Episode 3
One afternoon, one of my classmates called me that a Senior was calling me, with ponding heart he showed me where I could locate the Senior with he telling me the Senior said I should come there alone. With ponding heart, I went only sigh at what I saw
Me: Good day sister Barbara
Barbara: Good day Richard, how are you doing?
Me: I’m doing well sister, hope you are too?
Barbara: yeah I am, actually I sent for you to check up on you and also inquire if the seniors are still disturbing you
Me: no sister after the warning you gave them, they’ve stopped, I didn’t really know you could defeat a nation with just your mouth, I said jovially hoping she wouldn’t be offended but she laughed at the joke(chai luck dey boom for my side, make I start to make my plans to rule the school) sister you have a very cute laughter, you should continue to do that as it can make a sad man laugh
Barbara: so you want to flirt with me and you calling me sister Barbara
Me: eno be like that sister, na compliment I pass to you to thank for saving me, I said before I realized I spoke broken English to a Senior
Barbara: wait a minute, which language is that? Don’t worry I think I have a job for you
It was a senior’s duty to punish you for any offense regarding academic work you do but I thought she would spare me but she went to the report to the girl’s prefect who indicated a piece of land in the forest reserve of Elite college for me to weed. “Shebi na this girl wicked pass” I thought. I went to class thinking of how I would be using my time to read and wash for weeding, we were later assigned to our groups as a group work was given and time arranged was at 5:30 just about 30minutes away from supper. One of the best things I like about the school was their incredible supper meal, I couldn’t expect less for such a school. I close, made all my classmate to leave, went in search of a cutlass hoping none of my classmates would see me but unfortunately I was spotted by Henry. He didn’t say anything so I opened my mouth and closed it again and continued to weed. With just a few weeds left to clear, Barbara came back holding food.
Barbara: hey Richard what’s up
Me: nothing sister, just finishing up the work
Barbara: don’t worry leave it, I brought you food
Me: “you wan put me for trouble again err” I thought, no sister I’m not hungry and I want to finish the work
Barbara: so are you denying me, fine I’m leaving
Me: I’m sorry, it’s just a hectic day, I said trying not to be mean
Barbara: don’t worry, come and eat I know you might have grown hungry by clearing all these weeds but you strong o
Me: wait is the bag containing? I’m afraid I wouldn’t accept it unless you join me
Barbara: join you? I bought it purposely for you
Me: you know I can’t take this food due to various reasons
Barbara: don’t worry I’m not thinking of anything bad and I would join you at least it’s the least I can do for ranting you out
We began to gist about everything that came in mind, we laughed like we were equals with each counting minute allowing us to get to know each other. She told me she had an average of 89, brilliant girls sha 1st year to 2nd year 89, hmmm. She also told me that it wasn’t a punishment she gave me as she just wanted to have a free, open and spirited conversation with me though I was amazed by her choice of words. She thought if she had sent them to bring me in, I would not come or if I come, I wouldn’t be open enough. We escorted each other just half way to the girl’s dorm, I saw Don Flexy coming out, he said his greetings and asked if I would be coming for the group studies? That was when I remembered I had to study, I bid Barbara goodbye as she promised she would catch up with me later. Flexy hailed me all the way from the girl’s dorm to the Library
Justin: My guy what’s up plus this fine girl
Me: Charley nothing o, na she be the Senior wey save me the other time no o
Justin: Charley then she good too o, she fine plus she good wey you no be bad yourself, na perfect match o

Me: ei bro I trust you, so you came to escort your sister
Justin: Charley na story for another day o
Justin gave me some advice on how to handle girls while hailing me till we reached library, we glanced and saw that it was only Betty who was present for our group discussion. “Bro take that girl practice, the more you take finer girls the better your confidence grows”, “chai, this girl wey I fall for the first time I spy her face na adey go vibe her” I thought and prayed God should help me as I embarked to seduce this girl
