IN LOVE WITH AMADIOHA

Chapter one

I jerk up startled.
I just had the weirdest of dreams.
I turn around and make out figures in the dark.
Amaka and Sophia, my roommates and best friends, are in the room.
I heave a sigh of relief.

I make an effort to return to my bed, and notice the bathroom door open.
I head towards it close it and take a curious peek into the darkness.
I see nothing that stirs my senses.

"Thank God, Chineke dalu", I say and feel at ease.

I turn and head for my bed. Sophia would not condone it if I failed to wake her early, and I needed to rest.
I glance at my bed side alarm clock.

"3:00am", it read.

I had just two and a half hours to sleep, and I would not waste it.
I had to get back to sleep, but I couldn't no matter how hard I tried.
I reached for the handle of my bedside drawer and take out sleeping pills.
I pop it open and swallow two, replace the cover, and start counting numbers.
Almost immediately, I feel myself drifting into sleep.

************†****†***************†****

A sudden, excruciating pain on my legs wakes me.
I wake up to see an angry Sophia glaring at me, with balled fists.
I quickly catch wind of what must have happened.
I reach for my alarm clock and peek into it.

"9:30am".

I swallow hard and wish quietly that the time would rewind.
I still feel drowsy, but sophia's angry stare forces me to sit up.

"I'm sorry Sophie, I also overslept", I apologize.

But Sophia would have none of it.
She jumps on me and starts, rather playfully, hitting my pillow, and my shoulder.
I laugh out loudly, and proceed to make muffled sounds.
I later burst out screaming and begging, pleading with Sophia to spare my life.
She gets off me, and we struggle to catch our breath.
Amaka bursts into the room and sees us laughing and panting.

"You girls did not even wait for me to join the joke, gbo? ", she asks in mock annoyance.

The three of us launch a new bout of laughter.

"Girls, I've got gist", Amaka declares.

Both I and Sophia ask her to hit us with whatever she has.

"A new transfer student has joined us", "a really handsome dude ohh".

Sophia sits up eager to hear the news, and I just turn around and set out to complete my critical reasoning note.

"He's even got eyes that are a perfect blend of grey and blue".

I turn.

In the depths of my soul, I wish I have heard Amaka wrong.
That she had not just said that this guy shared the same features with Mr handsome.
I walk gingerly to the bathroom and deep down I've got a bad feeling about this.
