She continued walking and Richa-rd turned and also walked beside her.
“I was wondering what you would do to that man with the gun if the police hadn’t come,”Janet tea-sed.
“I would tell him I was kidding, he should do whatever he plea-ses with you, “Richa-rd said.
“What? I thought you going to be my superman, “Janet complained.
“Had it been you are not fat, I can risk my life for you, “Richa-rd laughed.
“Oh damn it, why do you keep saying I’m fat?” Janet asked pretending to be angry.
“Well, the fact that you have a cute face, boys will blinded by it and won’t notice how fat you are,”Richa-rd said.
“Thanks for calling me beautiful,”Janet smiled.
“When did I call you beautiful?” Richa-rd asked.
“Technically, you just did,”Janet laughed.
“You must be very bat at grammar, there is a difference between cute, pretty and beautiful,”Richa-rd replied.
“Oh really Mr. Grammar? Tell me their differences,”Janet requested.
Before Richa-rd could reply, he noticed the lightings in the cloudy sky.
“Oh my God, we are in trouble,”Richa-rd said.
“What is it?”Janet asked worriedly.
“I think is going to rain,”Richa-rd responded.
“Oh my goodness, you scared the hell out of me Richa-rd , I thought it was something serious,”Janet answered.
“Have you got caught up in a heavy rain before?” Richa-rd asked.
“No I haven’t, why do you asked?” She questioned.
“Well, is similar to been wh!pped with a wh!pper. And if you haven’t been wh!pped before, get re-ady to feel the pain today,”Richa-rd said.
“I know you are just trying to scare me, and I won’t be bothered by that,”Janet smiled and kept on walking.
They talked and laughed as they walked as if they had been friends for years. At some point, Richa-rd felt like everything happening was in a dream and that he could wake up at any moment. They walked for an hour before it started raining heavily. Richa-rd suggested that they should find a place and stay until the rain st©ps, but Janet insisted that they Keep walking. It rained heavily on them as they walked but Janet didn’t mind.
“You said it will hurt, but I pretty much like it,”Janet yelled due to the loud sound of the rain.
“I am out of words to say,”Richa-rd smiled.
“Can I tell you something?” Janet asked.
“Yes sure,”Richa-rd as-sured.
“I used to think you were some kind of a jÂŁrk before, but not anymore,”Janet revealed.
“Really?” Richa-rd laughed.
“Yes of course,” she responded.
“Good to hear,”Richa-rd answered.
Suddenly, a car st©pped and parked close to the road beside them.
“Hey Richa-rd , where are you coming from?” Asked the person driving.
When they got closer, they noticed that it was one of their course mates at school.
“Thank God,”Richa-rd said and they both quic-kly ran and entered the car.
Their course mate was so surprised to see them together in that condition.
“Where are you guys coming from?” He asked as he started driving.
“Is a long story really,”Richa-rd responded.
“Well, we’ve got plenty of time,” he answered.
“We visited someone and got caught in the rain,”Janet quic-kly interfered.
“Oh I see,” he answered suspecting that they were hiding something. He drove into school and headed towards the female dormitory. She walked down from the car after it c@mÂŁ to a halt close to the gate of her dormitory. “Good night Richa-rd ,” she said as she smiled. “Goodnight Janet ,”Richa-rd smiled back.
The car drove away and Richa-rd was dropped close to his hostel too.
“Thank you so much, I really appreciate it,”Richa-rd said and his course mate as he drove away.
As he was heading to his room, he suddenly remembered that he was supposed to have a lesson with Rebecca. He then decided he will make up for it the next day.
When he entered their room, he found all of his roommates slee-ping due fact that the weather had become so cold because of the rain. He went to the bathroom and changed the we-t cloth he was wearing. He went to his be-d and lied down because he very tired without even thinking of studying. He kept thinking about what happened between him and Janet until he finally fell asleep.
🎊🎊🎊🎊
The next day, Richa-rd woke up feeling so happy. Before he could do anything, he discovered that he was late for lectures. He quic-kly got dressed and ran out of the room. Because he was late, he took a taxi to the faculty. He arrived there five minutes after the lecture had started.
Luckily for him, the lecturer doesn’t mind if students come to his clas-s late. He entered the lecture hall and went to the last sit and sat down. Richa-rd looked around the lecture hall but couldn’t see Janet. It then brou-ght him to the conclusion that she was still slee-ping. As the lecture was taking place, Richa-rd could not st©p himself from thinking about Janet and the incidences that happened between them the previous night.
After the lecture, Richa-rd remained behind in the hall trying to cover up for the time he missed the previous night.
“How did it go for you yesterday?” Someone asked.
When Richa-rd turned, he noticed that it was Paul.
“Don’t take me to places like that ever again, “Richa-rd said angrily as he stood.
“Oh come on, calm down. I was just trying to entertain you,” Paul responded.
“Entertain? Just hear how ridiculous you sound. If I want to entertain myself, I would have done so right here at school. Do you have an idea of what trouble I would have been into if I got arrested?” Richa-rd asked. “Okay I am a sorry man, I should have told you,” Paul said as he hit Richa-rd on the shoulder.
Richa-rd shook his head and continued with what he was doing. He studied for about 1 hour before the next lecture started. During the next lecture, he looked around to see if he could see Janet. But he didn’t see her even after the lectures. He then began to suspect that something had happened to her. He brou-ght out his phone to call her, he then suddenly remembered that he had deleted her number when they misun-derstanding previously. At that moment, he regrets to have deleted her number.
He later went to the cafeteria to have some food. He sat at a table waiting for the waiter. He saw their clas-s represÂŁntative sitting at the table behind him with his friends. He knew he was a good friend of Janet, so he then decided to ask him about her. He stood up and approached their table and was about to speak when he heard his friends teasing him about Janet.
“I don’t really know what her problem is, she keeps telling me that she is not re-ady for a serious relationsh!pright now,” the clas-s repres£ntative said.
“Just keeping on trying, she wouldn’t be talking to you if she was interested in you at all,” replied one his friends.
The moment Richa-rd heard that he felt as if he ran out of the air to breathe.
The pain in his che-st was as if he swallowed a molten rock only that it was much worst. He turned to go back to his table when he was called by his clas-s represÂŁntative.
“Hey Richa-rd , I thought you were coming here,” he said.
“Oh yes I am, I forgot something at that table, let me go and get it first,” Richa-rd responded. “Alright then,” the clas-s repres£ntative answered.
Richa-rd went to his table and pretended to have taken something and returned to where his clas-s represÂŁntative was.
“So how are you Richa-rd ?” his clas-s repres£ntative asked.
“I’m doing well, and yourself?” Richa-rd asked as he sat down.
“I am good too. Where is your friend?” the clas-s repres£ntative asked.
“I don’t know where he is,” Richa-rd responded.
“Maybe he is with girls,” the clas-s repres£ntative suspected.
“I won’t be surprised anymore. He really annoyed me yesterday,” Richa-rd complained.
“What did he do?” His clas-s repres£ntative asked,
“He took me to a club saying that I nee-d to socialize with girls. I nearly got arrested yesterday,” Richa-rd narrated.
“You see, you really nee-d to advise your friend. Have you seen his result for the previous semester?” the clas-s repres£ntative asked.
“No I haven’t, but he told me that he had a single F in his result,” Richa-rd responded.
His clas-s represÂŁntative started laughing after Richa-rd said that.
“And do you really believe what he told you? Are you really his friend?” the clas-s repres£ntative asked.
“Is there anything I’m missing about his result?” Richa-rd asked confusingly.
“You are missing everything Richa-rd , to be honest with you, you really nee-d to know more about your friend, where he goes to, the type of people he hangs out with and what he does in the night,” the clas-s repres£ntative said.
“Really? But tell me about his result right now,” Richa-rd requested.
“I won’t say much, just go to our result and check for the poorest result,” the clas-s repres£ntative directed.
“Alright, I will do that,” Richa-rd replied.
He went to the office of their head of the dep@rtment and asked for the overall list of the names of students in their dep@rtment. There, he found Paul’s identification number and headed to their bulletin board where their results were placed. He went throu-gh all the results and found Paul’s result. He was completely disappointed by the result and finally realized why he had been hiding his identification number all along. He decided to talk to him about it pri-vately when they meet alone.
🎉✅
Later in the day, he couldn’t forget about what he heard his clas-s represÂŁntative said about Janet. He felt so jealous whenever he remembered and wished he could st©p thinking about her. In the evening around 4 o’clock, he decided to go Prof. Grace’s house to have his lesson with Rebecca. When he went to the house, he found Rebecca sitting on the bonnet of her mother’s car with her friend who happened to be her neighbour. She wore black jeans trou-ser with a white sweater. She wore white socks on her legs with no shoes. They were talking and laughing at the t©p of their voices. As Richa-rd approached them, Rebecca was t©uçhed by her friend and then showed Richa-rd . The moment she turned and saw Richa-rd , she frowned immediately. He went and stood by the entrance of the house waiting for her to come. He spent about five minutes waiting for but she didn’t come. “Rebecca!” Richa-rd called.
She jumped down from the bonnet of the car and met him.
“What do you want from me?” she asked with a frowned face looking at the ground.
“I’m surprised you are even asking me this question, don’t you the purpose of my coming here?” Richa-rd asked.
“I would have known if you come yesterday as you scheduled,” she replied.
“Sorry I got caught up in something that’s why I couldn’t come,” Richa-rd appealed.
“Do you think I’m some useless kid that doesn’t have anything to do? Let me tell you something, you are not going to treating me the way you want. I am busy today, you can schedule another day,” Rebecca said she looked up and looked into his eyes angrily.
“Look here young lady; I don’t want to complicate things. Just let me do what I come here to do and be on way, I didn’t like how it ended the other day, so I don’t want anything of that nature to you again,” Richa-rd stated.
“I just want you to know that you can’t do whatever you like,” Rebecca answered.
They entered the house and found Professor Grace sitting in the living room watching television.
“Good evening Ma’am,” Richa-rd greeted her. “Good evening Richa-rd , How are you doing?” Prof. Grace asked.
“I am doing fine, ” Richa-rd answered.
“How are your studies?” she asked again.
“Everything is fine,” Richa-rd responded.
“Did you come for your lesson with Rebecca?” she asked.
“Yes,” Richa-rd answered.
“That’s good; I don’t want you to be easy on her. If she doesn’t cooperate, just report her to me,” Prof. Grace instructed.
“Okay I will as instructed,” Richa-rd replied. Richa-rd went to the dining table and waited for Rebecca to come out with her books. About five minutes, she c@m£ out with her Mathematics and Physics textbooks. She kept the books close to Richa-rd and the sat on the chair next to him. The perfume on her b©dy was so sweet that he wished he could ask her which one she was using.
“So with which subject are we going to start?” Richa-rd asked.
“Anyone you wish,” she responded with her face still frowned.
“Alright, let’s start with Physics. Tell me the areas you don’t un-derstand well,” Richa-rd requested.
She kept quiet for about a minute without saying a word. Richa-rd decided to give her some test to gauge her performance. He wrote down some of the simplest problems from in the textbook and gave her to solve it.
About 20 minutes later, he requested for her answers and found out that she couldn’t solve any of them.
“Well, that means we have to start with the basics,” Richa-rd said as he closed the textbook.
He instructed her to bring the Mathematics textbooks of her junior years. After she brou-ght them, he started teaching her the simplest t©pics. He tried his best to make her un-derstand, but he couldn’t help it.
About an hour later, he decided to end the lesson by giving her some work as as-signment despite he knew she won’t be to solve them.
“Try your best to do them before our next lesson,” Richa-rd said but she didn’t say a word.
“I will see you next time,” Richa-rd said as he stood up to leave.
“Are you leaving?” Prof. Grace asked when Richa-rd got to her position.
“Yes I am,” Richa-rd replied.
“So how is her performance,” she asked.
“Well, let’s hope she will improve at the end of the day,” Richa-rd answered.
“Rebecca!” she called out.
“Yes mummy,” Rebecca answered.
“I heard that you are not doing so well,” the Professor complained.
Rebecca glared at Richa-rd angrily and he pretended not to have noticed her.
“Well, if you don’t improve by the end of this session, I will make you repeat SS 2 even if your school allows you to be promoted to the final year,” Prof. Grace cautioned.
Rebecca was silent and couldn’t say a word.
“I will take my leave ma’am,” Richa-rd said after a moment of silence.
“Alright Richa-rd , see you next time,” the Professor responded.
When he walked out of the Professor’s house, he discovered that the place had gotten dark. He decided to go to his room and eat something. Suddenly, his phone started ringing and he noticed that it was Paul calling.
Paul: where are you?
Richa-rd : I’m on my way to Block D, where are you?
Paul: I’m sitting on your be-d right now.
Richa-rd : Wait for me; I will be there as soon as I finish eating.
Paul: Alright, until you come
🌠đźŚ
After their call, Richa-rd went to one of his mates and collected his book after which he headed to his room.
“Hey, where have you been all day long?” Paul asked as Richa-rd entered the room.
“I have been busy with Professor Grace’s daughter. What about you? Where have you been?” Richa-rd asked.
“You know, hanging out as usual,” Paul responded.
“Oh, I see,” Richa-rd replied.
He proceeded to his locker and brou-ght the remaining food he cooked before going to Professor Grace’s house. He sat by the edge of his be-d and he ate it together with Paul.
After they were done eating, Richa-rd proceeded to take his books and l@pt©p for his night studies. When Paul saw him leaving the room, he ran after him.
“Where will you studying today?” Paul asked.
“In one of the theatres over there,” he pointed the direction of some lecture theatres that were little bit further from them.
“You go first, let me go and take care of something,” Paul said as he tried to change the direction of walking.
“You lied to me about your result,” Richa-rd said when Paul was about to leave.
“Who was the hypocrite that told you?” Paul asked angrily.
“It doesn’t matter who told me, what matters right now is that I was completely disheartened when I saw your actual result. Where do you think you can go with a result of 0.5 G.P.A? Imagine even Lydia having a better result than yours,” Richa-rd said referring to the girl everyone thought was the weakest in the dep@rtment.
Paul kept quiet without mentioning a word.
“You better sit up since this is just the beginning of the second semester. I won’t f0rç£ you to take my advise, but as your friend, I must tell you the truth,” Richa-rd adviced. “
Thanks for the advice, I will try and change,” Paul answered.
“I’m glad you appreciate it,” Richa-rd replied.
