EPISODE 22


I and Sylvia left my place
and headed straight to the
school. I was amazed by
the large crowd I saw
when we got to the school
amphitheatre. The stage was
set for the event already. I
couldn't believe that such an
event is happening in school
and I was not aware. what
then have I been doing in
school. so if Sylvia didn't ask
me to come along with her, I
wouldn't have realized that
such an event was holding in
school. I stared at Sylvia in
amazement.

"how can such a big event be
holding in school and I'm not
aware of it" I said to Sylvia

"why will you be aware, when
you are not a member of any
fellowship in school" she
responded.

"yes that's true, but I should
have heard it from people" I
said

"how will you hear it, when
you don't associate with
people. Don't worry, after
tonight's event, you will join
the fellowship I belong to." she
said.

"wait, will you be performing
in front of this large crowd?" I
asked.

"yes of course." she responded
"you just have to watch me
sing."

"okay" I responded.

"just look for a place to sit,
while I go and meet my group.
the event will begin any
moment from now" she said

"okay" I responded.

Sylvia went ahead to join her
group, while I located a seat at
the front and sat down.
we waited for the next 20
minutes before the event
finally began. The cool and
soul lifting songs that were
sang by the different groups
that performed on stage, could
make one forget his worries. I
watched as Sylvia and her
group sang with so much
enthusiasm. they didn't even
bother about the number of
eyes that were staring at them
on stage. will I ever be
confident enough to stand on
that stage just like them.
when the event ended, I waited
for Sylvia so that we could
leave together. she came to
meet me 30 minutes later. I
could see smiles on her face.

"how was my performance?"
she asked with smiles.

"wow! Sylvia, you are gifted. I
didn't know you sing this
great. your voice too is
awesome." I said

"thank you very much. I'm
glad you like my performance.
it means a lot to me" she said
happily.

"you're welcome" I said

"okay, let's start leaving" she
said

"okay" I responded.

we left the school and headed
to our different home.

I got home and lay on my bed.
I rested for thirty minutes,
then took the books which
Sylvia gave me and busied
myself with it. I got so
engrossed on the book, that I
read it till 3:am. I was amazed
by what I discovered. the book
highlighted a step by step
procedure on how to overcome
shyness. I really need to
overcome this by all means. it
has hindered me from doing
things I wished to do. I made
up my mind that moment that
I would follow the guidelines
in the book to overcome
shyness. I will start putting
what I just read into practice.
little by little, I might
overcome this.

I finally slept off around
3:30am, after much
deliberation on how I would
overcome shyness.

I woke up by 8:15am. I didn't
have to rush this time,
because my first lecture was
by 10:am. I prepared breakfast
and also got ready for school. I
ate and left home exactly
9:30am. I got to school just
when lecture was about to
begin. I located a sit at the
back and sat down.

immediately lecture was over,
Sharon stood up from her seat
and walked towards me. she
sat beside me when she got to
me.

"hi Sharon" I said immediately

she didn't respond. we sat
quietly for a while before she
finally spoke.

"what's going on between you
and Sylvia?" she asked.

I froze immediately I heard the
question. I didn't know why
she asked such question. I
didn't even know what to
respond. I only stared at her
open-mouthed.

"I don't understand" that was
all I could say

"something must be going on
between you two, for her to
behave the way she did
yesterday. If not, she wouldn't
have left your house just like
that" she said.

I was confused. I didn't
understand what she was
trying to say. what is she
talking about?

"Are you dating her?" she
asked

My heart paused immediately I
heard that question. while I
was still trying to recover from
the shock her first question
placed me in, she unleashed
another one.

"I.... I...... I.......I......." I tried to
speak but couldn't.

"so you guys are........" she
wanted to speak further but
suddenly stopped.

I realized she suddenly stopped
speaking because she saw
Sylvia approaching us. Sylvia
walked to us and stood beside
me.

"hi Sharon" she said to Sharon

"hi Sylvia" Sharon responded.

Sylvia shot me a glance and
smiled. I could tell from the
look on her face, that she
noticed, Sharon stopped
speaking because she was
coming.

"Christian are you busy?"
Sylvia asked me.

I couldn't find the right reply
to give. I didn't know whether
to answer yes or no. if I say
no, Sharon might get offended,
because she was actually
having a conversation with
me. if I say yes also, Sylvia
might get offended.
while I was still thinking of the
best answer to give, Sylvia
finally spoke.

"it seems you are busy. I
wanted to have a word with
you, but since you are busy,
we can talk later." she said

Sylvia turned immediately and
left. Sharon watched her until
she was out of sight before she
turned to face me.

"Christian you have not
answered my question. Are
you dating Sylvia?" she asked.

Not again, I thought she would
have forgotten about that.
I didn't respond. I just kept
staring at her.

"Christian why can't you
answer my question. there's
nothing difficult about it. it's
just a yes or no question" she
said when I didn't respond

I took a deep breath and stared
at her.

"no, I'm not dating her." I
finally responded

she heaved a sigh of relief
immediately. I didn't
understand why she did that

EPISODE 20


I stood still staring at the
lecturer without saying a
word. he looked up from
his table and fixed his
gaze on me.

"Christian what's wrong? you
haven't said anything since I
told you about the event" Dr.
Mike said

"yes sir, I'm ready sir. I will
surely do my best sir" I said
immediately.

Dr. Mike observed me for a
while.

"okay, you may leave now" he
said.

I turned and walked slowly to
the door. I couldn't even raise
my legs. I opened the door and
went out.

I went to the class we had our
first lecture to see if Sylvia
and Sharon would still be
there but they were no longer
in the class. The class was
already empty. I located a seat
at the back and sat down. our
next lecture was in the next
ten minutes, but I didn't feel
like going. What Dr. Mike just
told me had really changed my
mood. I left home the morning
with the aim of overcoming
my shy nature. that was why I
tried my possible best to
answer questions in class
today. but right now I'm
doubting my capability of
overcoming shyness . I'm
scared that I will just
embarrass myself and my
department in the presence of
thousands of people. I really
can't do this. I better look for a
way to decline, in order not to
embarrass my department. it
would be so shameful if I will
just stand in front of
thousands of people and
couldn't say a word. the HOD
would be very disappointed.
my course adviser would be
disappointed. all lecturers in
my department will be so
disappointed.
I will just make it look like
I'm ill when the day of the
event draw closer. that will be
the best thing to do.

I was lost in my thought that I
didn't notice that Sylvia and
Sharon were already standing
beside me. it was when Sylvia
called my name that I came
back to reality. I turned to see
them boring holes on my
body.

"Christian, what are you
thinking of? you didn't even
realize that we have be
standing beside you for two
minutes now." Sylvia said

I didn't respond.

Sylvia sat beside me and held
my hands.

"what's wrong?" she asked

"nothing" I responded

"are you not going for the next
lecture? it's almost time?"
Sharon asked

"you both should go ahead, I
will join you later" I said

"Sylvia let's go then" Sharon
said to Sylvia.

"you can go ahead, we will join
you later." Sylvia responded.

Sharon stood still for a while,
staring from Sylvia to me and
back to Sylvia

"okay" she said and left the
class.

Sylvia gripped my hands and
stared into my eyes
immediately Sharon left.

"you can talk to me now.
what's the problem?" she
asked

I took a deep breath and stared
back at her.

"you are aware of the event
our department is organizing
next week right" I said

"yes I'm aware. everyone
should be aware of that." she
responded

"Dr. Mike called me to his
office and informed me that I
would be among the three
students that will deliver
speech on that day" I said

"wow!" she exclaimed
"this is great news"

I looked at her, surprised that
she was happy about it.

"what's good news?" I asked
"have you forgotten that
I'm.........." I paused as I
couldn't complete that
statement.

she patted my back.

"Christian this is the best way
for you to overcome this
shyness. you can do this" she
assured me.

"Sylvia, I can't stand in front
of that large crowd. I just
can't" I said.

"you can" she said.
" let's go for our next lecture.
forget about it for now. we will
talk about it later."

"okay" I responded

we stood up and headed
straight for our next lecture.
I didn't pay attention to what
the lecturer was saying. my
mind was far from what was
happening in class. I kept
trying to assure myself that I
can do this. the more I assured
myself that I can do it, the
more I get nervous.

I left the school immediately
lecture ended and went home.
I needed to rest my head
before it explode.
I quickly lay on my bed to take
a nap.

The knock on my door woke
me up hours later. I turned my
gaze to the the wall clock in
my room and realized it was
6:15pm already. I quickly sat
up and stretched my body.

that should be Sharon. she's
definitely here for the tutorial.

I stood up from my bed and
walked to the door. I opened
my door and saw her already
glowing with smiles.

"hi Christian" she greeted.

"hi" I responded

"hope you are ready" she said

"sure. please come in"

She walked into my room and
sat on my bed. I locked my
door and went to sit beside
her. though I was nervous but
I won't allow that to prevent
the tutorial from holding. if I
can't be confident enough to
be in the same room with
Sharon, how then can I be
confident to face a large crowd.
I need to make sure that the
tutorial goes smoothly. I won't
disappoint this time.

"can we start?" Sharon asked.

"yes, I'm ready" I responded.

She brought out a book and a
pen from her bag and gave to
me. I collected it from her and
began immediately. I spoke
confidently without being
nervous. After a while of
teaching, she moved closer to
me and rested her head on my
shoulder. I paused for a while,
took a deep breath and
continued. I fixed my gaze on
the book I was holding as I
tutored her. I didn't take my
gaze off the book. it was the
best way for me not to get
nervous. I continued that way
and later decided to asked her
a question, for the tutorial to
be interactive.

I asked her a question and
waited for her to answer but I
got no reply.
I asked the question again but
got no reply. I slowly raised
my head to see her staring
deeply into my eyes. cold
shiver went down my spine,
but I remained calm. I stared
back at her. I was really
nervous, but I didn't take off
my gaze from her. I don't want
her to realize I was nervous.
we kept staring into each other
eyes until she finally took her
gaze off. I heaved a sigh of
relief immediately. while I was
still trying to gain control of
myself, she turned back to me
and stared deeply into my
eyes. I could feel my heart
pounding in my chest as I
stared back at her. All of a
sudden, our faces drew closer
to each other. her lips were
almost touching mine. her
eyes were already closed, but
mine were wide open in
shock.

My door suddenly opened. I
quickly turned my gaze to the
door to see Sylvia standing at
the door. she stared at us
open-mouthed. Sharon quickly
sat up properly and adjusted
her blouse. Sylvia fixed her
gaze on us for a while before
she finally spoke.

"I'm very sorry for barging in.
I didn't know you guys are
busy. I will just take my leave
now" she said.

"Sylvia I........"

I tried to speak but she walked
out of my room, slamming the
door behind her. I quickly
stood up from my bed and
rushed out of my room but she
was no where to be found. I
returned to my room to see
Sharon already standing.

"maybe we should continue
tomorrow. let me leave for
now" she said.

"okay" I responded.

I lay on my bed immediately
Sharon left my room. I sighed
and took my phone from my
bed. I dialed Sylvia number
and waited for her to pick but
she didn't pick. I continued
dialing her number but she
still didn't pick the call. I
waited for about five minutes
and dialed her number again,
but this time, it was switched
off. I dropped my phone on my
bed and took a deep breath.
why is she not picking my
call? what is she thinking? I
asked myself
