8/9/2019 The Thrill of Having a Roommates

1/2

The Thrill of having a classmateroommate whatever:

Freshers Ball Day:

Neat bed, her bucket at the corner of her bed.

Touch her bed or sniff on it she will scroll at you:

She forgets that she has a low bed and this is a decker;

So what should I do to climb to my bed?

My Dad knew it was a student was safe while staying in a hall:

A room with two double deckers is surely high school to me: who argues with dad? Himself was through

that kind of life and would say if asked we suffered then, you are lucky they are only your fellow sex

mates I dont understand the statement though my face frowns more at the thought of my intuitive

Dad.

Today is a day of freshers ball and I get up to clean myself and get ready and thats when my phone

rings that I am late for the lecturersits my course leader Annet.

Dont get surprised why I am being called, its not because Annet is friendly, Dad paid her 20.000 to

always update me and keep me on schedule; if I resist, she is to call him.

I always thought that being at university was a step in a life that meant am at last free form my Dadas

poking into my business; if things continue like this: I assure you I am much better off in high school

where I knew his poking was inevitable; here too?

I say to day no lectures for me and toss back to bed:

Lunch time saw my roommates in the room talking bragging about their crashes on their

classmatesOthers on some new freshers they saw at the dinning block.

These are second year girls wanting first year guys:

I thought woman was better off with a guy a bit older than her?

Looks like just keeping wondering doesnt suit here: Dear Hall:

Then my bedmate started talking of how this Muslim guy she met at a friends burial has been very good

to her..he does whatever she wants of him and brings her gifts..seh also pointed out that he is the one

who bought for her the kettle and her Kabiriti phone:

Not too bad.. the friend pointed out as they quenched their laughters with in their cheeks.

The mood was spoiled by me sliding off my bed ad mist

Akenly touching on her bed cover.

She growned at me . realizing that now they were glazing at me;

I said I am sorry and walked away closing the door behind me:

They launghed and I could here their echoes of their laughters to the main corridor.

At Last -The Ball

As dust gets to life: the excitement around the corridor of Pearl Hall is evident with the shouts and

screams of I guess fellow freshers as other students watch on with faces of no wonder these kids are so

fresh

Who cares any way: its my day I think as I get down to meet my classmate Cathy to get early to the Ball.

Along the way a few students were heading in the same direction and as we approached their was no

sign of music;

We reached to the main hall where the party was to take place and only one guy was seated in the

corner with his books to his desk: reading

Could it have been postponed without our notice? Or was there a change of venue?

We approached him and inquired.

He assured us we were at the right place and the party would be beginning in fifteen minutes..

How? I wonderedno music system or much less an organized room for a party

Them days of sosh were better off organized than this..freshers ball

He introduced himself as a guild president and assured us that the party our party would be the best

thing we have ever had.

Indeed after 15minutes: more students started coming in all causal dressed with their books:

Thank God ; we were in Jeans and t-shirts; otherwise we would have appeared like rose flowers to bees

The guild student rose from his corner and called the students to attention and we waited to the fun

part:

He welcomed the new people (us) from God knows where and advised us to interact with the rest of the

students to have a clear guidance on what we are obliged to be doing while at university.

He alluded that the students of this university have got a good image and we should keep it that way

unlike the other campus known to have student Prostitutes at Speke Road:

Whats Speke road? I wondered

He then concluded with thumbs up wishing us all the best to more fun interaction:

No music.what a faint.i whispered to Cathy

Then an ears dropping student tapped me that today its a Thursday ..so there is rock night at Steak

outand there is free transport:

I am in, I replied Cathy held my hand saying you dont even know the galwhat if.

Here there are no what ifs.she is a girl like me..Thats so cool.. I anxiously replied

I reminded her that there are not many friendly girls at this campus alluding to my bedmate. she nodded

Wed got to know our new clue mate by the name Monica.as we entered a waiting Van outside the

Main hall and we drove off from the wailings of the class representatives who were pointing out

discipline of their class mates.

Off to have the real fun: we drove past the light up buildings to a front of a gate with a post steak out
