Senior Jeremy have been good to Enenche. For the whole of first term, he took care of him like his own brother. No senior dare touch him. He became the envy of other students who were surprised by the love senior Jeremy have for Enenche. Enenche on the other hand became relaxed with senior Jeremy. He have Introduced senior Jeremy to his family as his school father.
Things began to change when the returned for second term. Senior Jeremy began to do somethings in front of Enenche, like going naked in front of him, bathing together, scrubbing Enenche's back among others.
It all happened one day when Senior Jeremy asked Enenche to stay back at the dormitory during the night prep. Enenche didn't suspect anything because he trust his school father and he has asked him to stay back some of the time. After everyone had gone, senior Jeremy came into the dormitory. His eyes were red and he was breathing like a beast. Enenche became worried, the person standing in front of him was not the kind and loving Senior Jeremy he know. Could it be that he is possessed or what? He was still thinking when Senior Jeremy drew him from where he was sitting. He furiously tore his clothes and began to touch him romantically. Enenche struggled to free himself but he received two heavy blows on his nose. He made a loud noise. Blood was coming out from his nose. Senior Jeremy covered his mouth so that he won't shout. That was how senior Jeremy raped Enenche. Senior Jeremy left him in the pool of his blood crying. He cried through out the night.
Enenche became sick and was taken home. Senior Jeremy have warned him not to tell anyone about what happened. Enenche isn't ready for the stigma of being called a rape victim, he was afraid of being called a Homosexual.
Ever since Enenche returned to school, he has become a shadow of his old self. He hardly talk, eat, laugh or even smile. His academic performance have dropped drastically due to what was passing through. He is always alone. He avoided Senior Jeremy as much as he could. When the second term examination results caume, Enenche performed poorly. His teachers were worried, it wasn't the Enenche they know last term. E
His brothers and sisters noticed a change in his behavior during the holidays and the told their father about it when all measure taken by his siblings to get him tell them what the problem is prove abortive. His father was also not able to get him talk. They have to let him be.
