Episode 16
My course rep was asking that I call her that she had something to tell me.
Lois was a girl of my age, she was chocolate like me but more beautiful. I was taller than her with a foot or thereabout. She was intelligent but I’m sure I would beat her anytime. She was also very classy since her mum was a member of the house of representative in her town. We had never gone past the “hi” and now, she was asking that I call.
I dialled her number immediately and she picked.
I left the sitting room and went to the sit out.
Me: Hello.
Lois: Hi Pamel. How’re you?
Me: I’m good. You….
Lois: Yes. Forgive me. I would have called but I’m having issues with mtn that’s why I asked that you call me.
Me: Oh. This mtn crew sef.
Lois: Bunch of fools. Once my subscription for this month ends, I’ll just switch to another network.
I smiled at the voice in which she said it.
Lois: Let me not bore you with my long talk shaa. Can I see you? Maybe in school tomorrow.
Me: Is there any problem?
Lois: Ehm not really. I trust its something you can handle.
Me: I’m a very curious person. Please tell me now.
Lois: Alright. But you should know, I’m not one to encroach on people’s private lives but I’ve observed you for a while now and you’re a very nice person, just that you love to stay on your own.
Me: Hmmm.
Lois: Your best friend. It’s about her.
I looked behind me to check if Franca was close.
Me: What do you mean?
Lois: My friend and I were in the cafeteria this afternoon when we heard her talking to a girl about you. I can’t really place it but it’s not a good one. I heard an attack that’s why I decided to reach out to you.
Me: An attack? And you were asking me to wait till tomorrow to tell me?
Lois: Are you both having issues?
Me: She wants my boyfriend.
Lois: Strange. You both are the kinda friends everyone wanna emulate. I really don’t like it now.
Me; See, I’m grateful for this information but please, tell me more, do you know how it’s going to happen or when?
Lois: Pamel, I don’t know or I would have told you. Just be careful and try not to be alone at any time. You get?
Me: Jesus, who will I be with nau? I don’t have any other friend except her. Jesus save me please.
Lois: I’ll see you in school tomorrow alright?
Me: Okay. Thanks very much. I’ll manage till morning.
Lois: Or maybe I can come to your place and walk you to school.
I heaved a sigh as I was already thinking of how I’ll walk alone to the bus stand that’ll take me to school.
Me: Thank you Lois. That’ll be very nice of you.
Lois: It’s alright. Good night then, I’ll see you tomorrow morning.
Me: Good night.
Lois: And please, don’t confront her yet.
Me: I won’t. Thanks a lot.
Lois: You’re welcome.
