FEMALE HOSTEL(Gold and Queen’s hostel)
Gold and Queen could be seen in their room. Gold l@yon her belly with her two legs swinging in the air while Queen sat with her legs crossed and her back leaning on the wall. They too use family sized be-d and abandoned the bunk that was in the room. They both wore white bomshort, Queen wore an orange turtle n£¢k t©p while Gold wore blue. Gold was going throu-gh the messages on her phone while Queen was re-ading a novel titled “ECHOES OF THE PAST by Noblequeen.”
“Oh love! Oh fire,” Gold exclaimed and turned to lie on her back.
“What’s wrong?,” Queen asked.
“Listen,” Gold said and sat up. “Each time I look into your eyes, it reminds me of the…”
“Abeg!” Queen cut her short. “If it’s about Jeffrey then I don’t want to hear.”
“C’mon girl, it’s my love we’re talking about here,” Gold said in her American accent.
“Love fire!” Queen hissed. “That cheater, it seems you haven’t heard he’s also seeing Gloria, that Joy’s friend that carries herself about like a proud peac0ck,” She added and closed the novel.
“It’s a lie,” Gold spat out. “My Jeffrey can never cheat on me.”
“Well I think your br@in has been disorientated but nevermind, sooner or later, you will realise,” Queen whispered. “Anyways, forget Jeffrey and tell me about that guy you saw at the p@rty, you said you saw him again last night,” she requested, dropped the book and folded her hands in anticipation.
“Oh that!” Gold smiled wi-dely. “I just like the guy but I don’t love him coz I have Jeffrey.”
“Wow!, What’s his name?”
“Um! Not sure though but I heard someone call him Nath at the p@rty. He’s cute and I think he will fit you,” Gold tea-sed.
“Oh plea-se!, spare me,” Queen smiled.
Gold chuckled, “Fine then, so tell me what you have against Jeffrey?”
“Will you let me stay here or not?” Queen asked frowning.
“Of coz yes darling,” Gold smiled and tickled her ma-king her frowned face turn into a beautiful smile…

MALE’S HOSTEL(Jeffrey and Felix’s room)
TIME CHECKED-6:23PM
“Hello honey,” Gloria greeted as she poked her head into the room holding the half open door. She wore a short ti-ght fitting Sk-irt and sleeveless t©p which expo-sed a greater p@rt of her brea-st.
Felix, who l@yon the big size mattress which was on the floor pla-ying games on gisted l@pt©p hissed loudly and closed his l@pt©p while Jeffrey smiled and dropped the phone he was holding.
“Oh baby, come in,” Jeffrey said grinning from ear to ear. Gloria walked in s£dûçt!velyand sat on Jeffrey’s l@p.
“I missed you baby” She smiled and k!$$£d him.
“I missed you more,” Jeffrey said as he bit his lower l!pand squee-zed her as-s. “Can’t wait to rock and jam.”
Felix cleared his throat, “Guy see you later,” he eyed Gloria and left the room.
“Wait baby,” Jeffrey excused himself and stood up to lock the door. Then he walked back to the be-d, picked up Felix l@pt©p, dropped it on the floor and jumped on Gloria who threw away her handbag and wra-pped her hands on his n£¢k. Soon theirl-ips were locked in a fierce k!ss. Jeffrey k!$$£d her long and ha-rd as he fondled her br£@st ma-king her m0@n in plea-sure. Soon their clothes were see flying in different directions.
“C’mon let me take you to the world of beyond,” Jeffrey smiled, pu-ll-ed up to the middle of the be-d and started k!ss!ngher all over…

(Nath and Ken’s room)
Felix walked into the room looking pissed off. He ignored Ken’s laughter and jumped on the be-d.
“Another Jeffrey wahala,” Nath giggled as he shifted on the be-d to give Felix enough space to lie down.
“I tell you, no be small thing,” Ken continued laughing.
“Thank God you don’t do yours here if not, I’d be suffering too,” Nath smiled happily.
“But guy wait o, That Jeffrey is always mad at times,” Felix said angrily as he sat up on the be-d.
“I wonder, every night different girls, thank God mine is only three,” Ken said and stood up to get a cu-p of water.
“Mumu, three you say only,” Nath eyed him.
“See you, comon girl you can’t talk to, you’re here sharping mouth,” Ken retorted ma-king Felix laugh out loud.
“Which girl?,” he asked.
“One fine bae wey package wella,” Ken giggled and drank from the cu-p of water.
“Ah! When was that coz Nath has never been inlove?” Felix asked further, curiously.
Ken took time to swallow the water before speaking up, “She c@m£ here last night to look for Jeffrey o, and Nath said she’s his dream girl,” he replied walking back to the be-d.
“What!, Gold,” Felix exclaimed. “Nath!, she’s Jeffrey’s girlfriend.”
“So she’s d@t!ngJeffrey and you never told us,” Nath inquired.
“Sorry but Jeffrey wanted it to be kept secret,” Felix apologised. Suddenly there was loud knock on the door ma-king them turn to look at each other with the look of “Are you expecting someone.”

MALE HOSTEL(Nath and Ken’s room)
“Who’s that,” Ken called out.
“It’s me Joy,” the person answered.
Nath hissed loudly, “Go, we don’t nee-d you, you are a pariah,” he shouted.
“Oh my love plea-se open,” Joy knocked again ignoring the comment.
“This girl is mad o, Ken, Felix do something na,” Nath pleaded staring at them but instead they bur-sted into laughter as Ken stood up to go open the door ignoring Nath who glared at him angrily. The door was opened and Joy walked in looking more or less like a prostitute. She wore a short pink go-wn with black heels and a black handbag to match. Her makeover was worse.
“Goodevening,” She greeted the guys who stared at her in awe ma-king her look like a fool.
After few minutes of silence, Nath stood up and wore his polo with a frowned face. Surprisingly Felix also stood up. They trio made furtive gestures at each other and made to leave the room.
“Whats wrong, where are you guys going?” Joy asked, her face red with embarras-sment.
“My mum thought me never to stay in the same room with masquerade looking human so I’m just following her advice,” Nath mocked and walked out.
“plea-se we gotta go,” Ken smiled at her and gestured to the door for her to walk out. Joy stared at them for some seconds, then she shamefully ran out of the room.
“Guys, has she gone?,” Nath asked rushing back into the room after few minutes.
“Yes,” Felix replied and sat back on the be-d but Ken preferred standing.
“Better,” Nath sighed in relief
“Guy it’s not fair,” Felix said.
“What?” Nath sat down.
“Give her a chance,” Ken added. “At least you guys can be friends with benefit.”
“No!,” Nath fired. “You talked about my dream girl and you said her name is Gold, right?”
“Yea!”
“Well I love Gold and nothing can change that.”
“But you just heard she’s d@t!ngJeffrey,” Ken scowled.
“I don’t care.”
“But Nath…”
“I don’t bloody care,” Nath barked, stood up and walked out…

FEMALE HOSTEL(Joy and Gloria’s room)
Gloria walked into the room looking tired to meet Joy who l@yon the floor sniffling, her eyes red and swollen with tears. She and Jeffrey had four rounds of h0t S-x sessions and that made her feel very tired.
“Babe, what’s wrong?” She asked as she dropped her handbag and rushed to her side. Despite Joy’s troublesome attitude, she still had a soft sp©t for her.
“Nath!” Joy called weakly.
“Nath?, what did he do this time,” Gloria asked as she carried her up and wiped her tears.
“I eavesdropped on them after they asked me to leave the room, Nath is inlove with Gold,” Joy sobbe-d leaning on Gloria’s arm.
“Wow, that’s goodnews o, atleast Gold will leave me Jeffrey for me,” Gloria smiled.
Joy looked up thoughtfully after some seconds, “If we put heads together, you and I can get back our love,” she smiled and wiped a tear.
“Um! That’s true o,” Gloria said thoughtfully too. “Oya st©p crying and smile, we’ll plan towards it,” she said soothingly ma-king Joy smile a bit…

…NATH’S HOUSE…
Time checked- 9:05pm
Mr Edwards, Nath’s dad could be seen sitted on the couch in his small sitting room which led to the large sitting room with a newspaper in his hand. He wore his pyjamas as it was alre-ady night.
“Honey!” he called out to his wife who emerged from the corridor leading to their room, all smiles.
“Sweetheart!, you called,” Mrs Edwards said as she sat beside her husband and k!$$£d him lightly on the cheek.
“I’ll be s£nding some money to Nath tomorrow, we didn’t give him enough before he left on sunday,” the husband said turning to face his wife, then dropped the newspaper on the side stool.
“Wow!, good idea,” the wife smiled.
“Yea, I decided that today but wanted to let you know first.”
“So!, like how much?” she asked.
“30thousand naira,” he replied ma-king the wife move away from him in shock.
“What!, she exclaimed. “30thousand naira, honey it’s too much na.”
“Too much?, I don’t think so.”
“Remember his sister in the UK, she also nee-ds money,” the wife complained.
“Okay I’ll make it twenty five,” the husband said and pu-ll-ed her to himself.
“Um! Still much but it’s alright,” She smiled.
“My stubborn beautiful wife,” he tea-sed.
“My stubborn ugly husband,” she tea-sed too ma-king him smile and k!ssher again on the cheek.
“Come lets go to be-d, I’m feeling cold,” the wife said dragging him up.
“Ah! Always at your service my queen,” he smiled as he re-moved his eyeglas-s, then he carried her up and headed to the room.
“Oh! Can’t wait,” she giggled and he smiled…

“HEARTLAND UNIVERSITY”
The morning was somewhat cold as the students of “Heartland University” walked around the campus trying to get one or two things done. It was still the registeration week thus meaning that the students were a bit free from lectures for about two weeks so they could choose to do whatsoever they like as long as it doesn’t contradict with the University’s rules and regulations, cars could be driving in and out of the campus, students walking briskly to the registeration centre, some running around with files, some dressed like prostitutes and some just lazing around feeling big. The guys especially the old students could be seen trying to stalk the new intake girls, while some students who claimed to be born again could be seen walking around in long sleeve shi-ts and Sk-irts, with Bible which looked as if it was being plastered to their hands …

MALE’S HOSTEL(Nath and Ken’s room)
Time checked- 7:45am
Nath opened the door and walked into the room with a big whites towel tied round his w@!st and another small pink one on his n£¢k. It was obvious that he’d just had his morning bath. He walked to where they kept their water and dropped the soap dish, then he walked to the wardrobe to get dressed.
“Um! Guy, food no dey o,” Ken complained in pidgin as he l@yon the be-d fiddling with his phone.
Nath kept quiet and concentrated on applying cream on his b©dy, then he untied the towel from his w@!st, re-moved the one from his n£¢k, dropped them on the locker close by and quic-kly wore his bo-xer.
“Nath!” Ken called out again. “I said food no dey, I mean there is no food,” he said sitting up on the be-d.
Nath kept ignoring him as he took two hangers from the wardrobe, put the we-t bo-xer he’d washed together with the small towel in it, then took them outside to dry.
Ken looked baffled. He wondered why Nath kept ignoring him. He thought of what to do as Nath walked back into the room and cleared his throat.
“Ehn Ehn! Guy, what were you saying?” Nath asked as he sat on the edge of the mattress yawning.
“No food,” Ken repeated and yawned wi-dely ma-king Nath laugh a bit.
“Let’s eat bre-ad with sardine na,” Nath suggested and l@yon the be-d.
“Tah!” Ken rejected.
Nath was surprised, “Why?”
“I won’t be satisfied plea-se,” Ken frowned.
“No wahala na, then let’s stay,” Nath smiled.
“Why smiling?, Is it because of the food?”
“Was I?”
“Yes!” Ken replied. “I guess I know,” he whispered, then added, “Gold right?”
Nath smiled broadly and closed his eyes, “Search for my dream girl has been completed.”
“That’s true sha,” Ken concurred. “But now the big question is, Will you too ever be together?”
Nath opened his eyes and stared thoughtfully at the ceiling, then smiled again, “I believe so.”
“Untermed faith for love,” Ken giggled and stood up then he walked to the locker they kept foodstuffs, opened it and brou-ght out a tin of sardine with a big loaf of bre-ad.
Nath sat up and chuckled, “What are you doing with that?” he asked.
“I want to throw them away,” Ken eyed him and he smiled…

FEMALE’S HOSTEL(Gold and Queen’s room)
Gold and Queen could be seen eating from a large bowl of conflakes.
“Honestly I keep having bad feelings against Jeffrey,” Gold confessed and scouped a spoonful of conflakes into her mouth.
“What bad feelings?” Queen asked and drank from a cu-p of water.
Gold swallowed ha-rd , “That he’s cheating on me.”
Queen sighed and dropped her spoon into the bowl, “So, what are you planning to do?” she asked with concern written all over her face.
“I’ll set him up with my cousin, Bright, to see if he would fall,” Gold said and dropped her spoon too, then placed her right f!nger on her l!pin a worried manner.
“But that’s a childlike suggestion,” Queen complained.
“Yea, but that seems to be the only solution I have now,” Gold said looking sober as she picked up her spoon and started eating again.
“Now this is really bad, but don’t worry, it’s well,” Queen smiled at her as she also picked up her spoon and resumed eating…

STILL THE FEMALE’S HOSTEL
(Joy and Gloria’s room)
“I will deal with that good for nothing today,” Joy fumed as she dressed up.
“Who?” Gloria asked, applying make up on her face.
“Hei Gloria!, have you forgotten so soon?”
“Oh!, the plan right?” Gloria smiled.
“What else na, by the time we’re throu-gh with her, she’ll realise that we’re not pieces of meat you chew without nee-ding a toothpick,” Joy smiled wickedly, then sat down and stared into the mirror.
“Kai! Suicide mission, this semester go h0t like fire,” Gloria exclaimed as she and Joy exchanged victory glances at each other, smiling wickedly…
