"All these white fowls drag your lazy feets over here and line up for registration immediately",
I raised my head up while struggling with my box of clothes to see a Soldier shouting at other intending corp members.
We could barely cross the gate before we started hearing start running from where ever you are .
Every soldier was shouting and i never found it funny. I who was initially excited about going to NYSC camp was already tired and frustrated with severe headache.
I just regretted going against my parents by insisting i must serve in the northern part of Nigeria. Inshort i dont even know why i choose Nas state of all states.
Still in my deep thoughts of regret and struggling to be on the line as other intending corp members, as i saw someone covered from head to toe, with just her eyes and hands exposed. From my distance i could see she is a definition of beauty because she was quiet tall and slim like a model. Even though i could not see her face i could tell she must be really beautiful because some others in front of me started murmuring about her beautiful appearance and emphasizing she must really come from a wealthy background as soldiers respected her and never shouted at her as she walked passed us, slightly looking at me and removing her eyes immediately as our eyes met.
I shamelessly stared at her as she disappeared out of my sight to her supposed hostel. I dont even know while am drawn to such a person. I am so straight and i have a boyfriend back at home. But my sudden attraction to this strange looking intending corp member could me shocked. Please dont get me wrong, i am from the eastern region of Nigeria and i am not used to such appearance. I hated this strange feeling i have developed for this girl.
Finally, after all the boring registration process i was assigned to a hostel D. I went in and started unpacking and arranging my things, wondering how these 21 days will fly immediately for me to leave this helly place.
'Hiii Cutie one, my name is Teni, what is your name?'
"Oh me" i looked up towards the excited person that just introduced herself.
'Yes na, its obvious you are my new bunk mate so am trying to know you because you seemed like a good person and you are really pretty too' replied Teni.
Nice to meet you Teni, my name is Kasiemobim but you can call me Kasie or Obim if my name is hard for you to pronounce. I was actually wondering whom am going to be sharing the bunk with because i saw the bed has been made already.
'Teni hurry up, we need to go to the Mami market now to buy what we need and shape this giant uniform that was given to us without caring our body sizes'. One of Teni's friends called out standing at the door while others were already going out.
'Am coming Candi, please allow me to get to know my new bunker jo, any ways Kasie bye bye. Please hurry up and visit the Mamu too to get things you need before the soldiers start to chase everyone to the parade ground and lecture hall, remember to lock your important things like money because criminals can be here too ', Teni said as she ran out to meet her friends.
I was left alone so i started arranging my bags and wondering what else i need since i came with almost everything including buckets. So i decided to climb to my bed which is the upper bunk to rest a little. As i led my head on the hard pillow which the camp had provided for each bed, i got a very beautiful eyes staring at me from a distance lying down too. My heart started beating so fast as i immediately remembered this is the same girl i saw some hours ago but now she is wearing white shorts and a top with her head, hands and legs well covered. However i could see her face because she let her face show, i guess because this is an all girls hostel.

I dont know what it is but as our eyes met, i was in a different world instantly, just the both of us, nobody existing but us. I suddenly had this strong desire to get close to her as our eyes locked. She did not make effort to move and i too lost in such beauty, grabbed my heart from exploding as i struggled to maintain my guess. She must be a Fulani because she is so beautiful with pointer nose.
Suddenly there was a sound of a trumpet which was well known as the biggle which finally made everyone rushing out as female soldiers came shouting leave this hostel you white fowls.
As everyone started rushing out, i just noticed the unknown beauty never moved and the soldiers never went close to her corner. She must be some important person's daughter then i thought as i ran out with others.

I dont understand this feeling i am developing. This should be the second time am seeing this girl yet my heart kept racing. I have never locked eyes with anyone all my life not even with my husband-to-be (Az ) and my heart has never beaten when he looks at me, how come my heart is beating so fast as my eyes met this new girl. Oh the Almighty be merciful to me. Heal me from this sudden ill feeling and desire. I cant have such a feeling with a girl and looking at her she is from the eastern region and non-muslim too. What type of haram am i commiting now. I told Baba i cant come to this NYSC camping but Baba just want to always be a good example. I just hope i will never have to see this girl within these 21 days or Baba will accept to let me come back home instead of staying here because i cant control my emotions not the way our eyes locked like we are soul mates. Oh this is a complete Haram. Az should be my soul mate not this stranger. Now Am really scared of looking at her while she is just a few distance away from my bed. I will have to change my sleeping position to avoid this crazy temptation of meeting her eyes again.
