Love And Hate

Chapter 3

Joanne's POV

Alexander and I have been getting to know each other better and I am beginning to love the school.

Alexander has been able to take me to so many beautiful places in the city. I must admit Argentina isn't as bad as I thought it would be. 

For the first time in a weekend I was in my room just reading a book I got from the school library. I decided to get a book on contract law from the library and it's pretty much interesting, I was taking some tea as I read the big book in front of me.

I heard my room door opening but I wasn't interested in knowing who got in, I was so drawn to my book that I guess I didn't care much. It feels like someone was talking to me as well but It could be me hearing things, I mean since my stay in Argentina the only person I do talk and have a conversation with is Alexandra. Once I am in my room I either call Alberta or I listen to music. My strange roommate comes in when I'm fast asleep and goes out before I wake up. The only way I know she is alive is the dirty clothes that disappears and appears in her laundry basket.

"Hello" I heard someone's voice again and this time the person gave me a fright by touching me.

"Jeez, what the F..." before I could complete my words I came in contact with a beautiful young lady. She was brown skin, 5'4 tall and she had a body like a the number 8, she could really pass as Nicki Minaj younger sister.

"Sorry, if I scared you. I have been talking to you for almost 1min now but I guess you didn't hear me or something. I'm so sorry" she said smiling

"Don't bother. Who are you?" I said still confuse who she was.

Stretching her right hand for a hand shake whilst she smiled "I am Jessica by name but my Friends call me Jes. I am your roommate" she was still smiling at me

I was till trying to understand what she was saying. Finally understanding her words "oh! Yeah!! My roommate who I never get to see for weeks now" I said

"You might want to tell me your name and return my handshake or something" she responded still smiling. Now I'm wondering why she's such a smiler. Like is that her thing or she's only been polite .

"Oh sorry about that, my name is Joanne but you can call me Joan' I smiled back at her as I stretched out my hands and we shook hands.

After the little introduction, she returned to her bed and sat .

"I'm sorry I have not been available, I came her 2months ago, I have had difficulty settling here. I have lectures as early as 6:30 sometimes and if not lectures then I'm meeting up with some of my course mates for some group discussions before we head up to lectures. I'm so lucky today we have a free day as one of my group member had the flu. I have really wanted to meet you and before I get back, you are fast as sleep and it will be rude for me to wake you up. " She explained without taking a moment to breath out or in.

"That's ok" I cut her short and she finally breath in and out. Smiling back at her " I'm just happy we are finally meeting today. At least I have a confirmation you aren't a ghost". I laughed and she laughed harder than me . "So are you from the US? " I asked her.

"No, actually I am from Africa, Nigeria precisely" she said smiling. "What about you?"

"I'm from Germany" I responded to her question. "So what course are you studying?" I asked her again

"I'm studying Criminology. And I guess you are studying law, due to the books I see on your reading desk"  she said in one breath again.

"Yes I am" then I became puzzled as to why someone will travel So far to Argentina to read a course like Criminology. " So why criminology?" I asked her again.

As we speak and ask ourselves questions, I get to know who is she and I get to discover she is a sweet soul, she won a national competition in her country amongst thousands of  people. She was then sent to study here in Argentina on 100% scholarship We clicked almost immediately.

I have found a new friend in my mysterious roommate.
