Episode 9
I accepted Kujo without much persuasion. We were simply okay together, but after he got the chance to sleep with me when I got drunk on my birthday after trying an unknown drink which I thought was strawberry. He started ignoring me.
When I finally made it to the university he called and broke up with me. I was calm on the phone as he said those killing words.
"i can't continue with you. I'm so sorry" he muttered coldly. I asked if we could talk about it but he said his mind was made up. I had no choice than to accept my fate.
"if that is what will make you happy. It's cool" i murmured, hung up and cried my heart out.
I soon meet another guy on campus who said he was interested in me but I realized he also wanted sex from me and i had to run away from him.... I managed my life alone until months later when a guy helped me carry my things to my hostel as I came back from vacation.. He looked cool, handsome and tall, but i still felt he was just after me for fun. So I prepared my mind with answers to every question he could ask me...
"if he asks my name, I will tell him it isn't important. If he persists, I will give him a false name.. If he asks for my phone number. I will answer that i don't use phones" i reasoned as we walked to my lodge.
As soon as we got there, he dropped my bag and smiled at me.
"i'm Manuel by the way. A student here too. See you some other time". He said and left, disappointing me. Though i was impressed with his behaviour.
He didn't ask for my name or number.
A couple of weeks after, I meet him again around the administration section. We had the same problem, our paid fees had not reflected in the school file, making us unable to register our courses... We had a nice chat after solving our problems, he then invited me for lunch at his hostel which he wouldn't take no for an answer.
I went with him and what a great cook he was. My inquisitive eyes saw a choir sticker in his room which soon changed our topic of discussion..
"you sing?" I asked
"yes, i'm part of the university choir. Will you like to join?. You have a nice voice you know" he replied while I smiled at him, agreeing to join the choir..
When i joined the choir, I got to know he wasn't my mate. He was three years ahead of me, about completing
He was so close to me, shared the word of God with me, more like he knew my problem and knew how to help me...
