CHAPTER TWO
Peter’s POV

I left the lecture Hall in an elated mood since I defied all odds to successfully attend the class and was included in the attendance for the first time. Few yards away from the Hall I met my hostel mate, Silas who was at the relaxation center.

I walked up to him and asked why he failed to call me before leaving that morning. “ my guy no vex abeg, me self wake late I no to call you”(don’t be offended, I also woke late, so I barely had time to call you). He replied, I was not satisfied with that response and asked that he get me something to eat before he would be forgiven.


“ you self you too like food abeg” (you are a glutton), he said grinning.‘ see this one, why you dey smile like goat way see salt lick, shey na because of food you de whine me like say u self no like Food’ ( why are you smiling sheepishly? You are also guilty, so we are
both Gluttons) I replied him We soon left the faculty, and took the tarred road that led to the fast food, We continued walking in silent and was close to the fast food when he broke the silence,
“ so your girlfriend reserved a seat for you today”
Who do you mean I inquired
That fair lady you sat with during Lecture. He said, We all know her around the faculty she’s so
full of her self, always thinking that others are inferior to her. Do you know that I even approached
her earlier and inquired if there was space since I could only see her bag on the seat but she bluntly refused

I really don’t know why but unlike me I beckon on him, when he saw me he was taken aback and I blushed really hard.

I was trying so hard to compose my self, because I just kept having butterfly feelings in my stomach and my blush was so obvious.

He came in and sat in between myself and Erica, my roomie. I was deep in thoughts and didn’t hear what he was saying, his countenance changed since he had the impression that I purposely ignored him.

Before I could apologize for that the Lecturer entered, Oh! why did he have to come back now I thought , he only came to take attendance for the day.

After penning down my name and matriculation number, I looked to see if I will see my prince charming but couldn’t find him, Erica dragged me outside, urging that we pay a visit to the eatery I left reluctantly wondering where he disappeared to .

Stella's POV

It was another Monday and as usual we had the “Devil incarnate” Dr Hassan, I really hated His
Class. Am not a Biochemistry Student, but we in Microbiology department had to offer
Enzymology which was the course of Dr Hassan as an Elective course in 300 level.

I always
wondered why the management made it compulsory that we offer that elective course, for the past
4 weeks I‘ve been attending, I can’t seem to fathom what he keeps saying. I was only attending
the class to be included in his so dreaded “List of life” so that I would be eligible to write his
exams.

On that particular day, I was so reluctant to attend thanks to the club I attended, I came back
to the Hostel by 2 am and was still sleepy when my roommate Erica, woke me to get ready for
class. I looked at the time and it was already six in the morning, I had barely slept.

I sluggishly had
my bath and only applied white powder and red lip stick. We got to the Lecture Hall early and
secured seats. I placed my bag on the seat between myself and Erica, as I didn’t want any
inconvenience.

The Lecturer came in shortly and had to leave immediately. I wished that he would
become engaged and cancel the class so that I can go back Home to sleep.
I decided to listen to music since I was already getting bored and the Hall became noisy due to
many clattering from students.
Students started to sneak inside since the man was not around. I noticed one who was really cute,
he kept looking in all direction for a seat. He was dark skinned, slim and tall about 6 ft 1 inch tall.

He wore a patterned long sleeve and a Black Chinos tro. He looked frustrated as he couldn’t
find any vacant seat and had a pitiful face, he had the exact look as a little puppy seeking for its
owner.

He was walking towards my direction since he settled to stand at the back.

I concluded on ing those standing and was walking towards the back of the Hall when I heard
a soft melodious voice
“come over here there is space”

I looked over to where I heard the voice and was stunned for a minute, the melodious voice was
from a lady, that was nothing short of perfection. She was light skinned with a very beautiful face,
she had an ebony wig on her head with an airpod on her left ear.

I walked in a brisk manner to
where she was sitting and she took her handbag that was on the seat and gestured that I entered, I
was then sandwiched by her at the extreme and another lady by the right.
I thanked her for her kind gesture and asked after the Lecturer but was surprised when she didn’t
respond to me. I asked the lady by the right who told me that Dr Hassan came into the class as
usual but received a call by the Dean of Students immediately he entered and had to harken to his
call.

Within a short while the lecturer entered and was surprised to meet the hall filled with Students,
he frowned and asked those standing to immediately vacate the Hall, I was really glad that I was
already seated else I would have ed those leaving the class.

The lecture was very brief for reason best known to the Lecturer. He asked the course
representative to carry out the usual head count before ing the attendance sheet, I was so happy
that I was able to write my name on one of his attendance list.

I tried to see if I could locate my savior and thanked her once again but I discovered that she had
mysteriously disappeared I shrugged my shoulder and left since I had no more Lecture for that

See if you no wan go again better come down” the man angrily responded ( if you are not
comfortable with my present speed kindly alight).
I kept glancing nervously at my watch throughout the journey to the campus gate, after what was
like forever we finally arrived at the campus gate.

I quickly paid him the usual #100 fee and started
going, he called me back, I didn’t answer him but carried on since I was already running late, until
he shouted
“ you don forget your change oo” ( hey you haven’t taken your change)
That was when it dawned on me that I had given him #500 instead of #100. I thanked him
immensely and ran as though I was been chased by a mad dog.
I checked my time and I saw that it was already 8:10 am, at that point I felt like crying, how am I
supposed to cope if I miss 6 of Dr Hassan’s class! .

I walked to the campus shuttle Bus stop and
luckily there was a bus waiting for just one enger. I paid and entered, I kept praying silently
for a miracle to happen so I don’t miss the class.
The bus stopped at the Faculty of Natural Science, I alighted and walked to the Department of
Biochemistry and just as I expected I sighted Dr Hassan’s Prado Jeep at the Faculty’s Parking Lot,
which meant that he was already around would probably be in class already.

I walked to the
departmental Lecture Hall and was surprised to hear noise coming from there, as I got close I saw
the side doors opened and entered not minding the consequence of my action.
To my complete amazement, the Hall was devoid of any lecturer but the course code was boldly
written on the board.

I scanned through if I could see any place to sit, but couldn’t find any since
the class was crowded which was rather surprising, since I heard that his class was always scanty,
because most people can’t make it to class before him and would have the doors shut to them

CHAPTER ONE

I woke up that Monday morning, stretched myself on the Bed and yawned in a tired manner. I had
the strong desire to remain in bed all through the day, but ed that it was Monday morning
already, I hate Mondays with ion.

I wished that there were no lectures on Mondays, I was
really reluctant to stand, when I suddenly ed that we always had Dr Hassan by 8am, he
always come to class and lock the door immediately it was five minutes past eight (8:05).

I looked
at the time and discovered that it was already 7:40am. I sprang from the Bed in a flash and dashed
into the bathroom, I cursed my course mate Silas who stayed in the same hostel with me for failing
to wake me. Dr Hassan’s class wasn’t one to joke with.

The man is extremely strict with his
attendance as he always instruct the course rep to carry out a head count before ing the
attendance sheet, after the class he ensures that the names on the list corresponds to the initial
number counted. He collates the information from these attendance sheets and produce a list of
those to write his exam, once your name is not included in his list which he popularly called the
“list of life”, then writing the exam is a futile effort as you would definitely carry it over to the
next session.

I had a hurried bath and in no time I was set to leave, I checked the time and it was
7:50am meaning I had about 15 minutes left. I locked my door and moved quickly towards the
main road, as luck would have it I saw a free bike and flagged it down. Campus gate I told him
and hopped on without even bothering to haggle the price.

I kept praying silently that I should be
allowed to enter the class since I had already missed 5 of Dr Hassan classes, so I couldn’t afford
to miss any other. The Bike seemed to be moving at snail speed much to my displeasure.
‘ Oga do quick na, why you just dey move like say dem dey push your bike’ ( pls hurry up, you
are too slow), I told him.

She was one of the most attractive girl on campus, one sort by virtually all the guys. She turned all offer down as she was not a fan of Campus relationship, all this was about to change when she met him, he seemed to be the perfect match for her, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t stop thinking of him, seemed as though she was suddenly struck hard by Cupid, as her heart kept yearning for him.

All seemed to go fine until, the test of true love came, find out if their love was able to withstand the challenge
