Amanda has been avoiding me ever since the incidence, I tried apologising to her several times but she'd either walk faster or change route when we're about to meet. She don't longer sleep in the room and no one knows why or maybe we do but what can we do anyways??!.... phew* I give up apologising

It's my first day in class and I'm sitted at the front row next to the door, I've flashed my teeth several times but still got no attention so I'd just be solo. The professors briefly came to introduce themselves and the nature of our courses.... Oh please tell me all about it😓 I'm gonna love it here (sarcasm) the last lecturer left and I could never be grateful enough

"Hey you're the girl that beats kingkong right?" A girl around my age asked, like can people just start a conversation normally without talking about me beating Amanda?? *face palm*
"Uhm yeah?" I responded, waiting for her to ask me how I did it I've been hearing that for a week now can people please get over it.... Gosh!

"That served her right. My name is Linda" she stretched her big hand which enveloped mine, now where are those people calling me fat? -_-
"Maryam. The name is Maryam" I said with a smile with my hands still in her hands and it began to get awkward as we both hurriedly removed our hands and laughed at our action

We engaged in chats and made our way to the hostel, we were stopped midway by some boys...ohh please, when would they ever grow up?😔 I only gave them the silent treatment while Linda was been friendly. They're actually very good looking as a matter of fact, very handsome but I'd pass. After their chats they finally said that a friend of theirs had admired Linda but he had something to attend to and had told them to talk to her, she was blushing all through and they exchanged numbers

Linda and I stay at the same block, I am lucky to have a friend. We chatted and she pleaded that I should follow her to see John, the guy from earlier that had sent his friends to talk to her. His call displayed on her screen, talking about the devil....scoffs* she left it at hand's free after sliding
"Hello baby" he greeted, "baby?" I whispered confused and Linda shrugged
"Hi dear" she responded and they talked and talked till I had to leave for my room

Linda came to my room and pleaded that I should come along to meet John which I declined but after several pleas I lured in. She was dressed in a blue gown with her face painted a bit and I just wore the drape gown I had worn to class, we were out in no time and she made a call telling him where we were and how we were dressed, he told her that he had seen her and he was coming

"Oh my God! How do I look?" She asked "For the hundredth time Linda, you look beautiful" I replied "I hope he likes me" she said curiously "Girl bye! If he doesn't like you, he wouldn't had asked for your contact in the first place and besides you don't even know who this guy is" I said and she smiled

"Hello" a bass voice greeted tapping Linda's shoulder from behind, Linda smiled to me and wiggled her eyebrow signalling he was behind us, I rolled my eyes
"Hii, I've been.." Linda responded and paused, I decided to look at him and to God be the glory, monkey's brother is in town, he flashed his scattered teeth at us and I awkwardly waved, Linda kept a straight face and was emotionless. The atmosphere suddenly became tensed and I introduced myself to make it less awkward, we engaged in small talks and Linda kept quiet all through

"Maryam, let's go" she said dragging my arm
"Where are you going?" He asked "Umm I dunno maybe to the zoo" she replied sarcastically "I'd like to come along" he said "Yes please, make it easier by taking the lead obviously you know the way around there" she said "And what is that supposed to mean?" He asked a bit aggressive, she was about to respond but I nudged her stomach with my elbow "Don't mind her she's just not in a good mood" I said trying to convince him and he mouthed "Ohh" "So, maybe you'd hit her up later because we have a tutorial to attend" I said "Yeah sure" he shrugged and waved us bye as he turned his back on us, his hair looks way too silky and I'm afraid his white shirt would stain when his head comes in contact with the sun and the gel melts, that's a lot of effort to meet a lady but then again I don't see Linda's fault one bit, that boy is one of the ugliest I would see in a lifetime
