" you see, just call her Debra, don't stress it " I pointed out, again she smiled.
" can you drive? "I asked
" not really "
" I can teach you someday that's if you would change from your formal ways sha " I was surprised I said so.
" aww, thank you, that would be nice but I will change on one condition "
" So church girls make deals too? " I teased
She laughed "have you accepted God as your Lord and personal Saviour"
The question threw me off guard as I almost hit a tree. "blood of Jesus" she muttered.
"why the sudden change of subject? "I queried.
" i just want to know "
" well, I give my life to Christ every Sunday , so what's up? I'm not entirely a bad girl " I felt guilty already.
" I'm sorry if you think I'm judging but I want to make
Times passed and I knew I had gotten so attached to Timi. I couldn't explain it but he was always there for me.He'd sometimes go to work for almost a whole week before returning back to Emeka's place. It was quite a distance but the selfish part of me didn't care.Rona made it a point of duty to always condemn me for having a boyfriend while parading myself with Timi either going sight seeing or hanging out with him.I consoled myself by reminding myself that Timi was just a friend and nothing special was attached to it.Whenever Derrick called me and we have our typical one hour+ conversation, my heart would bleed and wished he was around me and I could see his face and be rest assured that he is mine and not Timi. I didn't want to accept that I had something for Timi, I just felt like he was a best friend or something.There were times when Timi and I would get into silly fights like why I choose to
I had to get my hair and nails done. Timi offered to accompany me there and pay for it. I agreed.While the hair dresser made my hair, Timi and I talked."so you're trying to say she's heart broken? "he asked again still not understanding what happened to Aisha." well, yes "" but you said she claimed not to love the Kazeem guy.." he queried"yes, she didn't entirely like Hakeem... HAAA-KEEM "I explained, deliberately stressing the name. The hair lady forcefully turned my head to the right as I was looking at Timi." excuse me, can you go easy on her? Thank you" Timi firmly says to the lady. She apologised and continued with what she was doing."honestly, if I didn't like you ehhn, I wouldn't consider ever associating myself with the type of friends you have, you girls are as dramatic as the Kardashians "I
My life was going fine.Apart from the stress of attending classes, Rona's continuous pestering on me to go to church, Aisha's mood swings, Debra's occasional tantrums... Life was good.Timi had gone back home and it's been a month I last saw him. I thought I would die but Rona's pestering would be enough to bring me back to life."can you girls come with me to church? "" Debra, you have a nice voice, why don't you join the choir "" come, let's have a minute of prayer "" Do you know God is a great God! "" I believe you know Jesus is the way, the truth and the life "" can you speak in tongues? "Aisha would always scream at Rona.One day, when Rona started her usual bugging.Debra who was having this severe headache turned to her and asked "would you mind going to club with us tonight?"&
Cora'S POVI had this school work I was working on and after successfully get through the typing on my laptop, I had to go and print it out in the school's cafe.I walked to the cafe since it wasn't that far from our hostel."yeah, so I'll like to print out something" I say to the cafe guy.I gave him my flash and showed him the file I wanted him to help me print.As he worked on it, I sat down on a chair and then brought out my phone to keep myself busy.Timi hadn't sent a text or even called, he told me he would so busy this particular day.I turned my attention from my phone to the little gathering that formed at the cafe's door.What was happening?I was tempted to stand up and check but I was engrossed one of Timi Dakolo's video, his voice is just so amazing.I smiled remembering how Timi said I was a fan of Tim
I successfully came out of the pool, obviously panicking."where are you going to? " Debra asked as she also came out." we should go and meet her, at least help her " I turned to say." why would you even believe such thing? You know what Jenny and Olivia are capable of doing " Aisha frowned.I picked up my towel " Jenny was crying, she was obviously frightened by what Olivia was trying to do and besides, I told you the other day that Olivia fainted in the cafe "" you know what? I think you girls should go and check on her.... " Timi suggested. Rona nodded in agreement and we finally left to change out of our suits back to something dry." do you need me to come with you "Timi asked" no, I've stressed you like way too much, you should stay back "He nodded as he picked up his things, Emeka joined him.
What was Derrick doing in school that he didn't bother calling to tell me?I picked up my phone and angrily called him. He picked on the second ring."what? No" he instantly denied after I asked why he came to the school without informing me."are you now saying my friend is a liar? "" Benita, I didn't say that " he answered softly" then say something " I replied." I came to your school, yes.. But it was to see a guy of mine, I actually planned on surprising you babe " he explained slowly." ohh "" you see, you just yelled at me for nothing " I could tell he was frowning." I'm so sorry " I begged." it's fine, so where are you? I'd like to see you today "I started coughing. Who would he like to see? I was far away from school like really far and
"you bastard!" I yelled at Derrick."why did you have to kiss me?" I was glad we were outside."are you trying to break up with me? " he asked." yes... Initially, I was trying to put this in the nicest way possible but now you just changed my mind, we are done, like done! " I hissed.I had to go after Timi, it felt odd because he was the one always running after me.I was confused and crying at the same time." leave me alone " I screamed at Derrick as he came to pull my hand." so it's this Timi guy now? " he smirked." do you even know what you're doing? You barely know him, how can you just decide to date a random guy you met on Facebook? "" he's not a random guy, he understands me better than you do... I don't even know why I'm explaining myself to you, leave me alone ".I stopped a bike and rushed to get on.
"Aisha can you help me with my hair" Rona asked."why, why, why? Get someone else to do it for you! "Aisha fired." ohh, sorry " Rona apologised." aww, Aisha you just hurt Rona's feelings " I pointed.Aisha turned to look at Rona, she was at a far corner, bible in her hand, slowly reading." I used to think Rona can never get hurt in that way " Debra whispered." she's human after all" I shrugged.I watched Aisha stand up and walk over to Rona, smiling she asked "which hair style would you prefer, all back or Bob Marley?""no, I'm fine, I shouldn't have bothered you "" don't be silly, come, let me make your hair " Aisha pushed. Rona smiled and finally followed Aisha back to her bed." so Aisha, what do you know about humility? " Rona asked as Aisha started making her ha
