Without wasting much time, let the games begin...
It was my first week in school and i was already late for class, my first lecture of the week. To be honest am a light sleeper and I usually wake up early, always. Turns out Susan and i were actually meant to be, because after I was done with my registration we discovered we were in the same department and also roommates. The next day was our first day in the university and that night, Susan kept on blabbering her mouth about all the fun things we could do on campus. I wasn't really interested and just wished I could seal her mouth shut because i just couldn't sleep under the circumstances. At about 3AM midnight, I finally heard the sound of victory (Susan was asleep, snoring). She had a shiny chocolate skin, which was covered by a black top and a cute brown leather skirt. From the way I perceived her i could tell she was from a rich home, unlike me... Poor me who had a palm-tree climber for a father. Am I feeling jealous? (Boma shakes her head in a vigorous manner to bring her senses back to real world), I still love and appreciate my father nonetheless (as sleep gradually shakes her off the edge of the moon till 8Am).
Susan and i hurriedly took our baths and headed straight for the bus stop (no time to eat). Our class was starting by 8AM and we were still at the bus stop, what a way to start the semester. It seemed as though we had missed the first bus and another was going to take at least 15 minutes to come. I was still trying to take in the sweet scent of the cold morning breeze when a Toyota car pulled up and the passengers seat winded down. In the car was a fine young man, probably in his early 20's and he.... Let's take a quick rewind (I knew you were expecting a fine young dude to be in the car Lolz, so let's try this again).
I was still trying to take in the sweet scent of the cold morning breeze when a Toyota car pulled up and the passengers seat winded down. It was an older man, seemed like he was in his late 50's. He was wearing a suit and his wrist watch was eloquent (yea i love wristwatches), his car smelled like sweet from where we stood. He called out to us and asked where we were headed, i replied saying "lecture 8 block". He told us he was headed that way too and offered to give us a lift. We immediately jumped inside with excitement as we were already running late. I sat in the front seat while Susan entered the back. As we were going, he introduced himself simply as Femi, while Susan and i reciprocated. He told how he had just changed jobs and he hoped we would love to hangout with him sometime. I pretended like I did not hear him when suddenly Susan answered yes, still I was forming deaf ears. We finally got to the block and he stopped and collected Susan's mobile number, while I jumped out of the car and headed straight for my lecture room. She was soon behind me as she ran to meet up. She was still telling me how the man was more interested in me when we entered the lecture room and discoverd our lecturer had not yet arrived. Soon a man walks into the room wearing a suit and yes it was Mr. Femi....(pause, so you think you are good at foretelling my story? Let's take another quick rewind).
We finally got to the block and he stopped and collected Susan's mobile number, while I jumped out of the car and headed straight for my lecture room. She was soon behind me as she ran to meet up. We finally came to the lecture room while the lecturer made jests of us while the whole class bantered before allowing us in, warning us he won't be so lenient next time. When Susan and i were done for the day, we were about leaving the block when a skinny looking but well dressed guy approached us. He stopped us and introduced himself as Yes. (I mean, what kind of a name is Yes and how did it sound in his ears when he was pronouncing it. Some people just deserve to be ignored). Boma!, Susan called out...what are you thinking of she inquired? I was about to say nothing when mister Yes, (Lolz I mean I can't pronounce the name without laughing), cut me and answered Susan that maybe i was already falling in love with him. (OK? But not to be rude, this guy is not even close to the kind of dudes I would normally notice, not to mention fall in love Hahahaha he really needs some spiritual cleansing). I gave a fake laugh and told Susan were were late for our appointment (of course we had nowhere to go but home, but just to get away from this clown). Susan immediately tells him we have to leave when he suddenly asked me for my number, i replied and told him that he is not my type. He seemed surprised that i had rejected his request and asked if we knew who he was? We choruses no and i began to walk away while Susan struggled to catch up from behind. We had not gone far when he yelled out "we go see now! in pidgin English (meaning we definitely would cross paths again). Later that evening, some of Susan's friends came by the house and she jisted them of the events that transpired between mister Yes and I. They immediately Chorus "so na you?" (meaning am I really the one?). I responded asking them that the one as in?, then they narrated their own story that they heard had happened on the lecture 8 block, that a girl disregarded one of the members of the strongest cult on campus and he had promised to come for her head. Susan and i immediately shouted JESUS!!!. That night Susan and i could not sleep, because of the threat mister Yes had made, we have heard stories of how these cult members kill each other and other innocent people. If we heard any movements be it a lizard, we would immediately pick weapons Lolz. Susan would grab the knife while i was in control of a big plank. (Lolz you would think the Spartans had nothing on us).
