MY FIRST DAY IN THE UNIVERSITY

I MET RITA (chapter three)

MET RITA

As I went to morning lecture , they were many students, standing in front of the lecture hall, I tried to ask them question, why are they standing, where lecturer it's in the class teaching,,but I couldn't, I went straight to the class..

The lecture was so complicating, I noticed that the lecturer was coming close to me, I was afraid..

He asked me questions based on what he's teaching..

I didn't get the answer..

He said to me? Are you in 300l

I said, No sir I'm in 100l

So why are you in this class? He said..

Sir I thought this is our course code ..

"Freshers don't worry as time goes on, you will understand.."

I had announcement, freshers to proceed on orientation ground, our matriculation, it's coming in six days time..

I made my way to the orientation session, trying to absorb as much information as possible while also trying to navigate the maze of hallways and classrooms. Just when I thought I was hopelessly lost, a voice called out to me.

"Hey, are you new here?" a girl with kind eyes and a warm smile asked.

I tried not to answer her, because I was thought to be careful in the university.

I nodded, grateful for her friendly presence amidst the chaos of the first day. She introduced herself as rita and offered to show me around the campus. As we walked and talked, I found myself drawn to her easygoing nature and genuine interest in getting to know me.

I came realizing that Rita, it's very intelligent, the way she speak good English,,

I asked her? What's your department?

I'm in MBBS! She said.

I don't understand what you mean by MBBS?

Are you in 100 level

Okay I'm in department of medicine and surgery..she said

Nice to meet you, I said

You too.. (replied )

We ended up spending the entire day together, attending various orientation activities and exploring the campus. With rita by my side, the overwhelming sense of being a small fish in a big pond faded away, replaced by a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

As the day drew to a close, rita hesitated for a moment before shyly admitting,

"I've really enjoyed spending time with you today. Your story, your cruise, everything,, thank you ,

Can you come to my hostel, so that we can go lecture together? She said

No my lecture hall and your lecture hall, it's not in same location, besides my lecture schedules and your it's not the same: I replied

She nodded her head, alright no prob, bye ..

My heart skipped a beat at her unexpected confession. Could this be the start of something special? I smiled and agreed, feeling a rush of excitement at the prospect of getting to know rita better outside of the university.

Little did I know that our meeting was not just a stroke of luck, but the beginning of a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, challenges and triumphs, and, most importantly..
