Chapter Seven: His Identity.

" Arrgh!". Sasha screamed. He was so shocked to have seen Bless's body heal completely, and opened his eyes.

" Keep shut!. We are just as surprised as you are, so no big deal". Ozo reprimanded him. Nengi stood there stunned and speechless, trying to process what she just saw.

Bless opened his eyes and the first sight he was meet was Ozo, he thought it was hallucinating, so he blinked his eyes severally, but discovered that it was not a dream, rather it was real. He stood up to see and also the mysterious girl that saved his life.

Panic gripped him as soon as he remembered what she told him of.

" Y- you are-- a - a magician"!. He exclaimed .

Ozo glanced at Nengi whom shrugged her shoulders, as she approached him.

" Yes, I'm a magician, and so are you". She said crossing her arms.

Bless was shocked as he kept shaking his head vehemently, trying to make sense of what she said.

" No... No I'm not a sorcerer!. I have nothing to do with witchcraft trust me! I swear!". He tried to defend himself but it was in vain. Nengi wasn't ready to buy into any story.

" Why don't you look at yourself carefully, you just got beaten by Sam and his friends and your injuries got mysteriously healed , right before our very eyes, and you claim that you are not a witch?. To me that is someone trying to run away from his identity". Nengi explained.

Bless was more confused than ever Nengi was accusing him of what he knew nothing about. But then, where was Sam and his friends?. He touched his face and noticed that he felt nothing, he also glanced at his wrist and legs, touching his stomach, but didn't feel an ounce of pain. He became alarmed. Trying to wrap his head to get what what was happening, made him feel dizzy.

Realizing his innocence, Ozo decided to intervene and clear up things, besides they needed to head back to class.

" That's enough now, I don't think he has the slightest idea of what he did, there is no need to blame him of anything trust me, we better head back to class, I'm not in the mood of these relacosta of hide and seek. As it is Sam and his friends are already in the school's clinic, and let's not add more trouble for ourselves." Ozo finalized.

Nengi wasn't ready to leave yet, she saw his whole body heal within seconds and yet, he's denying it?. Never. She must get to the bottom of it.

" But..". Nengi protested.

" No buts Nengi!. Let's leave, and you stay the hell away from trouble!". He dragged Nengi away with Sasha following behind speechless, leaving Bless utterly confused and in thoughts.

" Let me go Ozo!. Stop!.".

" No you stop!. Stop this nonsense now!. What were you trying to do huh?. Look, even if he has any kind of powers, that should make us stay the fuck away from him, to me, that guy is bad news, trust me"!. Ozo held her shoulders trying to make her see reasons with him .

" No! But you wanted to take the punishment for him, and you are telling me he is bad news?". Nengi said almost in tears.

" Why are you being unreasonable here?. That boy isn't worth us, just stay the hell away from him, that's all".

Sasha knew that Nengi was not the one to accept such kind of news ... He came over to her and made her cry on his shoulders, stroking her hair.

Ozo couldn't understand why Nengi had to shed tears over such a trial matter, he wondered if she was starting to develop a soft spot for him .

" Ozo, let's leave this conversation for another time, Nengi is not in a good mood to talk about this, please understand". Sasha pleaded with a surprising soft tone softer than usual. Well, he had to, after all he was doing so for his best friend.

Ozo couldn't say more and the three of them headed back to their class, fortunately for them, the geography teacher had not yet arrived.

His feet was heavy like lead,as he managed to drag himself back to his class. Although the rest of the day, Nengi 's gaze was all on Bless the whole time. She just couldn't stop staring, and Ozo noticed but didn't want to say anything else.

Meanwhile, the whole school wondered who might have beaten up Sam so badly, that he was rushed to the school's clinic. His father quickly came over wondering what might have happened that warranted such, and an impromptu assembly was held to address such.

" Who ever that might have been responsible for such a thing must be brought to book. I personally, will make sure if it, so if you are the perpetrator, you better do your self good by admitting to your crimes." Mr Fredrick Ejiofor spoke.

Although, everyone was surprised as to whom might have done that to Sam,but were so grateful as to whom would have taken the chance to beat the hell out of him. At least, for the meantime no more bullies, it was a breathe of fresh air.
