Heartbeat

HIIIIIIIIII Angeelsss, so am starting this book and am soo excited.... Am a Nigerian, English is not my first language, so please pardon any errors, I'll try not to make any... You are going to see some slangs in my book, so if you don't understand any pls do well to tell me in the comments section. EKEOMA PIONT OF VIEW I stared at the inscribed words on the wall of our lecture hall "without knowledge,what is man but a savage..." It's as fascinating as the 189 times I've read that writing, don't get me wrong I have no emotional attachment to the writing whatsoever, to me I think it's just another smartass words from a motivational speaker, to impress us the " beginners" I was startled by the voice the lecturer, prof Ken " All S is P, which is the A proposition and No S is P which is the E proposition are contraries, which is to say that they cannot both be true, but they might both be false, if the truth of either one entails that the other is..." Yep your guess is right, this is the reason I zoned out in the first place, at this point I have no idea of what he is going on about, don't get me wrong, am pretty smart, brilliant even, yep I can boast of that. today is just not going down well with me. My short wig was already itching my neck, this is the moment where I regret wearing the wig in the first place, I mean I have perfectly long hair, plaited in a weaving, I sighed as I thought of how comfortable I would have been without the damn wig, I made a made a mental note to immediately discard the wig the moment I get to my hostel, it was soo hot this afternoon and my white long sleeves was not helping the situation, I think am starting to get a headache, why does he keep repeating the same thing ughh!! Someone yawned, Well it seemed like am not the only one whose drained already, Prof Ken seemed to analyze our situation and asked the billion dollar question "Are you guys tired" "YES SIR!!!" Lanku literally shouted, oh boy am pretty sure he never meant it to come out so loud, he has a really deep bass, for a young man , we all laughed, The lecturer chucked lowly " Well I'll leave you guys to rest, I understand you are still in your first year, but in due time it will fall into place, alright that's the end of the class bye" I don't think I've ever been this relieved in my entire life as he packed his books and left our class, followed by noises from my course mates, I quickly stacked my few books inside my bag and stumbled out of the classroom, in a haste to leave the hell hole of a lecture hall, God! I was soo hungry, I couldn't wait to get home, and get out of this school uniform Yep don't be startled, am 100 level Nigerian law student, if you know how we dress then there is no need for explanation, and pretty much not the type to break laws, that is to say every single thing written in the LAWSAN constitution I obey it, and trust me it's a hassle... Aghh.. I can't wait to take a shower, and cool off, I sigh as I think about the feeling I'll get as the cold water cascade down my body and... " What are you thinking so hard about" I jumped from the unknown yet familiar voice, "Aisssh" I screamed in a Korean accent, did I mention my love for Koreans, BTS to be prescise, well I guess that's a discussion for another time, ok back to the topic The distraction near me is none other than my annoying best friend Joshua; quiet guy, pretty laid back most of the time, he has brown tanned skin just like me but pitch black eyes, always on low cut , maintaining the cool guy look, but there's nothing cool about this guy's brains, dude's a machine, am literally not exaggerating this, he never gets tired, am pretty sure he enjoyed prof Ken class up until he left the class, and had noticed my uneasiness before now, Yep he's here to rub it on my face " I saw the way you were staring at the ceiling and sweating like a Christmas goat, e remain make u shout, oga go naw!" I stared at him as he laughed at my obvious misery, I gave him a death glare " do you really want to die so badly, because am going to stab you if you mention that again" He raised his hands in mock surrender, chuckling under his breath " Sorry Ma" I rolled my eyes at his cheeky face and continued down the hallway, with the sole purpose of getting to my dorm room, and finally resting " Don't forget to come for CLASFON fellowship this evening, I look for you and you will do that Barr Nwangene assignment on your own" He shouted after me I quickly waved him off, that err-looking man is the last thing I want to think about right now, but I know he was right, no matter how annoying I find him, if I don't learn those cases and memorize their facts and issues, then am royally screwed I sighed, whatever, I'll take care of that one during night class today, for now let's just focus on getting home, I went out of the faculty building, to be welcomed by a bright atmosphere, okay too bright for my liking, Aisssh!! am beginning to think the sun have something against me today, that's the only explanation of why it's blazing this hot when I want to go home, this is enough to fry someone that's not used to Nigeria, I mean maybe a foreigner, but thankfully am a Nigerian and am used to it. * Just a quick perk, as a Nigerian you adapt quickly to any situation, emphasis on the ANY, like oh boy These people are literally...* Okay okay I know I know am going off topic, sorry bad habit... Anyway I got home unscathed. ____________________________ "But which do you prefer, being fried or eaten raw..." "Fried" "Wait what...why would you ask that, it's weird and scary" "No I think it's eaten raw, it's better than being fried " The reason why my roommates are arguing about an easier way to die, yet giving only two horrible options, is what I don't understand, and for that they actually woke me up from my sleep, I can't go back to sleep again, I don't have strength to stand up either, I just lay on the top bunk staring lazily at them "Either way, both are bad and unfavorable" Chama mentioned, shuddering at the mere thought, she can't handle horror, but still engages in toxic conversation and later on complains about how she can't get the gore image out of her head, and just for the record, she's the only one like that, My other roommates are weird freaks They enjoy horror and gore scene movies, Rijii literally laughs all the time she is seeing a psycho drama. "So V, since your awake, which do you prefer, Fried or eaten raw " My middle name is Vienna, weird right?? So they call me V " Both" I replied getting out of the bed, they all looked at me crazy... Oh did I mention am the weirdest one among them, yep but not a freaky-crazy kinda person, I guess Because am a Christian, yeah like core christian, I don't watch all horror dramas... " Why" They all asked, I just shrugged, while walking out, "Why would you eat a meat, without frying it, tsk.. the killer we definitely have a hard time, so if he asked me first, I'll tell him to fry before eating, it's basic sense" I said as a matter of factly " Seriously " I heard a voice at the door, oh it's Joshua " Of course, I mean you die either way, so why not give the advice and do one good deed before dieing" They were staring at me like I was crazy, even I think am crazy at this point. "Oh Joshua is it time for night class already, I just woke up, what's the time anyway " "It's already 9:00pm, and stop dragging your leg, you are not pregnant Classes has started already" "Yehenyenyeh, no stress me abeg I don dress finish, u get my book baa Mey we dey go Joo" " Guys am leaving, see you tomorrow, bye" " But come to think of it, I think she's right about the both" "Oh shut up, that's just her weird-wired brain talking" I bid them goodbye, while some of them are still arguing. We got to class to find Chiugo already wiping the board for starting, we went to the back row and start bringing out our books for study, our second semester exams was highly approaching, so everyone was kinda trying to make ends meet at this point, well except for James, the fair- looking jock in our class, he's so busy with a girl at the back, talking and Laughing like he's going to marry her the next day, I want to grab his handsome face and drag it on the cement wall behind him, yep not denying his good looking, dude must have exchanged his brain cells for the good looks, cuz his dumb like... " Can you stop glaring at James, he's going to get the wrong idea and think your actually interested in him" Josh interrupted my thoughts " Oh please I rather push needles in my eyes, than have anything to do with him" He just chuckled and brought out a paper, " Ughm... This is a Scholarship form to Cambridge university in UK , my dad asked me to apply, so I brought two, you can apply as well, let's write the exam "cuz me ma sef I no understand naija sef, the way things dey increase eh.. I fear oo" " It's Cambridge, it's not going to be easy oo" "I know shaa but I trust you naa, your brain dey hot" "Abi" I reply playfully leaning on him while patting my chest, in a mock boast, " I am the lord's beloved, so nothing is going to shake me, I will write this exam and scatter it, nothing fit shake me" He laughed, raising his head up, " Ok the love birds at the back, can you seperate, for a little while Joshua can you come and interpret this statute" Joshua quickly stood up while laughing " Oh believe me she's not girlfriend material " " Wait Josh if I catch you ehh..." The whole class burst out in laughter. _________________________________ Finally I finished the first chapter, Phew... am going to be updating more long chapters from now on, Soooo Thoughts.......
