It was Monday morning. Rebecca was sleeping on forgetting completely about going to school. Her mother was transferred to University of Porthacort four years ago. She had been studying medicine and surgery for the past 3 years. it was a very special day, because it was the begging of a new session for her as a 400 level student. It was also a special day because her mother mother will assume office as the new vice chancellor of the universe.
"Wake up sleepy head, did you forget that you are taking Emmanuel to school today?" He mother said as she walked into her room. "Oh please mom, I slept very late last night," Rebecca said as she rolled over to the other side of the bed. It was very big bed enough to contain five people. Opposite to the bed was a dressing attached to a white drawing mirror. On the mirror were all sorts of makeup kit. Beside the mirror was a closet with all sorts of clothes and shoes. And on the floor was a very soft blue carpet.
Richard had just arrived at the university. He wrote the entrance exams into to the university three months and appeared with the best result among those that applied for computer engineering. He arrived at university looking so rough like he had been for the past five years. He was wearing one of the five pairs of oversized clothes he had been wearing for the past 3 years. He didn't care for a second about what other people will say about him. He vowed to himself that he will never be in any form of relationship with any girl.He arrived at his faculty which was a 12 storey building. Richard was so amazed by how beautiful the building was. It so much bigger than that of his former school. He kept the bag he was holding in his hand and proceeded with only the one he was carrying on his back to the entrance of his faculty. The front of the buildings was a complete glass and one can see what was happening within the building through it. "FACULTY OF ENGINEERING"
In the evening, Richard had already settled. He tried his best to fall asleep, but he couldn't. He kept thinking about Rebecca and the words she said to him. He regretted why he left school and his family. He wished he had endured all the criticism people laid on him back then about Janet's death. He thought about his sisters and niece and imagined how she might have grown up. He thought about Rebecca to the extend that it drove him crazy. He vowed to himself that he is going to be great again and make her regret how she treated him. He finally got up and came down from his bed."Are you going somewhere?" Achuba asked."Do you know anywhere around here where I can buy some new clothes?" Richard asked."There is mini market behind our hostel, you can get anything you want there," Achuba replied."Do you mind taking me there or you are busy right now?" Richard requested."No I don't mind," Achub
Richard became totally disorientated after seeing Rebecca. More than ever, he regretted why left. He remembered about the good times they used to have and how happy she used to be when she see him. But now, he is just a trash in her eyes. He became silent and couldn't think about anything but her.They boarded a taxi and were on their way to the university. Richard leaned his head against the car and was lost in his thought, while Achuba kept talking about happy he was to have finally talked to Tina. Thomas was the only person talking back."Hey Richard, what's the matter?" Achuba asked when he noticed his silence."Is nothing, I just feel like going mute for some minutes," Richard answered."So, how many girlfriends do you have?" Thomas asked."I have none," Richard replied."That's lie, do you expect us to believe this shallow lie?" They both laughed."For the past five years, I haven't been m
One week later, Richard and Thomas woke up early in the morning. It was the first they were supposed to have their first lectures in the university. It was also the day the new students will be having a welcoming ceremony by the school SUG. Thomas was super exited because he was experiencing it for the first time. He kept pressuring Richard to get ready on time so that they won't be late."Relax, it will come to a time where you will totally get tired of the lectures," Richard said."You are totally right," Achuba uttered with his eyes closed while laying on his bed."Hey, I thought you are sleeping," Richard exclaimed."We are also going to have a lecture by 8 am, but I feel like we will be skipping the class since this is the first," Achuba said."Do as you please man," Richard laughed.Richard took his bath and got dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and a brown trouser. He wore a black shore that perfectly match
Rebecca has been at home since morning. It was her birthday and was supposed to hold a party for it. The party was supposed to take place in a small garden in the garden of her house. She had been working since morning decorating the garden. She suddenly received a from Alice.Rebecca: Hey Alice, how are you doing?"Alice: I'm okay, it seems like you completely forgotten about us.Rebecca: I'm sorry for not calling all this while, I've been very busy that's whyAlice: Is okay, guess what?Rebecca: what?Alice: I and Amirah are at the gate of your university, we come for birthday.Rebecca: Oh Alice, please stop playing around, you know I won't fall for a small lie like this.Alice: we just wanted to surprise you, that's why we didn't tell you.Rebecca: oh my God, are you serious?Amira snatched the phone from Alice who was stand next to her.Amira: Would you get your
At about 5:00 pm, Richard informed Prof. Grace that he will be going."So soon? Is my place really boring?" She asked."No not at all," Richard responded."You know I have extra rooms in the guest quarter, would you like to move here?" Prof. Grace offered."I would like to move, but friends won't like that," Richard replied."Is okay, I hope you will come here every day," she said."But before you go, you should at least go and see Rebecca's party," she suggested."I don't like she will like it if I go there," Richard said."She won't dare," Prof. Grace replied.Richard really didn't want to go, but for the sake of Prof. Grace, he decided to give it a look. He walked out of the living room and slowly headed towards the crowd. As he got closer, everyone turned to look at him."Hey, isn't that Richard?" Amirah said excited."Of course is him,"
Richard woke up in the morning feeling like the previous night was a dream. He couldn't remember the last time he was feeling so happy like that. When he looked around the room, he noticed that almost everyone had gotten ready."So you are finally up," Thomas said."Yes I am," Richard replied as he stretched his arms."Achuba told me that you had a pleasant night," Thomas said."Indeed, it is one of the very best nights of my life," Richard replied."Really?" Thomas asked."Yes really, let me take a bath first, I will tell you when I come out," Richard said.As they were about to leave for their morning lectures, Richard received a message from Alice."Rebecca is not going to lectures, we'll be having some fun at home" the message said."I'm going to see Rebecca," Richard announced after reading the message."Really? What about the lectures?"
They arrived back some minutes later and found Alice and Amirah already asleep."Wake up sleepy heads," Rebecca said as she shook Alice and they both woke up."What took you so long?" Amirah asked."Hey, we were gone just for minutes," Rebecca replied."That's what you think, to us, you have been gone for centuries," Alice replied."Perhaps you had some fun without us," Amirah winked at her."Absolutely not," Rebecca quickly replied and Alice and Amirah laughed at her.They sat down and ate the pizza. As soon as they were done eating, Amirah received a call that there will be a verification at her place of work."What did they tell you?" Alice asked."I think we must leave now," Amirah replied."Why can't you leave tomorrow as we planned?" Amirah."I must go now, I will miss the verification exercise if I stay until tomorrow," Amirah replied.
