Episode 3 The journey finally came to an end at exactly 10pm after so many lost minutes driving around the remote village trying to locate our supposedly accommodation. I was so tired and so was the other students, i noticed it was a huge compound with two buildings one was a duplex and the other a bungalow and all of us are supposed to be shared evenly in the room but it was too late for that, they were students from awka who were already there before us and just as usual the girls were bigger than guys. wow more girls!!! i heard my self say. nawa ooo i don deh fear oo. i took my backpack and headed to one room just to get some sleep my body needed it more than anything now. The next morning, the rooms were shared out 5persons in one room, nze and i already paid the owner of the lesson center who by the way was named o-mpa to give me one room all to myself cus it was part of the conditions i gave him on accepting the task of writing the exam. after the shuffling and sharing 11 more guys including me and the rooms were already filled up so o-mpa had to hire an isolated bungalow just a stone throw from the main compound. he shared the rooms among the boys and gave me one room. woow this is sure gonna be the best days of my life. we named our little isolated lodge THE NEW YORK LODGE i took time to arrange my room well, washed, cleaned, bot a carpet, a little mattress dat culd accomodate two comfortably, got pillows, plates and pots. after all said and done i made sure i pimped it to my taste obviously the best among the rest tho. the next day exams started in Ernest, it was practical chemistry, we went to school for the first time, it was a mixed school but girls too were obviously more. the day’s paper went by uneventful and the day ended. The next exam was on thursday, physics. i woke up by 8am hurriedly took my bath and skipped breakfast hitched a bike and rushed down to school, names were already been called out as i entered luckily enough they havent called me yet, UZOMMA EZE the invigilator rang, “present sir” i shouted raising my hands as i scrambled thru the maze of students eagerly waiting for their names to be called. the invigilator took a questioning look at me and re-adjusted his specs, he probably knw i was impersonating someone, a gul for that matter but who cares. the exam kicked off, i hurriedly went thru my paper i needed to finish up so i can help write for more people inside the hall to get more money, nobody should blame me am an igbo guy…lol. i did my thing wrote for a couple of guys and got ready to go home. someone tapped me on my back i turned sharply only to see chinwe looking squarely into my eyes with a pinch of sadness “tallest pls help me out” she managed to say with her answer sheet on her hand, i didnt need any soothsayer to tell me she was desperate. i said nothing, collected her books sat down and started writing for her, she just stood there looking as i wrote as fast as i could. within a short while i wrote everything down for her , handed it back to her with a smile and headed out of the exam hall, av had enof of thr books for one day. the exam ended and i waited for my lodeg-mates to come out from the hall when i saw chinwe walking towards me with a broad smile accross her face. “Tallest thank u very much” i smiled and tapped her . she offered we walk home together and i obliged. we talked abt many things, told her abt me n she told me abt her in getting to the main lodge i was about diverting to my own lodge wen she called me back. “I want to cook for u today to thank u” she said blushing. “hahaha noo u dont have to thank u ” i heard masef say. u deh madt?? my hrt countered common shut up and invite her. “Just tell me anything u want i will bring it to u” she cintinued “ok just get me anything u like ” i said just to close the talk. alright i will be at ur place this evening, sheey na im be dat house over there? she asked pointing at my lodge which was clearly visible from d main lodge. i nodded and we said our goodbyes with radiant smiles across our faces… To be continued
