This happened while I was still in High School, and for security reasons, I will conceal the identity of that my "Friend".
I attended a day school that wasn't too far from my house, so most of the times, I and some other friends walk home.
So, on this fateful day, the sun was so high that it could steam a pot water. It was just three of us strolling home. Myself, my neighbor whom we share a fence, and a senior schoolmate who was one class ahead of us.
This senior lives somewhat close to school, we would have to pass his house before getting to ours. Due to the scorching nature of the sun that day, we decided to branch and ease off before heading home.
His Dad owns the one storey building which they live in. The building houses his Dad's firm which was on the ground floor, and his family lives on the top floor. It was a very big house.
We followed him to his room, little did we know what was about to happen. This senior of ours is known to be wild and rough, sometimes he behaves like one who has "kdjdbajs" issues. �
I and my other friend were in his room gisting, when he entered his Dad's room, and came out with the shock of our life! A loaded pistol! Omg! What was going on? (His Dad is a licensed gun owner who owns two pistols and a pump action**Bad ass Dad**).
At first it felt like a dream, but the hard reality hit us when he ordered us to kneel down, and put our hands up. At this juncture we were melting in fear, but we needed to man-up. I faked a smile, and with a cracked voice I stuttered -
"Guy, abeg stop this play na"
Immediately, he barked at me like a furious Dog. I could see his eyes changing to that of an angry lion and his face looking fierce as though a Demon just possessed him. He then yelled at me to shut the f*ck up, and never utter a word, while he opened the gun to show us the bullets well loaded in the cartridge, with his finger well positioned at the trigger.
Aside the workers who were busy on the ground floor, we were the only ones up. And he told us
"I go shoot both of you, lock up your corpse for that wardrobe, for night I go dump una somewhere "
Inwardly I was already dead. I thought about -
My parents. My dreams. Would anyone ever know what happened to us? O! My siblings. Lord, don't let me die a virgin.
He ordered us to pull our shoes, we did as commanded, he ordered us to close our eyes, we shouted "Yes Sir" without hesitation. Then came this order that broke the camel's back.
He ordered us to enter the ward robe. My other friend immediately entered and was sleeping there already, and at the same time sobbing. I joined him, then he was about shutting the door when I pushed it, he threaten to shoot if I don't stop, but at this juncture, I was ready to die by that gun than suffocate and die slowly in there.
When he noticed I wasn't giving up, he then released us. Asked us to pack our shoes in our hands and disappear from his room.
With the speed of light, and glory to God. I and my friend packed our belongings and ran as fast as we could home. We didn't share the story with anyone, in fact, we didn't speak to each other.
When I got home, I couldn't believe what just happened, I told my parents everything and they knew him so well. They kept their cool.
Two hours later, to the amazement of everyone, this semi-killer showed up in my house like nothing ever happened. He was looking for me and the other guy. I went to him and ask him why he has to do that, he smirked and waved it off.
The next day in school, I shared the stories with some of my friends. They laughed and told me he once did same to some other guys before. We didn't report to the school authority though.
For almost a year, I avoided his house. But didn't totally avoid him because we still met in school, and I noticed he was just a naughty boy. Although, that was a risky play I don't ever wanna be part of again. What if he had mistakenly pulled the trigger?
After about two years, I resumed going to his house, but never alone though. We always go in group.
