Yah!!... What are you still doing, I thought this wasn't going to take long,

Why, is their website actually that hard to break into.."

I stared at the doe eyed Korean girl as she stared at the codes like she's trying to find out what's so hard about this elementary stuff, that I couldn't finish so she will go home already,

I sighed, she's the reason am sitting here now with this mind-wrenching dilemma... Her nudes was taken and being used to blackmail her, the pictures was going to appear on the school magazine tomorrow if something is not done right now .

It's not like she's involved in any underground or shady business that needs blackmailing to get to her, she's just to much of a b***h to make actual friends except for me and Seb, she has too many enemies when I say enemies , I mean self made ones and she doesn't even give a flying f**k, Seb can handle her bitchynees, that mostly because he could care less of crazy behavior...

On the topic of Seb, the blue eyed American just stared blankly at the back of my laptop, looking bored out of his mind, only looking up when Na Bi raised her voice muttering curses in Korean language in frustration...

" Yeah Luca what's the problem, I don't actually think this should be a big deal for you, "

I sighed again

" It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I don't want some stupid gang on my ass, just because they think I might be a talent they looking for..."

" Ooh I don't think it should be a problem right?? I can just make a few calls, or my father and it will be resolved "

" It's not that easy, those crazy dogs are psychos, they can go to any length to achieve their aim"

I explained as a matter of factly,

" Aisssh bitchinseikel, this is all Jennie fault, I know she did this, am going to f*****g mess up her already ugly face if I get my hands on her"

Na Bi paced up and down in the room, I could literally see smokes puffing from her head as she tries to contain her temper..

Why was she so angry anyway, am the one dangling my sanity on the line to save her ass, annoyance was slowly irking at me

" Maybe you shouldn't have taken your nudes in the first place, what the hell did you need those f*****g ugly nudes for huh...??? "

I snapped at her

" Are you blaming me huh... It's not my fault that... Wait yah! did you just call my sexy pictures ugly huh..."

" Yep they were ugly as a duckling, you might as well..."

Seb interrupted our banter, as he stared at us like two teenagers he is forced to look after,

" Stop it, this is not the main issue here, Luca hack into that web and delete those pictures, to avoid it coming out in the internet tomorrow, we will deal with the consequences later, My dad literally owns half of the school, let's see what some dumb local gang will do"

I glared at Na Bi and turned back to my computer and started punching away on the keyboard, because I trusted Seb, the influence he has on this school cannot be over emphasized

In this campus world he is King, and what he says goes.
