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 l@yon the be-d staring at him in amazement. “Is this one okay for me to put on,” he asked holding out a de-ep blue coloured chinos trou-ser 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 be-dside 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 hvgged. “It’s alright, we’re cool,” he patted his back and re-leased him.
“Thanks man,” Ken smiled, then walked round the room with his f!ngerslocked together. “This new semester is gonna be great coz I will st©p 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 st©pped 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 be-dside stool, then he noticed he had a new message because the phone light was still blinking. He unlocked the phone and re-ad throu-gh the message, then smiled broadly.
“What’s that?” Ken asked moving to stand beside him.
“Dad s£nt me twenty five thousand…” Nath screamed stressing the thousand.
“Oh my! That’s great, no more bre-ad 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 win-ked at him, and walked to the door.
“No problem, prepare to st©p eating too,” Ken said ma-king Nath st©p 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 alre-ady had her trou-ser 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.
“plea-se let me be,” Gold pleaded calmly and wore her t©p.
“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 re-ading 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 quic-kly held her right hand.
“Gold plea-se, I can’t let you do this to yourself, remember he asked for S-x the last time but you refused, he might try forcing you today,” Queen pleaded.
Gold pu-ll-ed her hand out of her hold and stared thoughfully into the space.
“plea-se 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…

STILL THE FEMALE’S HOSTEL(Gold and Queen’s room)
Time checked 7:05pm
Nath walked and stood in the middle of the room smiling charmingly.
“Goodevening,” he greeted looking from Gold to Queen. Gold simply ignored him, walked back and sat on the mattress.
“Goodafternoon,” Queen replied and made to walk past him but Nath held her right hand thus st©pping her from moving a step further.
“You did this in the morning and now again,” he smiled and re-leased her hand.
Queen also smiled back coz she perfectly un-derstood what he meant. “I’m sorry! I’m Queen by name, nice meeting you Nath,” she apologised and stretched out her right hand for a shake.
Nath, still smiling accepted her hand, “Nice meeting you Queen, guess I’ll be seeing more of you henceforth?” he asked.
“Sure,” Queen giggled and pu-ll-ed out her hand from his. “I’ll leave you two love birds for now, have fun.”
On hearing love birds, Gold looked up and eyed her angrily while Queen simply smiled at her and left the room, ma-king sure to shut the door ti-ght behind her.
After Queen had left, Nath stood with his hands behind his back, staring silently at Gold who also stared back at him but while Nath stared affectionately, she stared angrily.
After some minutes of staring and silence, Nath moved and sat beside her on the mattress.
“plea-se don’t come near me,” Gold pleaded looking scared as the light from the bulb shone brightly into her eyes.
“Alright, I’ll stay right where I am, no coming close,” Nath said and they bec@m£ silent again.
“What do you want from me?” Gold asked unable to bear the silence.
“Simple,” Nath cleared his throat. “Tell me why you were crying in the morning,” he asked as his smiling face turned into a concerned one but surprisingly Gold just sat there and ignored him with her elbow supporting her chin.
“Talk to me plea-se,” Nath pleaded after some minutes of silence but she still ignored him.
“This is bad,” he thought to himself and stared into the space, occasionally glancing at her. They sat close to an hour with Nath still pleading with her to talk to him but she choosed to remain silent.
“I guess you’re still not in the right frame of mind to talk to anyone but believe me, I’ll keep coming till whenever you wish to talk,” He said and glanced at the walk clock in the room, It re-ad 8:15pm.
He sighed de-eply in frustration and stood up deliberately dropping his phone on the be-d, then he said his goodnight and walked quietly to the door.
“Nath!” She stood up and called as he was about opening the door.
“Yes!” Nath replied without looking at her.
“I’m in a relationsh!p, I love my b©yfri£ndso much and I believe he loves me too, so plea-se st©p coming here coz I know what you want and that I’ll never give you,” She said loudly but calmly.
“Do you really want me to st©p coming here?” he asked and opened the door.
“Yes!” she replied folding her fist.
“I’m sorry but that will never be possible, Goodnight!” he stepped out and slammed the door.
Gold heaved a sigh of relief and made to sit back on the mattress but Nath’s phone caught her attention.
She opened her mouth wi-de in shock as she bent and picked up the phone…
—***—
Outside the room, Nath ran into Queen on the varenda busy pressing her phone but quic-kly st©pped when she saw him.
“Nath!” She called and smiled, then added, “So fast.”
“Yes,” Nath smiled back, a smile that ba-rely reached his eyes. “Goodnight,” he said coldly and walked away wondering if spending more than one hour with a girl who blatantly refused to talk could be termed as “So fast.”
“Ah! What’s wrong with him?” She asked rhetorically. “I just hope Gold didn’t do anything funny,” She thought as she stared after him, then turned and ran along the varenda to their room…
…INSIDE THE ROOM…
Gold still stood staring at the phone in shock, then the door opened and Queen walked in.
“Gold! what happened?” She asked walking up to her. “Jeez!, Don’t tell me Nath left his phone here?,” She asked in surprise.
“Yes he did,” Gold answered and sat down. “What do I now?, how will I return it, I don’t want to see him here again,” she said and dropped the phone, then placed her head in her palms.
“Wait, I met him minutes ago, let me go out and check,” Queen said and rushed out…
She ran along the varenda and down the stairs but couldn’t find Nath and she couldn’t go further coz it was late, So she quietly turned and headed back to the room…

FEMALE’S HOSTEL(Gold and Queen’s room)
Queen walked in looking confused. Tiny beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she sat on the be-d.
“Did you see him?” Gold asked.
“No!” Queen replied and pu-ll-ed off her blouse.
“plea-se you’ll help me return the phone to him tomorrow,” Gold pleaded.
Queen stared at her, “I’ll do no such thing girl, you will do that yourself,” she said and stood up. “By the way, where’s the food I left here?, I was so much in haste to leave you two that I forgot to carry it out?” she asked.
Gold looked at her in surprise, “Food!” she asked.
“Yes!”
“Sorry I totally forgot you were eating before he c@m£, my mind was occu-pied,” Gold apologised and stood up too.
Queen sighed, “Gold I think you’re loosing it o, so you mean you forget I was eating before Nath c@m£, hei! Wonders,” She exclaimed and turned, then she sighted the food on the provision locker and walked up to carry it. “So now, who kept the food here if not you, and it’s even covered,” she asked further.
“I don’t know plea-se,” Gold replied as she moved to the wardrobe and changed into her nightie.
“Fine, maybe Nath did, hmm what a caring boo,” Queen giggled as she walked and sat on the edge of the mattress with the food, opened it and started eating.
“Boo?” Gold turned to her.
“No cow,” Queen chuckled, dropped the spoon she was using and carried Nath’s phone. “Bae, I think we nee-d to do something about this phone o.”
“Do what?” Gold asked as took a spoon from the small plate cart and c@m£ to squat infront of Queen.
Queen looked at her in amusement as she scouped the food into her mouth, “So you’re now hungry abi?”
Gold ignored her and chewed slowly on the food in her mouth, then swallowed and asked again, “Do what?”
“Let’s finish eating first,” Queen said and dropped the phone again…

MALE’S HOSTEL(Nath and Ken’s room)
“Hey guy, watsup na, how did it go?” Ken asked and re-moved his earphone from his ear as Nath walked in and l@yon the mattress with an odd expression on his face which Ken couldn’t even figure out. “I guess it went bad?”
“She just ignored me for an whole hour, imagine?” Nath sighed. “Anyway, forget it, plea-se I nee-d your phone to call my dad and thank him for the money,” he said.
“Ah! Guy, where’s your phone?”
“I left it in their room,” Nath scratched his head.
“Which room?” Ken questioned.
“Which other room do you think?”
Ken’s interest was pricked and his curiousity reached its high peak, “Why?”
“She ignored me na, so I left my phone there so she’ll have no other choice than to bring it here then I’ll ignore her too to see if it’ll hurt her,” Nath explained.
“Kai! Sharp guy, oya take,” Ken grinned and handed him his phone.
“Thanks bro, By the time I’m throu-gh with my plans, she’ll realise Jeffrey doesn’t love her and will be seeking for my attention and that’s when the chemistry go strong wella,” Nath chuckled and dialed his dad’s number but his father rejected the call and called him back.
“Goodevening dad,” he greeted forming tired voice as he picked.
“Goodevening son, how is daddy’s boy doing tonight?” the dad asked over the phone.
“Fine dad, just feeling stressed out due to school work,” he smiled and glanced at Ken who nodded with the look of “bad guy.”
“Sorry son, you learn to manage, where’s your phone?”
“Oh!, charging it dad, how’s mum doing?”
“Always fine and beautiful son and how’s Ken?”
Nath giggled, “I trust her to always be especially with you around, Ken is fine too.”
“n@ûghty boy,” the father laughed.
“Thanks for the money dad.”
“Oh!, you’re welcome son,” the father replied. They spoke for about five minutes more then wished each other goodnight and hung up with the dad telling him not to let the beautiful girls distract his attention in his studies…
“That was a long call mehn,” Ken breathed.
“Trust my dad na, always talking,” Nath laughed and dropped the phone, then stood up to change. “I pray Gold re-ads the messages I drafted about her on my phone.”
“Did you unlock it,” Ken asked.
“Ah! Trust me na.”
“Guy you sharp wella, kudos.”
“Queen will fit you, she’s so cool and nice,” Nath said and pu-ll-ed off his polo.
“Who’s Queen?” Ken wanted to know.
“Gold’s friend,” c@m£ the reply.
“Queen, Queen, Queen,” Ken muttered thoughtfully. “I hope she doesn’t turn out to be my facebook friend that blocked me coz I chatted about S-x,” he prayed silently. “If she’s the one, then double wahala…”
