Victoria woke up the next day, thinking she was going to wake up to see Blessing next to her, but she was wrong. Victoria woke up and couldn’t find Blessing next to her or anywhere in their room which made her think maybe what happened last night was a dream she had.
Victoria couldn’t conclude if it was a dream or reality even though everything felt so real last night, but she thought to herself that she had to see Blessing in reality and asked him if last night was real, and also clear the distance between them to have him back.
Blessing continues his search for the unknown and strange girl as he carries her books wherever he goes. After searching for the unknown girl in the school and couldn’t find her, Blessing sat down alone in a corner of the school compound since it was a break as he thought of what he was going to do next to find the girl.
While Blessing was thinking of his next course of action to find the girl, Blessing then suddenly realized that he had also never set his eyes on the 4 girls who bullied the girl he was looking for ever since the day he saw them bullied the girl.
Blessing thought that it couldn't have been a coincidence that the unknown girl and the bullies suddenly seemed to have disappeared from school ever since the day he interfered and saved the unknown girl from the bullies. Blessing thought to himself that finding the 4 girls would bring him to the unknown girl since they knew her and could identify her better than him.
Blessing decided to find the 4 girls who bullied the unknown girl so they could take him to the girl they bullied or show him to her. Blessing's next plan is to find the 4 girls and find the unknown girl through them.
Blessing began his search in the school for the 4 girls, and it didn’t take a long time before he found the 4 girls. After searching places in the schools, Blessing found the 4 girls in the school dining hall having lunch with the other students who were present in the hall.
The four girls were seated alone as always, surrounding the small table their food was on as they ate, and at the same time, they were talking and smiling, which made Blessing smile upon seeing them.
Blessing walked to the 4 girls and upon getting to them, the 4 girls stopped eating, talking, and smiling immediately they saw Blessing, nor could they look at Blessing's face because they were afraid of him immediately they saw him. Blessing who remained smiling, sat down next to one of the girls, and then he asked them if they had been good after their last encounter.
The 4 girls did not answer Blessing and they tried to stand up, but Blessing threatened them that if they stood up he was going to tell everyone how ugly they were, and that they were bullies who bullied weak students in secret while they pretended to be good and innocent. Hearing that, the girls could not stand up because they did not want Blessing to tarnish their image or call them what he called them the last time they met.
The girls remain seated and ask what is it that Blessing wants from them, then Blessing tells them that he wants them to take him to wherever the girl is in the school. Hearing that made all the girls look at each other and then look at Blessing to see that he was serious. Then the 4th girl said to Blessing “how is it possible for us to know where she is when you who have been looking for her for a week haven’t even been able to find her in the school?”.
Blessing was surprised to hear that, so he asked the 4 girls “so you knew that I have been looking for the girl all this while but you said nothing even though you know the person I am looking for? You made me look like a fool”.
“No, it is not like that. The whole school knows that you have been looking for a strange girl because you feel entitled to return her books. How responsible of you” said the 2nd girl with a fake smile to Blessing.
“And you couldn’t think of helping me get the girl to me or bring me to her. You girls are really weird you know. And, how is it that I haven’t been able to see you in school all this while?” said Blessing to the girls.
“That is because we kept our distance from you. We avoid you as much as we can. You are also the weird who is looking for someone that doesn’t want to be found” said the 1st girl to Blessing.
Blessing was confused to hear that, so he asked the girls “what do you mean by she doesn’t want to be found?”.
“We don’t know anything about that. We don’t know where she is or who she is” said the 4th girl to Blessing.
“Don’t you lie to me, girls? I know you know her because the day I saw you girls bullying her is not the first time you have been bullying her. You have been picking on her for a while before I caught you girls with her so you know her. All I want from you girls is to take me to her and that is all” said Blessing calmly to the girls.
The girls hesitate to say anything to Blessing which Blessing noticed because he saw the way they were all looking at each other, and that made Blessing wonder what was going on. Blessing asked the girls “what is going on, girls? Don’t tell me what I don’t want to hear if you want us to have a deal not to reveal your secret”.
Even after Blessing was done talking, he noticed the way the girls were looking at each other like it was a crime if they told Blessing what was going on which is why they hesitated to speak, then Blessing said out loud to the girls “would you all please talk?”.
Blessing's voice was loud enough to make everyone in the dining hall look at them as they all wondered what was going on between the girls and Blessing, but then the girls had to smile at everyone, saying to them that everything was fine before they all faced what they are doing away from Blessing and the girls.
Then the 1st girl annoyed said to Blessing “what is wrong with you? Why do you have to shout?”.
Blessing wanted to answer the girls, but he was interrupted by the 3rd girl who said to the other girls “I think we should tell me the truth”.
“No. No way we are going to do that. We made a promise not to tell him anything” said the 2nd girl to the 3rd girl.
“He is not going to harm her nor is he a threat to her. He just wants to find her and give her books back to her” said 3rd girl to the other girls.
“No. We have done enough bad to her and the only thing to convince her that we are good is doing what she tells us to do. We should do what she has asked of us” said the 4th girl to the 3rd girl.
“And what about him? He knows of our bad deeds that we are bullies, and he is sure to expose us if we don’t give him what he wants. He has nothing to lose since everyone in school already knows him to be a crazy person who doesn’t gives a fuck about anyone. Everyone would also believe whatever comes from his mouth, he is a real threat to us. You all should think about this before you say no to him” said the 3rd girl to the girls.
Hearing this made the other 3 girls have second thoughts because the 3rd girl was right. However, Blessing who had been wondering what was going on amongst the girls as they talked to each other, said to the girls “why do I feel that there is something you girls are not telling me”.
Then the 3rd girl said to Blessing “Yeah. After the day you saved the girl from us, we wanted to make things right because we realized what we had been doing was not right and didn’t befit us since we can’t be known to be bullies. We went to everyone we had bullied to apologize and to get them to forgive us. We apologize to the girl, and she accepted our apology with a condition that we don’t tell you who she is and act like we don’t know anything about her”.
Blessing was surprised and confused to hear that which made him say “wow, this is surprising. I guess that is why you said I am looking for someone that doesn’t want to be found. It kind of feels a bit hurt. But, do you girls know why the girl doesn’t want me to meet her?”.
“We don’t know. We only do what she asks of us” said the 1st girl to Blessing.
Even after hearing that, Blessing still wants to meet the girl and return her books to her, and even get to know why the girl doesn’t want to meet him, then Blessing asks the 4 girls “I know she doesn’t seem to be in the school because I have look everywhere regardless of the fact of how big our school is. So where is she?”.
“Actually, she is in the school, and she always comes to school. We see her every day” said the 4th girl to Blessing.
Blessing was shocked to hear that because he wondered why he hadn’t been able to find her yet all this while, that he had been looking for her if she comes always to school.
Then the 2nd girl said to Blessing when they saw the surprise on his face “since you can’t identify her even if you see her, it was easy for her to always avoid you. She knows everything you have been doing to find her to give her back her books, but she doesn’t want to be found. She always makes herself insignificant in school so you could not have noticed her if others hardly notice her too which is why we picked on her”.
Hearing this, Blessing smirked and took some seconds to think before he said to the girls “okay, I hear you that she doesn’t want me to find her, but I want to find her so you are going to take me to her”.
Hearing that made the girls worried because they would be breaking a promise, then the 3rd girl said to Blessing “why don’t you just leave her, and let her be? She doesn’t want you to find her which means she doesn’t want the books back”.
“Which is the more reason I want her found. I know you will be breaking a promise if you take me to her, but she doesn’t have to know that it was you guys who brought me to her. You can point her to me and I will handle the rest. That is all. I want to see her. It is a must that I see her” said Blessing affirmatively to the girls.
Hearing that made the girls look at Blessing and they saw him looking like he was obsessed with finding and meeting the girl even though they wondered why. The girls had no choice but to take Blessing to the strange girl since he promised to keep their secret forever.
Blessing and the four girls get to the window of a classroom which was a class Blessing always attended as part of his course. So Blessing thinks that the strange girl couldn’t have been attending the same class of the same subject as him and he wouldn’t have noticed her, which made her say to the girls that they brought him to the wrong place.
However, the girls said no and that they knew the strange girl attended the same few classes as Blessing, but Blessing wouldn’t have noticed her since he is someone who doesn’t want to notice anyone too. The four girls pointed at a girl seated alone in the classroom and said to Blessing “that is her”.
