Wait first, Fly! Exclaimed Chewing, stretching his turkey neck to see something which was faraway well. The two friends had just finished attending morning lectures. They were standing under a palm tree thinking of how to get food to eat that morning.
Chewing now walked out of the shade going to meet what he was seeing. Where are you going? To rob food? Fly asked. Fly, are you not seeing what i am seeing? Chewing asked. What are you seeing? Fly retorted. Is that not Otega walking like a Kangaroo. Chewing said. Where is he? Fly asked, looking at all directions like a child in a university building. Don't be stupid. Look like a normal human being. Chewing said. That is him there, going that way, are you not seeing that guy on a green t.shirt and black boxer, it's him. It's him o! He's back! Fly said. Let's go and meet him jor! Did you do what he told you to do for him? Chewing asked. It is you that he told o. Fly said. Was it me? Chewing asked himself. Fly said, Let's go. And started running towards him. Chewing screamed, Wait for me na! As he picked up his bag from the ground, dusted it and ran after Fly. Fly ran down to Otega, who was walking to the admission block.
One day school, one day home student, are you back? Fly asked, breathing heavily, as he caught up with Otega. No, i am front. Otega said, and asked, Fly, how you doing? I'm fine. Fly said. Where is Chewing? Otega asked. I'm here! Chewing arrived. So, what is happening na, i hope they've not write test o. Otega said. No, they've not. Fly replied. But they are about to. Chewing said. When? Otega asked. Tomorrow. Fly said. Thank God you came before time. Chewing said. What did i miss guys? Otega asked. Nothing! Fly said. Shut up! Chewing shouted. You know nothing, that is why you are saying he missed nothing. See Otega, let me tell you, you did not only miss nothing but many things. Many things like what? Otega asked. Lectures! Chewing said. What? Otega screamed. What is what? Chewing asked. But i paid you two to be attending lectures and understanding for me na upon the fact that we are in the same class sef. Otega said. We weren't able to attend and understand for you o. Fly said. We attended and understood for only ourselves. Why? Otega asked. Because we have one brain each, and it is for our own selves, you forgot to give us your legs and brain na, to attend and understand for you. Chewing said. You two are both stupid. Okay, now, where is my money? Otega requested. We gave it to someone to hold for you. Fly said. Who? Otega asked. Our tummy! They both replied. That time we were hungry and used it to buy food for our tummy. Fly said. It's not that we wanted to really eat it o. We kept it for you before but our tummy pushed us. Chewing said. Okay! Otega said. Forget about the money. Now, i want you two to do something for me. What is it? They both asked. Read for me for the test. I'm writing it with your brains. Otega informed. What! Fly and chewing exclaimed in shock!
Chibaby someone is at the door, please go and see who it is o. Ovoke, a fair slim girl of 19 said at their one room which was close to the University of Nigeria Nsukka. The roommates are both students of the school. Why am i the one to go? Chibaby asked. Because you are closer to the door na. Ovoke replied. She was called Voke for short. Eh, en, okay! Chibaby got up and went for the door lazily.
You again! She screamed on opening the door. Who is that? Voke asked. Is erm, erm, i don't even know her name sef. But she's been coming here for quite sometime now, to look for you. Erm, should i let her in? Chibaby asked. Yes, let her in. Voke said.
Young girl, who are you? Voke asked, facing the girl who was laying down her buttocks on a chair at the corner of the room. Chibaby had gone out to attend classes in school, leaving Voke in the room with the stranger. Well! The stranger said. It seems you haven't met me before but i am assuring you that after one hour here with you, you will know me, and before the day runs out, i will be your best friend. What are you saying? Voke asked. Go straight to the point jor. She said. What do i have with you that you have been looking all over the school for me? I don't entertain strangers but right now i am taking a risk by letting you into my room and listening to you. So please, say what you want to say and leave cause i don't have time, i'm late for my lectures, you can see that my roommate is already gone. If not for you, i would have gone with her. So say what you want to say let me go. The stranger said, You can go to your lectures. Let me wait for you here. Go and come back. I will be waiting. You must be mad. Voke insulted. How can i leave you, a stranger in my room at the expense of my properties, are you normal? No, i am not normal. I have the whole time in the world. Go and come back and meet me here. The stranger said.
