A Love Story

.

.

Jewel stared silently at the lady who
refused to reply his greetings. After a
while of deafening silence, he spoke
again.
“I want to apologize for how I
behaved in class today. I was really
in a bad mood, that’s why I did that.
I’m very sorry.” he apologized.
The lady looked up from her table
once more and stared at him.
“so because you were in a bad mood,
that’s why you had to transfer your
aggression to others” she said.
“I’m very sorry. I allowed myself to
be controlled by my emotion. I’m not
that rude. if you get to know me
better, you will realize I’m a nice guy”
Jewel said.
“what you did really got to me. it was
not like I did anything wrong. I only
took your book from the desk.” she
said.
“I’m really sorry.” Jewel apologized.
“okay, I have heard you. I have even
forgotten about it.” she responded.
“so we are cool now.” Jewel said.
“yeah” she responded.
“thanks.” he said
“you are welcome” she responded.
“by the way, I’m Jewel”
“I’m Lucy” she responded.
“nice name” he said.
“thanks” Lucy responded.
Jewel and Lucy ate their food
silently, and when they are done, they
left the restuarant together.
**************************************
Jessica returned to her hostel from
lecture. She entered her room to see
Angel already in the room. Angel was
fast asleep. Jessica walked to her
bed and tapped her. Angel reluctantly
sat up on her bed.
“Angel, I didn’t see you in class
today. why didn’t you come for
lecture?” Jessica asked.
Angel hissed and ignored Jessica.
Jessica stared at her confused. she
couldn’t understand why Angel just
ignored her.
“Angel what’s wrong?” she asked.
“why did you leave the hostel without
informing me? you know very well
that we were going for the same
lecture. yet you left without waking
me up” Angel said.
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t go to class directly. I went to
my cousin’s hostel first, and we both
went for lecture together.” she
responded.
“why didn’t you wake me up at
least?” Angel asked.
“I left very early. it was still dark
when I left. I left by 6:15am, and our
lecture was by 8:am. I didn’t want to
disturb your sleep ” Jessica
responded.
“you have a cousin in our
department?” Angel asked.
“yes. same level with us.” Jessica
responded.
“who?” Angel asked.
“Lucy” Jessica responded.
“Lucy is your cousin?” Angel asked.
“yes she is.” Jessica responded.
“Angel, are you angry with me? I’m
sorry if I have done anything wrong.”
“I’m not angry with you. I’m just in a
bad mood” she responded.
“what happened?” Jessica asked.
Angel took her phone from her bed
and showed to Jessica.
“look at what one idiot I encountered
today did to my phone.” she said.
” why will someone just damage your
phone?” Jessica asked.
“This phone is not even up to a
week. My uncle gave me this phone
the day i move to my hostel. and one
idiot just chose to damage it for me.”
she said.
“why will someone damage your
phone?” Jessica asked.
“and the worst part was that he even
insulted me. he called me a mad
woman.” Angel said, bitterly.
“what! why will someone damage
your phone and still insult you for
damaging your phone. I hope you
didn’t allow him to go free after what
he did” Jessica said.
“he left before I noticed that my
phone screen has broken ” Angel
responded.
“do you know him?” Jessica asked.
“I’m just seeing him for the first time.
I wish I could see him again, then he
will regret ever crossing my path.”
Angel responded.
“that guy is really something else. he
damaged your phone and still
insulted you for damaging it” Jessica
said.
“please give me your note, let me
copy what you did in class today”
Angel said.
“okay” Jessica responded.
Jessica gave Angel her note and
Angel busied herself with it
immediately.

The lecturer walked to the board and
wrote ‘first semester test’ on it. He
turned to face the class.
“I said you should space yourself” he
barked.
“please sir” the class chorused.
“will you shut up. do you think I
came here to joke” the lecturer
barked.
Some minutes later, students were
seen sitting at reasonable distance,
away from each other, with their pen
and paper on their desk. It seemed
that the lecturer really meant what he
said. He went to the board and wrote
5 questions for the class to solve. He
turned and faced the class when he
was done.
“you have 15 minutes to answer the
questions. if you like, joke with it.
that will be the beginning of failure
for you.” he said in a serious tune.
The class began the test
immediately. While some were still
trying to write down some things,
others still have their paper blank.
15 minutes later, the lecturer
collected the answer scripts. most of
the students submitted a blank
script, with just their names and
matric number on it. only few
students were able to write down
some things. The questions the
lecturer set was suppose to be the
topic for that day, which most of the
students have no idea of.
“see you all in the next class” the
lecturer said and left the class.
A loud uproar filled the class
immediately the lecturer left.
students gathered in group of three
or four to discuss the just concluded
test. Henry came to sit beside Jewel
immediately.
“how was it?” Henry asked.
“it was cool” Jewel responded.
“you call that scary questions cool. it
was not cool on my part o.” Henry
said.
“why? didn’t you finish it?” Jewel
asked.
“I didn’t even attempt any of the
questions. I submitted a blank
scripts.” Henry responded.
“why?” Jewel asked.
“that’s because I don’t know any of
the questions. I just pray the lecturer
won’t use it as part of our C.A,
because I will surely score zero if he
does” Henry said sadly.
“I don’t think he will use it.” Jewel
said.
“anyway, let’s put that aside.” Henry
said.
“okay” Jewel responded.
After a while of silence, Henry spoke.
“Jewel” he called softly.
“yes” Jewel responded.
“I really don’t know what transpired
between you and Angel, that made
her said those things to you, but I
just want to plead on her behalf.
please forgive her” Henry pleaded.
“why are you pleading on her
behalf?” Jewel asked.
“because I like that lady, and I plan
to date her. I don’t want you to be
having problem with someone that
might be my girlfriend. I hope you
can forgive her” Henry responded.
Jewel stared at Henry for 2 minutes
without saying anything. after a while
of silence, he spoke.
“I truly don’t have anything against
her. All I will do from now on is to
avoid her, so that there won’t be any
problem between us. you don’t have
to worry yourself. you can go on and
date her if you like her” Jewel
responded.
“thank you very much Jewel.” Henry
said.
“you are welcome” Jewel responded.
Francis joined them minutes later
and they left the class together.
*****************************************

Angel, Jessica and Lucy went to the
school restuarant to have lunch.
They had attended four lectures
already in just one day, and they
seemed to be tired and hungry. They
sat at the far-left in the restuarant
and ate their food silently. After a
while of silence, Lucy spoke.
“Angel, I really don’t know why you
said those things to Jewel. what did
he do?” she asked.
“just leave that guy. he thinks he can
joke with everyone and go free.
certainly not with me” Angel
responded.
” I think you must have
misunderstood him. maybe he acted
rudely to you when he was in a bad
mood. he did same to me, but later
apologized. he is not who you think
he is. he is a very nice guy. you will
get to like him if you get close to
him.” Lucy said.
“why are you speaking as if you have
known him for a long time” Angel
said.
“I don’t need to stay with him for a
long time to know that he is a very
nice guy.” Lucy responded.
The restuarant door opened and their
course rep walked in. He went to
meet them immediately.
“Angel, I have been searching for you
all over the school.” The course rep
said to Angel.
“Daniel, I hope there is no problem.”
she said, referring to the course rep.
“why are you looking for me?”
“Dr. Femi wants to see you. he said
you should meet him in his office”
Daniel responded.
Angel froze at the mention of Dr.
Femi. That was the same lecturer
that gave them an impromptu test
just because the class was noisy
when he entered.
“why is he looking for me?” Angel
asked.
“I don’t know. when you get to his
office, you will find out yourself”
Daniel responded.
Angel stared at Daniel suspiciously
for a while, before speaking.
“okay, I will go and see him”she
responded and stood up.
“you guys should wait for me. I will
be right back” she said to the other
ladies and left the restuarant.
*****************************************
**
Few minutes later, Angel was
standing at Dr. Femi’s door. she
seemed nervous. several thought
were running through her mind.
could it be that Daniel had told the
lecturer that she caused the
commotion in class today, and the
lecturer wants to punish her for it.
she pray silently for that not to be
the case. she took a deep breath and
knock softly on the door.
“come in” Dr. Femi voice sounded
from inside.

Angel stood like a log of wood,
staring at Jewel’s retreating figure.
she couldn’t believe what just
happened. it was not like she was
coming to apologize. she only
wanted to tell him that Dr. Femi
wants to see him. she stood at the
garden for close to 3 minutes
without leaving. After a while of
standing, she left the garden.
*****************************************
*
Francis sat alone in an empty class.
he seemed to be lost in his thought.
A lot seemed to be on his mind. he
hasn’t been himself for a while now,
and that’s because of the lady he
saw in class. He has been thinking
about her from the first day he saw
her. He couldn’t explain the kind of
feelings he was having. There was
something special about that lady he
can’t seemed to explain. Or has he
fallen in love with her. He can’t
possibly fall in love with someone he
was just meeting for the first time.
He knew nothing about her. how can
he just be thinking about a lady he
has never spoken to. he really don’t
understand what is going on. he was
lost in thought that he didn’t know
when someone walked into the class.
‘hey you’ he heard behind him.
He quickly turned to see Lucy
standing behind him. Her face was
curved in a smile. He froze
immediately he saw her. That was
the same lady he was thinking about,
and here she was, standing beside
him. He couldn’t do much to hide the
surprise look on his face.
Lucy walked to him and sat beside
him.
“why are you sitting here alone? what
are you thinking?” she asked.
“erm……. erm…..” he stammered.
He seemed not to have recovered
from the shock of seeing her beside
him.
Lucy placed a hand on his shoulder
and stared into his eyes.
“are you okay? what’s the problem?”
she asked, feeling concerned.
“not…..no…..nothing” Francis
stammered.
Lucy presence is making him
uncomfortable. he never expected to
see her there.
“are you sure?” she asked.
“ye… yes” he answered.
“okay if you say so” Lucy said.
There was a deafening silence for a
why before Lucy spoke.
“you must be Jewel’s friend. I saw
you together today in class.” Lucy
said.
“yeah, he is my friend. my childhood
friend” Francis responded.
“wow! you have been friends with
jewel from childhood” she said.
“yeah” Francis responded.
“that means you will know a lot about
him” Lucy said.
“yeah” Francis responded.
“actually, my friend misunderstood
him and had to say some bad words
to him. can you give me his number
so that I can call him and apologize
on her behalf.” Lucy said.
“that won’t be a problem” Francis
responded.
Lucy gave Francis her phone and he
typed Jewel’s number. he returned
the phone when he was done.
“thank you” Lucy said
“you are welcome” Francis
responded.
“when are you leaving this place?”
she asked.
“I’m about leaving” Francis
responded.
“let’s leave together then” Lucy said.
“okay” he responded.
They stood up and left the class
together.
****************************************
Jewel entered his room to see Henry
already in the room. Henry was lying
on his bed. He sat up immediately
he saw.
“you are back. what took you so
long. the class ended some hours
ago” Henry said
“I went to the faculty garden to get
some fresh air” Jewel responded.
“okay” Henry said.
Jewel walked to his bed and sat on
the edge.
“I have talked to Angel already” Jewel
said.
“really!” Henry said and rushed to sit
beside Jewel on his bed.
“what did you tell her?” Henry asked,
curiously.
“I told her to stay away from me. I
told her that we should pretend like
we have never met and avoid each
other whenever we see each other”
Jewel responded.
Henry stared at Jewel confused.
Jewel noticed the looked on Henry’s
face.
“what’s wrong. why are you staring at
me that way?” Jewel asked.
“I thought you wanted to end the
quarrel with her” Henry said.
“yes, that was what i did” Jewel
responded.
“how can you say you ended the
quarrel with what you said to her.”
Henry said.
“what’s wrong with what I said? isn’t
it better that we avoid each other”
Jewel said.
“I thought you want to make peace
with her” Henry said.
“I think this is the best way to make
peace. I really don’t want to start
having problem with someone you
plan to date” Jewel responded.
“okay if you say so” Henry said.
“have you told her that you like her?”
Jewel asked.
“no” Henry responded.
“why?” Jewel asked.
“I’m waiting for the right time” Henry
responded.
“when is the right time? you better
make the move now or you might
regret it later. Angel is a very
beautiful lady. do you know the
number of guys that might be
admiring her. if you waste any time,
you might lose her to someone else”
Jewel advised.
Henry thought for a while.
“thanks Jewel. I will do exactly that. I
will approach her and tell her how I
feel” Henry said.
“that’s what you should do” Jewel
responded.
A knock sounded on the door and
they turned their attention to the
door. the door opened almost
immediately and Francis walked in.
he went straight to Jewel’s bed and
sat down.
He wasn’t looking too happy.
“what’s wrong?” Jewel asked.
“nothing” Francis responded.
“you haven’t gone to your hostel?”
Jewel asked.
“my roommate wouldn’t have
returned. I will be alone in the room,
that’s why I came here instead”
Francis responded.
“okay” Jewel said.
There was a deafening silence in the
room for a while before Francis
spoke.
“how do you know when you are in
love?” he asked.
Jewel and Henry turned to face him
immediately. they stared at him
suspiciously.
“who are you in love with?” Jewel
asked.
“not me. someone asked me this
same question, but I couldn’t give
him a reasonable response, that’s
why I decided to ask you” he
responded and look away
immediately

Henry sat on his bed, with his book
and pen right beside him. He was
trying to learn what was thought in
class for that day but couldn’t seem
to understand it. He had been sitting
on his bed for close to two hours
trying to solve some questions. The
day was approaching evening already
and he still hasn’t understood the
topic. what’s he going to tell Jessica.
He already promised her that he
would explain the topic to her this
evening at the faculty garden. he
wouldn’t want to disappoint her. He
can’t go to the garden if he can’t
explain the topic to her.
He lay on his bed and sighed.
“what am I going to do now. I don’t
want to disappoint her. This is the
first time she’s asking me for a
request. I will not like to disappoint.
This is really frustrating.” he said.
The door suddenly opened and Jewel
rushed into the room. he walked
straight to Henry and stood opposite
him. The look on his face was not
funny. Henry noticed his mood.
“what’s wrong?” Henry asked.
“your girlfriend has started again.
how can she lie against me to Dr.
Femi” Jewel responded.
Henry stared at him confused. he
didn’t understand what Jewel was
talking about.
“which my girlfriend?” Henry asked.
“how many girlfriend do you have?”
Jewel asked.
“I don’t remember telling you I have a
girlfriend” Henry responded.
“oh, so you have forgotten about
Angel.” Jewel said.
“did I tell you that she’s my
girlfriend. I only told you that I like
her and would like to date her.
please don’t go about telling people
that she’s my girlfriend, so that you
will not spoil my plan. if she hears
that from anyone, when I have not
told her personally, do you think she
will still give me a chance.” Henry
said.
“okay I’m sorry, but please tell Angel
to stay away from me. how can she
lie against me to Dr. Femi.” Jewel
said.
“what did she do this time?” Henry
asked.
“Dr. Femi asked her to call me to his
office. she didn’t even approach me,
but she lied to Dr. Femi that I
refused to come” Jewel responded.
“okay I am apologizing on her behalf.
I will talk to her, but that’s after I
have told her about my feelings for
her.” Henry said.
“she should just stay away from me
please” Jewel said.
“she will.” Henry responded.
Jewel walked to his bed and sat
down.
“Jewel, please do you know how to
solve questions on sample theory?”
Henry asked.
“yes I do. what about it?” Jewel
asked.
“but you were not in class when the
topic was treated” Henry said.
“I have already practiced it earlier
before now” Jewel responded.
Henry rushed to Jewel’s bed with his
book and pen.
“please explain it to me. I really need
to know it” Henry said.
Jewel collected Henry’s pen and
explained the topic to the best of his
knowledge. Henry rushed out of the
room immediately Jewel was done.
he was late already. Jessica would
have been waiting for him at the
garden.
*****************************************
**
Jessica sat quietly at the faculty
garden waiting for Henry. she had
been sitting there for close to an
hour. She was already contemplating
on leaving.
Henry suddenly rushed into the
garden, sweating profusely. he
walked to me Jessica at the far-right
in the garden.
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting”
Henry apologized.
“I just got here myself” she lied.
“okay, can we begin?” Henry asked.
“sure” Jessica responded.
Henry sat down beside her and
started explaining the topic to her.
he followed the same method he
learned from Jewel. When he was
done, he stood up to leave.
“have you had dinner?” Jessica
asked.
Henry paused. he wasn’t sure if
Jessica was referring to him. he
turned back to face him.
“you mean me?” he asked.
“yes” Jessica responded.
“no, I haven’t, but I will go to a
restuarant on my way to my hostel.”
Henry responded.
“why not follow me to my hostel. I
prepared rice” Jessica suggested.
Henry never expected her to invite
him to her hostel.
“you mean I should follow you to
your hostel?” he asked.
“yes” she responded.
“what about your roommate?” Henry
asked.
Henry knew very well that Angel is
Jessica’s roommate, but he just
wanted to confirm it.
“Angel is my roommate. so there is
nothing to worry about” Jessica
responded.
“oh really! your roommate is Angel”
Henry said, surprised.
“yes” Jessica responded.
“okay then. I can follow you to your
hostel” Henry said.
“let’s start leaving then.” Jessica
said.
They stood up and left the garden.
****************************************
Lucy sat on her bed, staring at her
phone screen. she had been staring
at the screen for close to 30
minutes. she wanted to put a call
through to Jewel but couldn’t
summon the courage to do so. Her
main reason for requesting for
Jewel’s number from Francis was not
because she wanted to plead on
Angel’s behalf, but because she just
wanted to hear Jewel’s voice. she
has been crushing on Jewel ever
since she set her eyes on him. she
just have to hear his voice, or she
won’t be able to fall asleep.
she took a deep breathe, trying to
summon all the courage she could.
she waited for the next 2 minutes
and dailed Jewel’s number. she
placed the phone on her ear and
waited for him to pick up. her heart
was beating in rhyme with the beep
of the call.

Henry woke up very early the next
day and prepared for lectures. He
was smiling all through. He had
made a promise that he would tell
Angel her he feels about her. Just
imagining the fact that Angel will
soon become his girlfriend is giving
him so much joy. He would treat her
like the queen she is, when she
finally agrees to be his girlfriend. He
left the hostel when he was ready,
without waiting for Jewel. He was so
anxious to go for lectures.
***************************************
All through lecture, Henry didn’t pay
attention to what the lecturer was
saying. He kept taking glances at
Angel from time to time. He had
already prepared what he would say
to Angel when he is alone with her.
Francis on the other hand, is also
lost in thought. he also wasn’t paying
attention to what the lecturer was
lecturer. His eyes were just fixed on
Lucy who was sitting at the far left in
the class.
immediately the lecturer left the
class, Francis rushed to sit beside
Lucy.
“hi” he greeted.
“hi” Lucy responded.
“how was the class?” he asked.
“it’s okay.” Lucy responded.
“so where are you heading now?”
Francis asked.
“I’m going to have lunch” Lucy
responded.
“can we go together? I’m also going
to have lunch” Francis said.
“okay, no problem then.” Lucy
responded and stood up.
Francis and Lucy left the class to
have lunch.
*********************************
Francis and Lucy sat quietly in the
restuarant close to the faculty, eating
their lunch. Francis kept taking side
glances at Lucy as she eat. he
couldn’t believe that the lady he likes
was having lunch with him. He was
very sure that he likes Lucy as a
woman, but his problem is, he
doesn’t think he could be able to tell
her that he likes her. that had always
been his problem. he doesn’t have
the gut to tell a lady he likes that he
likes her. he has never confessed
his feelings for a lady. He lose the
lady he likes to another guy, because
he couldn’t tell her that he likes her.
He will try his best for that not to be
the case with Lucy. Even if he can’t
tell her with words, he will show it in
his action. she would come to realize
how much he love her when he
showered her with love.
They ate silently, and when they were
done, Lucy tried to pay for her meal,
but Francis prevented him.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of it”
Francis said.
“you don’t have to” Lucy responded.
“I insist” Francis said.
“okay, if you insist. thanks” Lucy
said.
“you are welcome” Francis
responded.
Francis paid for their meal and they
left the restuarant together.
*****************************************
Henry went to the school garden
after lecture to see Angel sitting at
the far left in the garden. He couldn’t
control his joy when he saw her
sitting there alone. That was the
perfect opportunity for him to tell her
that he likes her.
He walked slowly to meet Angel and
sat beside her.
“hi” Henry greeted.
“hi” Angel responded.
“why are you sitting here alone?”
Henry asked.
“receiving fresh air” Angel
responded.
There was a deafening silence for a
while.
“Angel” Henry called.
“yes” Henry responded
“I want to confess something to you”
Henry said.
Angel didn’t respond immediately.
she stared at Henry suspiciously.
“what is it?” she asked, slowly.
Henry took a deep breathe and stared
deeply at Angel.
” I know this might not be the best
time for me to say this, but I just
have to say it because it has been
troubling me. I like you Angel. I like
you very much. I want us to start
dating.” he said and waited curiously
for her responded.

Episode 9
Jewel entered his room to see Henry
lying on his bed. He noticed Henry
wasn’t in a good mood. He walked to
sit beside him on his bed.
“what’s wrong?” Jewel asked.
Henry didn’t respond. He only stared
blankly into air.
“talk to me Henry. what’s wrong?”
Jewel asked again.
Henry turned to face Jewel for the
first time.
“she turned me down” he said sadly.
“who turned you down?” Jewel
asked.
“Angel turned me down” he said.
Jewel stared at him, not knowing
what to say next. he didn’t know
whether to comfort him, or just tell
him to forget about her. He was even
about to tell him that Angel and him
had become study partners, but with
the look of things, he couldn’t say
anything to him.
Jewel place a hand on Henry’s
shoulder.
“what did she say to you?” Jewel
asked.
“she said she’s not ready for any
relationship.” Henry responded.
“and you are going to give up
because of that? maybe she hasn’t
seen enough reason why she should
date you. All you have to do is to
show her that you are the best guy
for her and when she realize that,
she will agree to date you ” Jewel
advised.
Henry sat up immediately
“you might be right. maybe I rushed
the whole thing and didn’t give her
the time to know me better.” Henry
said.
“exactly” Jewel responded.
“so what do you think I should do?”
Henry asked.
“just keep things going normal with
her. you should also use that
opportunity to show her how much
you love her. and after some time
you should ask her out again.” Jewel
advised
“thank you very much Jewel. that’s
what I will do” Henry said.
“you are welcome” Jewel responded.
Henry stood up from the bed and
walked to the door.
“where are you going?” Jewel asked.
“to have lunch. I haven’t eaten
anything since morning” Henry
responded.
“so you are starving yourself because
a lady turned you down.” Jewel said.
Henry didn’t respond. He just quietly
opened the door and went out.
*****************************************
******
Francis and Lucy sat quietly at the
far-left in the faculty garden. They
had been sitting there quietly, since
they left the restuarant which they
went to have lunch. Lucy suddenly
broke the silence.
“Francis, you have been so nice to
me all through today. I’m just curious
to know why” Lucy said.
“I’m always nice to nice ladies” he
responded, not sure if that was the
best way to respond.
“hmm. it’s good sha. but you should
know that the one who needs your
attention more, is your girlfriend.”
Lucy said.
“I don’t have any girlfriend” Francis
cut in immediately.
Lucy stared at him, surprised at how
quick he responded. The way Francis
corrected her immediately made it
look as if he was trying to prevent
any topic that has to do with
girlfriend, but unknown to Lucy,
Francis only responded quickly for
her to know that he is still single and
ready to have her as his girlfriend.
“okay, if you say so” Lucy said.
“I really don’t have a girlfriend”
Francis said, stressing the words.
“let’s start leaving. I have somethings
to do in my hostel.” Lucy said.
“okay” Francis responded.
They stood up and left the garden.
*****************************************
******
Jessica entered the school
restuarant to see Henry having lunch
at the far-left of the restuarant. Her
face curved in a smile when she saw
him. she walked to meet him and sat

[center]Jewel stood still, staring at the door
Henry just walked out from. He
couldn’t do or say anything. He knew
very well that Henry might have
misunderstood what he saw. Angel
also stood still without saying a
word. she was waiting for Jewel to
say the first word. When Jewel didn’t
say anything, she turned and walked
to the door. Jewel followed behind
her, knowing fully well that she’s
going to Dr Femi’s office. He didn’t
want to argue with her anymore. he
would agree to any decision she
made. He had made a mistake
already and wouldn’t want to add to
it. He followed her out of the room
and locked the door behind him.
****************************************
Angel stood in front of Dr. Femi’s
office, with Jewel standing right
behind him. She was still holding the
paper she grabbed from Jewel. She
knocked softly on the door.
“come in” Dr. Femi’s voice sounded
from within.
Angel opened the door and entered.
Jewel followed behind her
immediately.
“good afternoon sir” they greeted in
unison.
Dr. Femi looked up from the
magazine he was reading.
“good afternoon.” Dr. Femi
responded.
“have you made your decision”
“yes sir” Angel responded.
She handed the paper she was
holding to Dr. Femi.
“we have agreed to meet, Tuesday,
Thursdays and Saturdays.” Angel
said.
Jewel stared at her, surprised. That
was the same suggestion he made to
her, which she refused. if she was
going to agree, why then did she
have to make a scene back there in
his room.
Dr. Femi stared at the book for a
while and dropped it on his desk.
“okay, good. That means you will be
meeting today. let me give you some
materials you will be working with.”
Dr. Femi said and brought out some
materials from his drawer.
He handed the materials to Angel.
“you should work with this for now. I
will announce it in the class later on
that you both will be representing
your class. but for now, no one
should know about it. not even your
close friends. is that clear” Dr. Femi
said.
“yes sir” they responded in unison.
“okay, you may leave now. when you
have any questions, don’t hesitate to
let me know” Dr. Femi said.
“thank you sir” They responded and
left his office.
Jewel stretched his phone to Angel,
once they were out of Dr. Femi’s
office, and without asking any
question, Angel collected the phone.
She knew Jewel was asking for her
number. She typed her number and
returned the phone to Jewel. Jewel
collected the phone and they went
their separate ways.
************************************
Jewel entered his room to see Henry
sitting on a chair. he was busy
solving a question. he pretended like
he didn’t see Jewel. jewel stared at
him for a while and went to lie on his
bed. He didn’t know whether to
explain what happened earlier to
Henry or not. And moreover, there is
no how he would explain things to
Henry without mentioning Angel’s
reason for coming to their room.
There’s no how he will explain it
without telling him that Angel and
him are preparing for an upcoming
quiz. Dr. Femi warned them not to
tell anyone. He didn’t know why Dr.
Femi said that, but he wouldn’t want
to disobey him. He will explain
everything to Henry when the time is
right. As for now, he won’t say
anything to him, since he didn’t ask.
Henry continued with what he was
doing, without looking at Jewel’s
direction.
*****************************************
Lucy sat on her bed with her phone
in her hand. She wanted to put a call
across to Jewel but couldn’t. After
minutes of holding the phone without
making any call, she dropped the
phone on her bed and lay on her
back.
“I can’t continue like this. this is not
the best way to go about it. I can’t
keep calling him whenever I need to
hear his voice. he will get tired of my
calls someday. I need to look for a
different way to go about this. I need
to go to my cousin’s hostel to seek
for her advice on this. she might be
able to help. she is more experienced
than me. I think I should go to her
hostel.” she said and stood up from
her bed.
She took her phone from her bed
and left her room.
***************************************
Jewel sat up on his bed. he looked
at his phone and realized it was
almost time for his personal study
with Angel. He looked at Henry’s bed
and realized he was no longer in the
room. he stood up from his bed, took
his wallet and left the room.
*****************************************
*
Angel sat on her bed, preparing for
her study with Jewel. She packed the
books on her bed and put it inside
her handbag. she was the only one
in the room. Jessica had not
returned. Her door suddenly opened
and Lucy walked in. she went to sit
beside Angel on her bed.
“what’s up Angel” Lucy said.
“I’m cool” Angel responded.
“are you going out?” Lucy asked,
when she saw Angel packing some
books into her bag.
“yes” Angel responded.[/center]

EPISODE 11

Angel and Jewel sat quietly at the
faculty garden. They were the only
one in the garden. every other
students have gone back to their
hostel. The garden was very quiet
and conducive for reading. They
were both holding different materials
which they were reading. even
though they were sitting very close to
each other, they had not say
anything to each other since they got
to garden. They were not even
studying together. Each of them was
reading his own material. they were
not working together as they should
have.
Henry suddenly walked into the
garden. He froze immediately he saw
Jewel and Angel sitting at the far-left
in the garden. They were too
engrossed in what they were reading,
that they didn’t notice his presence.
Henry quickly hid behind a tree and
stared at them from a distance. He
frown when he saw Jewel sitting very
close to Angel. He glared at them.
His eyes suddenly turned red. if
those eyes were gun, about six
bullets would have pierced into
Jewel’s body. He glared at them with
so much pain in his heart.
“someone I thought was my friend,
went behind me to get the lady I
love. so people could be this wicked”
he said, bitterly.
“Jewel, don’t think you have won,
because I will surely come back for
you. you will regret going for the lady
I love. I’m going to make you regret
doing this to me. just wait and see.
you have just drawn the battle line.
you will surely regret this. I promise
you” Henry sworn.
He glared at them one last time and
left the garden without their
awareness.
*****************************
Lucy sat quietly in Jessica’s room,
waiting for her to return. she had
been sitting there all alone for close
to 2 hours. she was becoming
impatient. She had tried calling her
several times but her number was
not reachable. she looked at her
phone screen and realized it was
already 8:15pm.
“I have to leave now. it’s late already.
but what is she doing out at this
time. Even Angel that left since 6pm
has not returned. will she still be
with Jewel up till now? What are they
even discussing? why did they even
agree to meet up in the first? I hope
it’s not what i’m thinking. I will have
to find out. I won’t just sit and do
nothing.” she said, carried her bag
and stood up to leave.
The door opened immediately she
stood up, and Jessica walked in. she
heaved a sigh of relief when she was
Jessica.
“Jessica, where have you been? I
have been waiting for you for two
hours now.” Lucy said.
“why didn’t you call me?” Jessica
asked.
“I called but it was not reachable.”
Lucy responded.
Jessica brought out her phone from
her bag and realized that her phone
was switched off.
“oh, sorry my phone is switched off.
why do you want to see me?” Jessica
asked.
“come and sit down” Lucy said and
pulled Jessica to sit with her on the
bed.
“by the way, where is Angel?” Jessica
asked.
“she left the hostel since 6pm. she
went to meet Jewel” Lucy responded.
“Jewel!” Jessica said, surprised.
“I thought they were not on good
terms.”
“that was what I thought too. but
Jewel called her this evening to meet
him at the gate.” Lucy responded.
“maybe he just wanted to apologize
for what he did to Angel. whatever
the case may be, i’m glad they have
settled their differences.” Jessica
said.
“that’s true” Lucy responded.
“so what do you want to discuss with
me?” Jessica asked.
“I want to ask ………”
The door suddenly opened, cutting
Lucy off from saying what she
wanted to say.
They both turned there attention to
the door to she Angel standing at the
door. she looked exhausted. she
walked into the room and went
straight to her bed to sit. she
dropped her bag beside her.
“Angel, where have you been all this
while?” Lucy asked.
“I was with Jewel. we were …….” she
suddenly paused when she realized
she shouldn’t have said that.
“I mean to say, I was at the faculty
garden reading.”

EPISODE 12

Angel didn’t mention it to anyone that
she saw a piece of paper warning
her to stay away from God knows
who, in her bag. she kept it to
herself. she didn’t know who the
paper was from and what it was
about. She wanted to find out who
the paper was from and why it was
sent to her.
“I must find out who sent this to me
and why it was sent to me” she said
to herself.
************************
The next day in school was quite
hectic. They had 3 lectures in a
space of 4hours. One of their
lecturers also had a make up class
with them. Jewel was very exhausted
by the end of lectures. He just
wanted to go back to his hostel and
rest. It was already 5pm and before
he would get to his hostel, it would
be time for his personal study with
Angel. He left the class without
informing Francis or Henry. And
moreover, Henry seemed to be angry
with him. Just as he step out of the
class, he heard his name behind him.
He turned to see Daniel walking
towards him.
‘why is he coming to meet me? is Dr.
Femi looking for me’ Jewel thought.
“what’s up Jewel” Daniel said,
immediately he got to Jewel.
“I’m cool.” Jewel responded.
“are you leaving already?” Daniel
asked.
“yes. is Dr. Femi looking for me?”
Jewel asked.
“no no, you can go ahead. I just
wanted to say hi” Daniel said.
“okay thanks, I have to leave now.
I’m already exhausted.” Jewel said
and made attempt to leave.
“Jewel” Daniel called.
“yes” Jewel responded.
“I thought you and Angel were not in
good terms. why did I see you both
alone at the faculty garden?” Daniel
asked.
Jewel stared at him, not sure why he
asked that question.
‘what’s wrong for him to be seen
alone with Angel. Is he expecting
them to keep avoiding each other
forever’ he thought.
“you don’t need to answer me. I was
just curious. that’s all” Daniel
continued when Jewel didn’t
respond.
“you can leave now. see you in class
tomorrow”
Jewel turned and left his presence
without saying anything. Daniel
stared at his retreating figure until it
was out of sight before leaving.
*********************************
It was already 5:45pm when Jewel
got to his hostel. That means it was
almost time for his private study with
Angel. He dropped his bag on his
bed and picked his notebook on the
table. He left his room immediately,
because he was already late.
********************************
Angel was seen lying on her bed,
while Jessica was solving some
questions. It was already 6:30pm
and she hasn’t left to join Jewel for
their personal study. She didn’t plan
of going to meet him. She was still
scared about the message written on
the piece of paper she saw in her
bag. She didn’t know if the message
was referring to Jewel. Maybe the
message was trying to tell her to stay
away from Jewel, because it was
after she spent time with him that
she got that message.
‘or could it be that Jewel actually
kept that piece of paper in my bag,
because he was the last person I
was with before I saw that paper in
my bag.’ she thought.
‘yes, it should be him. he might have
done that to get back at me. He must
have done it to scare me. I just hope
it’s not him, because if it’s him, I
won’t take it lightly with his. That
piece of paper is giving me sleepless
night.’
A tap on her shoulder brought her
back to reality. she turned to see
Jessica standing beside her.
“won’t you pick up your call. your
phone has been ringing continuously,
and it’s distracting me from
studying.” Jessica complained.
Angel was so carry away that she
didn’t realize that her phone was
ringing. She sat up and took the
phone from her bed. she stared at
the screen.
‘speaking of the devil’ she thought,
when she realized that the call was
from Jewel. She dropped the phone
on her bed for it to continue ringing
and lay down back on her bed.
“won’t you pick the call?” Jessica
asked.
“it’s not important” Angel responded.
*******************************
Jewel sat alone at the faculty garden
with his phone placed on his ear. He
was dialing Angel’s number. He
removed the phone from his ear and
stared at the screen with frustration.
That was the fifth time he was calling
Angel, but she wasn’t picking. It was
already 7pm. He had been sitting
there all alone for an hour, waiting
for Angel. There was no how he
could do anything meaningful there
alone, because Angel was with all
the materials Dr. Femi gave them.
“how can she just leave me here all
by myself. If she won’t come,
shouldn’t she have called to inform
me, so that I wouldn’t have come
here to waste my time. She is even
ignoring my calls. This is so
frustrating” he said in frustration.
Jewel stared at his watch and
realized it was 7:10pm already. He
picked up his book which was
beside him, stood up and left the
garden in annoyance.
Just immediately Jewel left the
garden, Henry came out from the tree
he was hiding behind. He had been
watching Jewel secretly all the while.
He couldn’t hide the smile on his
face when he saw Jewel so
frustrated. He knew Jewel was
waiting for Angel and eventually got
frustrated because Angel didn’t show
up. He was very happy to see Jewel
so angry.

EPISODE 13

Jewel stared at the piece of paper in
his hand with so much anger. He
was so certain that the message was
from Henry.
“Henry you must be a coward for you
to confront me this way. so you
cannot come to me personally to
confirm if there is anything going on
between me and Angel. so you
chose to do it this way. I was even
planning of telling you why Angel
and I always meet, but since you
chose to go about it this way, I will
have to see what you are capable of.
I won’t tell you why Angel and I
always meet. I will watch and see
how you will ruin my life, since that’s
what you plan to do.” Jewel said to
himself with a frown.
He tore the paper into pieces and
dropped it in the dustbin.
“Henry, you can go ahead and do
your worst.” he said.
Just as he went back to sit on his
bed, the door opened and Henry
walked in. Henry went straight to his
bed and lay down without sparing
Jewel a glance. Jewel observed him
for a while and realized that his face
was slightly curved in a smile.
‘so you are happy because you think
your threat will have impact on me.
let’s see how it goes’ Jewel thought.
Jewel observed him for some times,
before lying on his bed.
*********************************
Angel stood in front of Dr. Femi’s
office. Daniel had earlier informed
her that Dr. Femi wanted to see her.
She took a deep breath and hope
Jewel didn’t tell Dr. Femi anything.
She knocked on the door and waited
for response.
“come in” Dr Femi’s voice sounded
from within.
Angel entered the office to see Dr.
Femi sitting behind his desk.
“good morning sir” Angel greeted.
“why are you taking your study with
Jewel for granted?” Dr. Femi asked
immediately without responding her
greeting.
‘so Jewel actually reported me to Dr.
Femi’ she thought.
“do you think this is a joke? You got
the opportunity to represent your
class and you are taking it for
granted.” Dr. Femi continued.
‘so Jewel went and reported me to
Dr. Femi after what he did. what is he
trying to achieve by doing that. so he
is trying to make me look bad. He is
trying to make Dr. Femi see me as a
bad person’ Angel thought.
“let this not repeat itself. you may
leave now” Dr. Femi said.
Angel lowered her head a bit and left
Dr. Femi’s office.
*********************************
Angel sighted Jewel sitting alone in
an empty class and walked straight
to meet him. She had been looking
for him since she left Dr. Femi’s
office. She stood in his front and
glared at him when she got to him.
Jewel looked up from his table to
see Angel glaring at him.
‘what’s that look for’ he thought.
‘if there is anyone that should be
angry, it should be him.’
“why did you go and tell Dr. Femi
that I deliberately missed our study,
after what you did?” Angel asked.
“what’s wrong with what I said to
him? didn’t you miss it? you made
me to wait all night, and when I tried
calling, you ignored my call” Jewel
responded.
“why won’t I ignore your calls, after
what you did” Angel said.
“what did I do?” Jewel asked.
“oh please! stop feigning ignorance.
you know what you did” Angel said.
“I don’t know what you are talking
about” Jewel responded.
“I don’t have time to argue with you. I
just want to tell you never to try such
nonsense with me again. because if
you do, I won’t take it lightly with
you” Angel said and stormed out of
the class. Jewel stared blankly into
air, as he could not understand what
Angel was talking about.
*************************************
Francis sat quietly in the school
restuarant, waiting for Lucy. He had
made up his mind to tell Lucy how
he feels towards her. He was very
sure that he likes Lucy and would
want to date her. So there is no need
keeping it a secret from her.
‘I will tell her today. yes I will’ he
mumbled.
He felt a hand on his shoulder and
turned to see Lucy standing beside
him. she was smiling broadly. He
froze when he saw her. He was so
carried away that he didn’t notice
when Lucy walked into the
restuarant.
“Hi Lucy, you are here already” he
said, masking his surprise with a
smile.
“please have a seat”
“thank you” Lucy responded and sat
down.
“sorry for keeping you waiting”
“it’s nothing” Francis responded.
“I hope you have not had lunch
already, because if you have, without
waiting for me, I will break your
head” Lucy joked.
“No, why should I? I invited you here.
so it’s only proper for me to wait for
you before having lunch” Francis
responded.
“that’s very kind of you” Lucy said.
Francis beckoned the waiter and he
approached them. The waiter took
their orders and served them. They
consumed their food silently. After
few minutes of silence, Francis
spoke.
“Lucy” he called.
Lucy looked up from her table and
faced him.
“yes dear” she responded.
“there is something I will like to tell
you” Francis said.
“okay, I’m listening” Lucy responded.
“first, I will like to ask you a
question” Francis said.

made up his mind to tell Lucy how
he feels towards her. He was very
sure that he likes Lucy and would
want to date her. So there is no need
keeping it a secret from her.
‘I will tell her today. yes I will’ he
mumbled.
He felt a hand on his shoulder and
turned to see Lucy standing beside
him. she was smiling broadly. He
froze when he saw her. He was so
carried away that he didn’t notice
when Lucy walked into the
restuarant.
“Hi Lucy, you are here already” he
said, masking his surprise with a
smile.
“please have a seat”
“thank you” Lucy responded and sat
down.
“sorry for keeping you waiting”
“it’s nothing” Francis responded.
“I hope you have not had lunch
already, because if you have, without
waiting for me, I will break your
head” Lucy joked.

EPISODE 14

Jewel became very scared that he
did not know who is trying to harm
him, and what the person planned to
do.
“what will I do now? this is a threat
to my life. I don’t know if this person
is just trying to scare me, or he is
actually serious with what he said” he
said.
A knock sounded on the door and he
turned quickly to the direction of the
door. He was scared. He knew that
was not Henry, because Henry
wouldn’t have knocked on the door.
He stood up from his bed and
walked to the door. He opened the
door to see Jessica standing at the
door.
“hi Jessica” he said, surprised.
He wasn’t expecting to see her
standing at the door.
“hi Jewel” she responded, smiling.
She was carrying a handbag.
“is Henry around?” she asked.
“no, he has not returned yet” Jewel
responded.
“can I wait for him?” Jessica asked.
“sure, please come in” Jewel said
and gave way for her to enter.
She entered into the room and Jewel
followed behind her.
“please have a seat” Jewel said,
pointing at Henry’s bed.
“thank you” Jessica responded and
sat down on Henry’s bed.
Jewel went back to sit on his bed.
He took a book and busied himself
with it. After a while of deafening
silence, he spoke.
“have you called to inform him that
you are waiting for him?” Jewel
asked.
“no, let me call him now” she
responded and dailed Jewel’s
number.
she placed the phone on her ear and
waited for him to pick up.
“hello Jessica” Henry’s voice
sounded at the other end.
“I’m waiting for you in your room”
Jessica said.
“oh! I will be with you soon. I’m on
my way. give me 5minutes” Henry
responded.
“okay, I’m waiting” Jessica said and
ended the call.
“what did he say?” Jewel asked,
immediately.
“he is on his way” Jessica
responded.
“okay” Jewel said.
Jewel stood up from his bed.
“you can wait for him here. I need to
go and get something from my
friend’s hostel.” he said.
“okay” Jessica responded.
Jewel walked to the door and went
out. He wasn’t actually going to get
anything. He just wanted to give
them some privacy.
Jessica sat alone in the room,
staring at every corners of the room.
After sitting alone in the room for a
while, Henry walked into the room
and went straight to me Jessica on
his bed.
“sorry for keeping you waiting” he
apologized.
“it’s nothing” Jessica said.
“so, to what do I owe this surprise
visit?” Henry asked
“I actually want you to explain
something for me” Jessica
responded.
“let’s see what it is then” Henry said.
“before that, let’s have lunch. I
brought food” Jessica said and
brought out a food flask from her
handbag.
“you shouldn’t have bothered
bringing food. Anyway, thanks very
much.” Henry said.
“go and bring plate let me dish out
the food” Jessica said.
Henry hurried to his cupboard and
brought two plates and spoons. He
handed them to Jessica. Jessica
dished out the food in just one of the
plates, for them to eat together.
They sat facing each other on the
bed and consumed the food silently.
The didn’t say a word to each other
until they were done eating.
“thank you very much. it’s really
delicious.” Henry said when they
were done eating.
“you are welcome” Jessica
responded.
“but you don’t always have to bring
me food whenever you need my
assistance. you can always come to
me whenever you need me.” he said,
trying to act like a gentle man, but In
actual sense, he doesn’t mind if she
keeps bringing him food, because
her food was very delicious.
Henry explained what Jessica wanted
him to explain for her, and when he
was done, they both left the room
together.
****************************************
It was already 5:45pm. Angel sat on
her bed, preparing for his personal
study with Jewel. She put on her
sandals and took her notebook from
her table. she flipped through pages
and noticed another piece of paper,
placed in her notebook. she stared at
the paper and prayed silently that it
should not contain any scary
message. she picked up the paper
and read the message in it.
‘he is evil. stay away from him. he
will ruin your life’
The message was just exactly the
same with the first one she got.
She stared at the paper in anger.
This time, she wasn’t scared but
angry.
“so Jewel, after warning you to stop
sending me such messages, you still
went ahead and sent it. you think
you can scare me this way. Just wait
until I get to the garden.” she said,
carried her handbag and stormed out
of her room.
***************************************
Jewel entered his room to realize
that Henry and Jessica were no
longer in the room. He went straight
to his bed and lay down. It’s was
already 6:15pm and he had not gone
to join Angel at the garden. He didn’t
intend going there, not after the
message he got. He didn’t know who
is threatening his life, so it is only
proper for him to tread carefully. He
took his book instead and busied
himself with it.
**************************************
Angel sat on a seat at the faculty
garden, waiting impatiently for Jewel.
she was waiting for him to arrive, so
that she could give him a piece of
her mind. She looked at her phone
screen and realized it was 6:30pm
already.
“what’s keeping him” she said.
When she was tired of sitting, she
stood up and paced up and down the
garden.
“so Jewel is actually joking with me.
He knew what he did, that’s why he
refused to show up now. He think he
can joke with me and go free. let’s
see how it goes.” she said.

EPISODE 15

The door suddenly opened and Henry
walked in. He froze when he saw
Angel lying on Jewel’s bed. He
stared from Jewel to Angel, back to
Jewel. They stared silently at him
also. After a while of deafening
silence, Henry spoke.
“sorry for disturbing you guys” he
said and turned to leave the room.
“wait!” Jewel said, immediately.
Henry stopped and turned to face
Jewel.
“why are you leaving? Angel was
waiting for you all this while. Are you
going to leave just like that without
knowing why she came all the way
from her hostel to see you?” Jewel
asked.
Henry stared at Jewel, surprised, and
at the same time embarrassed.
‘so Angel was actually waiting for
me’ he thought.
Angel too could not hide the surprise
look on her face when Jewel said
that. she didn’t remember telling
Jewel that she was waiting for Henry.
She stared at Jewel with a
questioning look.
That was the only thing Jewel could
come up with, for Henry not to
misunderstand what he saw.
Henry quietly walked back into the
room.
“are you actually waiting for me?”
Henry asked.
Angel nodded in affirmation, even
though she had no idea of what to
say was her reason for looking for
him.
“I’m very sorry. I didn’t know you
were waiting for me.” Henry said and
went to sit on his bed.
“why do you want to see me?” Henry
asked.
“I was thinking if you can help me
out with a topic. you know you asked
me to come to you whenever I need
help” Angel said.
“yes, I said that. what topic is it?”
Henry asked.
Angel stood up from Jewel’s bed and
went to sit beside Henry on his bed.
Jewel heaved a sigh of relief and lay
down comfortably on his bed.
Angel showed Henry the topic she
wanted him to explain, and Henry
took his time explaining a topic
Angel knew better than him. By the
time they were done, Jewel had
already slept off. Angel thanked
Henry and left their room without
waking Jewel.
*****************************************
*
Everyone sat quietly in class, waiting
for the lecturer to arrive. Francis was
sitting beside Jewel at the far left,
while Henry was sitting alone at the
back. Angel, Jessica and Lucy were
occupying the seats at the far right.
Daniel walked into the class few
minutes later and went straight to the
podium.
“attention everyone” He called.
“I’m sorry this class won’t hold. The
lecturer is not available.”
“not again!” someone shouted from
the back.
“The lecturer gave us an assignment
instead, which we are to submit first
thing tomorrow morning. The
assignment should not be less than
10 pages. It must be typed and spiral
bind.” Daniel instructed.
“I will be at the faculty to collect it
tomorrow. you must bring it to me
before 7:45am, because I will take it
to the lecturer exactly 7:45am.
“How is that possible? How are we
suppose to type a 10 pages
assignment and submit first thing
tomorrow. Most of us have
something else to do” someone said.
“I’m just delivering the lecturer’s
message. You can ignore it if you
like, but I just want you to know that
the assignment carries 10 marks. so
if you don’t do it, you automatically
lose 10 marks. I will send the
questions to you guys before the end
of our next lecture” Daniel said and
left the class.
Students started leaving the class,
since the lecture was no more
holding.
**************************************
It was already 5:50pm and Jewel
was already set for his personal
study with Angel. He seemed very
tired, because he spent about 3hours
at the cafe typing the assignment
that was giving to them. He was very
hungry at the same time, because he
didn’t have lunch.

EPISODE 16

Jewel froze immediately the lecturer
said that. same assignment that he
spent 3 hours at the cafe typing. He
turned and stared at Henry, probably
asking him to explain what the
lecturer just said. He turned back to
face the lecturer when Henry wouldn’t
say anything.
“but sir I …………..”
“no excuses” the lecturer cut in.
“I didn’t get your assignment when I
asked for it, so no excuses.”
Jewel quietly sat down, feeling sad.
‘how can Henry do this to me. Is he
this heartless? If he can do this, it
means he is capable of doing
anything. This also shows that he is
the one sending me those messages.
Why didn’t I see this from start? He
wouldn’t have been so stupid to have
written those messages himself. He
must have given it to someone else
to write for him, for him not to
implicate himself. what will I do
now? will I lose 10marks just like
that.” Jewel thought.
The lecturer continued with the
lecture. Jewel didn’t concentrate on
the lecture. He was lost in thought.
He couldn’t believe that Henry could
do that to him.
When lecture was over. Just
immediately the lecturer stepped out
of the class, Jewel confronted Henry.
He stood at Henry’s front and glared
at him.
“what’s the meaning of that? why
didn’t you submit my assignment?”
he asked.
“I swear, I submitted the assignment
to Daniel. I was very surprised when
the lecturer said you didn’t submit
yours.” Henry responded.
“if you submitted it, why then is it
missing?” Jewel asked.
“I don’t know. maybe we can ask
Daniel, because i’m very sure that I
submitted your assignment to him.”
Henry responded.
They both approached Daniel who
was about leaving the class.
“Daniel what happened? I thought I
submitted Jewel’s assignment to
you. Why did his own got missing?”
Henry asked, immediately.
“I don’t know. I took every
assignment that was submitted to me
to the lecturer’s office. If Jewel’s
own was not there, it means you
didn’t submit it.” Daniel responded.
“how can you say that, when I know
very well that I submitted it to you”
Henry said.
“like I said earlier, every assignment
that was submitted to me was taking
to the lecturer’s office. I have to
leave now” Daniel said and left their
presence.
Jewel stared in frustration. He
spared Henry one last glance and left
the class also. He didn’t know what
to believe anymore.
*****************************************
*
Jewel sat down alone in an empty
class. He just wanted to be alone, so
that he could think of what to do
next. He was resting his head on the
desk. He was so lost in thought that
he didn’t realized when Angel walked
into the class. Angel sat quietly
beside him, without distracting him.
Few minutes later, Jewel raised his
head to see Angel sitting beside him.
“Angel!” he called, surprised.
“how long have you been sitting
here?”
“not quite long. Jewel what really
happened? why was your assignment
not submitted to the lecturer?” Angel
asked, feeling concerned.
“I don’t know. All I know is that I
gave it to Henry to submit for me.”
Jewel responded.
“Are you saying that Henry didn’t
submit it” Angel said.
“isn’t it obvious. He intentionally
didn’t submit my assignment.” Jewel
responded.
“but why would Henry do such a
thing?” Angel asked.
“He thinks there’s something going
on between us. He once told me that
he likes you and would like to date
you. maybe he thinks that I went
behind him to court you” Jewel
responded.
“that’s absurd” Angel said.
“I have always believed that he was
the one sending me those messages,
and he just confirmed it with what he
just did.” Jewel said.
“This is really absurd. I need to put a
stop to this. I will confront him”
Angel said.
“no, you don’t need to talk to him. I
can handle this” Jewel objected.
“I have to, if not, this will keep
repeating itself” she said and stood
up.
“I will talk to you later”
Angel left the class to look for Henry.
*************************************
Angel stormed into the faculty
garden and walked straight to meet
Henry, who was sitting at the far left.
She stood in his front and stared
angrily at him. Henry looked up from
the book he was reading to see
Angel staring at him.
“hi Angel” he said, smiling.
Angel didn’t respond. she just kept
staring at him. Henry noticed that
she wasn’t smiling.
“what’s wrong? why the look on your
face?” Henry asked.

EPISODE 17

Henry lay on his bed, waiting for
Jessica. Jessica had earlier called to
inform him that she was coming. He
was about going to the restuarant to
have dinner when he received
Jessica’s call, and decided not to go,
since he believed that Jessica would
bring food along with her. He prefer
eating Jessica’s food than going to
the restuarant to eat. Few minutes
later, a knock sounded on the door.
“that must be her” he said.
He stood up and rushed to the door.
He opened the door to see Jessica
standing at the door. His face curved
in a smile when he realized that
Jessica brought that same handbag
she was with the last time she
visited. That means she brought
food.
‘Jessica never disappoints’ He
thought.
“hi Henry” Jessica said.
“hi” Henry responded.
“please come in”
Jessica entered and sat on Henry
bed. Henry also sat down beside her.
“where is Jewel?” Jessica asked.
“he has not returned yet” Henry
responded.
“okay” she said.
“so what do you want to learn today?”
Henry asked, and hoped that she
would ask them to have dinner first,
because he was really hungry.
But to his surprise, Jessica brought
out her book and showed him the
topic she wants him to explain to
her.
Henry acted cool and collected the
book from her.
Since she wanted him to explain the
topic first, he would do just that.
There’s no need to rush. The food is
here and not running away. When
they are done with the lecture. They
can eat the food then. As for now,
hunger can wait.
Henry began the lecture immediately.
He explained the topic to the best of
his knowledge, and also asked
Jessica questions from time to time,
for him to be sure that she
understood the topic. He spent an
hour and 30minutes explaining the
topic to Jessica. He was very tired
and hungry when he was done. He
couldn’t wait for Jessica to dish the
food so that they can eat.
Jessica opened her handbag and
brought out the food flask. Henry’s
face curved in a smile when he saw
the food flask.
‘so we can now eat’ Henry thought.
Jessica opened the food flask and
looked into in.
“what!” she exclaimed.
“how can my cousin return my food
flask to me without washing it.”
She showed Henry the food flask.
“Henry can you see now. I gave my
cousin food with this food flask, only
for her to return it without washing
it” she said.
Henry didn’t respond. He just stared
at her in disappointment. He was
hoping that she brought food, only
for her to shatter his heart with what
she just said.
Jessica’s face curved in a smile
when she saw the disappointed look
on Henry’s face. Everything she did
was already planned. She knew
Henry would be expecting her to
bring food, but she just had to
disappoint him. She wanted him to
see how important she is to him, and
that was the only way she could
show him. Henry might not notice her
if she doesn’t show him that she is
important to him, and that was the
best way to go about it.
“I will start leaving now” Jessica said
and stood up.

EPISODE 18

Jewel was seen alone in his room.
He was lying on his bed. Henry was
not yet back. A knock sounded on
the door. He stood up from his bed
and went to the door. He opened it to
find Francis at the door.
“hey Francis” he said.
“I need your advice Jewel” Francis
said.
“what is it? please come in.” Jewel
said and gave way for him to enter.
Francis entered and sat on Jewel’s
bed. Jewel sat down beside him.
“what is it Francis” Jewel asked.
“is it possible to date someone who
sees you only as a friend. how can
you let her know that you want to be
more than just a friend” Francis said.
“why do you asked?”
“nothing, I just want to know” Francis
said.
“Francis I can’t help you if you don’t
tell me the truth.” Jewel said.
“okay, it’s Lucy. I like her. I like her a
lot, but unfortunately, she only sees
me as a friend.” Francis said.
“it’s very possible for her to see you
differently, but it depends on how
you go about it.” Jewel said.
“what should I do then?” Francis
asked.
“okay, listen carefully” Jewel said.
Francis moved closer to Jewel and
listened with keen interest as Jewel
lectured him on what to do for Lucy
to start seeing him differently. Out of
the numerous things that Jewel said,
he took note of one important things.
And that’s, he should not be too
predictable.
He left Jewel room with the aim of
putting what he learned into practice.
***************************************
Everyone sat down quietly in class,
waiting for Daniel who said he has
an important information to pass.
Daniel walked into the class few
minutes later. He went straight to the
podium and face the class.
“I received an important information
from 300 level students. There will
be an intra departmental quiz next
week. Two students are to represent
each class. All other classes have
already selected their two
representative except for us. I don’t
know why our course adviser hasn’t
informed us of the quiz yet. There’s
no time anymore. we need to prepare
for it. so I am suggesting we should
vote right now to select the two
students that will represent us.”
Daniel said.
Jessica tapped Angel who was
sitting beside her at the far left.
“I thought you said that Dr. Femi has
already chosen you and Jewel.”
Jessica said.
“yes, but he told us not to mention it
to anyone.” Angel responded.
“but they are about to select two
students that will represent us.”
Jessica said.
“let them vote for who they want. if
the course adviser still want us to
represent the class, he will address
the class” Angel responded.
“okay, if you say so” Jessica said.
They focused their attention back on
Daniel who was still standing in front
of the class.
They all voted, and at the end of the
vote, Daniel and Henry were chosen
to represent the class. They stood in
front of the class and were
applauded. Dr. Femi walked into the
class a minute later. He went straight
to the podium and faced the class.
“there will be an intra level quiz next
week and two students will be
selected to represent your class.” Dr.
Femi said.
“we have already done that sir”
Daniel said.
“when?” Dr. Femi asked.
“just now” Daniel responded.
“whoever was chosen don’t need to
bother. I will select who will
represent your class.” Dr. Femi said.
“Jewel and Angel should stand up”
he ordered.
Angel and Jewel stood up
immediately.
“both of you will represent your
class” Dr. Femi said.
The look on Daniel and Henry’s face
when Dr. Femi said that was not
funny at all.
“so I want everyone to support them
in anyway you can. A win for them,
is a win for everyone.” Dr. Femi
continued.
Dr. Femi left the class immediately
he passed the information.
Daniel walked to meet Jewel
immediately Dr. Femi left and shook
hands with him.

EPISODE 19

The first person Jewel saw when he
got to his hostel was Daniel. Daniel
was waiting for him at his door. He
stared at him in surprise, as he didn’t
understand what Daniel was doing in
his hostel. Daniel stared back at him
with smiles.
“hi” Daniel said.
“hi” Jewel responded.
“what are you doing here?”
“I brought drink” Daniel responded
and showed Jewel the bottle in his
hand.
“what for?” Jewel asked.
“for us to celebrate tomorrow’s
victory.” Daniel responded.
“but it’s not certain that we will win
tomorrow’s quiz” Jewel said.
“I believe in you and Angel. I know
you guys will win it. that’s why I
brought this drink so that we can
celebrate in advance.” Daniel said.
“wow! I like you spirit. let’s drink
then.” Jewel said and opened his
door.
“please come in”
They both entered the room and sat
on Jewel’s bed.
“where is Henry?” Daniel asked.
“I don’t know” Jewel responded.
“he could have joined us in this
celebration.” Daniel said.
“thanks for believing in us” Jewel
said.
“you are welcome” Daniel responded
Jewel stood up and went to bring two
glasses. He handed it to Daniel and
Daniel poured the drink in it. Daniel
raised a glass and Jewel did same.
“to tomorrow success” Daniel said
and raised a glass.
“to tomorrow success” Jewel
responded.
They down the content immediately.
They poured more drink into their
glasses and drank.
Daniel stood up to leave when they
were done drinking.
“thanks very much for this. it gives
me the courage I need.” Jewel said.
“you are welcome. I will take my
leave now.” Daniel said.
“okay, see you tomorrow” Jewel said.
“see you too” Daniel responded and
left the room.
Jewel lay on his bed to rest a bit.
Few minutes after Daniel had left,
Henry walked into the room holding a
food flask. He walked straight to
meet Jewel and stretched the food
flask to him.
“what’s this?” Jewel said and sat up.
“Jessica gave me this food, but I
already had dinner. I don’t want it to
waste, that’s why I’m giving it to you”
Henry responded.
“okay, thanks. I will eat it. I haven’t
had dinner yet” Jewel said and
collected the food flask.
He opened it and started eating
immediately.
*****************************************
***
It was the day of the quiz. Angel sat
on her bed preparing herself for it.
She was revision all what she had
learnt. It was 8am already and the
quiz would begin by 10am. She
picked up her phone and dialed
Jewel’s number, to know if he was
ready. She placed the phone on her
ear and waited for him to pick up

Episode 20

Jessica rushed into Jewel’s hostel.
she walked from door to door until
she got to Jewel’s door. she entered
the room and was shocked when she
didn’t see Jewel in the room. She
brought out her phone and dialed
Angel’s number, but it was switched
off. She turned and left the room
immediately.
*****************************************
*
Jane was seen pacing up and down
in the waiting room of the medical
centre. she seemed very nervous.
She walked to a seat and sat down.
“what’s delaying them? I have been
waiting here for 3hours and no one
has said anything to me. what’s
really going on” she mumbled.
She stood up and continued pacing.
After pacing for some time, she went
back to sit on the seat she was
previously occupying. She bent and
rested her head on her thighs.
“hey Lucy” she heard her name.
She quickly raised her head to see
Jewel standing in her front. She
stood up immediately and hugged
him tightly.
“thank God you are okay. I was very
worried.” Lucy said.
“Thanks for bringing me here” Jewel
said.
Lucy freed him from her hold and
stared into his eyes.
“what did the doctor say happened to
you?” Lucy asked.

EPISODE 21

The class was almost filled.
Everyone sat down quietly waiting for
the lecturer to arrive. Angel, Jessica
and Lucy were sitting at the far left.
Francis and Henry were occupying
the back seat.
Jewel walked into the class few
minutes later with a swollen face. He
quietly went to the far right and sat
down. The lecturer walked into the
class immediately Jewel settled
down. He went straight to the podium
and faced the class.
“I believe you have all seen the first
semester examination timetable. Your
exams begin in two weeks time and I
hope you are all ready for it. This
will be the last time we will be
meeting, because next week is your
lecture free week. I will advise you to
revise all what you have learnt,
because questions will be set from
your note. That being said, let’s
proceed to today’s topic” He said and
walked to the board.
The lecture went on smoothly and
when lecture was over, the lecturer
gave them some areas of
concentration in the exam, before
leaving the class.
Angel hurried to meet Jewel
immediately the lecturer left the class
and sat beside him. she held his
hands and stared into his eyes.
“what happened to you? why is your
face swollen?” Angel asked, feeling
concerned.
Jewel took a side glance at Henry
and realized he wasn’t looking at
their direction.
“I fell” he lied.
He didn’t plan of telling Angel what
really happened to him, because the
last time he did, it didn’t end well.
“how come? Are you sure about that,
because it looks like someone
punched you.” Angel said.
“no one punched me. I fell. who will
dare punch me.” He responded.
“let me take a proper look at it.”

EPISODE 22

It’s been 2 weeks since they began
their first semester examination.
Jewel was very happy with the
exams he had done so far. He was
so sure he would make ‘A’ in all the
exams he had written so far. He
has just one paper left to write. He
sat on his bed, revising his note.
He dropped the book and stared
into air. He heaved a sigh of relief.
“so the semester has almost come
to an end. That means by weekend,
I will be returning back home. My
last paper is tomorrow, and it’s the
most difficult of them all. It
involves lot of calculations and
drawings. I will be needing my
calculator and mathematical set this
time around. I can’t wait to go
home. I need to see my parent. I
haven’t seen them for a long. I will
also miss my friends here. It has
been a great time here, and I wish
to continue it next semester.” He
said.
A knock on his door brought him
back to reality.
“come in, the door is open” Jewel
said.
The door opened to reveal Angel,
standing at the door. Jewel sat up
properly and stared at her.
“Angel!” Jewel called.
“Jewel” Angel said and walked into
the room.
“can I sit?”
“sure” Jewel responded.
“thanks” Angel said and sat down
on the bed.
The room suddenly became silent.
Jewel slowly turned to face Angel,
and saw her already staring at him.
He fixed his gaze on her and they
stared silently at each other. After
staring silently at each other for a
while, Jewel took his gaze off her.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,....

Episode 23

Angel stood outside the hall,
waiting for Henry to leave the
examination hall, so that she could
give him a piece of her mind. She
was very furious. Students were
already leaving the examination
hall, but Henry was yet to come
out. She paced up and down. Henry
emerged from the hall few minutes
later and walked towards the gate.
Angel sighted him and rushed to
meet him. She blocked his way and
glared at him. Henry stood still and
stared at her. He knew very well
that Angel was going to blame him
for what happened to Jewel.
“how could you? how could you do
this to your friend. how could you
be this wicked?” Angel barked.
“Angel, do you actually believe that
I did that to Jewel. I’m not
heartless.” Henry said.
“oh spare me that nonsense. Don’t
you dare defend yourself, because I
know you did this to Jewel.” Angel
barked.
“how can I do such a thing, when I
know very well that it might ruin his
future. that’s inhuman. I can get
angry easily and say harsh words,
but that’s all I can do. I can never
do anything to harm someone”
Henry said.
“you are not only a wicked person
but also a bloody liar. I wonder why
Jewel didn’t see the kind of person
you are, all this while” Angel said.
“Angel, I didn’t do it. you have to
believe me.” Henry said.
“I will rather believe the devil than
believe you. infact, you are no
different from a devil. If Jewel
hasn’t believed you, he wouldn’t
have ended up in this mess.” Angel
responded.
“your words are really hurting me”
Henry said.

EPISODE 24

Jewel was seen in his room
arranging his clothes in his bag. He
was planning of going home. He
couldn’t wait until weekend
anymore. He just wanted to leave
his room. His door suddenly
opened and Angel walked in. she
paused when she saw Jewel
arranging his clothes in his bag.
She became scared. she slowly
walked to meet Jewel.
“what are you doing? why are you
arranging your clothes in your bag.
I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.”
Angel said, curiously.
“I’m going back home. I can’t be in
this room anymore.” Jewel
responded.
“what about the school panels?
what did they say to you? what’s
your fate?” Angel asked.
“The semester has almost come to
an end, so I can’t face the panel
right now. I will face the panel
when we resume next semester.
that’s when my fate will be
decided.” Jewel said.
Angel held his hands and stared
into his eyes.
“we will overcome this. I’m very
sure of it. just have faith” Angel
assured him.
“yes I believe. I’m not guilty.
nothing will happen. I will resume
with my mates next semester.”
Jewel responded and zipped his
bag.
“yes, that’s the spirit” Angel said.
“I will start leaving now. I don’t
want Henry to meet me here. I
really don’t want to see his face
right now” Jewel said.
“yes, I understand” Angel
responded.
“I’m changing my hostel once I
resume next semester. I can’t be in
the same hostel with such a
person” Jewel said.
“yes, that’s what you should do”
Angel responded.
“okay, see you next semester” Jewel
said.
Angel hugged him immediately. she
hugged him tightly.
“I will miss you. I will miss you a
lot.” Angel said.
“I will miss you more” Jewel
responded.
Angel freed him and stared into his
eyes.
“we will resume together next
semester” Angel said.
“yes we will” Jewel responded.
“okay, let me see you off” Angel
said.
“okay” Jewel responded.
Angel assisted Jewel in carrying
his luggage and they left the room
together.
*******************************************
A cab pulled to an abrupt halt in
front of a black gate. The cab man
quickly alighted and went to the
trunk. He opened the trunk and
brought down the luggage in it.
“oga, we have reached your
location.” He said.
Jewel quickly alighted from the
cab.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know we are here
already” he said.
He had been sleeping all the way
back home and didn’t even realize
that he had reached his destination.
He was very tired. The drive back
home was rough. He settled the
cab man and he drove off. He
stared at the gate with smiles on
his face.
“mum, dad, I’m back home.” he
said.
He opened the gate and dragged
his luggage into the compound. It’s
a compound that houses four flats.
The compound was very silent and
no one could be seen around.
“as usual. everyone is in their flats.”
he said and dragged his luggage to
their own flat.
He stood at the door and heaved a
sigh of relief.
“finally, I’m home” he said and
knocked on the door.
Few seconds later, the door opened
to reveal a woman in her early
forties.
“Jewel!” the woman called,
surprised.
“mum” Jewel said.
Jewel’s mum hugged him
immediately.
“welcome home my son” she said.
“thanks mum” Jewel responded.
“I have missed you so much” she
said.
“I miss you too mum” Jewel
responded.
“please come in and rest. you must
be very tired.” she said and
assisted Jewel in carrying his bag
into the sitting room.
Jewel entered into the sitting room
and sat down on the sofa.
“mum, where is dad?” he asked.
“he has not returned from work” his
mum responded.
“okay” he said.
“I hope your exams went well” his
mum said.
“yes mum” he responded.
He was not ready to break the bad
news to his mother.
“okay son, let me get you
something to eat. I know you must
be very hungry.” he mum said and
went to the kitchen.
Jewel carried his luggage and went
straight to his room.
*******************************************
Angel lay on her bed and stared at
the ceiling. She looked very sad.
several thought were on her mind.
She stood up from her bed, brought
out her bag and started packing her
stuffs in it. The door suddenly
opened and Jessica walked in. she
saw Angel packing her things into
her bag and approached her.
“what are you doing?” Jessica
asked.
“I’m going home” Angel responded.
“I thought you said you won’t leave
until weekend” Jessica said.
“I changed my mind” Angel
responded......................................
