MALE’S HOSTEL(Nath and Ken’s room)
Time checked- 6:00pm
:
Nath could be seen busy changing from one
cloth to another. He looked like a teenager
who was confused on what to do.
“Guy,” he called out to Ken who lay on the
bed staring at him in amazement. “Is this
one okay for me to put on,” he asked
holding out a deep blue coloured chinos
trouser with a white polo.
“Yes it looks good but you still haven’t told
me where you’re dressing up to coz the
Nath I know never goes out at night except
to get some sort of fresh air,” Ken said and
sat up.
“Wow!, that was a long answer,” Nath
exclaimed and started putting on the cloths.
“Anyways, I’m going to visit my dream girl,”
Nath said and arranged himself.
Ken’s eyes bulged out in astonishment,
“Gold!”
“Yes, Gold, any problem?” Nath asked as he
walked to the storage cart beside the
bedside stool and took out the powder
container.
Ken sighed, “So you even want to apply
powder on your face too, this is serious o,”
Ken replied instead.
Nath smiled, “My guy,see ehn according to
the girls, looking good is good business, so I
gotta look good for my love.”
“Love nwantiti, ah go love o,” Ken giggled
and added seriously, “Now I realise what it
means to fall inlove, I’m sorry I tried forcing
you to consider Joy,” he apologised and
stood up.
Nath smiled, moved closer to him and they
hugged. “It’s alright, we’re cool,” he patted
his back and released him.
“Thanks man,” Ken smiled, then walked
round the room with his fingers locked
together. “This new semester is gonna be
great coz I will stop seeing many girls and
have one girlfriend which I’ll probably get
married to, remember next year we’ll hit the
big boyz level, final year, and we got limited
time,” he stopped and faced him. “How do
you see that?”
“Wow!, impressive!, very impressive,” Nath
laughed and shook hands with him happily.
“But never forget you’re here to study,” he
added.
” I hear, Oya come de go, so you won’t be
late, I’ll be going to Jeffrey’s room.”
“Yes,” Nath turned and picked up his phone
from the bedside stool, then he noticed he
had a new message because the phone light
was still blinking. He unlocked the phone
and read through the message, then smiled
broadly.
“What’s that?” Ken asked moving to stand
beside him.
“Dad sent me twenty five thousand…” Nath
screamed stressing the thousand.
“Oh my! That’s great, no more bread and
sardine, oboy! Correct soup go come jhare,”
Ken jumped excitedly.
“Yes that’s right but better prepare to start
cooking henceforth, coz I have someone I’ll
now be visiting,” Nath winked at him, and
walked to the door.
“No problem, prepare to stop eating too,”
Ken said making Nath stop and look back at
him.
“You no fit try am,” Nath laughed, went out
and closed the door.
“Lover boy,” Ken smiled and also started
preparing to go out too…

FEMALE’S HOSTEL(Gold and Queen’s room)
:
Gold could be seen preparing to go out. She
already had her trouser put on.
“Girl, where to? Remember Nath will be here
anytime soon,” Queen said as she sat on the
mattress with a plate of food in her hands.
“I don’t want to see him,” Gold shouted
angrily.
“Nawa o, so is that the reason why you even
refused to eat, c’mon girl, this isn’t right,”
Queen said looking worried as she stood up
and went to stand beside her.
“Please let me be,” Gold pleaded calmly and
wore her top.
“No!” Queen retorted. “Just the beginning of
a new semester and you’re behaving this
way, remember lectures never start o,” she
said and held her ear, shaking it in an
advisable manner.
“I don’t care!, I love Jeffrey and I’m going to
see him tonight,” Gold barked angrily again
and walked up to the storage cart.
Queen stood and stared at her quietly while
she applied a little white powder and wore
her perfume, then picked up her phone
from the reading table, turned and walked
back to her, smiling.
“I’m leaving! Lock the door,” She perked her
lightly on the cheek and turned to leave but
Queen quickly held her right hand.
“Gold please, I can’t let you do this to
yourself, remember he asked for sex the last
time but you refused, he might try forcing
you today,” Queen pleaded.
Gold pulled her hand out of her hold and
stared thoughfully into the space.
“Please think twice,” Queen pleaded further.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door
which made Queen smile gleefully.
“Come in,” she said.
Then the door opened and Nath walked in
looking more cute than ever…
