MY RIDE OR DIE

CHAPTER 5 ( My Reality )

My girls and I are now in final year second semester. Few months to graduate. I woke up thinking about Dr. Charles, who stopped his threats all of a sudden. He now walk pass me like he has never seen me before and My ACC 3101 result didn't reflect after it was pasted and I went to my exam officer to confirm what the problem was and he said ' don't worry, my attention has already been drawn to it and I will fix it as soon as possible '.I believe that is grace, I said to myself.

Our last examination is now over and I have always wanted Prof. Ego to be the first to sign on my shirt. I ran to his office quickly so no one takes this opportunity. Good afternoon sir, please be the first to sign on my shirt, I said. Do I look like am interested in signing on your shirt? he asked without a flinch.

sir, please it means a lot to me, I said trying to hide my tears. Adaeze, please leave, he said. I can't explain what I felt but it hurts. sir why are you always cold towards me? maybe because am your student but in few weeks I will no longer be your student, I have waited,I have kept myself, I listened to your voice everyday and I always come to your office everyday so that I can sleep well at night. You know am in love with you and I know you feel the same for me then why are you so bitter and distant? I broke down in tears. You are my student Adaeze and nothing can change that, he said in a much more cold voice. Sir my name is Torn and not Adaeze. Maybe I have lived in my imagination more than my reality, I said and walked home.

It's 2 weeks and I still feel like my world has collapsed. Only God knows my performance during project defence because I haven't been myself and I can't tell anyone how I really feel. After submitting my project hard copy, I was about leaving the general entrance and I bumped into Prof. Ego. Adaeze, we need to talk, he said in a very calm voice. I froze.
