CHAPTER TWO

“Mehn this lecture hall is so crowded, plus we have to sit down at the back now, the front seat is full already” I exclaimed looking at the crowded hall in front of me with students muttering loudly, obviously there was no teacher in class.

“Abeg, madam if not because it’s your first day in class, I wouldn’t follow you here” Ayomide said practically to the extreme left hand of the hand where the rascal and so-called bigger guys were sitting down.

When we got a seat there, I was in the sitting next to Ayomide and close to one dark slim guy that wouldn’t stop looking at me, he silently mention hello and I smiled back in response. He probably thought I was into him and started a conversation

“So are you like new around here because I haven’t seen you around” He said

“Uhmm, like you know everyone doing pds” I rolled my eyes

“You got me there” he laughed “well I just guess you are new because I haven’t seen Ayo with you”

“Well, I’m new here, just came in last week Friday, it’s my first class” I said wondering if I’ve not said too much already

He smiled “nice meeting you, Am Matthew Cve aspirant and You”

“Oreoluwa Esm” I replied

The period after break was horrible, one slim physics female teacher came in and was just standing on the stage with her small voice not helping because I couldn’t hear a thing that she was saying, to worsen the case the back benchers I was sitting with were just making noise and trying to engage me in the discussion. Next was I guess was a popular mathematics teacher which wasn’t so different because I couldn’t still make out what he were saying. Sha finally break time came and I was walking with Ayomide, two other guys, Temitope came to join us when we were walking towards the shop side and lastly Matthew which I later learnt was in the hostel too.

“Omo, who is this fine girl now, I never see am before” One loud but attractive guy said staring at me and asking Ayomide

And I slightly rolled my eyes, all these pds boys be acting like they know the entire female students around here.

Ayomide laughed “na my roommates, she just resumed last week” then she turn to me “This is Damilola and Dami this is Kwara-based Oreoluwa”

I shoot an annoyed glance, does she really have to tell the guy where I stay? and smiled at the guy and shook his hands that he brought out as he gave a slightly funny bow.

“so aint you buying anything” Matthew asked looking at the me after Damilola has gone

F*ck there is the intense way the guy have been staring at me like………

“nah, I don’t feel like buying anything” I replied

He raised up his brow at me and turn to the seller collecting the stuff he paid for “really, look I can get something and…..’

I cut in “nooo, am serious , Am okay”

“nawa oo for this pds people ooo, how I will resume school one week ago and exactly one week later I’mwriting 1st semester test” I said to Ayomide and Gbemisola l(one of my block mates….mehn that girl chew chewing gum for Africa, she came for the pds programme since last year) as we walk to the hostel after Thursday which I had to beg them to go.
