In the night, I couldn’t sleep but thought of the kind of life Ezekiel was living, the memory
of what i saw was not going out of my mind; it was as if someone pasted the picture into
my heart couple with all what Ezekiel explained. I didn’t come to term with the
friends with benefits stuff as i was hearing the
explanation for the first time, i later slept off
with my thought.
Ismaeel called me later the following morning
that it seems he wont be coming home as early as we thought that maybe he will be
coming home on Saturday or Sunday because
of his engagement where ever he was. I asked
him to tell me where he was but he said i
shouldn’t worry about it that he will explain
everything to me once his back and that was on a Wednesday.
From Wednesday to Saturday, it was just me,
Ezekiel and esther downstairs, the funniest
thing was that Esther didn’t even go to her
room again, she was sleeping and staying in
Ezekiel’s room. They will go out in Ezekiel’s
car, come back later in the day, put on generator anytime there was no power supply
and enjoy themselves. In fact they use to on
generator over night some times.
On Saturday, i told Mr Bolaji, the owner of the
coaching centre that i wont be coming again
since i will be resuming school and i will be
engaged in so many activities but rather than
agree with me, he pleaded with me that i
should try and manage schooling and the
teaching class together. He said he will adjust
my class to suit my school time table so that
their wont be disturbance and even if there is
a clash he can always reschedule his own
class for my sake. He even said he was ready
to increase my salary to N5,000.
I seek the advice of Ismaeel when he came
back and he advised me that i should take the
offer, in his word 2is it not even better than
the free tutorial i used to organized for my
course mate. This is a new means of income
and with this we can forget about home totally
because i believe 5k is enough for our upkeep.
I tried to find out about where he went to but
he didn’t even give me any concrete answer
so i decided to shelve it over with the thought
that it was his personal runs or something which he didn’t want me to know about that
he went for.
First semester 200level resumed fully and it was not different from the way i used my past
session but this time around i had to add my
coaching class to it. My course mates never
stop demanding for tutorials from me, my
MSSN contribution was also there as well as my coaching class. In fact it was as if i was a
full working class as i do come home around
7pm or 8pm every night.
Ismaeel noticed the change of attitude from
Ezekiel to me as time goes on, it was a
forceful friendship of sought, he always want
to talk to me same as Esther. Since i started
talking to them, i was also forced to be
coming out some night any time am free. If
everybody in the hostel was outside gisting
and i was not there, Ezekiel will make sure he
come and drag me out even though i don’t contribute much to their discussion.
