Angel Gets Engaged?
previous chapter | next chapter
"And what? Am I hearing right?"
"Yes, you are this is it" She showed me a not quite lovely ring, it looked artificial and not engagement like.
I almost burst into laughter but I knew doing that will be opening a hostile environment and I didn't want that
"Well it's a lovely ring" I said dishonestly
"I know, it's pure gold, it's the same one worn by his Mom when she did her engagement"
At this, I could almost burst with laughter but I had to hold on if not for Love but for peace
"Well, it doesn't really look like original gold to me, but what do I know really" I said covering up
"Have a nice engagement period" I said.
"Are you serious?" Bisola said.
"It's a lie," Suzan said.
They all surrounded her and were looking at the ring. But, their expression said otherwise.
As they were still chatting with her for my sake, Oyin and Seyi entered the room.
"Whatz up girl?! Where you dey since all this day, Na so your face scarce like fresh fish eh?
Seyi Love whatz up come and sit down. And na wah you were now coding from me about Chinma"
"Chinma that what?" he said
"About his engagement" I said.
"Oh that, how do you like it Angel"
"Nice, where is Chinma?" She asked
"He said he'll be around shortly, he's coming for you his love"
We all burst into laughter? Oyinda yarned me for a long time and finally left.
I was left with Seyi and Bisola, it was fun.
Bisola and Seyi are like cats and dogs if the truth be known, I believe ther is some sexual attraction bewteen them. They usually have long squabbles although pleasant.
They remind me of M and B's (Mills and Boone) stories where they fight endlessly but later get married.
I sincerely hope the latter wouldn't happen, he loves me anyway, I continually pray nothing makes the love go away.
Around 8:00pm Chinma showed face, he and Angel decided that of all people to grace their face at their corner, it was I Gosh! I couldn't chase them away, I had to pretend it was okay with us through I was boiling like hell.
We all cracked jokes Bisola inclusive and they told us of their antics when they went out.
They left around 10:00pm, we all saw them off.
We went back to the hall to gist and yarn.
On Wednesday, I went for class. I went with Tolu and our lecturer asked her to see him in the office. The lecturer is a randy one, well known for his antics, you pay in kind if you're a girl to pass his course.
Why must it always be girls, they should start chasing boys as well, after all there is such thing as homosexuals but no they prefer us. I hate to say this "the weaker sex", well because of these randy people, I've stopped wearing my scandalous skirts because I seem to be a magnet for these randy lecturers.
Now I wear trousers or a skirt that must be below my knees (Ankle length) because I didn't like calf length.
It was the scandalous thing she wore that attracted attention to her, she told me to wait for her after the lectures.
I waited more than hour after the man's lecture; I didn't see her maybe they're having a quickie nothing is beyond her to do.
I was almost to enter my hall gate when I heard my name, it was Biodun.
"Whatz up now?" I asked
"Nothing jare"
"Hey, do you have to make my friend miserable?" I asked
"She made herself miserable, anyway if she wants to see me. She knows where I am"
"Don't say that now, just ask her to come and see you" I volunteered
"No, after disgracing me in front of my family. Did she tell you what she did?"
"She did and she's been reprimanded, she can't be suffering for it forever you know. Anyway, don't worry she'll come and see you today".
We gisted some more and I left for my room. Bisola came around 7:00pm.
