Bareness

🌳BARENESS🌳🌳 EPISODE 2 🌳

I got admission into Stella maris University (Monserrado) to study Mass Communication on a four-year course.

My departure from Daniel was painful, but it was expedient. My first three months at school were like I was in another world without Daniel.

My loneliness didn’t last for too long before I met Stella. Stella was a very brilliant student, charming and lovely. She was one of the best students in my class.

We got attracted to each other because of her humility and simplicity. I have never seen a lady so brilliant and pretty and still humble the way Stella was.

The only problem with my friend is that she doesn’t know how to say no to proposals from guys. I became her savior when I came into her life, as I had to help her turn down some casual proposals from some casual guys.

Guys were flocking around her because she had what it takes for any man to want to d!e for her. Before I met her, she had already dated two guys in the same department just barely four months after entering school.

When our first semester results were released, Stella had one of the highest GPAs. Only one guy was ahead of her. The result made Sally more popular than before.

Our friendship was cut short by the semester’s break that lasted for about a month. By the time we resumed for the second semester, we agreed to live together off campus.

We took an apartment room outside the campus and life began on a new note. How Stella was able to combine her academic work together with her numerous male friends and still came out with a strong 2.1 still remains a mystery.

I knew I could not compare myself with Stella if I had to graduate from school. I concentrated on my books while Stella gave better of her times to men.

Before we finished second semester, Stella had already had two D&Cs, while I was still a virgin. All this never affected her grades or performance in school.

Stella never stayed with a guy for more than two months. She changed them, like clothes and shoes. She came back home one day drunk and almost half naked.

‘Stella, where are you coming from?’ I asked, but she did not reply a word. She managed to get herself into the bathroom for a shower. I joined her in the bathroom to find out what had happened to my friend.

Her hair, her t0rn pants and stains all over her body made me deduce that my friend had been drugged and r***d. Who did this to you, Stella? I asked, she never altered a word to tell me what had happened to her. But it was obvious.

I became afraid of Stella because of her prosecution and waywardness. I was afraid she was going to contact an incurable disease someday as she jumped from one guy to the other.

Lecturers were not spared by Stella. She was also good at snatching people’s boyfriends. By the time we got to 300level I made up my mind not to stay together with Stella again because of her lifestyle, but she wouldn’t let me leave.

‘You’re the only true friend I have on this campus, you still tell me the truth even when I am not taking your advice. What will now be of me if people like you are no longer in my life to help correct my excesses?’ She said to me when I broke the news to her of my intention to stay on my own that semester.

Her words touched me and I gave my conditions if I have to stay together with her. ‘Condition one is that you must not have two boyfriends at a time.

Condition two is that you must always follow me to church anytime I am going.’ She crossed her heart and accepted my condition. Stella was having an abortion on the weekend. This will be the 5th abortion she will be doing in three years.

I began to fear her future. How will she be able to give birth when she’s married? I asked myself. This last ab0rtion was not fun as she bled for almost two ws

Stella almost d!ed but we couldn’t seek help because we couldn’t tell people she just had an abortion. I thought this experience would teach her a lesson, but I was wrong. She seemed bewildered after that incident.

‘ Stella! We’ve got a special guest pastor from Sierra Leone. He has been around for the past two days and today is the last day he will be with us. I would like you to come with me to the church to be part of the blessing of today.

I will go with you if you will promise me we will close, or I can leave by 7pm because I have an important appointment at 7:30pm. I quickly accepted her condition. At least she will be in the church.

The guest speaker hadn’t even started his sermon when Stella looked into my eyes. Of course, I knew what that meant. Before I could say anything, she had picked up her bag and was gone.

I tried to see her off, but she was in a hurry, so I let her be. I got home by 9:05 and met Stella with two guys on our bed. They were...
