Chapter 49: Disappointment

                         ***Disappointment***

It now appeared to me that even the mighty Merman of the school was scared of challenging me in the finals. He rather has the likes of Bright and others that he had comfortably defeated three times. They were still discussing the strategy when Sani and Ojo ran to them, they said to Bright.

"Come, we have something to tell you."

But Bright who felt he had found a new friend in Kunle told his friend to tell him whatever they had to say in the presence of Kunle, though Ojo tried to persuade Bright to excuse himself Kunle do he could hear what they had to say, but he insisted that if they must say anything, it should be before Kunle, so they had to break their silence in a chorus manner.

"You must not compete against that Demon o."

"And who is the demon?"

Kunle asked.

"Hahaha, that's what we call the new kid."

Bright responded.

"And as for you two, I'm so disappointed at you guys, so now you are trying to tell me that you have joined the people who think that the Albino demon can defeat me. Seriously I'm disappointed in you."

Bright added.

"Can you imagine, and you said they are your trusted friends?"

Kunle said mockingly.

"No Bright, this is not what you think, we just had an encounter with that evil boy, look at us now, see how dirty we look, that demon dealt with the both of us."

Sani said as he showed Bright his dirty body.

"Mercilessly, he dealt with him mercilessly."

Oko added now excluding himself.

"You two lazy zanies and harlequins went to fight that kid despite my warning against it. Now see how you have made a shame of yourself, so you two think that because you were too lazy that the little Albino devil beat you up, that he will also veto me In swimming? The both of you must be stupid."

Bright said as he expressed his utmost disappointment at his friends.

"No Bright, he is too fast, his eyes changed, even his face, Bright please that boy is demonic, please forfeit the competition."

Ojo said.

"God forbid! Now get out of this place."

Bright said looking very angry.

They were still there having their little confrontation when we were called to be ready for the swimming. Like I said earlier, we were the last to swim that day, and many people crowded to watch us compete.

Hastily I ran to the pool shower and changed up to the swimming suit. Now I was definitely scared, there was too much expectation on me, everyone was there to see me swim, the story of my past miraculous swim had traveled around the school so those who could not see me swim last time came to also see for themselves this time, but what if I fail? Can I be able to walk the school again? Will I still be loved as much as Im loved at the moment?
