Episode 16
Early in the morning, he went out as usual to cleanse herself before go to pray. As I woke up with much energy and feeling of straffing uduak by night, I got the shock of my life while checking my phone. I got a massgae from uduak saying; she doesn’t think we can make it again today, which is matriculation day. Worst part of it, I have never planned any date with no one, thinking her own would be beter. So this how today would finaly go.
Before, I left home to motion ground on that day, it was almost 12:00pm. As they have finished addressing the students. Only those taking pictures remain for motion ground. I sha find my way there, hope to just have the memorable of that day in record in form of pic. While on motion ground scanning what on earth goin on. I saw a girl asking me to help take pictures for her friend with her phone. As first, I wanted to decline and got angry, but those chicks are so cool and clean. My mind begin to give me hope that, this could be my lucky day jareh. As I no want continue to put on moody on what uduak has done so far to spoil my day.
The girl that handed over phone to me then asked if we both can take the pix too.
I nodded in affirmative. We took pix in diference ways, holding each other as if we have knwn each other for long. She asked for my name when we through with pix and I got to know her name as uju from akwa ibon. There is something I discovered about the girls from EAST. They are free minded persons. Move with them for a day, is like you guys have been moving for long, unlike Yoruba girls….. Shiiiooooo, Yoruba girls, ee ti’e le!
We xchanged the number. She later broke the jinx by anounce most socking thing of my life which I am stil pounding up till today that; was she into me before?:
Uju: will you come to Fresher night tonight?
Me: ooooooh, I wish but I just don’t have mission there, cause I don’t know anyone over there.
