Saul's POV
These two weeks went by fast, let me catch you up on them in a summary.....
On the first week, Esma assisted Hakeem and me on getting our documents ready, so we have been leaving the campus early everyday these couple of weeks much to my dislike cuz I missed the lectures.
Speaking of campus, it has been troubling to say the least....
Lets start with Hakeem, the next day after my phone ordeal Hakeem bugged me till I told him what happened, after I told him how my phone broke and that it wasn't Ibrahim's fault and that he gave me a lift home for feeling guilty, he didn't say anything but after that he has been clenching his jaw and glaring every time he sees Ibrahim more often than not recently since Ibrahim and I are together...... As FRIENDS of course... But other than that he has been his annoying self

Now onto Ibrahim..... Well first of all he is going with the rest of us to S.A, which is not usual since he wasn't there when we were given the news, but seeing he is the dean's pet I would assume we was given the news earlier than the rest of us normal students, not that am shocked or anything..... But that's not half the tea, the guy has been an angel to me, every day since that incident he always and I mean always searches for me when he is free so he can spend time with me, most of the time he finds me with Hakeem which I see it annoys him as hell, how do I know? Well Ibrahim's left eye twitches when he is annoyed and it twitches Everytime he sees me with Hakeem, when he does see Hakeem however he doesn't back down, he sits with me completely ignoring Hakeem and we talk only for a little while Hakeem pretends to be tapping away on his phone, he never stays long when Hakeem is present, but the few times he catches me alone we talk for more than an hour sometimes, once I nearly missed my class because of him but I freaking didn't mind hehe.... I learnt many things about Ibrahim like how he likes reading books plus he loves swimming and alot of things he even goes all the way to drive me home when I have late classes, isn't he adorbs.... The only thorn in that roseful life is his self absorbed girlfriend Tanya, a very beautiful, rich dumb girl who happens to be the daughter of the dean.....
So I guess you can guess how things go, although Tanya is dumb as a door knob she gets good grades and passes every exam with good marks but her dad is clever, he gives her good marks but not so much that she will be noticed so she stays with the intelligent students but not the best of them. So the good news is she won't be joining us to South Africa, can I get a hallelujah!!.

So that was it my two weeks..... Tomorrow is the trip and today is Saturday, so am in my room with Hakeem packing our luggages, Esma bought us some clothes... Well she bought me 3 speedos, i was reluctant to accept but she said
" Oh hush boy... U and I both now u need a man , and u aren't going to get one if u hide in these shabby clothes, besides it S.A , go and enjoy yourself before you come back to this shitty place"
So i took them but hid them very well in my bag where only I can take them out, not that I will....

"So do you know they already have our tickets, guess who am seating with" Hakeem said while folding his shirt
"Who?" I asked while doing the same with mine
"Lucy, ugh..." He said that last part with genuine dispair...
I snorted which made Hakeem glare at me, that made me burst out laughing....
" Am sorry, but why are you mad, i thought she was going to be your friend with benefits when in S.A?" I said while placing my folded clothes one by one in the luggage.
" Didn't I tell you that shawty is boring, plus I wanted to sit with you" he said pouting and I looked at him, damn my hormones...
" Am sure you will be fine, besides its only 6 hours till we reach there"
" I know, i guess you are right.... Hey do you know who you are sitting with?"
He asked, but he looked annoyed somehow, I looked at him, I hope its not somebody who is repulsive, I already hate people as it is already
"Ibrahim, am sure he planned it" he said to himself while folding his boxer
"Oh, okay" I said while my heart started hammering in my chest... I took Hakeem's empty luggage and started arranging his clothes neatly in it, he sat on the bed then looked at me...
"Speaking of Ibra, don't you think he abruptly started to get close to you out of the blue, now it seems like he wants to be all up in your biz" hs said clicking his tongue at the thought.... I rolled my eyes
"Oh don't start with this, he is just friendly, you are being pessimistic because you haven't got to know him, besides aren't you all up in my biz too?" I asked raising my brow, he is such a hypocrite.
" Yes I am but I have been doing that for a long time plus you live in my house so of course I will be up in your biz, I practically own you hehe..." He said casually, did he just... I didn't finish to arrange his clothes in the bag, I took the open luggage and threw it on the floor letting the clothes scatter....
Then I turned at him
" What?! U practically own who? How dare you?" I said crossing my arms on my chest
He sat upright wide eyed " oh my god am sorry Saul, I di..."
" You didn't what, mean it? I don't care Hakeem what I care is that those words came out of you.... If thats what you think I don't want to be here anymore, I don't like to be a slave or property of someone" then I stormed out of the room going down stairs, I was so pissed that i didn't look where I was going, I nearly crashed into Esma as she was coming inside the house from work...
"Ah! Boy are you blind? What the matter with you that you forgot you had eyes?" Esma asked...
" Am so sorry... " I said looking down, I wanted to leave past her but she grabbed my arm
" Sweety what did Hakeem do now, tears are welling up on your eyes"
"Its nothing" I said while fishing out my hanky from my pocket and wiping the tears, then I heard Hakeem's footsteps
"Am sorry Esma I have to go back to campus, I left my books there, and I can't leave without them" I said while slipping my arm off of her hand and rushing to the door
"But..."
"Saul..." I heard both hakeem and Esma calling out but I was already out the door speed walkin outside
