"'I'm So tired Esther,just know that love is fake"Lara said making her bed to sleep .just then,Esther interrupts
" so how did you move on?was it easy?"
Lara said "it wasn't easy at all .Trying to forget someone who was like the biggest part Of your life .someone I spoke to daily,someone I told everything to .we couldn't go a day without chatting."
"I had to cry myself to sleep,and convince myself that it was bound to happen .I lost appetite, and I became anti social .Really letting go is not as easy as people portray it .in fact I can't trust anyone ever again.
They make it look like its easy to let go,but trust me,it isn't .you'll have to leave your comfort zone.
" I'm off to sleep Esy"Lara switched off the table lamp and disappeared under the blanket;finally getting a good sleep after a really long day.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"the alarm clock rang,waking them up from slumber. Lara is yawning, while tapping the clock to stop ringing
She gets up from her bed,and still very dizzy,taps Esther and Patience,her other roommate to wake up .Patience gets up immediately, but Esther raised her head,then goes back to sleep .Lara carries herself to have a bath,and in ten minutes she is able to juggle everything And is ready for class
Esther on the other hand is trying to dress up quickly in order to meet Lara.
By 8:00am they both left the hostel, in order to get to class early for lectures .students are seen walking in groups,some are walking slowly,while others are in a haste .cars are driving to and fro to different destinations.
Lara and Esther walk briskly, while chit chatting about the happenings in school .They talk about lecturers,then students, and different behaviours.
Just then,a guy starts whistling at them,but they refused turning .walking as fast as they could,they tried to get to class,but they were brought to an abrupt halt when someone jumped in front of them .They were both scared. It was Kas ,a notorious cultist in school .mere looking at him would send cold shivers down one's spine. He looked haggard,and smelt of alcohol .his Voice sounded deep as a result of much intake of alcohol.
He threatened to beat them,if they as much as moved an inch .Now they were stuck between lectures and their life.
Kas was armed with a very small piece of broken bottle, so it was impossible not to follow his orders.............................
"Good gracious" they said,and heaved a sigh of relief,when some men came and bundled him out of the way.
They got to class late,and as a result, they had to stay outside till the lecture was over .what bad way to start the day>>>>>>>>
The rest of the day went on well,at least they didn't have to race back to the hostel for fear of being stabbed or beaten.
