Ps: This book will be written in two parts that is the past and present, so that you all can understand it.

                        Past

Being a sophomore student can be very stressful sometimes. I really wish I could drop out. That is the extent to which I was frustrated. But kidding anyways, no one pray to drop out of a medical school.

Tons of assignments,no lecture free day coupled with the fact that the weekends are also occupied. It can be so frustrating. To all medical students out there,don't worry the Lord is your strength.

"Tara can you explain Phospholipid to the class" My BCH lecturer Mrs Jayesinmi asked.

God I couldn't believe I zoned out of BCH class of all class.

As I slowly stood up, I heard her voice again "we are waiting for you miss"

"Ma, Phospholipid is...is....is," I can't believe I was stuttering in the presence of this woman

"Can anyone help her?" she asked again.

Slowly a guy stood up which I later found out was a carry-over student

"Am Eric by name. Phospholipid are esters of fatty acids with glycerol containing an esterified phosphoric acid and a nitrogen base. They are present in large amounts in nerve tissue, brain, liver, kidney, pancreas and heart." He answered

OMG! Wow, that voice was super cute, so angelic, and cool. I slowly lifted my head which I had bent due to shame to look at the guy that answered the question but unfortunately he had already left the class because the period had ended.

"What sort of friend am I." I asked myself as I thought about my best friend Cassandra, Cas for short.

She is very beautiful, a definition of the melanin goddess. We clicked at a friend's party during my fresh man year in the uni. How we met will be a story for another day.

My bestie went on a date yesterday and I haven't called her.

The ringing of my phone brought me out of my thoughts. She is the one calling.

(Phone rings:XOXO❤❤) talk of the devil


"Babe watssup" Cas said

"I dey o." I replied her

"You no go work ni?" she asked me

"I dey off duty jawe...sorry I couldn't call you since yesterday; how was your date?" I asked her

"God mehn, the date was so fantastic, the guy was so cool and acted gentlemanly." she replied

"Awwn....Awwnn.. I go love o," I cooed

"Abeg free me jare, he has not even asked me out." she said jokingly

"Continue saying that o, don't you know he already has feelings for you," I said more like a question

"Abeg I don hear you o... But Tara don't you think is high time you give a man another chance in your heart." she said with seriousness

"Hmmm... Babes but you know he asked me to wait for him," I said

"I know, but is five years already, you need to move on my sister." She said finally

"OK o, have heard you (Door bell rings)... I need to go now, someone is at the door " I told her

"Okay love, later babe,"

"Bye B."

(Opens the door)
"Mom!.. How are you doing ma?" I asked her

"Oko mi(my dearest), how are you doing?" Mum asked

"Mom am fine....But where are you coming from all dressed up like this?" I asked her

"Am coming from my friend's daughter wedding ceremony, " she said

"Oh ok, which of your friends again this time?" I asked her because she is party freak

"You will know her, Mrs Cokers," Mom said

"Oh the same Mrs Cokers that her husband works in AIT abi?" I asked again

"Yes my daughter...the wedding was so interesting ęhn...all the men of timbre and calibre was there. I swear, the wedding scream money." She said finally

"Mum what did you expect...how is Daddy?" I asked her

"He is fine my baby. But Omotara don't you think is high time you bring a man home, you are not getting any younger," she said with a tone of seriousness

"Here we go again." I thought to myself

"I will mum, very soon. What did you want me to prepare for you?" I asked trying to end the subject of discussion

"Anything you cook will do my baby." she said

As I walked to the kitchen, I couldn't help but smile at what my mom said earlier the other time..... All this Nigerian mothers sef.

I looked at the necklace on my neck with the heart shaped pendant, and smiled sadly.... I didn't know when I blurted out

"Hey Idiot when will you come back"
