"It's your mother that's a whore" The girls at block D were at it again, Today was a Saturday and instead of them to be washing their clothes, they were fighting, for the third time today.
"Do not bring my mother into this, or else imma beat you until your mama feels it" Another girl said, I got tired of their continues yelling so I placed my Earpiece in my ear. Listing to Away by oxlade, one of my favorite Nigerian Artists.
"Away, Away, Away, Away, and Away" I couldn't help but sing along to the song which earned me a glare from Taiwo, my roommates who seemed to be a bitch. I hissed loudly and she rolled her eyes, I've just been in this school for Three days and I have already made an Enemy, yes Taiwo is my Enemy.
"Girl I wanna be your owner, Call after you game over. Baby rest on me shoulder,
Oh no!" I continued singing in other to piss her off more, which i did and she left the room making me laugh.
Just as I was about to take off my earpiece, my Cousin and bestfriend who got Admitted into the school at the same time as me called, it was saafa.
"Hello saafa, what's up?" I beamed the moment I picked the call.
"Wanna go for a tour of the school?" She said, she sounded bored.
"But we went for one yesterday" I said.
"I know, I am just bored" she said.
"Okay then, let me get dressed. come to my room" I said before hanging up, Taiwo walked back into the room with her cloths in her hands, and she didn't fail to glare at me insultingly.
"Some people will just be acting like babies" I mumbled which didn't go unheard by her because she hissed.
I ignored Taiwo and immediately got dressed into An Abaya decorated with stones and flowers, it looked extremely beautiful.
After putting on my Abaya, I did a light makeup and clutched my purse on my shoulder.
"I'm going out, bye" I said while locking up my locker. As usual, she didn't respond.
I went down the hall and headed towards the stairs where I came face to face with Saafa who seemed to be coming towards my room.
"You look good" Saafa complimented and I muttered a thank you while we walked down the stairs.
"So where should we tour today?" I asked as we made our way outside the hostel.
"Let's go to our Faculty" she said.
"Didn't we go there yesterday?" I halted in my pace.
" Yeah, and also I heard our time table is out" she said.
"Seriously?" I asked,
"Yeah and our orientation is on Monday, because hundred level students classes will begin fully on Tuesday" she said and we continued our walk to the faculty of medicine.
"They aren't allot of hot Boys in this school I swear" Saafa blarbed and I rolled my eyes.
"They are, just say they aren't your taste" I said.
"Yeah they aren't " she said.
"And your taste are rich Boys, but sorry to burst your bubble sister but Welcome to the university where everyone struggles to survive" I said and she spanked me lightly on my arm.
"Why are there allot of people gathered in front of the faculty?" Saafa Asked and I raised my head to see that there was indeed a large crowd of people and they were yelling.
"Me I am not...." Before I could complete my statement, Saafa dragged me towards the crowd with me protesting and spanking her arms.
"let's see what's happening!" she said.
"Sufy"
"sufy"
"Hit Him"
"Farooq"
"Sufy"
"They will injure theirselves"
"Please call security"
I kept on hearing people mumbling to their Neighbor as the two boys fought.
"Why are they fighting?" Saafa asked a boy who seemed our age.
"Don't mind this boy, They are fighting because of a Girl" The boy said and Saafa muttered something like 'bunch of morons'.
I looked over to where they were fighting and saw that the fair guy was going to hit the chocolate skinned guy with an iron rod.
"Stop them, before the kill themselves" I yelled But no one answered. They kept on watching and recording the fight.
In fear of the fair guy Killing the Chocolate skinned guy, I ran over to them and held the rod in the air as it was about to land on the other guy.
*~*
"Are you mad?! Do you wanna kill him?" I yelled at the fair guy whose looks screamed murder. He wasn't ugly though, he was sweating and breathing like a lion.
"Get out of my way" he said, trying to walk over to the Chocolate skinned guy who was panting like a racer.
"No, come with me!" I dragged the fair stranger by his Arm. I dragged him out of the faculty and headed towards a garden where benches where kept. People kept staring at us and mumbling words like,
"She's In trouble"
"Can't she just mind her business"
"She wanna die" I heard them mutter all this as I walked.
I made him sit and he stared at me blankly while I panted like I had just ran a marathon race.
"Are you okay?" I asked him worriedly because he was bleeding on his lips.
"You should have let me killed him" he bellowed.
"Calm down, you aren't thinking straight, Killing him will only lead you to jail" I spoke calmly to the fair stranger.
"Heza!" I heard Saafa scream as she ran to where I stood.
"I'll be right back" I mumbled to the angry young man who kept on mumbling words like,
"That bastard, Fool"
I ran over to Saafa and she was staring at me like i had lost all my senses. "What was all that for?" She asked.
"They were about to Kill Themselves" I said.
"Do you even know them?" She asked.
"No" I said nonchalantly.
"Then why did you fight for them?" She asked.
"Look Saafa they almost killed them....." I paused when i turned back and stared at the garden where i had left him but he wasn't there "where has he gone?" I mumbled.
"Probably gone" Saafa said. "Let's go please"
"Okay" I mumbled, he is a weird person i guess.
"Hello" A hoarse male voice startled both I and Saafa when we were about to leave.
"Yes" I mumbled while turning on my heels to meet the face of the guy whom The fair stranger almost killed.
"Thanks for saving me" he mumbled while staring at both I and Saafa. He looked so familiar but I couldn't tell where I had seen him before.
"You're welcome" I said and turned to Saafa in order to leave.
"Wait... Heza right?" He called my name making me turn back to him.
"Huh?" I was shocked as to how he knew my name.
"You look familiar" he scratched the back of his head.
"Yes I am Heza and how do you know my name?" I asked. I glanced over at Saafa and she seemed lost on her phone.
"Farooq, I am Farooq Junaid, you schooled in Model Highschool right?" He asked and I nodded.
"I am Farooq, Ilham Junaid's Elder brother" he said making me recall one of my classmate, Ilham who also happens to be my friend and now schools in heritage high university.
"Oh my God, Trojan right?" I asked and he chuckled, Trojan was his nickname back in highschool and he was two years ahead of me back then.
"Yeah, But I am not called that anymore" He winked.
"How about ilham?" I asked.
"she's fine, what are you studying over here?" He asked.
"I am studying medicine" I said proudly, like seriously who wouldn't be proud of becoming a doctor someday.
"Wow so is ilham, isn't that Saafa over there?" He asked and i nodded at my cousin who was presently lost in taking selfies.
"Wow she's Fat now" he said and I laughed.
"So is sufy a friend to you?" He asked.
"Noppppppe" I said placing emphasis on the p.
"Better, stay away from sufy if you like yourself or your family, Don't go anywhere near him" he said sternly, he looked just like Tariq Always did when scolding me, Tariq is my elder brother who schools here but is in the Second campus.
"Okay?" I mumbled.
"Yeah, Please be careful in this school, things and people aren't what they seem" those were his last words before we departed, this kept me wondering if my choice of coming to premier high university was right.
