Mellon

Chapter 5.

From a restaurant Mellon asked me to look for Ivan and let him know that she's to talk to him, I wasn't sure about what she wanted to talk to him about, and I never bothered  to ask, i looked for Ivan everywhere around the campus like any obedient dog  seeking for something to eat  but I couldn't see him,  with that I decided to have a rest from a computer room .

After reading a few articles and do some designs on a computer , i decided to leave the room since it was getting boring and more  boring , looked for  Ivan again before I could get on my way  home .

I came to think the earth has just swallowed this guy , still he was no where to be found , then  I thought of his favorite place on this compound and that was the first floor of the newly built storage building , these were  going to be new university classes , on reaching there and to my surprise, there was Mellon .

"Oh with that look, you haven't seen Ivan already ?" She asked.

"Yeah,  seems the thickness of the earth swallowed him."

"Forget it,  its not even important I had to tell him."

"Alright , but hey , what the hell are you doing here ,could it be that you're thinking of someone ?"I asked .

"No, not at all ."

"But it looks like something must have brought you here alone and am sure its not Ivan."

"Nothing."

"And why are you scratching that ?" looked  at her nail polish .

"I dont need it anymore, have you seen Micheal?"

"Micheal?" I got a little shocked .

Micheal was a brown looking Tanzanian guy , always quiet  , fun loving and a classmate who always surprised us with his course work , sometimes great , sometimes sacking .

"Haven't you seen him coming up?" still wondering why she's now seeking for Micheal's presence .

"Forget it ."

" It's like I have to forget everything you say !!"

"You know I can be dramatic sometimes."

"I know."

I guess we'd been two for like 30 minutes on this last floor and this felt like my only chance to tell Mellon how I really felt but it really became harder right after  she brought up that Micheal thing .

There was a moment of 2 minutes of silence since I didn't know what next to say ,i tried and tried but I ended up saying the  same things , asking the same questions , could have been pretty stupid right there though she looked like she was waiting for me to say something ,something really special .

She gave up waiting for those words out of my mouth, came up with something that she was going to see Jamilah to give her her room keys .

Maybe she was going to do that
but was she really gong to do that ?
