As I got closer to the hostel the rain had subsided already. it was very noisy and crowded with people trooping in and out and chattering like birds. The faces of some people looking excited as they talked excitedly about only God knows what. And noise of sirene from ambulance also filled the air. As I entered the hostel gate people were standing and talking unusually and walked passed group of girls who were also talking and overheard them talking about two girls who slumped after being dropped by a flashy car. I hurriedly went into the room.Ashley got up from the bed, she was actually sitting beside boolu who was lying on the bed and got up to meet me as soon as she sighted me."Thank God you are back, how are you" she asked, she looked actually worried as it was written all over he face. You could tell she really cared about boolu even though they did fight most times"I am fine, what did you say is wrong with her? I asked looking at boolu lying helplessly on the bed, she did
After alighting from the bus as we got to the hospital gate the bus driver was about giving us the change because I bought for I and chioma giving him a one thousand naira note. He was supposed to give us two hundred naira but he gave us hundred saying he had no change.I was about leaving it for him but chioma insisted saying she knew the man he was fond of doing that. She said he always pretended not to have change to give passengers inorder to take all the money and vowed to collect it."I am not leaving that money for that man even if it's ten naira" she said hands akimbo."What's fifty naira that you want to embarrass me like this? I asked because I know it would cause a little scene, those bus drivers were something else."No it's not about the money o, he does that almost every day. Turning to the man she added 'oga please give us our change'."Young lady I tell you say I no get change, you wan make I kill myself" he said behaving like it was his right to owe people. Peopl
I woke up around minutes past nine in the night because chioma and I had planned on going on night class because of the upcoming exam. It was very easy for me to assimilate during night hours. Or in the early morning hour when everywhere was quiet and you could hear the sound of a pin drop. We usually go to night class to read all through the night especially when there was an upcoming exam or test.A call came into my phone and it was Daniel. I was very relieved to hear from him after calling him but wasn't able to reach him on phone. Y"Hey babe, what's up? He asked, I could hear his footstep, he was probably going somewhere.I'm not fine, I've been trying your line it's not going through, I miss you" I said sitting up on the bed."Hmm, I miss you too sweetheart my phone has been on, it's should be network issues then, wait a minute was it my Airtel number you called, you know my phone was stolen including the sim, and I have not retrieved the line" He said."Ohh that's true, it r
After we got to faculty of law we sat at the front row in one of the classes. Chioma put on her head phone immediately like she always she and set to read. She said it . easy for her to read and assimilate anytime she was listening to music. But for me it was a total different case, anytime I was listening to music I usually listen to the lyrics and translate the meaning In my head. And if peradventure I have a book I was reading I would not understand a thing in the book. There were a lot of people in the hall and it made the place warmer than outside and I didn't have to put on my sweater. I did my assignments first at before I was able to complete it, it was already one o'clock in the early morning. Many people in the hall were already sleeping, with thier mouths opened. Chioma was also sleeping, she had actually told me to wake her anytime I caught her sleeping and anytime I did she told me to wake her after ten minutes and anytime the time minutes was up she always added
I stood still as I watched the police take her away amidst her screams and kicking. I really felt for her but there was nothing I could do I just stood there looking as chioma was being carried away.Ashley stop beside me muttering what I didn't really hear, she kept on talking without producing any sound then suddenly I heared someone cock a gun and as I turned around I saw a man on black all over coming towards me pointing a gun at me. I was shivering and my legs were shaking but I couldn't move, it was as if my deets were glued to the ground.Just then he pulled the trigger and I woke up with a start realizing it was just a dream. I was sweating profusely and was really scared. The dream looked so real but when I woke up I was glad it was only a dream. I looked at chiomas corner and found her sleeping peacefully. I went on my knees and said a word of prayer, some of my dreams actually came to pass especially those that looked real and it scared me a times, I always did that whene
It was already a week to exam and everyone became more serious and were preparing diligently for the exam. We barely had time for gist and other stuffs. I sat on my bed going through the note I had made from my Acct 111 course. Boolu was hosting a birthday party tonight and I had a very important evening class to attend. She said it was her twentieth birthday party and wouldn't want any of her roommate out. Chioma had also insisted we turned up for even if we had any important thing to do. Earlier this afternoon, Ashley had a heated argument with boolu and Ashley had confessed that boolu's birthday had already passed and it was about four months ago That she didn't celebrate it then because she had no money. I had just been waking up from my afternoon siesta when I heard them and I pretended to be sleeping because I had the strength to separate anyone Incase they later get into a fight. Chioma could handle it. I later found out that what caused the argument was that Ashley's f
Daniel was already waiting for us outside the hostel. There were many cars packed in front of the hostel so it was kind of difficult to locate where he was. I thought he had actually booked an Uber but as we got there he was actually the one driving. He later told me he had gotten the car and wanted to surprise me. It was a beautiful black Benz.I was already dark and I could only see him well because of the street light. He was also dressed very smart in a Gucci designer wear."Hey babe" he said giving me a hug and kisses light kiss. Chioma just stood staring at us and she later whispered something into my ears about my boyfriend being damn cute.He and chioma also exchanged pleasantries aftet I introduced them and we got into the car. I say at the front sit fastening my sit belt and turning on a music.There was a little traffic on the road and we got there around seven thirty in the evening.As we got there boolu welcomed us warmly. She was also looking very beautiful in
Stepping on the dance floor, the Dj switched to my favourite hip hop music. I started twerking to the beat of the song the best way I could, swinging my hips. Almost all attention were now on me as I did so. It was probably the influence of the alcoholic that gave me such boldness as I have never done that before. Some group of people started cheering me and shouting on top of their voices.Some even later joined me in the dance and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I searched for Daniel with my eyes and found him watching me closely, blowing me a kiss when his eyes caught mine. I was really enjoying myself and it felt like I was floating in the clouds."Fine girl, wanna dance with me? A dark guy said as he came towards me, his height very intimidating. I noodded and he took my hands pulling me forward. I staggered and almost fell and he grabbed me with both hands."Are you sure you are okay? He asked steadying his grip on my hands. His nails dug into my skin and he was k
