What are u not telling me Fred I ask looking straight into his eyes making sure he wasn't lying, you know he began, scratching his hair with his fingers, this babe, is my new catch in a long while, and she hold wella(she have plenty money), and I told her how poor I am and if care is not taken I might be dropping out of school, and I could see in her eyes that this girl fell for it, she felt pity for me and promise to help me, you see Steve this is a one time opportunity, you wouldn't want me to blow it up or would you he ask with his mouth puff up waiting for a reply, what in Gods name did this lady see in this guy, well as they say there is always a lady for every man I thought .. I am waiting he said jacking me from my thought, Fred sincerely what you are asking of me is hard and moreover this is big time fraud, feigning what you are not I said praying he let go of this issue, I don't want to be involve in any fraudulent act, in fact I wasn't raised up in that way I said, Steve come on man, you would not want me to use my well sophisticated room and blowing my cover of a well earned money, would you, please help a brother he said again,this time I knew I had no choice, chances of me winning this debate is slim and moreover Fred wouldn't take no for an answer I thought resting my head on my pillow made of my used trousers ..
Steve if it is money you want, I will definitely settle you, afar I go give you 5k( I will give you #5,000) he said smiley mischievously, fine I said getting tired of his pressure, and you can keep your 419 money I said turning to the other side of the bed trying to catch a glimpse of the sleep he distorted. you mean I should not bother with the 5k, I own you man,.make I go call her sharp sharp(let me quickly call her) he said almost running out of the room.
The second semester of my first
year went smoothly so also the relationship between Vivian and i, I can tell people were getting to notice, I don't care and I never will, only If i had friends that would draw my ear sounding the bell of warning like those big bell you see in a catholic church, maybe this spell of trouble might be adverted, I was there smiley like a chick muck and feeling so high fly where as the devil was in a corner busy preparing a meal of pain, salted with tears and seasoned with regrets, cooked with the furnace of trouble gently stirred by the spoon of hate, I bet it was a meal of the century.
I and Vivian hanged out a lot, especially when there were lecture free periods, she would go as far as holding my hand when going for the next class not minding whoever was looking and I equally enjoyed the show, this was the first time I have ever felt loved, apart from that of my mother and my little sister, I never thought someone could love a boy from a poor background like me, and yet this love was different I could feel it deep down my soul, she supported me in all ways she could involving my tuition fees and all others and yet I could not bring myself to tell her how I feel, probably that was for the better.
last semester exam came bashing in without knocking or sound of warning, probably because I was too deep in love, but still I was an ardent reader, I studied my books to all fullness and also helped Vivian top up her academics work, the exam came and went like the full blown harmattan season leaving some persons lip dry and some wet, some liking the coldness why some hating it, some liking the dryness and some detest it, in which way I knew I was gonna top my class not because I was believing on God alone but because I knew I read and answered question correctly.
The first semester of my 200 level was in full wave, lectures commencement was slow and that gave I and Vivian room to hang out the more. One day I was in the school pavilion resting my nerves reading a book title "TROUBLE IN CAPE TOWN" BY Imasuen J. Emmanuel when a call came into my phone from Vivian telling me to run to the department that results had been posted, I arrange myself and walked down to the department with full confident, Vivian I called on sighting her, she beckon on me to come,I guess that was were they posted it, the look on her face portray sadness I instantly knew something was wrong, what the matter Vivian I ask with my heart beating fast, she pointed to the notice board that as been well stricken with age, this was the first blow of my miserable life I hurriedly trace my MAT NO with my fingers, I could not believe what I saw, I trace it again, still end up in the same messed up result, how the hell did I end up with 4 carry over's, this can't be my result, I hurried down to prof Edene Smith for answers with Vivian following behind, I knew there was something with this man because he never liked me,.always looking for opportunities to show it, and I never care, I always thought as long as I study I have no issue, now I have one, i headed to his office because he was the head of two of the courses and the other two was also headed by is right hand man Dr koju Imiere.
I gently knock on his office door, tho I wanted so much to pull it down, but who am i, this man can pull strings that will take me out of this school, come in i heard, that was exactly the voice i was expecting, a narrow tiny voice, that can easily be mistake for a woman in her prime, leaving Vivian at the door, how may I help you he said looking down on me like i was called for questioning for something i did not do, sir, results had just been release and I failed your courses sir, I want to know why sir, I ask trying to compose myself, he redirected his bugging eyes on what he was doing, pushing his eye glass with his age striking middle finger, waited for some seconds, clears his throat, you failed right he ask not expecting a reply, then go and right it again, dropping a bomb shell. Sir I can't, I politely say, my test was on a high side scoring 28/30 the highest in my class, I see no reason why I would not do well in your exam, moreover i would love to see my exam script I said, oh you want to be authoritative he said taking off his glass, no sir I quickly reply, nonsense he spat out putting on his eye glass and continued with his work, sir I really would love to know what happened I said, he took off his eye glass again as if he had problem with it, this time putting it on is table,.you want to know the reason you failed he ask again, yes I replied, that is what you get when you stepped on the shoes of those higher than you, he said leaving my mouth wide open with surprise ....
