FEMALE’S HOSTEL(Outside on the first floor)
Joy and Gloria stepped on the pavement as Gloria locked the door. The hostel environment looked deserted as many students had left for their various activities and businesses. Suddenly turning round, she sighted Gold and Queen coming towards their direction.
Joy also saw them coming, so she opened her handbag, placed her phone inside and smiled at Gloria who smiled back.
“Fool, you think you can pl@ygames with me and go scott free, you will never have Nath, that I promise you,” Gloria thought as she stared at Joy in hatred, then smiled to cover up.
“Goodmorning,” Gold greeted them and made to walk pas-s but Joy blocked her way.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Queen asked as Gold stood surprised wondering what was wrong.
“Wow!, madam Gold, beautiful Gold!, b©yfri£ndsnatcher!, cheap s–t!,” Joy said smiling as she walked round Gold, then st©pped infront of her again. “I have a request,” she folded her arms.
“Whats the meaning of this trash, how dare you st©p me this early morning just to rain insults on me?” Gold barked furiously while Gloria just watched on, still smiling.
“Girl, let’s get out of here now, forget this,” Queen pleaded, held Gold’s hand and made to leave but Joy st©pped them.
“I’m not done yet,” Joy eyed them and gestured to Gloria to do what they had planned.
Gloria smiled gleefully, “I’ve got nothing to say,” then folded her hands.
Joy’s smile gradually turned into a frown as she stared at Gloria but managed to cover it up. Turning to face Gold again, she fired angrily, “I’m warning you today to stay away from Nath and Jeffrey or face my wrath,” then she gr@bb£d the key from Gloria’s hand, pushed her out of the way, opened the door and entered inside leaving Gloria outside.
“Don’t mind her, she’s just bluffing, I’m on your side,” Gloria whispered to Gold, then turned and walked into the room to meet Joy standing, stamping her left foot angrily with a puffed face.
“This is Crazy,” Queen said staring at the closed door to Gloria and Joy’s room. “How can Gloria who’s d@t!ngJeffrey be on our side, or is she pretending?”
“They are not d@t!ng,” Gold skrie-ked turning to face Queen.
“They are,” Queen retorted. “Anyway let’s leave here, we’ll talk later when we get back,” she added camly.
“I’m not going anywhere again today,” Gold shouted angrily, then turned and walked back to their room leaving Queen standing speechless.
“What’s wrong with her?” a student who was pas-sing asked.
“Nothing!,” Queen replied sharply and ran after Gold.
“Ehn ehn!” the student laughed. “b©yfri£ndwahala,” she cl@pped her hands and walked away…
:
INSIDE JOY AND GLORIA’S ROOM…
“Babe you try wella,” Gloria praised in pretence as she dropped her bag and sat on the be-d happily.
“How dare you betray me Gloria,” Joy turned to her angrily.
“How did I betray you?”
“You planned on sl@pping her and lashing her with words but you just stood there and watched me,” Joy fumed almost crying.
Gloria felt pity for her but she really nee-ded to have her revenge on her so she continued her pretence. “C’mon Joy, you know I’m on your side, don’t worry I will deal with her, trust me,” she smiled and looked into her eyes.
Joy smiled foolishly, “Sure?”
“Trust me,” Gloria repeated and hvgged her. “You knew I loved Nath in our first year, second semester but you quic-kly used your craftiness to lure him to yourself but I’m happy Nath doesn’t feel anything for you and I don’t feel anything for him again either, But just know that I’ll rather kill him than help you get him after you succeeded in betraying me, fool,” Gloria thought wickedly, then she re-leased Joy, stared into her eyes and smiled in pretence.
“Do you trust me now?” she asked.
“Yes, wholeheartedly,” Joy smiled happily and wiped a tear…

GOLD AND QUEEN’S ROOM…
Gold sat on the mattress fuming in anger and pain. She didn’t want to believe that Jeffrey was a cheat.
“No, Jeffrey can’t do this, he loves me,” she said bitterly.
“plea-se don’t do this to yourself,” Queen pleaded and sat on the be-d too.
“I don’t want to talk to anyb©dy,” Gold shouted.
“Keep calm, Jeffrey isn’t meant for you,” Queen said and made to t©uçh her.
“No!” Gold screamed in pain. “Jeffrey loves me, they are lying against him, he loves me,” she cried.
Queen felt really pained to see her friend in that state. She pu-ll-ed her into her arms, “Its alright, he loves you,” she said soothingly. “Jeffrey will surely pay for this,” She muttered and stared into the space…

STILL THE FEMALE’S HOSTEL
(Gold and Queen’s room)
:
Gold had st©pped crying and was sniffing but Queen still held unto her. Suddenly there was a knock on the door which made Queen startled.
“Who could that be,” she thought as she stared at the closed door. Then the knock sounded again and it looked as if the knocker had something important to say.
“Who is that?” Queen asked.
“It’s me,” the knocker said in a cool voice.
“You who?”
“Nath!” c@m£ the reply again.
On hearing Nath, Gold looked up and stared at Queen shaking her head negatively, “Dont open!”
“Why?” Queen wanted to know.
“Just don’t open,” Gold answered, broke free from Queen’s hold and stood up. Then the knock sounded again, louder this time.
“I won’t go anywhere unless I talk to you even if it means staying here till midnight,” Nath said from outside sounding serious.
Queen glanced at Gold who stood leaning on the bunk, then stood up and walked to the door. Surprisingly Gold kept mute and just fixed her gaze on her as she opened the door and Nath walked in smiling.
“Goodmorning,” Queen greeted and went out of the room without waiting for a reply, closing the door behind her.
Nath walked and stood in the middle of the room and look around. The room looked neat and tidy and also smelt nice. On the be-d l@ya fresh pink and white be-dsheets, a ph0to frame of Queen and Gold’s matriculation hung on the wall, the locker, wardrobe, pails looked well kept and arranged. Everything looked spick and span.
Turning to face Gold again, he smiled charmingly, “Hello beauty, Goodmorning,” he greeted with his hands in his pocket. “Nice room you’ve got,” he added.
“Who are you and what do you want?” Gold asked frowning and folded her hands.
“Can’t you atleast offer me a seat?” he asked.
Gold glared at him, then pu-ll-ed out a white plastic chair un-der the re-ading table and pushed it to him. She felt very grateful that the room was big and wi-de.
Nath smiled broadly and shook his head, “No, thanks, I’ll seat on the mattress only if you join me there.”
“This guy is mad o,” Gold thought wordlessly. “Say what you want to say and leave, you have 5minutes and your time starts now,” she fired.
Nath re-moved his hands from his pocket and moved close to her. Standing infront of her, he t©uçhed her cheek and said, “Have you been crying?” he asked instead with concern written all over his face.
“No!” she skrie-ked and sl@pped away his hand. “Leave now!” she ordered.
“You know you’re not the rude type so plea-se st©p acting like one,” he said still wondering what could make her cry.
Gold kept mute and stared at his head like he’d gone nuts. She felt like raining insults on him but kept calm and waited to hear what he had to say.
“I’m here for us to talk like mature adults, so plea-se give me a listening ear,” he pleaded and waited for her to say something but when she didn’t, he continued. “You’re beautiful,” he admired, looking at her lovingly.
“Thank you,” she said sharply. “I’ve heard that a thousand times, now plea-se leave,” she unfolded her hands and gestured to the door.
Nath swallowed ha-rd . He thought it wasn’t the right time to talk to her, so he decided to leave. “Alright, I’ll leave,” he breathed. “But I’ll come back, If not for another thing but just to know the reason why you’ve been crying and also to let you know I care about you. So expect me by 7:00pm,” he smiled and t©uçhed her br@ids ro-mantically. Then he turned and walked to the door. Holding the door handle, he looked back at her and repeated, “Expect me by 7:00pm,” then smiled again, then he opened the door, stepped out and closed it behind him.
Gold sighed in relief as the door was closed. “Why wasn’t it Jeffrey that c@m£ to see me,” she muttered, threw herself on the be-d and started sobbing again.
Minutes later, Queen opened the door and rushed inside. “Babe, that guy is cute!, where has he been all this while?” she said excitedly and sat on the mattress.
“I nee-d Jeffrey,” Gold muttered sadly as she carried up her head and placed it on Queen’s l@p.
“Don’t tell me you’ve been crying again because of that fool, someone is here showing concern for your feelings and you’re crying for someone who doesn’t deserve you,” Queen lashed out angrily.
“I love him,” Gold cried.
“No you don’t, you’re simply obsessed,” Queen barked, carried up her head and stood with her eyes flashing in anger…

:
FEMALE’S HOSTEL(First floor, pavement)
Gloria opened the door to the room a little and saw Queen rush excitedly into their room. She smiled and glanced back at Joy who was fast asleep, then stepped out and closed the door quietly behind her.
Half running along the pavement, she kept glancing back, then suddenly, she collided with someone at the rear end leading down the stairs.
“Oh Nath! I’m sorry, I was running so I could meet up with you,” she apologised breathing heavily. “How did it go?”
Nath sighed de-eply, “Not well, she refused talking nor listening to me,” he said and held her shoulders, “Gloria! I’m going crazy, plea-se help me,” he pleaded.
“Dont worry,” Gloria smiled. “I gat your back lover boy even though you never valued me at first,” she said staring at him.
“Do we really have to go throu-gh this again,” he asked and re-leased her shoulders.
“No, just reminding you of how bad I felt when you rejected me but nevermind I’m inlove now,” she replied. “So!, what’s the next step?”
“I’ll go back there by 7:00pm and I pray she listens to me.”
“Good but Nath!, promise me one thing?” she requested.
“What?”
“That you’ll will never hurt her. Just like her name, she has a heart of gold, I don’t like the way Jeffrey has been treating her because of me that’s why I want you to make her happy again coz I believe you love her like you said,” she said holding his right hand with her gaze fixed on him.
Nath smiled and squee-zed her hand, “Trust me bae, I will never do anything to make her regret knowing me, that I promise.”
Gloria’s smile wi-de-ned, “Thank you, I have to go now, Some students that are pas-sing here have bad mouth, see ya later,” she hvgged him briefly, turned and walked back to the room.
“Oh Gold!” Nath muttered as he turned and climbe-d down the stairs…

:
MALE’S HOSTEL(Jeffrey and Felix’s room)
Time checked- 1:50pm…
Jeffrey could be seen sitted on the be-d, his back leaning against the wall with one leg stretched out and the other bent on the knee, chatting on his phone, while Felix just l@yquietly with his palms behind his head, thinking about God knows what, they’d returned from school an hour earlier.
“Kai! this girl have killed me,” Jeffrey screamed excitedly and ru-bbe-d his head.
“Which girl?” Felix asked and sat up.
“One new bae like that o, if you see her ehn, na instant erection be that,” Jeffrey smiled, tapped his head and continued chating.
Felix stared at him in pity and shook his head, “When will you ever st©p thinking of girls and S-x, do you even remember atall that you’re a student, an SUG president for that matter?”
“Ah!” Jeffrey exclaimed.
“What’s that suppose to mean?” he asked and dropped his phone.
“What it means is that you should st©p deceiving girls especially Gold, c’mon that girl loves you,” Felix pleaded sounding a bit angry.
“But she doesn’t give me what I want, she can’t even k!ss,” Jeffrey complained.
“So!, what is it that you want which she can’t give?” Felix asked and folded his arms.
“S-x of coz, she claims to be a v!rg!nand each time I try tou-ching her, she keeps rebuffing.”
Felix chuckled, “So!, Gloria nko?”
“Kai! that one is talented,” Jeffrey smiled broadly and ru-bbe-d his palms in plea-sure.
“Then other girls nko?” Felix asked further.
“Guy free me jhare, all I know is when you see a girl, just f–k and get away, if she doesn’t want to give you want you want, then you ditch her secretly simple,” Jeffrey concluded and carried up his phone again.
“Remember you’ve not even been in a relationsh!pwith Gold up to three months, you guys just started d@t!nglast year during exams period, did you expect her to have S-x with you that period?” Felix asked and unfolded his arms.
Jeffrey now felt irritated, “Oya it’s enough now, biko, let me rest,” he pleaded.
“No! It’s not, you nee-d deliverance,” Felix said angrily and stood up.
Jeffrey laughed out loud, “Na you sabi.”
Felix stared at him in anger, then he hissed loudly, then walked to the wardrobe and took out his polo and put it on. “You will regret this one day,” he eyed him and hissed again, then walked to the door. “I’m going out mr S-x maniac, keep my share of food for me if only S-x will give you the chance to eat,” he added calmly, walked out and slammed the door behind him..
