Episode 1
She walked quickly making space in the crowded stairs with her hands as she left CMP102 class with slight headache. The jargons used there were still screaming on her head, she couldn't understand those codes, everything is so new to her.
Can she cope with this?
They all come flashing through her mind without answers. Even the advice from her seniors were dancing around her brain causing paranoia.
"Take the course seriously oh, people dey carry the course wella."
"Hmmn, you go work ehn, you go cram codes come do practical tire, the work hard gan."
"Our HOD wicked gan, him dey fail students oh, no enter him trap oh."
She left the stairs seperating CMP lab from PHY lab and briefly stopping to read the news pasted on "Life of a campus boy" news board. She then turned and moved out of the faculty to the school garage where she got a tricycle to motion ground...
"motion ground is a part of the school campus where activities such as buying of books, food, clothes, phones, photocopying and other business activities takes place"
...Gloria walked into Coca-Cola "one of the school canteen named after the popular Coca-Cola bottling company. She bought rice and a bottle of pepsi to ease herself from all the stress and off to school garage she went, boarded a cab to mini campus...
"mini campus is another part of the school where pre degree and part time students receive their lectures"
-Fifty Naira,
"Ahan, oga why now, from here to there na fifty naira?
There is God oh"
Said Glorai
Abeg if you no wan...
She walked away, leaving his mouth hanging. "Useless old driver"... she muttered as she walks towards the other side of the road to board another cab to her hostel only relieved that she was done for the day.
As she gets close to the cab, she heard someone call her name.
Gloria! Gloria! Gloria!
She could have waited but seeing an army of students almost flying to the cab made her rethink. She hurried and opened the front seat and hopped in, hoping that scramble for seats will make her caller the chance to speak to her.
And it did
He ran towards her, panting and sweating.
Gloria mi!
How far now?
You no even check after the class as we agreed.
"Woo, it's not like that jare, the course wey i tell you don jam headache scatter my brain".
"Eeyah, take it easy oh! Maybe na because today dey hot."
"I go see you for evening be that!" He finally ended the chat, casting a wry smile at her while she blushed a bit."
"OK, don't forget to bring that book."
"Yes ma! He replied, mockingly saluting her before he left.
She watched him
Ayo, walked away stylishly as his little as5 swayed side by side. It was odd and she knew it, but one of the things that made her fall in love with him was his as5. Most often it was the other way round, and while he was kinda cute, his as5 was the game changer for her.
"BOSAD" shouted the cab driver
O wa sir,
She answered by reflex as her daydreaming about Adedayo ended.
She stepped out of the bus, collected her balance and walked quickly along the road path, her headache miraculously gone with her daydreaming.
As she entered her room in His-Grace hostel, she stopped and stared at what the person in front of her wore
