Paula walked into the library complex as she thought of how the guy had responded, no one said everyone in the university is nice she said to herself as she climbed the stairs. As she went into the lecture hall she saw the same guy in the hall still reading his book. She sat behind him as the lecturer walked in. …..Lecture is on, Paula couldn’t get the incident off her mind. She then decided to talk to him after lectures so she could get it off her mind.Lecture ended. The lecturer left, Paula waited as the guy continued his reading . She proceeded to meet him. Hi she said. This time stretching forth her right hand for a handshake. I’m Paula. The young man lifted his eyes shook her hand and said I’m Michael.

Young lady what did you come to the higher institution to ? Greet everybody and everything you see? Focus on your studies , That’s the only thing that@ should be on your mind..he then let go of her hand. She was dumbfounded as walked out of the lecture hall. Isn’t he being rude and inhuman? She thought to herself. Soon she was done for the day and headed home. How was school today? Her mother asked. Mum it would have been a perfect day if the first person I met in school was nice enough. ……. tell me about it her mother said. She narrated everything that transpired between her and Michael. wow!

She then went to her room to read but fell asleep shortly, In her dream was Michael holding her hand and taking her around a Zoo. telling her stories of animals, then suddenly he let go of her hand and turned into a mighty cobra.
