I lay on my bed, pressing my phone.
Suddenly I heard noise outside.

Then a knock.

I stared at Jack, he gave me a go-ahead look.
"Is probably them" he said.

"Who?"

"Theo and Joel"

My heart skipped. I hesitated before walking to the door and opening it for them.

They came in and one of them challenged immediately.

"Must we always knock before..." He paused and gave me a look?

"Who are you?"

"I'm Smith."

"To hell with your name. What are you doing here!" He thundered.

I shook like a leaf.

"I'm the new roommate"

"Whoever says I need a new roommate?" The other asked, he seems more aggressive than the first one.

"I...I don't know. I was assigned here by the school authority"

They both sneered at me.

Then, without saying any other thing, they walked to their bed.

I wonder what's next.

She survived it. Thank God.
I sat beside her in the hospital bed and asked her why she did it.

"I don't want to talk about it" she sobbed.

"Well, trying to kill yourself over a boy is an absurd thing to do. Not like he's special or anything." I said with a slight shrug.

"He isn't just a boy, he's special"

"But he don't love you"

"He do!" She argued

"Why then did he ended it up"

"He didn't ended it. I did"

"You?????" I scowled. "If you are the one who asked for a breakup, why then are you trying to Kill yourself?" I asked.

She said nothing.

"Seriously Theo, what you did was kinda *too rash*, you wouldn't have shot him". Joel said to Theo.

I shuddered.

"He deserves it. He's lucky I didn't shoot him in the skull"

"Oh..that would've been worst" Joel said with a laugh.
From what I picked from the conversation, it was said that Theo' younger brother was beaten by his teacher in school.
So Theo went to the school and shot the teacher on his leg.

"No one messes with any member of my family." Theo said.

"I wish you could just allow me to date Tonia." Joel mumbled.

Theo sprung from his bed.
"Look there's no friendship in this. I swear if you go near my sister, you'll have yourself to blame" Theo warned seriously.

I was dumbstruck.

This guy is indeed, Dangerous.

I need to be careful.
Verryyy Careful!!!!
....................................................

When I woke up the morning, Theo was already awake. He was loading bullet in his .38 revolver pistol.

"Good morning" I greeted.

He didn't reply.
I ignored him and knelt beside my bed and prayed my morning prayer.

After praying, I looked up to see Theo looking at me from his bed. He was still holding his pistol.

"Do you always pray every morning" I was surprised when he asked.

I shrugged "Not as often"

He nodded and said nothing else.
Jack was the next person who wake up, he mumbled a response to my greeting as he passed with his toothbrush.

I observed the way Theo looked at him as he passed.
Is obvious they never liked each other.

"Where are you from?" Theo asked suddenly.

"Uh..uhm Nigeria" I said.

"Where is Nigeria"

I wanted to answer but I was distracted by the ringtone of my phone.
I picked up my phone, it was Mama.

"Hello"
"Smith! How are you this morning. You never bothered calling me yesterday"

"I'm sorry, I was so busy" I replied.

"You're busy to the extent that you can't call your Mother"

"I'm sorry"

"Accepted.  So how's your room and your roommates? I hope they are good boys."

Good boys indeed.

"Give the phone to all of them, let me here there voices and know if they are good or bad?" Mama said.

I looked at Theo. He was still holding his gun while observing me.

"Mum, that's not possible"

"Why?"

"They are all sleeping" I blurted.

After I hung up, Theo asked, "Who was that?"

"My Mum. She wanted to speak with you guys" I said.

Theo lips turned in amusement. "Really, call her again. I will love to talk to her. I'll like to have a sugar mummy from Nigeria."

I frowned "My Mum can't be a sugar mummy"

His lips curled "Really? Do you know how many boys in your country who's probably sucking her p*ssy"  he said.

I clenched my fist.

"If ever I see your Mum, I'm gonna lay her and screw her till she moan my name".

I wanted to scream "Not all Mums are harlot like yours'" I blurted.

Theo eyes turned red.

He sprung up from his bed.

When I logged into facebook, the first picture I saw was the picture of me, holding a girl while running.

It was tagged, "Elizabeth Orwell and Her new boyfriend"

Oh my God!
Why are people just so foolish.

Later in the night, i received an anonymous message: "Meet me now at La Connoisseur bar"

I checked the time; 11:43pm.

"Who are you?" I texted back.

"Simon" came the reply.
"Elizabeth' Ex" he added.

I looked the time again.
"11:45pm."

Everyone was asleep.

I tiptoed out.
Just as I was close to the bar, my phone rang.

It was Smith calling.
