Continuation

I was so lost in fantasy that Silas had to tap severally before I could return to where he was. The girl and her friend collected their packaged food and started leaving, I was stunned by her beauty for she was drop dead gorgeous.

All that oozed about her was high class, I assessed her one more time,she had medium sized boobs and the gown she wore revealed a little of her cleavage. She stole a glance at me and I could swear that I saw her blushing before she left the Eatery. Silas roared in laughter, and spoke in a mocking manner “ close your mouth before fly turn am to garage, see forget that girl she no be your class. Even if motor jam you as you dey follow her she no go badu you just free her”

We finished our meal and paid for it. Since we had nothing more to do onCampus I suggested that we go back to the hostel. We boarded a campus shuttle to take us to the main gate, we could have trekked if not for the scorching effect of the sun. since the bus was not filled, we had to wait for students to come before we could begin movement. I saw other students trekking despite the hotness of the sun, they looked like refugees, I was glad that I was not among them.

Shortly, the bus was filled to maximum capacity, the driver collected the bus fare and started the car which made a squeaking noise as it sprang to life. The bus was very old and already due for a change, we had barely moved before the car engine started to emit fumes and staled.

The driver got down, opened his bonnet to discover that the car was over heating, out of anger all the students started raining curses on him and collected their money and decided to trek. The bus was on the road, so the driver pleaded that some persons should assist him control it to the other side, but nobody offered him any assistance since they were all angry at him for wasting their time. By the time we had gotten to the gate were already drenched in sweat.

We couldn’t find any bike at the usual spot they were usually found, Silas who had been quiet then spoke up “ which kind bad luck just follow us today,I never ready to trek again join this one, if I try to trek again, I go just faint for road I swear”

I was so tired to even say anything, luckily we saw someone alighting from a bike close to where wewerewaiting, despite our tiredness, we had renewed energy from no where and ran towards it, we agreed on a price and we are on our way home in a short while. We soon got to thehostel, alighted and paid the man his money. We laughed and make jokes about the activities of the day particularly when we ran to secure the bike.

CHAPTER TWO

Peter’s POV

I left the lecture Hall in an elated mood since I defied all odds to successfully attend the class and was included in the attendance for the first time. Few yards away from the Hall I met my hostel mate, Silas who was at the relaxation center.

I walked up to him and asked why he failed to call me before leaving that morning. “ my guy no vex abeg, me self wake late I no remember to call you”(don’t be offended, I also woke late, so I barely had time to call you). He replied, I was not satisfied with that response and asked that he get me something to eat before he would be forgiven. “ you self you too like food abeg” (you are a glutton), he said grinning. ‘ see this one, why you dey smile like goat way see salt lick, shey na because of food you de whine me like say u self no like Food’

I replied him We soon left the faculty, and took the tarred road that led to the fast food, We continued walking in silent and was close to the fast food when he broke the silence, “ so your girlfriend reserved a seat for you today” Who do you mean I inquired That fair lady you sat with during Lecture. He said, We all know her around the faculty she’s so full of her self, always thinking that others are inferior to her. Do you know that I even approached her earlier and inquired if there was space since I could only see her bag on the seat but she bluntly responded that it was already occupied, she’s so rude even though she is a sight to behold, silas retorted bitterly.

By this time we were already at the Fast food, the Door was opened for us by the security We placed order of fried rice with soft drinks, after collecting them, we located a free table and sat to eat. Silas kept asking me what magical spell I casted that made me found favor with the “Popular snob on campus”, but I hushed him ‘ no dey talk as you dey eat I no get money to carry your body go village if you die’
“ if I die here I go drag you join me na atleast make we go cruise for the other side”

We had almost finished eating when the Door opened and the mysterious lady at the Hall walked in with Her Friend. Back in class she was sitting so I couldn’t really assess her, but at that moment it was as though the entire world stopped for a minute, nothing mattered more than the lady who just walked in. the whole scene played in a slow motion in my head. She was really fair and her skin was glowing, it can be used in the dark as a form of illumination, she was tall for a lady though I was much taller than her, but on the average, she was definitely above my shoulder level and should stop just at my jaw. She wore a pink gown with a matching jacket.

The gown revealed her curves,she had a killer behind,one that would make a guy look back whenever she pass. I kept staring her, she came with her friend who sat close to her in class. They paid for a meal and asked that it should be packaged as a takeaway for them.

Stella’s POV

It was another Monday and as usual we had the “Devil incarnate” Dr Hassan, I really hated His Class. Am not a Biochemistry Student, but we in Microbiology department had to offer Enzymology which was the course of Dr Hassan as an Elective course in 300 level. I always won­dered why the management made it compulsory that we offer that elec­tive course, for the past 4 weeks I‘ve been attending, I can’t seem to fath­om what he keeps saying. I was only attending the class to be included in his so dreaded “List of life” so that I would be eligible to write his exams.

On that particular day, I was so reluctant to attend thanks to the night party I attended, I came back to the Hostel by 2 am and was still sleepy when my roommate Erica, woke me to get ready for class. I looked at the time and it was already six in the morning, I had barely slept. I slug­gishly had my bath and only applied white powder and red lip stick. We got to the Lecture Hall early and secured seats. I placed my bag on the seat between myself and Erica, as I didn’t want any inconvenience. The Lecturer came in shortly and had to leave immediately. I wished that he would become engaged and cancel the class so that I can go back Home to sleep.

I decided to listen to music since I was already getting bored and the Hall became noisy due to many clattering from students.

Students started to sneak inside since the man was not around. I no­ticed one who was really cute, he kept looking in all direction for a seat. He was dark skinned, slim and tall about 6 ft 1 inch tall. He wore a pat­terned long sleeve and a Black Chinos trouser. He looked frustrated as he couldn’t find any vacant seat and had a pitiful face, he had the exact look as a little puppy seeking for its owner. He was walking towards my direction since he settled to stand at the back.

I really don’t know why but unlike me I beckon on him, when he saw me he was taken aback and I blushed really hard. I was trying so hard to compose my self, because I just kept having butterfly feelings in my stom­ach and my blush was so obvious. He came in and sat in between myself and Erica, my roomie.

I was deep in thoughts and didn’t hear what he was saying, his coun­tenance changed since he had the impression that I purposely ignored him. Before I could apologize for that the Lecturer entered, Oh! why did he have to come back now I thought , he only came to take attendance for the day. After penning down my name and matriculation number, I looked to see if I will see my prince charming but couldn’t find him, Erica dragged me outside, urging that we pay a visit to the eatery I left reluc­tantly wondering where he disappeared to .

CHAPTER ONE

Peter’s POV (point of view)
I woke up that Monday morning, stretched myself on the Bed and yawned in a tired manner. I had the strong desire to remain in bed all through the day, but remembered that it was Monday morning already, I hate Mondays with passion. I wished that there were no lectures on Mondays, I was really reluctant to stand, when I suddenly remembered that we always had Dr Hassan by 8am, he always come to class and lock the door immediately it was five minutes past eight (8:05). I looked at the time and discovered that it was already 7:40am. I sprang from the Bed in a flash and dashed into the bathroom, I cursed my course mate Silas who stayed in the same hostel with me for failing to wake me. Dr Hassan’s class wasn’t one to joke with. The man is extremely strict with his attendance as he always instruct the course rep to carry out a head count before passing the attendance sheet, after the class he ensures that the names on the list corresponds to the initial number counted. He col­lates the information from these attendance sheets and produce a list of those to write his exam, once your name is not included in his list which he popularly called the “list of life”, then writing the exam is a futile effort as you would definitely carry it over to the next session. I had a hurried bath and in no time I was set to leave, I checked the time and it was 7:50am meaning I had about 15 minutes left. I locked my door and moved quickly towards the main road, as luck would have it I saw a free bike and flagged it down. Campus gate I told him and hopped on with­out even bothering to haggle the price. I kept praying silently that I should be allowed to enter the class since I had already missed 5 of Dr Hassan classes, so I couldn’t afford to miss any other. The Bike seemed to be moving at snail speed much to my displeasure.

‘ Oga do quick na, why you just dey move like say dem dey push your bike’ ( pls hurry up, you are too slow), I told him.

“See if you no wan go again better come down” the man angrily responded ( if you are not comfortable with my present speed kindly alight).

I kept glancing nervously at my watch throughout the journey to the campus gate, after what was like forever we finally arrived at the campus gate. I quickly paid him the usual #100 fee and started going, he called me back, I didn’t answer him but carried on since I was already running late, until he shouted

“ you don forget your change oo” ( hey you haven’t taken your change)

That was when it dawned on me that I had given him #500 instead of #100. I thanked him immensely and ran as though I was been chased by a mad dog.

I checked my time and I saw that it was already 8:10 am, at that point I felt like crying, how am I supposed to cope if I miss 6 of Dr Hassan’s class! . I walked to the campus shuttle Bus stop and luckily there was a bus waiting for just one passenger. I paid and entered, I kept praying silently for a miracle to happen so I don’t miss the class.

The bus stopped at the Faculty of Natural Science, I alighted and walked to the Department of Biochemistry and just as I expected I sight­ed Dr Hassan’s Prado Jeep at the Faculty’s Parking Lot, which meant that he was already around would probably be in class already. I walked to the departmental Lecture Hall and was surprised to hear noise coming from there, as I got close I saw the side doors opened and entered not minding the consequence of my action.

To my complete amazement, the Hall was devoid of any lecturer but the course code was boldly written on the board. I scanned through if I could see any place to sit, but couldn’t find any since the class was crowd­ed which was rather surprising, since I heard that his class was always scanty, because most people can’t make it to class before him and would have the doors shut to them.

I concluded on joining those standing and was walking towards the back of the Hall when I heard a soft melodious voice

“come over here there is space”

I looked over to where I heard the voice and was stunned for a minute, the melodious voice was from a lady, that was nothing short of perfection. She was light skinned with a very beautiful face, she had an ebony wig on her head with an airpod on her left ear. I walked in a brisk manner to where she was sitting and she took her handbag that was on the seat and gestured that I entered, I was then sandwiched by her at the extreme and another lady by the right.

I thanked her for her kind gesture and asked after the Lecturer but was surprised when she didn’t respond to me. I asked the lady by the right who told me that Dr Hassan came into the class as usual but received a call by the Dean of Students immediately he entered and had to harken to his call.

Within a short while the lecturer entered and was surprised to meet the hall filled with Students, he frowned and asked those standing to im­mediately vacate the Hall, I was really glad that I was already seated else I would have joined those leaving the class.

The lecture was very brief for reason best known to the Lecturer. He asked the course representative to carry out the usual head count before passing the attendance sheet, I was so happy that I was able to write my name on one of his attendance list.

I tried to see if I could locate my savior and thanked her once again but I discovered that she had mysteriously disappeared I shrugged my shoulder and left since I had no more Lecture for that day.

Prologue:

CHAPTER THREE
Stella’s POV
The following week, I searched for my mysterious admirer but couldn’t find him, I had tried getting him of my mind, but all efforts proved abortive. It was as though my sanity depended on him. I kept coming to the faculty Lecture Hall through out the week but I couldn’t find him, I usually come early and begin to look for him after securing two seats with the hope that he may come late again, and I would offer him seat, but I couldn’t. This continued for 3 weeks I kept searching, occasionally I would visit the fast food restaurant hoping to see him, but to no avail. I was getting frustrated and was surprised with how obsessed I was gradually becoming with finding him, it was as if I was a drug addict that needed drugs to be mentally balanced.


The fourth week of the month had me really bothered and scared, I wondered if he was fine and hoped nothing bad had happened to him, I started regretting why I did not ask for his number, when I saw him at the eatery or better still slipped, mine to him.
That particular Monday, I had prepared to attend Dr Hassan’s class as usual, I left Erica behind at the hostel because she attended a night party and had drunk so much rum. It was a friend of hers that called me to pick her up. Erica was the party type and she sometimes dragged me along with her. She couldn’t stay without partying and get drunk. She was so lucky that day because if not my timely intervention, she would have been probably raped or even killed because she left the club and was just lying beside the main road. I saw her in a messy state, her hair was roughen, I don’t know how but the little jacket she wore was opened leaving her bare breast to the open since she was braless, ad mist all these she was sleeping on the floor. I shook my Head, close to where she was I could see that she had disgorged. She obviously had too much drink. I picked her up took her home and cleaned her up. Then I carefully laid her on the bed.


When I was ready to leave the hostel, she was still sound asleep, so I left her to continue sleeping and went without her for Lectures. I looked around as usual for any sight of him, but couldn’t see him. It looked like he had vanished into thin air. I sat down and waited for the Lecturer to enter the class. He entered and as usual started his gibberish lecture, I so much hated his course if not for the fact that he doesn’t collect bribe I would have paid any amount willingly and stop attending this class. I started thinking about prince charming again, I was lost in thought until some one beside me tapped me and said the Lecturer is talking to you.
I was startled, and instantly knew that I was in trouble, I wonder how long he must have spoken to me without any response.
“young lady I said stand” Dr Hassan barked in an angry manner. This time I was more terrified because if Dr Hassan was to get angry with any student and looks for the matriculation number of such student then a carry over in that course would be eminent. There was a story of girl that had to spend two extra years in school just because she offended Dr Hassan, the thought of that made me tremble.

I stood up feeling embarrassed as all eyes were on me and faced Dr Hassan
“ I don’t know the relevance of you attending my class when you are obviously thinking of something else, answer this question or leave this lecture Hall and never return to it and don’t bother writing my Examination”.
Who proposed the lock and key model and in what year?
I was mute what the heck was that, I haven’t heard of that in my life I kept thinking of an answer to give
“I don’t have all day young lady if you don’t know just kindly walk out” he thundered.
I was preparing to leave when I heard a voice behind me whispered Emil Fischer 1894
Without even waiting for a second I just said it aloud
“ Emil Fischer in 1894 sir”,
he looked at me intently and said are you sure or someone told you.
I became calm and spoke with confidence that am 100 percent sure of my answer. He then asked me to sit. I heaved a sigh of relief, almost immediately his phone rang and he excused himself to pick the call outside. I turned to look at the person behind me who was my savior to thank him there he was again my mysterious prince charming. The very person that was responsible for my lack of concentration in class.
My heart started racing, my tongue became tied and I could not speak again I just faced forward right about the time Dr Hassan walked in and continue his class. Good gracious, that was close what if he had walked in to find me distracted again. I lost interest in the class but I had to focus before I attract unnecessary attention from the Lecturer again, putting me in more trouble.


The class ended and this time I was determined to speak to him at least even if it was just for some few minutes. After taking attendance for the day’s lecture, the Hall became rowdy so I turned to the back and signaled him that we meet outside. We followed the nearest exit door and soon we were out of the hall. While outside, I could see him at close range for the first time, he was quite tall and slim, dark in completion, was on a low cut with a well outlined hairline. He was very handsome, and had a well-trimmed goatee beard, little wonder I was tripping for him. He wore a dark blue jean trousers with a white t-shirt.
We stared at each other for a few seconds, I had to break the silence.
‘ you really saved my ass back there, thanks a bunch’ I said in a shy manner, I really don’t know why whenever am around him I keep acting silly.
“ oh about that, its nothing honestly, besides you once offered me seat so its more or less returning the favor” he replied in a very calm manner.
‘ am Stella by the way’ I did the formal introduction out stretching my hand for a shake.
“ Peter” he answered receiving my hands, his thumb caressing the dorsum of my hands while he kept staring at me, I blushed and switched my look to the ground in a shy manner. He held my hand a little longer than necessary before releasing it.
“ I guess I will be seeing you around” he said after he had released it. I had to come up with something that will make us spend more time together.
‘how about I buy you lunch’ I offered, it’s the least I can do to appreciate you.
“ oh that would not be necessary, am really fine”
‘ its not nice to turn a lady’s offer, atleast that what gentlemen do. I said. I just could not let him go not after searching for him for this long.
“ok if you really insist” he finally agreed.
We walked to the parking lot, after getting to where I packed my car, we got and I started the car.
‘ Lets go to a restaurant outside campus’ I said not wanting to attract unnecessary attention from campus gossipers.
‘ Don’t worry am not going to kidnap you’ I further added in a joking manner
“ Oh about that if I was to be kidnapped by a damsel like you, then am obliged to do your bidding” he said in a romantic manner.

I was overwhelmed with euphoria, and started blushing, I had to concentrate on the road so I don’t knock down some one. We arrived at the restaurant and was ushered in by the security, it felt like a date to me which was quite awkward as we were just meeting for the first time.
We placed order for soft drinks and snacks. I tried initiating a conversation, but he hushed me saying table manners, while I rolled my eyes. I was so free with him, which was quite surprising to me.
“ thanks for the meal” he said when he was done.
‘ my pleasure’ I responded. ‘Thanks once again, you must be really good to know the answer to that question, I have not heard that name before since I started attending Dr Hassan’s class.
“ that means you have not been attentive, he repeatedly mentioned that thrice in class today” he said
‘ well its not really my fault, I so much hate Enzymology, its just unfortunate all 300Level Students of Microbiology have to offer that course as an elective for this second semester, if I had an alternative I would have opted for that I swear’ I said
“ oh! you are in microbiology Department, no wonder I only get to see you on Mondays, because I only started seeing you recently” he answered. Seems someone also has been looking for me I thought smilling.
“ the course is not difficult, if you study hard” he further added
‘ so you are indirectly saying that am not serious’ I replied feigning anger
“ Erm not at all, what I really meant was if you study the right books, the Library has a good list of books on Enzymology concept, I make use of the Lecturer’s suggested text and augment it with those at the Library” he answered
‘ wow I have not been to the library, I was not even aware that there is one at the faculty, how can I get there? I asked.
“ you see! so I was not wrong after all that you are not the serious type” he answered laughing. I punched him playfully on his shoulder, he only laughed even more. I was really happy that we were getting along. He composed himself and spoke further:
“ The Library is located behind the faculty of Law, so first you need to get a library ID card, you make payment at the Bursary then a slip would be given that you would use in getting an ID card at the Library. It is that ID that would give you the permission to use the Library”.
He explained while I listened with keen interest. I looked at the time and it was already past the hour of three, can we still make it today I asked him
“ no the Bursary usually closes by 3pm, you would need to go there tomorrow”. He told me.
‘in that case why don’t you accompany me tomorrow there since you are acquainted with the entire process” I pleaded with Him.
He agreed, we exchanged Numbers there and agreed to meet at the faculty by 10am the next day, with that we parted ways. I felt fulfiled for that day, I drove happily for I had achieved a lot that day.

I got home and discovered that Erica had left the house, she didn’t even bother to tidy the house before leaving to what I assumed would be another party. This girl was really getting on my nerves , I picked my phone to call her but on a second though decided not to, as I did not want to spoil my happy mood.
I entered the kitchen to discover that the dishes for the last night meal was still in the sink, I sighed and started washing them, I am surely going to have words with Erica later concerning this. As soon as I was done with the dishes I went into the bedroom and changed. I carried my phone and wanted calling him, but I had to control myself. Even though I was already falling for him, I needed to allow him do the chase as the man. (check my signature to get the full book)
I proceeded to bathroom had a warm bath, I had already eaten so I wasn’t feeling hungry, I moved to the adjoining room that functioned as my study room. I tried reviewing what was taught that day, but couldn’t make anything out of it, Peter was right after all I had not been really serious as I should have. How could I when Erica hardly encourage me to read unless its exam period. She always ask me to follow her to almost all the parties she receives invitation for. I only recently started refusing, I really needed to be studious.
Since I couldn’t comprehend anything, I moved to the bedroom and soon I drifted off to dream land.

Thank u all please if u have register help me call others

I concluded on joining those standing and was walking towards the back of the Hall when I heard a soft melodious voice
“come over here there is space”

I kept praying silently that I should be allowed to enter the class since I had already missed 5 of Dr Hassan classes, so I couldn’t afford to miss any other. The Bike seemed to be moving at snail speed much to my displeasure.
‘ Oga do quick na, why you just dey move like say dem dey push your bike’ ( pls hurry up, you are too slow), I told him.
“See if you no wan go again better come down” the man angrily responded ( if you are not comfortable with my present speed kindly alight).
I kept glancing nervously at my watch throughout the journey to the campus gate, after what was like forever we finally arrived at the campus gate. I quickly paid him the usual #100 fee and started going, he called me back, I didn’t answer him but carried on since I was already running late, until he shouted
“ you don forget your change oo” ( hey you haven’t taken your change)
That was when it dawned on me that I had given him #500 instead of #100. I thanked him immensely and ran as though I was been chased by a mad dog.

I checked my time and I saw that it was already 8:10 am, at that point I felt like crying, how am I supposed to cope if I miss 6 of Dr Hassan’s class! . I walked to the campus shuttle Bus stop and luckily there was a bus waiting for just one passenger. I paid and entered, I kept praying silently for a miracle to happen so I don’t miss the class.
The bus stopped at the Faculty of Natural Science, I alighted and walked to the Department of Biochemistry and just as I expected I sighted Dr Hassan’s Prado Jeep at the Faculty’s Parking Lot, which meant that he was already around would probably be in class already. I walked to the departmental Lecture Hall and was surprised to hear noise coming from there, as I got close I saw the side doors opened and entered not minding the consequence of my action.

To my complete amazement, the Hall was devoid of any lecturer but the course code was boldly written on the board. I scanned through if I could see any place to sit, but couldn’t find any since the class was crowded which was rather surprising, since I heard that his class was always scanty, because most people can’t make it to class before him and would have the doors shut to them.
