it's really depressing being a shy introverted person with social disorder...I've been living like this for years.
that's why I can relate with the whole story.

EPISODE 7

O n our way home,
Mustack insisted on
knowing my place since
we were heading the
same way. I took him to my
place. I stay in a room self
contain very close to the
school. I could see Mustack
admiring the interior design of
my room when we entered the
room.

"nice place you have here" he
said.

"thanks"

He fixed his gaze on the two
plastic chair beside the bed.

"wetin chair dey do for your
room?" he asked

His question got me confused.
I wanted to ask him if he
didn't know what they are
made for. Like seriously, he
should know that it's there for
my visitors to sit on.

"it's there for my visitors
convenience" I answered.

he shook his head like I just
said something unbelievable.

"so if a lady visit you, you will
ask her to sit on that chair" he
said

"yes of course" I answered

"now I know you are still a
novice in this game. don't you
know that it would be difficult
for things to happen when
she's sitting on a chair. but
when she is sitting just beside
you on your bed, you won't
even have to stress yourself.
the closeness between you
both would stir up things."

All what Mustack said didn't
make any meaning to me. All I
knew was that those chairs
were supposed to be for my
visitors convenience.

"so are you saying that you
don't have any chair in your
room" I said

"what do I need a chair for
when there's a bed to sit on"
he answered

I still didn't understand what
he was saying, because I
believed those chairs were for
my visitors convenience.

"okay, since I have known
where you stay now, let me
start leaving before it get dark.
I still have something to do at
home" he said

"okay bro, no problem" I
responded.

I shook hand with him and he
left. I lay on my bed trying to
see if I could give any meaning
to what Mustack said.

The vibration of my phone
distracted me. I took the phone
and stared into the screen. my
heart missed a beat when I
saw an unknown number. I
still couldn't explain why I
always have this fear when I
see an incoming call from an
unknown caller. I could only
think of one person as the
caller, and that's Kate. why
would she be calling me now.
it's hasn't been up to an hour
we left the bar and she was
already calling. she should
have allowed me to rest first.
I quickly rehearsed a few
words I would say to her.

"hello Kate" I said immediately
I picked the call.

"hi Christian, this is not Kate,
this is Sharon"

My heart missed a beat at the
mention of Sharon.

"Sharon" I mumbled

How did she get my number. I
didn't remember giving her
my number. This was the part
I hated the most. I hated being
caught unaware. when I had
already rehearsed what to say
to Kate, thinking she was the
caller, it now happened to be
Sharon. What would I say to
her.

"how are you?" she asked

" hello.......... hello.......... hello
I can't hear you clearly. the
line is breaking" I said, making
it look like I couldn't hear
what she was saying.

"hello Christian, can you hear
me now?" she asked.

"hello............. hello..................
hello I can't hear you" I said
and ended the call before she
could speak further.

Before I pick a lady's call, I
always made sure that I
already have prepared speech
in order to reduce my
nervousness. I didn't rehearse
any word to say to Sharon
because I wasn't expecting her
to be the caller. I quickly
rehearsed what I would say
when she calls back. my phone
started ringing almost
immediately. I took a deep
breath and pick the call.

"hello" I said calmly

"hello Christian, can you hear
me now? this is Sharon"

"Sharon, how are you?" I asked

"I'm fine. you just left the class
like that. you didn't even allow
us to conclude our discussion
before leaving" she said

"I'm sorry Sharon. I received
an important call while in
class. I just had to leave before
class ended" I said

"okay, I just what to remind
you of our tutorial on
Monday" she said

"I'm aware" I said

"okay, I will talk to you later"
she said

"how did you get my number?"
I asked

I needed to know how she got
my number, because I didn't
remember giving her my
number.

"I got it from joy" she
responded

"okay, I see" I said

"talk to you later then"

"okay" she responded

I ended the call and heaved a
sigh of relief.

EPISODE 8


I stayed indoor all through
the weekend revising all
we had learnt for that
week. I kept getting
nervous as the new week drew
closer. maybe because it was
the week I would start the
tutorial with Sharon. I had
tried to assure myself that all
would be fine, but it didn't do
much because I kept getting
nervous. how will I sit alone
with her in a room and she
wouldn't notice I'm a shy guy.
I pray I don't embarrass
myself when I'm with her.

The new week came and I got
prepared for my first lecture
for that week. I took the
campus shuttle that would take
me directly to the building I
was having my lecture. I didn't
realize I was in the same bus
with my coursemate, Sylvia,
until she spoke to a lady
beside her. I made sure she
didn't notice I was in the same
bus with her. I quickly
brought out money from my
wallet and paid for the both of
us without letting her know. I
told the driver not to collect
money from her when she
tries to pay. I believed it was
the right thing for me to do.
when we got to our
destination, she tried to pay
but the driver told her that
someone had already paid for
her. she asked who was the
person and the driver pointed
at me. that was when she
realized I was in the same bus
with her. she approached me
and glared at me. the smile I
was trying to keep on my face
disappeared immediately. I
was thinking she was coming
to thank me, but the glare she
just shot me made me
nervous. she brought out some
money from her purse and
force it into my hand.

"next time don't try to pay for
me without my notice. I didn't
ask for your help" she said to
me in a note of warning.

She shot me one last glance
and walked out on me. I stood
at that particular spot like a
statue, staring at the direction
she took. I tried to remember
if I had said or done anything
wrong to her before for her to
direct such anger to me, but I
couldn't seem to remember
anything. this was too much
for me to bear. I have never
been this embarrassed all my
life. I wished I never paid for
her. I wished I had known this
would happen, I would have
avoided it. my leg suddenly
became too heavy for me to
lift. I managed to plod ahead to
where my first lecture was
holding.

All through the lecture, I didn't
concentrate. I kept trying to
figure out what I could have
done to that lady that made
her behave that way towards
me. could it be that someone
might have said something bad
about me to her. all my effort
to figure out what I could have
done was fruitless, because I
couldn't seem to remember
anything.

I stole glances at her from time
to time to see if she was
looking at my direction, but all
her attention seemed to be
focused on what the lecturer
in class was saying.

After lecture, I went to the
school restuarant to have
lunch. just when I was at the
counter placing my order, Kate
walked into the restuarant
with two of her friends. I
believed they had come there
to have lunch also. I tried as
much as possible to hide
behind the guy standing at the
counter with me, but my effort
was fruitless because she saw
me immediately she entered
the restuarant. she walked
towards me with her friends
right beside her.

"hi" I said immediately they
got to me.

"wow Christian! we meet
again" she said

"yeah" I responded.

"you came here to have lunch
right" she said

"not really. I'm not having my
lunch here. I'm buying in a
take away pack" I responded.

I initially wanted to have my
lunch in the restuarant, but
seeing Kate and her friends
made me changed my mind,
knowing fully well that I would
have to be on the same table
me them. That would be
deadly for me. I might just
collapse unknowingly.

"okay, but you are paying for
my lunch." Kate said

"no problem, you can order
for anything you want" I
responded

"are you not buying for us
also?" one of her friend asked.

"you can order for anyhing
you want also" i said to her

"thanks" the lady responded

"you are welcome" I said

I waited for them to order for
whatever they wanted so that I
could foot the bill.

Just when I was about paying
for their meal, the other lady
beside Kate distracted me.

"sorry, I hope you don't mind
paying for the one I'm taking
away" she said

My mood suddenly changed
when she made that statement.
I tried not to show the look of
disappointment on my face.
so if I pay for your meal here,
I would still pay for the one
you will take away. am I your
father?
That was what I wanted to say
but dare not say it.

"you can have anything you
want" I said against my
decision.

I watched with teary eyes as
they all place their order. the
amount of food they ordered
made me wonder if they
wanted to feed their families
with it. it was certain that I
would trek back home,
because I was sure there won't
be any money left with me
when they are done with their order

Episode 9


I left the restuarant with
just hundred naira. what
those ladies did to me
showed that they have no
conscience. They didn't
consider the fact that I'm a
student. I still thanked God
that the hundred naira left
with me would be enough for
me to take a bus back home.

After lecture for that day,
Sharon reminded me of our
tutorial and I assured her that
it would hold. she said she
would be coming to my place
by 6pm. I left the school
immediately to prepare myself
before she comes. I made sure
that everything in my room
were well arranged. I placed
the two plastic chairs in a spot
where it would be comfortable
for her, because I don't think
having it close to my bed
would be comfortable for her.

Just exactly 5:45pm, my phone
started ringing. I picked the
call when I realized Sharon
was the caller.

"hello Sharon" i said

"hi Christian. I'm on my way
now"

"okay, I'm waiting" I
responded

"I will be there in ten
minutes" she said

"okay" i responded

I ended the calll and took a
deep breath. I assured myself
that all would be well. I had
prepared for this already so I
had nothing to be scared of.

15minutes later, I heard a
knock on my door and I knew
she was the one. 'Christian
you can do this'. I said to
myself as I walked to the door.
I open the door and froze at
the beauty before me. I stared
at her open-mouthed. I knew
Sharon is a pretty lady, but
didn't know she is as gorgeous
as the lady standing at my
door. it was as if she came to
intimidate me with her
beauty.

"will you let me in or keep
staring at me" she said when I
didn't say a word after
opening the door.

"sorry" i said and quickly gave
way for her to enter. I locked
the door immediately she
entered. I could see her
admiring the beauty of my
room.

"wow! you have a nice place"
she said

"thanks" I responded

"please have a seat" I said
pointing at the plastic chair in
my room.

She ignored the chair I was
pointing at and went to sit on
my bed. I stood at a spot,
wondering if I was supposed to
sit beside her on my bed or
just sit on the plastic chair
instead.

"won't you come and sit down
let's start the tutorial" she said
when I wouldn't move from
the spot I was standing.

"oh sorry" i said and
immediately went to sit on the
bed.

I made sure there was a
reasonable distance between
us. she brought out her
notebook from her handbag
and move closer to me. Her
closeness made me
uncomfortable. I suddenly
became nervous. this was what
I was trying to avoid. I
wouldn't be able to tutor her if
I'm nervous. she flipped
through her notebook and
showed me a particular topic.

"I want us to start from here.
this particular topic had been
giving me headache."

Her face was very close to
mine as she speaks. i tried not
to look at her. I wasn't even
looking at what she was
showing me. I just fixed my
gaze on the two plastic chairs
in my room. she noticed I
wasn't looking at what she was
showing me.

"Christian, are you paying
attention to what I'm saying"
she asked

"yes" I said, directing my gaze
to the notebook she was
holding.

"so where should we start
from?" I asked

she showed me the topic she
wanted me to teach her.

"okay you want to learn how
to use implicit differentiation
to find the marginal rate of
technical substitution" I said

"yes, but that's not all. you
still have a lot to teach me, but
let's start from there"

"okay, where is your pen?" I
asked

she gave me her pen and
move even closer to me,
making her head to rest on my
shoulder. My room suddenly
became too hot for me to stay.
A hot sweat rolled from my
forehead down to my neck. my
heart was pounding faster.

"can we start" she asked

"okay" I responded

"marginal rate of technical
substitution is also known as
slope of an isoquant" I paused

"okay" I continued

"An isoquant depicts the
different combination of input
K and L that can be used to
produce a specific level of
quantity Q" I paused again

"okay" I continued
"one of such......."

"Christian!" she cut it
"why do you keep saying okay,
okay, okay. I already know all
what you are trying to explain.
I want you to move to the
calculation part. that's where
I'm having problem"

"you see Sharon"I said calmly
"I haven't been myself since I
returned from school today. I
have been having terrible
headache"

"why didn't you tell me all this
while?" she asked

she placed her hand on my
forehead.

"have you taking drugs?" she
asked

"yes" I responded

"you should have told me so
that I wouldn't have come.
your health is important and
you need to take good care of
yourself. maybe I will leave
and come back tomorrow" she
said

I heaved a sigh of relief when
she said that.

"okay. I'm really sorry" I
apologized

"you don't have to apologize.
your health comes first"

"thanks for your
understanding" I said

"okay see you tomorrow" she
said

"see you too" I responded

she stood up, carry her bag
and left
