Chapter one.
Chloe's POV
Feeling exhausted I stood up, placed my books in my black leather bag as I left the lecture room.
It's my third year in medical school and we are already in our second semester which makes more load piled on our heads.
As medical students aspiring to be doctors, there's a lot of reading to do to get us ready for our profession."Hey Best" Lisa acknowledged as she caught up with me and I returned it with a wide smile on my face.
"Hi Bestie"I replied as we walked towards our dorms. Lisa has been my best friend since yr 1, We met at the reception arena as freshman and we immediately clicked and became bff's.
She's studying law which really suits her character because she has never lost an argument since I knew her and she's a feminist so absolutely nobody messes with her."Catch you up later b" She said while she entered her room which was opposite to mine.
"Okay, I'm so fatigued right now so I'll probably take a nap" I shouted so she could hear me before I entered my room.
"Hey roomie"My roommate Grace uttered before going back to the novel she was reading.
"Hi Gracie" I spoke before I placed my books on my reading table and flopped on my bed drifting off to Dreamland.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wakey wakey sleepy head"Lisa screeched while tapping me with the aim of me waking up.
"Noooooo please go away" I groaned and snuggled deeply into my pillow.
"What the actual fuck Best" I screamed as I felt a sticky liquid streaming down my hair to my pillow.
I raised my head and saw a sly smirk on her face sipping the remaining content of the orange juice box she emptied on my hair while Gracie's giggles filled the room."Next time when I'm waking you up, you'll not let me go through the stress of wasting my juice box on you right" Lisa smirked giving me a towel to clean my face.
"I'm so getting back at you" I humphed angrily taking the towel from her and headed to the bathroom to wash up my face and hair but ended up taking a shower.
I left the bathroom in jeans and a tank top which I changed into after bathing and wrapped a towel on my hair.
I'm a black, rather half because my Dad's from New York while my Mum's from Nigeria so I inherited my mum's curly shiny black hair,her hazel eyes and her body structure while I took my Dad's nose and smile.
My skin color is caramel.A goofy smile appeared on my lips when I noticed the pizza and Coca-Cola Lisa ordered, like she knew it'll make me forget about her deed earlier which I already did.
"Please stop with the smile and start eating" she said taking a huge bite out of a slice.
I didn't need to be told twice, I took a slice and moaned out of pleasure. the delicious taste of the pizza doing wonders in my mouth, I took a sip of the Coca-Cola.
After eating we chatted about our studies,I told her about the heavy workload the lecturer's are putting on medical students while she told me about the different cases she's been handling though she enjoyed them it's also too much of a headache on her.
We moved over to our parents, I haven't spoken to mine lately.
I have a cute little chubby sister in sophomore but I know they're doing just fine while Lisa's family is made up of a single dad and her little brother. Though I know it's not easy for them to loose their mum. I can vividly recall during our second year, she got a call from her Dad breaking the news to her about the death of her Mum, it was the only day I saw a weak Lisa.
I consoled and cried with her. Mrs Clara Peterson was a wonderful woman, I could tell from the few times I spoke with her during our freshman year.
But God knows best and today their little family is still strong and healthy despite the rough times they're faced with.We discussed about random things and cute guys we saw in our various faculties. Unlike Lisa, I don't have a boyfriend because every guy I came across are not the perfect guy I want to fall in love with.
Yeah I went on dates but that was in my second year.
I don't have time for boy problems right now so I'm focusing on my sole aim which is having good grades and graduating out of college as a Doctor."Best" Lisa called and informed me she's heading over to her room to have a goodnight rest.
We hugged each other before she left to her room.
I stood up, went to my reading table and arranged my books and other stuffs that were on the table before moving over to my wardrobe.
I had an early morning class today so I quickly rushed in picking clothes for today which led to a messy wardrobe.
I arranged all the clothes, folded the ones that needed folding.
Moving on to my bed I removed my bedsheets and the pillow case placed them in the washing machine then redressed my bed.
Since I had my bath earlier I wasn't feeling sweaty, I sat on my reading chair feeling accomplished with the cleaning and arranging I had just done.My roommate probably went out since her bed is empty, I was about taking biology book to study before I felt the vibration of my phone.
I removed my previous ring tone of a song by little mix due to unwanted distractions."Hi Daddy" I squeaked as I answered the call. It's really been a while since I spoke to him, mum and Valerie.
"How are you doing my baby girl" He replied using the nickname he gave me since I was born.
"I'm fine Daddy, just exhausted with school work"I replied honestly.
"I understand baby girl, it's just three more years left and before you'll realize you're done with college."He spoke.
" I know but three years sounds like a whole decade"I whined.
"I know you can do it baby girl, I'm passing the phone to your mum and my second baby girl is asleep so you'll talk to her some other time" He said referring to Valerie who always argue about why she's called Daddy's second baby girl, stating she's his only baby girl since I'm all grown up.
"Girleo, my baby how are you doing?" Mum's gentle voice spoke.
"I'm good mummy, just stressed out due to school work but no worries I'll cope with it."I replied.
"Ohhhhh girleo I miss you so much, I understand school work can be so stressful but you're a Davis you'll overcome all the stress and issues of college my love" she replied still with a gentle voice. It's funny how this gentle voice can change easily within seconds into a bold strong one when she's pissed off or very angry.
"Okay Mama, I have to go now please greet Val for me and tell her I love her and we'll talk soon."I replied
"Alright baby, mummy loves you, Daddy went upstairs to check on something he said or rather you know he loves you. Take care my baby girl, we will talk soon." She said feeling emotional which I noticed with her tone. It's always like this when I want to end up the call.
"I love you too Mummy and Daddy, Bye." I replied and hung up the call. I really miss them I sighed and cleaned the moisture gathering around my eyes.
Few minutes have passed since the call with my parents, I got tired of reading the biology text.
Gracie hasn't come back, she'll probably be back at midnight or tommorow morning.
I stood up made sure the door was locked, changed into my PJ's which was an oversized hoodie and shorts before climbing on my bed and drifting off to Dreamland.How was the first chapter?
