Early in the morning, the following day we all wake up as usual.
I woke up and turned the alarm off and got my clothes out for school.
Titilayo inculcates in me the habit of praying after waking up.
We all did our morning prayer.
And we got prepared for school.
Then I went to go take a shower.
I put lotion on my body and then I put my clothes on.
The next thing I did was I walk to the kitchen and fixed something to eat.
I fixed some cereal, when I got done eating the cereal.
I packed my books and I heard Ada’s voice from outside calling my name.
What took you so long, Ada said.
Am sorry, I was looking for my perfume.
And you know that the lecturer that will lecture us this morning doesn’t take nonsense.
The woman is strict.
If you could remember vividly the last time some sets of students came late to class, she didn’t allow them to come in.
It’s okay Ada you talk too much.
Let’s take our leave, I said.
It was Mrs Sandra that wanted to teach us.
We walked in and got somewhere to sit.
None of the student like attending her class because her lecture is boring and her lessons consist of reading from the textbooks without any explanation.
Students like myself can read a textbook in the comfort of my home.
Mrs Sandra has never re-summarized lessons read in the textbook.
When a student asks questions he usually embarrasses or answers them sarcastically.
The sarcasm he uses isn’t in a funny tone, it’s said in a rude manner.
Mrs Sandra constantly leaves the lecture unattended.
I could say she is the laziest type of lecturer I have ever come across.
During lecture period, I looked back and i saw a lot of my classmates already yawning, some are even far asleep.
After the lecture, Olamide walked up to me in the classroom.
I wanted to discuss something with you.
If you don’t mind “Would you like to grab a drink at the nearby joint?” He said.
I agreed and we headed to the nearby joint.
On getting there, he asked me to sit down and he sat close to me.
What would you like to drink?
Or do you care for alcohol.
He said.
I don’t like drinking alcohol.
You can just get me Eva wine, it is regarded as 100% alcohol free red grape, fruit juice.
I will also take the same, he said.
Then he headed to the bar and got it.
Then he carefully poured the wine into my glass and poured it for himself too.
Then we both sip it.
We sat close to each other.
There was silence for a few minutes.
Then he broke the silence.
Am sorry for taking your time, he said.
Then I smiled, it’s fine.
“I think it’s time we take our friendship to the next level.
I just want to express my feelings to you.
You’re the only girl I want.
I love you from the depth of my heart.
“You will make me the happiest person in the world if you say yes to being my girlfriend.
Will you please be my girlfriend?”
Then she smiled again.
“And in her smile I see something more beautiful than the stars.”
Her love is driving me crazy, I muttered within myself.
What do you think?
Or should I give you some time to think about it?
There is nothing to think about.
With the little time I have got to know you, you are the kind of guy every lady will dream of.
You are nice, caring and you have all other attribute a girl will want in a man
I love you too, I said.
I will be your girlfriend.
I can see how happy he is.
He held my hand and said he promised not to leave me.
Wait, I have wanted to ask you a question since all this while, but I do forget.
Why are you still living in the hostel?
Afterall your parents are rich and can get you a big apartment or should I get one for you, if you don’t mind, I can afford it.
Or maybe you are the one that decides to be staying in the hostel, he said.
Oh, about that.
Should I tell him to get it for me, no I can’t say that.
He might suspect me, I think within myself.
Then I came to a conclusion.
Have already called my dad on the phone concerning it, because I’m already tired of living in the hostel.
He said he is going to send me money very soon, to get my own apartment.
You don’t have to be bothered about that.
Not quite long, one of his friends called his phone saying that the next lecturer had arrived.
We quickly rushed the remaining wine and both walked together and headed to the classroom.

The following Saturday morning.
Everyone packed their dirty clothes to wash as I also packed mine inside a big nylon.
Then I called the dry cleaner on the phone to come and get them and wash them.
But before I did that, I check my loan app account maybe i can still borrow money because I only have #500 left with me.
I have already planned to use the money to eat at the nearby canteen.
Then I checked my loan app and I saw a message that had been sent, I clicked on it and it read thus.
One days left to pay your loan, remember that each day has its own interests, failure to pay the loan as at due date, will lead to high interest.
Thanks for banking with us.
Oh my God, what is wrong with these people?
It wasn’t long after I borrowed money.
And they have started sending their useless messages.
How much did I borrow?
Just #10,000 and they won’t let me rest.
What led me to this app.
I yelled.
I checked my account if I can still borrow #5000 but unfortunately they didn’t loan me, they asked me to pay the previous one.
And my boyfriend promised to send me money, I tried calling his number but his phone was switched off.
Oh Sh|t, what am I going to do now and all my clothes are dirty.
How will it sound, that I am washing clothes by myself?
Something spoke to me, checked your bank account, then I went ahead and checked my account balance on my mobile app.
Wow, someone has sent me #5000
Who could it be?
I asked myself.
Then I checked the sender, it was my junior brother.
I forgot that I called him on the phone yesterday, that he should help me sell my Cocoa that is at home and send the money to me.
What a good timing
This money saved me from embarrassment.
Within a few minutes the dry cleaner arrived and I gave it to him, and paid him, then he promised me that he would bring the clothes in the evening.
Everyone keeps staring at me in the girls hostel as if they haven’t seen someone washing clothes with a dry cleaner before.
Then I heard the voice of some stupid girl that are sitting close to each other.
One of them was wearing jeans that were too big and a gray t-shirt, she said.
Why won’t everyone stare at her, as big as this hostel.
She is the only one that gives clothes to the dry cleaner, she said.
The second girl replied.
Don’t mind that girl, she is too arrogant.
Am just wondering that in this bad economy, someone can still not wash clothes by herself rather than give to the dry cleaner.
I can’t blame her.
Afterall her parents are rich.
Third girl blurted in.
You better mind your business.
If she hears everything you are saying you are dead.
You know her parents are rich and there is nothing the rich can’t do.
After they finish there silly discussion
So, I cleared my throat as they all do as if they are not gossiping about me.
Then they all take their leave.
Then I asked my roommate what is happening here.
Everyone kept silent, except for one person, Ada.
That girl cannot change.
Debby, just leave them, they haven’t seen the daughter of a rich man before.
As everyone burst into laughter.
Then I got a call, it was an unknown number.
Then i picked the call.
Lo and behold it was Olamide.
Good morning dear, how are you doing?
Am fine I said.
I know you might have call my phone.
Someone stole my phone this morning and we are still trying our best to find the culprit.
This is how it happens
I went to the nearby cafeteria to get some tea along with refreshments to charge myself before I go home.
I was standing at the cafeteria’s main gate when someone pushed me.
Probably, it was by mistake or intentionally, God knows.
The guy apologized to me and went from my way.
I stood up and went inside the cafeteria.
I ordered my tea and was paying for it while I saw my two friends coming along my way.
I was worried to show their angry faces.
They came closer and uttered in a taunting way that who needs a phone if you cannot even pick up the call.
I in numb state was staring at them while my other friend inquired why your phone is going off.
We called you multiple times.
I immediately opened the bag to find my phone but sadly I couldn’t.
I searched my pocket there’s nothing there.
Just in 5 minutes, I was confirmed that my phone has been lost or stolen.
There are so many important things inside that phone, contact, information, my important notes.
My friends after getting aware of the situation got a bit worried.
We’ve searched everywhere still yet we couldn’t find it.
I think I dropped it somewhere.
I borrowed my friend’s phone to make a call, I call it several times, it was rejected, and later it was turned off.
I even sent a text, begging the person who pick it to return it to me, the text was delivered, but no reply.
This my new sim, you can save my contact. He said.
Oh sorry about that.
I believe you’ll find it I said.
You don’t need to bother yourself, have already lodge complaint at the nearby police station.
Are you less busy today
If you don’t mind, I want to take you out on a date.
Okay no problem, am not doing anything.
Wow, you mean it.
Yes, of course.
Okay, I will message you on WhatsApp, then you will send your address to me, I will come and pick you up.
I love you.
I love you too, I replied.
Then he hung up.
I sent the address to him and I was so happy that at least he’s going to give me some cash.
Then I headed to the bathroom and took my bath.
After taking my bath, I headed to the room and wore one of my best outfits.
Not long after my roommates came in.
They were done with the dirty clothes they were washing.
They all appreciated that the dress suits me so nicely.
Where Are you going, that you dressed like this Ada asked.
Guess what am going on a date with Olamide and he said he is coming to pick me with his car i replied.
Wow, you’ve caught a big fish, Zainab teased.
What is wrong with this rich people, they won’t go for poor people like us instead they will be looking for rich people like them
Am I not beautiful enough with my big Brë@št and figure eight, what else could a man need in a woman that i doesn’t have Ada blurt in.
Ada stop this your stupid attitude, instead of you to be happy for her said Titilayo
Am not even after the guy money, my parents are rich enough to cater for my needs I said.
Don’t mind her Debby.
She is jealous.
Her boyfriend his a business man and he his trying his best.
Boyfriend my feet, very soon am going to break up with that guy.
What has he done for me.
Ada, why are you so ungrateful
If you could remember, it is this same guy that paid your school fees, Deborah said.
What’s so special about that?
He paid my school fees and so what.
Did he buy me a car, not even a room self contain.
Am here sleeping in a hostel.
What has he done for me?
Look here Debby, don’t let me transfer my aggression on you.
I know you can’t know how I feel because your parents are rich and you don’t know any sufferings.
Just recently you said your Dad promised to get you a new apartment and a car.
So, do you want me to die poor?
It’s okay please let’s end the discussion Ngozi said.
Not long after the discussion we heard a knock on the door.
I thought that it was my imagination, but then the sound became louder and louder.
So Ngozi got up and went to open the door to see who was there.
Good afternoon ma
Afternoon sir, please how may I help you?
Please am looking for a girl named Deborah
Am I in the right place?
Before she could reply him, I walked towards the door and asked him to come in.
Immediately he entered the room.
Ada, stood up and headed to where he was standing and give him a hug.
I didn’t say anything because I don’t want to create a scene.
But have started having hatred for that girl.
You already knew he was my boyfriend.
How could you do that, I grumbled silently.
I asked him to sit on the chair in the room as I went to get my bag.
Then we walked out and I entered his car.
Then we zoom off.
To be continue……………….☑️☑️☑️
