699 Words
Sunday came,Morning passed, Afternoon passed,and then came evening my uncle finally came to pick me up for school and so I packed my ready for what I was about to go through in this hectic school and I’m sure I’d over come it by the end.
My name is Gold Columbus and I’m a Nigerian this is my story,after entering the school gate I really thought I was ready for what was about to come but everything was proved wrong. On the day I got to my lodge I started unpacking to arrange my things in the right place. My uncle waved me goodbye to because it was getting late already… The next day came and I was waiting for my roommate arrival when she came I was happy cause I’d not be alone,to be honest coming to this school was never the plan I was supposed to go to Canada with my mom when her visa comes out but it didn’t come out on time so I had to go with plan B. After I settled down completely the week passed gradually and then came Monday,the day I could finally start lectures everything was still so surreal but it was a reality at first I never really wanted to make any friends in my uni but then when I was on a call with my mom she encouraged me to do so,the next day when I went for lectures I still didn’t decide to make friends with anybody but unluckily for me the girl(Vanessa)sitting beside me was in my department so I just had to because she initiated the conversation afterwards we became friends,we started going for lectures together,doing some of our clearance together too and everything else together then came a week on which I contested for Wednesday women something in my faculty and then I won I still hadn’t made any other friends after Vanessa so after that I became popular to some extent because I could just be on my own and someone would come to say hello to me and also call my name too so from then on I started loosening up and started trying to be social by talking to random people which I had nothing to do with,then came a day when I received a text from an unknown number at first I really wanted to ignore the text but I didn’t but I surely replied rudely.
I was pretty occupied during my first year, I was in the choir department in the church I attended, I had rehearsals for the contest I applied for on which I go everyday and lectures which I go for very early as early as 6:00am I didn’t have any free time on my schedule too so it was hectic for me I got tired at everything at some point because the only time I had to text was in the night. On another night the text came in again and we started texting and vibing then he told me who he was but before then I already guessed he was going to be the one and then I was a little excited that he was the one not that I had a crush on him but I really wanted to be friends with him but I didn’t know how to go about it so yh I was excited he texted me first. After that he introduced himself properly and his name was Jayson he was tall and fair. Not really my type because he was fair so I said nothing could go wrong
The day of my pageantry was getting close so I started selling my tickets and preparing all the things I’d need for the D-day and that was when I met a friend named faith. I and faith became very close closer than the Vanessa. But even at that faith and Vanessa helped me through my tickets sales with a girl named Mitchelle and so we basically became close after that because I really love supportive people then the D-day finally arrived, I was prepared but a bit scared of the crowd I was about to face but I knew I’d overcome.
