Ella Maria Idorenyin had already planned out how her life would be in the higher institution, which is the university. She actually thought she'd move in a triangular pattern, from her dorm, attend classes and then to the library and back to her dor...
Danielle was right when she said she had everything set up for me in my room. And that's why she's my favorite cousin ever because she knows exactly what I want and how I want it. Although i did bring some little things from home. After I was done setting up my bedroom ended up looking like this

And Dani of course had to be a little matchy like me so her bedroom ended up looking like this

It was a Sunday afternoon, Dani was sitting on my bed gisting me about how her first day at school was. Cause I'll be starting tomorrow, I was actually more excited than nervous. I spoke with my parents this morning so I wasn't feeling home sick. And I didn't even think of David.
Fuck I just did. I wonder why he hadn't called or texted again? At least the person who sent that threatening message didn't strike again so I was good. But David didn't come online and it's been 4 days now. Even though what he did was wrong and I want nothing more to do with him I still care about him .
"I'm telling you! I was lost girl I couldn't find my department, I swear that school is too big! And I really don't like asking for directions so I ended up walking in circles, I guess Jameel might have spotted me wandering about, girl he left his group of friends to come ask if I needed help!" She squealed and giggled falling back on my bed.
"Jameel?" I asked confused
"Yes! Tall, dark handsome as hell Jameel. Med lab ,300lv Jameel." She said dreamily
My eyes widened. "300Lv? What are you doing with a 300lv guy? They're too...." I paused looking for the right word to use.
Dani sat up and narrowed her eyes at me " too what ?"
" Mischievous." I answered. " What if he has another plan in his head for you? I mean like, what if his intentions are not pure?" I was worried for her. Jumping from one boy to another. Yesterday was Zion, now it's Jameel who knows who she'll fall in love with tomorrow?
" Save it Lala. This is the first time a fine guy is showing me attention and I love it. But you wouldn't understand after all you're dating an eye candy right from ss1." She retaliated in a bitter tone. Was Dani jealous of me? Was she jealous I was dating David? She'd only seen him once and let's just say it was a very awkward meeting for the three of us . "oh and not to mention how God didn't forget to bless you with a banging body. Unlike some of us who are struggling to differentiate between a billboard and our backside." Her tone filled with venom, she looked away from me but I could see how angry she was?
"Well if it makes you feel better David and I broke up!" I cried and all the stress of the week came crashing down. Tears began pouring from my eyes like an uncontrolled tap. I cried hard, I cried because nothing was fair! And here my cousin was busy getting angry at me because I was looking out for her?!
Danielle's face softened as she turned to look at me. "What?" She asked. "I'm not sure I heard what you just said." She repeated staring at me as if I'd grown two wings.
"I and David broke up." I replied, more tears blurring my vision. I hated the fact that the only way I could deal with my emotions was through tears.
She got up and came closer to me. " How? Why? When." The concern on her face made me relax at little. I guess it's time I opened up to somebody.
I sat down on the edge of my bed. "David invited me over to his house to watch a movie and just you know chill. Cause he said he wanted to spend every little moment with me before I left for school."
She listened attentively, nodding her head and urging me to continue.
"Well, as usual you know there was no way my Mom would let me leave the house so I had to cook up a lie. I told her that I was going to the library to return a book I borrowed because I've reached the deadline, she bought the lie but she wanted the driver to drop me off but I refused and luckily she agreed."
"Continue," Dani said, she moved closer to me and wiped the tears that were still falling. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry Lala," she apologized, I gave her a small smile and carried on with my story. " I actually did stop by at the library to borrow a book so it'll look like I did go there. David's parents weren't home when I got to his house. I guess he was in some kind of mood because when he saw me he literally picked me up and hugged me tightly. I was just laughing I was very happy to see him too. He told me we were going to make popcorn and watch any movie of my choice. I also noticed he was being a little bit too touchy, he had always been the touchy type but to an extent. But this time around when I wasn't facing him he'd hug me from behind and grab me or kiss my neck. Well I didn't think much about that cause obviously I thought he just missed me so much. Half way through the movie he'd put his arm around me and try to grab my boobs but I told him to stop cause I was getting uncomfortable. He did stop, but he was restless. He stood up and said he needed to get something upstairs and asked me to come with him . I trusted him so I didn't see it as big deal so i went up to his bedroom with him."
I sniffled, drying my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt. " You know I trusted him Dani? That's why I followed him up there. David has never done anything that'll make me think in that direction."
" that bloody son of a bitch! Don't tell me he?" Dani jumped down from the bed that startled me, her eyes widened, nostrils flared she looked like if she could fly to Port harcourt right now and murder David she would .
I shook my head slowly. " H-he nearly did. He wanted to force himself on me . David wanted to rape me." I forced the word out of my mouth , because I couldn't believe it myself, I couldn't believe he would think of ever hurting me talk more of doing that, I shuddered when I thought back on how he roughly grabbed my arm, I took in deep breaths to avoid myself another episode of tears. I don't know what to believe again.
"I'm so so so sorry Lala, I shouldn't have said that to you, I sounded like a bitch, I just got insecure. I'm sorry this happened to you. You know I'm proud of you for not giving in. You stood your ground and didn't crumble under pressure. I respect you for that." She said hugging me.
I smiled "Really?"
She nodded. "Duh! Well I'm glad he learnt his lesson next time he should use his head to think and not his divk. Now he lost such an awesome and beautiful girlfriend." She continued and I laughed.
I felt so much better that I opened up to her. I wanted to tell her about the message I received but decided against it. It's just a stupid prank he's playing. I won't fall for it.
" You know what will get your mind off of this whole fiasco?" Dani suggested trying to light up the mood she got up headed to my closet. I chuckled "picking out an outfit for tomorrow?"
"You know it girl. Trust me when I say you need to look good in school, the type of boys you'll see will take your mind of that asshole. Plus I need to look hot for my future boyfriend ." She answered rummaging through my clothes.
"Zion? Jameel? Kingsley? Pascal? Which one?" I teased. She threw a shirt at me and laughed "Ya crazy "
