"Fadekemi, how come you're having an Igbo surname?" The woman asked before adjusting her cat-eyed glasses again, and Fadekemi rolled her eyes. She hated how all of these Nigerian universities clerks acted like assistant Jesus. Despite coming quite early, she had to queue under the hot sun for hours before she finally got a chance to go in after daddy called a friend of his.

The woman handed her a pass before directing her to the next office. Fade sighed again for the umpteenth time, and she wondered why the woman wouldn't just clear her at once so she could finally search for her hall and room.

"Nwokiorah Fadekemi," The woman shouted, and Fade hurriedly entered before she tossed her file aside to call another person. She curtsied to greet the woman who flashed her a wide grin. It seems like someone is in a good mood today.

"How come you have an Igbo surname ehn? Shey, you can speak Yoruba like this. All these Yoruba women and marrying rich Igbo men, would leave their oduduwa brothers and go for one fair Igbo boy that is selling spare parts in Onitsha. I know your mama go like money. Anyways, take. You are in Virtue hall, good luck, and welcome to Crownsfield. They don't play here oh." The woman ended her short speech by handing Fade her hall pass. She didn't know who gave the woman all the intel for all the rubbish she just spewed but Fade could care less. Fade almost went down in praise and she left the office in hurry. Daddy was waiting for her at the car park, parents weren't allowed in the signing office and She needed to hurry so he can help her drop her things in the hall.

Walking out of the office, she bumped into someone. She picked up her scattered files and she stood up to give the person a piece of her mind. Why would he bump into her and still act like he was a Yaba-Left patient. Before she could finish picking up her file content, he already walked into the office she just left. She decided she was going to wait for him to come outside, since they didn't train him from home, she will help them out. Daddy won't notice she got to him late.

Soon he was coming out of the office and he was on a call. "Yo bruh, I got assigned to knight hall. Who the eff names a hall Knight? I mean that's the only thing a whole board of administrator could come up with? That's sad brooo" He lamented and Fade almost laughed. She didn't know which was funnier, his complaints or his accent.

Fade waited for him to pass her before she dragged his file from him and she flinged it. He ended the call abruptly before turning to look at her. Fade smirked and he was confused as hell.

"Yooo, why would you do that babe? Now look at my effing documents are scattered around the whole place?" He sighed before running his hands through his hair in frustration.

"That's what you get for messing with me. When you were going in, you scattered my effing documents too around without an apology. I had to bend my effing back to pick it up" Fade replied making sure to imitate him whenever she pronounced his effing like him.

"Hol'up. You pulled my documents away because I bumped into you mistakenly. Oh no, I didn't scatter your documents intentionally. I wouldn't do that to you or anyone." He replied before picking up his documents and Fade felt bad so she joined him to pick it up too.
