Blessing wondered if he was now seeing things or if the girl made a mistake about who to text because he had no idea who the girl was and had never seen her before. To confirm if the girl didn’t make any mistake about who she was going to text, Blessing chatted the girl up, and upon chatting with her Blessing realized it was truly her the girl wanted to meet because she knew his name and that of Victoria’s.
Even after chatting with the girl, Blessing feels reluctant to go see her but the girl mentions in their chat that she is a schoolmate and has liked him ever since the day she saw him with his sister but didn’t dare to tell him until now that she wishes to hang out with him.
Blessing wondered if the girl was telling the truth and couldn’t believe how possible it is that someone could like him with his mask knowing the reason why some people had ever wanted to talk to him or be friends with him was because of Victoria. Blessing decided to go meet the girl at the location she gave him to know if the girl was telling the truth about liking him, why he liked him, and wanted to meet him but he told her the day he would be available and the girl agreed.
On the day Blessing was to go meet the girl at the location given by the girl which was night, Blessing dressed looking handsome even though he didn’t know where he was going and what the place looked like. Blessing looked at Victoria who was lying on the bed pressing her phone before he left the room without saying anything to her and then went to board a cab to the location.
Upon dropping at the location, Blessing saw it was a club which made him nervous. Blessing stood outside the club for 30 minutes rehearsing how he was gonna start a conversation with the girl and talk to her because he was nervous while the people that went in and out of the club looked at him weirdly without minding him.
After fully assuring himself that he was ready and things were gonna go well, Blessing texted the girl that he was right outside the club and the girl told him to wait and that she was coming. Blessing back was facing the girl when the girl came outside the club and upon seeing Blessing, the girl called his name.
Blessing looked back to see who it was that called his name and saw it was the girl and she was smiling at him. Blessing saw her beautiful the girl was in reality compared to just a picture and that made him doubt how such a beautiful girl could like him but he was going to find out tonight.
Blessing managed to smile back at the girl waving his hand at her to say hi even though he was nervous. Blessing watched as the girl walked toward him and upon getting to Blessing, Blessing didn’t know how to greet the girl but stretched his hand forward for a handshake. The girl smiled seeing Blessing's hand and instead of shaking his hand, the girl took Blessing's arm and crossed his arm with hers and then said to him with a smile “let's go inside”.
Blessing followed the girl inside without saying anything even though he wondered why the girl didn’t shake his hand, and his heart was beating fast as the girl crossed her arm and his together and then took him into the club.
Blessing looked around the club as they entered together with their arms still crossed and saw people having fun the way they wanted without minding anyone and the way they danced to the music the DJ was playing.
Blessing thought it was just going to be him and the girl that would be together inside the club which made him think there might be a chance that he and the girl might get to dance but he was surprised and became more nervous when the girl took him to where her friends (consisting of 4 male and 3 female) were seated at one side inside the club having fun.
Upon getting to her friends with Blessing, Blessing saw them having different kinds of strong drinks and they all welcomed him with smiles on their faces saying hi to him while Blessing only nodded his head in response. Blessing and the girl sat down with her friends and they continued their fun.
Blessing was expecting the girl to keep her company one way or the other even though he was nervous since she was the one that invited him and he was the only stranger but instead, the girl was having fun with her friends not minding his presence like he wasn’t there. Blessing felt he was cast out because no one said anything to him even the one that invited him as they were all laughing, talking, and drinking.
Blessing was feeling uncomfortable that his presence was not noticed and was angry at one side why would the girl invite him to see her and then push him aside like he was nothing? That made Blessing remember Victoria knowing she would never do such a thing but made him feel special.
Blessing was about to stand up and leave when one of the guys said with a smile to Blessing “oh, sorry. We forgot you are here. Don't mind our manners”, making Blessing change his mind and look at all of them as they all looked at him weirdly and smiling.
“What would you like to drink?” 2nd guy asked Blessing, as they were all still smiling and Blessing looking at them.
“Nothing. I am okay the way I am” said Blessing.
“I guess he is a holy person who sees fun as a sin” said 4th guy with a smile to Blessing.
“No, that is not what it is. It's just that I don’t know how to drink. I had never drink” said Blessing.
“It is fine. There is no need to be afraid or panic. You should try it it makes the fun more fun. I promise you you won’t regret drinking” said the 1st guy with a smile to Blessing.
“I don’t think I should…….” said Blessing.
Blessing was cut short of words as the girl that invited him got close to him holding a bottle and cut in saying with a smile to him “you should try you will see how good it gets”.
Blessing didn’t want to take anything but they all kept cheering that he should and at the same time Blessing thought this was a chance for him to have friends of his own and would like to be friends with them. Blessing took the bottle from the girl and drank from the bottle boldly like he had been drinking before. Blessing finished the content of the bottle in one go and realized it tasted nice and then he said with a smile to them “bring in more”, and they all smiled cheering.
Blessing spent the whole night having fun with the unknown people but knows that they are students from his school too. They spend the whole night, drinking, talking with each other, dancing, laughing, and having fun but Blessing never dances with anyone. At one point, Blessing realized he was feeling tipsy but since Blessing had never had such a feeling before he didn’t see it as a big deal and continued with his fun thinking it was just a normal thing when one drinks. Blessing enjoyed the night with the thought that he had finally made friends without the help of Victoria and thought he would no longer need her to guide the way of his life like he was a kid, and if she liked she should not talk to him anymore.
MORNING
Blessing was asleep on his bed inside his room when he was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing tone and when he took his phone to see who was it that was calling Blessing didn’t answer the call and muted it, and then put his phone on silent. After Blessing dropped his phone to sleep back because he was still feeling sleepy, he realized he was in his room making him open his eyes widely no longer feeling sleepy, and sit up wondering how he got into his room.
Blessing tried to remember what happened last night and how he got into his room but couldn’t, and at the same time Blessing's phone was still continuously ringing but Blessing refused to pick up the call knowing it was Victoria that was calling. Blessing was still thinking about last night and how he got into his room when his eyes suddenly got to his phone and he saw the times on his phone.
Seeing the time, Blessing hurriedly got up from his bed and ran into the bathroom knowing he was late for class. 20 minutes later, Blessing was ready for school and he carried his bag and made his way to school.
Ever since Blessing stepped foot inside the school and as he walked the hallway hurriedly to the class, Blessing noticed everyone he met and saw was weirdly looking at him. Some were even laughing, talking, and smiling funnily looking at him but Blessing chose not to mind them and continue walking to the class because that was what was on his mind.
Blessing was about to enter the class when two girls smiling stopped in front of him making him stop as he wondered what it was they wanted from him, why they stopped in front of him, and why they were smiling, and looking at him funnily. Blessing thought the girls were going to say something to him but seeing they were just smiling and continued looking at him funnily, Blessing was about to tell them to move out of his way so he could enter the class when one of the girls raised her phone to Blessing face so Blessing could see the video being played repeatedly on her phone.
Blessing was devastated when he watched the video on the girl's phone which was a video of him dancing joyfully and happily nakedly on the girl's phone.
