11 Betty goes to see Zoddie

It's obvious that things with Zoddie hasn't actually cooled down .I shouldn't be relaxing at the moment and I should find a way to solve the problem once and for all.My mum has always told me to face all my problems squarely and fearlessly and that I should try and solve them before they destroy me.

The question is how do I solve this current problem ?

I've once asked few people who has been in the school for long whether it would be wise to report him to higher authorities but they all told me that all those people who did that didn't end up well.

Its really disheartening and appalling that a student just like everyone else exercises that much power and authority over others and nothing has been done about it .Does it mean that he is greater than everyone else in the school and even the lecturers?Or maybe he has bought all of them and they have no other option that to support his every move and action.

I've accessed many things and many opinions and none of them seemed wonderful enough to take action on.I think I have to stick to Mariana's advice and go look for Zoddie wherever he is and sort things out by asking for forgiveness. There must be something that would be done in order to appease him and make him forget everything that happened.He is a human being like everyone of us and he equally has a heart like everyone else.

Someone has to face him,someone has to speak up till he or she is heard,someone has to instigate others to speak up,someone has to end this stupid act of toxic power that other people possess in the campus .

I don't need to consult anyone else,I have to do this on my own,I said as i picked up my bag and left for Zoddie's house.Before hand,I've asked some of the people that usually talked about Zoddie and his cohorts where he lives and they gave me the address without any qualms .

I knew I could need it one day and I think the day has finally come.There is no going back and that is why I'm not informing anyone to avoid getting counter suggestions on my decision.

I'm already on my way to his house and even though I'm scared , I have no other choice than to face my fears.I can only conquer it by facing it and not by running away.These are the words that kept running through my mind and that kept me going.I've always tried to avoid having troubles with anyone but here i am walking right into the lions den.Maybe if situations were different ,maybe if I didn't come outside that particular night to have some good view ,I wouldn't have seen Zoddie and I wouldn't be in this kind of situation .

Hello please do you know anyone by name Zoddie Kings?I was told he lives around here and I would like to meet him but I don't know the particular route to follow.Can you help me?I asked one of the guys I saw around that place who looked like he didn't want to answer me.He looked at me like I was speaking in a language that he doesn't understand. He just turned his face and moved forward without saying a word to me.

Maybe he is not very okay .I said to myself as I moved forward in search of the place.

My phone started ringing and I think I know who It Is .Maybe Mariana is back and she didn't see me in the room.I told her I wasn't feeling fine and that I couldn't go to school .I removed my phone from my bag and I was right ,it was her.

Betty where are you?She asked just immediately I picked up the phone .Jason came back with me and he wants to see how you are doing.I saw him on my way to school and I had to tell him you were sick.

Oh my God Mariana ,don't mention any of this to him.I'm currently on my way to Zoddie's place if not there already.I've decided to end this once and for all before anything worse would happen to me or even you guys.I wouldn't forgive myself if anything bad happens to you guys because of me.

Betty you shouldn't have gone there without telling any of us.What if something had happened to you before I could get to know where you are?

Well your brother stopped at the stall nearby to buy something for you and I don't know what you want me to tell him when he gets back .

You don't have to tell him anything,just tell him to call me when he gets back .I'll know what to tell him and how to talk to him .

Just right at the time I dropped the phone,Jason stepped in with a pink nylon in his hand .

Where is my sister?

She's not around I answered. I came in here and I didn't see her,I think she stepped out a bit or maybe you should call her to know what's up.

I wonder why she left when she knows she's sick,Jason said as he dialled her number.

Countless times,she didn't pick up.

Oh my God what could be the reason?

Why isn't she picking up her phone ?Does it mean something has happened to her.Should I tell Jay her actual whereabouts?

Oh my God please keep Betty safe.i said as we continued to try her number but still,nothing positive came out of it .Jay picked his phone and made for the door immediately and I hurriedly followed him .

Where are you going ?I asked him as I ran to meet up with him but he was walking very briskly.

I don't know where I'm going ,I just know and feel everything is not alright with Betty .I just hope it's not what I'm thinking .

I've never been this confused in my life before.Could this be a false alarm?

Should I tell Jay what's really going on ?

God help me.
