Season 1, Episode 5: Ugo Must Pay

The Morning After

Blessing barely slept that night. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt Ugo’s hands on her, heard his disgusting voice in her ears. By morning, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Ebere, Sandra, Kemi, Tolu, and Amaka sat around her, their faces serious.

"We have to report him," Michael said, standing near the door. He had stayed with them all night, making sure Blessing was okay.

Blessing hesitated. "If I report him, people will talk. They will say I asked for it because of how I dress."

Sandra slammed her hand on the table. "So? That boy nearly raped you, and you want to keep quiet?"

"But if we report him, what if he denies it?" Kemi asked. "We don’t have proof."

Michael adjusted his glasses. "We don’t need proof. If we all stand together, the school will take it seriously."

Ebere sighed. "I say we teach Ugo a lesson first."

The girls turned to her.

"How?" Amaka asked.

Ebere smiled darkly. "We set him up. Make sure he feels what he did."

Setting the Trap

That afternoon, Blessing sent Ugo a message:

"I want to see you. Come behind the library by 8 PM."

Ugo replied immediately. "I knew you would change your mind. See you there, baby."

Blessing clenched her fists. He was going to regret this.

Revenge Night

At exactly 8 PM, Ugo arrived at the dark corner behind the library, wearing a fake smile.

"Blessing, my baby," he said, licking his lips. "I knew you wanted me."

Before he could take another step, Michael and two other boys—Tunde and Femi—jumped out.

"Who be your baby?" Michael asked.

Ugo’s eyes widened. "W-Wait, what’s going on?"

Tolu stepped forward. "You like forcing girls, abi?"

Before Ugo could run, Sandra kicked him hard in the stomach.

"AHH!" Ugo fell to the ground.

"You think say you go touch our friend and go free?" Ebere hissed, stepping closer.

Femi grabbed Ugo’s phone and smashed it on the ground. "This one na warning."

Then, Michael bent down and whispered in Ugo’s ear, "If you try this nonsense again, we go make sure you never walk again."

Ugo nodded quickly, shaking in fear.

Blessing took a deep breath and stepped forward. She bent down, looked into Ugo’s eyes, and said, "If I ever see you near me again, I will destroy you."

Then she stood up, turned, and walked away.

Ugo lay on the ground, too afraid to move.

The fight was not over, but that night, Blessing finally felt free.

The Countdown to Matriculation

The excitement on campus was growing. In just two days, the university would hold its matriculation ceremony, officially welcoming the new students. Ebere, Blessing, Sandra, Kemi, Tolu, and Amaka were all preparing for the big day.

Ebere adjusted her bra, frowning at the mirror. "This my breast don add weight again," she muttered.

Sandra laughed. "Na you say you go eat two full plates of rice last night. Wetin you expect?"

Blessing, who was still recovering from the Ugo incident, forced a smile. "I just want that day to come so we can finally feel like real students."

Kemi grinned. "And show off our outfits! We must slay!"

Michael, who had become close to the girls after helping Blessing, shook his head. "Na only fashion una dey think about?"

Ebere smirked. "Michael, you go see madness that day. Just wait."

A Small Fight

Later that evening, the girls went to buy matching accessories for matric. While waiting in line at a shop, a girl named Jennifer pushed past them.

"Abeg shift," Jennifer said, rolling her eyes.

Sandra frowned. "Who be this one?"

Jennifer looked them up and down. "See as una fat like moin-moin. Matric go be fashion parade, and una go just disgrace una self."

Before Ebere could react, Blessing grabbed her arm. "No wahala. Make she go. She go see us that day."

The girls glared at Jennifer as she walked away, whispering with her friends.

"That girl don buy wahala," Ebere muttered.

A Strange Warning

That night, while scrolling through their phones, Blessing got a message from an unknown number.

"Watch your back. Ugo no go forget what una do."

Blessing’s heart pounded. She showed the message to the girls.

"This boy still wan try us?" Amaka hissed.

Michael, who was in the room helping them with classwork, read the message and sighed. "We need to be careful. Ugo no be person wey go give up easily."

"But we no go fear," Sandra said firmly. "If he try anything, na him go regret am."

The room fell silent. Outside, the wind howled, and the campus seemed eerily quiet.

Matric was in two days.

Would it be a day of celebration? Or disaster?
