I was sweating profusely and was really scared. The dream looked so real but when I woke up I was glad it was only a dream. I looked at chiomas corner and found her sleeping peacefully.

It was already a week to exam and everyone became more serious and were preparing diligently for the exam. We barely had time for gist and other stuffs. I sat on my bed going through the note I had made from my Acct 111 course. Boolu was hosting a birthday party tonight and I had a very important evening class to attend. She said it was her twentieth birthday party and wouldn't want any of her roommate out. Chioma had also insisted we turned up for even if we had any important thing to do. Earlier this afternoon, Ashley had a heated argument with boolu and Ashley had confessed that boolu's birthday had already passed and it was about four months ago That she didn't celebrate it then because she had no money. I had just been waking up from my afternoon siesta when I heard them and I pretended to be sleeping because I had the strength to separate anyone Incase they later get into a fight.

Daniel was already waiting for us outside the hostel. There were many cars packed in front of the hostel so it was kind of difficult to locate where he was. I thought he had actually booked an Uber but as we got there he was actually the one driving. He later told me he had gotten the car and wanted to surprise me. It was a beautiful black Benz.I was already dark and I could only see him well because of the street light. He was also dressed very smart in a Gucci designer wear."Hey babe" he said giving me a hug and kisses light kiss. Chioma just stood staring at us and she later whispered something into my ears about my boyfriend being damn cute.He and chioma also exchanged pleasantries aftet I introduced them and we got into the car.

Stepping on the dance floor, the Dj switched to my favourite hip hop music. I started twerking to the beat of the song the best way I could, swinging my hips. Almost all attention were now on me as I did so. It was probably the influence of the alcoholic that gave me such boldness as I have never done that before. Some group of people started cheering me and shouting on top of their voices.Some even later joined me in the dance and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I searched for Daniel with my eyes and found him watching me closely, blowing me a kiss when his eyes caught mine. I was really enjoying myself and it felt like I was floating in the clouds."Fine girl, wanna dance with me? A dark guy said as he came towards me, his height very intimidating. I noodded and he took my hands pulling me forward. I staggered and almost fell and he grabbed me with both hands."Are you sure you are okay? He asked steadying his grip on my hands. His nails dug into my skin and he was k

Then she went away talking to other people."Have you seen Ashley" I asked chioma. "I haven't really seen much of her tonight though, but I saw her standing at that far end with two girls, before she disappeared" Chioma said looking around."That's unlikely her o, who would have known she would have been quiet all through the party, I thought she would have caused a scene by now" I said and it got chioma laughing."Hello bitches" some one said from behind, and turning around behold it was Ashley."Talk of the devil, where have you behind, I just asked chioma about you now" I replied."I will gist you later my dear" she said all smiles."Hmm this one you dey s

It was yet another new week. Cool breeze brushed through my face as I walked back to my hostel after I finished jugging round the big five hostel that faced each other . The biggest of them all was the one I stayed at called queen Esther girls which was stood out and was at the center of them all.They were only seperated by the tall fences and large gates.It was said that in the past there was something mystical about this particular hostel. It was only allocated to pretty girls who starts behaving like people possessed by a strange spirit and it was very hard to get.Back then before you apply for the hostel and get it you better had better have connection. And most times it was only people who were relatives to the vice Chancellor or prominent people in the school that had privilege of staying there. That was before everything changed.I also heard that every middle of the night, a large black snake usually crawled round the hostel making a very mysterious noise which frighte

After I unknowingly dozed off once or twice in the reading room, I quietly picked up my books and headed back to the room. My eyes would probably be blood shot now as I was feeling very sleepy. The weather was extremely cold now and i imagine how I would fall on my bed and sleep peacefully with my big duvet all over me as iget to the room.As I walked through the Walk way that led to the stairs, I heard a noise from the far end of the compound near the fence. The solar energy that gave light to that part of the compound was bad and I couldn't see clearly. At that instant what was in my mind was to flee or run as fast as my leg could carry me to the room but something in me compelled me to find out what was that.I went closer putting on the flashlight in my phone to enable me see clearer because it was dark there. As I got closer I saw some one from the other side trying to get into the hostel, it was actually a guy on black all over. As soon as he saw me he jumped down and fled ins

I sat down quietly waiting to be given the answer script and question paper. The hall was not stuffy, jam-packed or hot as usual because people in our department were divided into about three groups to take the exam in different venues. "If you have any thing or any material that will implicate you kindly take it away. And again there's no room for exam malpractice, anyone who is caught would would be punished severely" one of the invigilators said shouting on top of her voice."And do you know what the punishment would be? She continued moving from side to side, "the person would have to write the exam again, that's carry over."Screw you all" someone scoffed, the voice was coming from someone at the back and the invigilator ignored it, it seemed they were used to that kind of stuff. Then they started sharing the question and answer script in an orderly manner.Good heaven's!, I heard someone exclaim beside me. It was obvious whoever it was had been given the question paper and was

"Good evening" I greeted casually taking a seat."Good evening too" He replied clearing his throat."Please go straight to the point, I don't have time" I said crossing my legs."How impatient you have become" He muttered rubbing his forehead like he always does when he was nervous.What he told me really shocked me. He talked about how his phone had been stolen the day he got home and how he had lost my contact. He talked about how he had received it after some weeks and expected my calls or text but never saw them.Then when school had resumed then he had gone back to school. And after some weeks he had expected me to visit him at least even though I never called but he never saw any sign of me.He said that after some months Martha had come to his place unexpectedly and told him that I had an accident and died in the process back at home. I couldn't believe my ears. I didn't believe him at first but then he asked me to call Martha myself and confirm it in his front. He said she had

It has been almost five years now since I had my baby and she was all grown up now. Everything had been moving very fine until she started asking me about her dad. That had happened when I came to pick her from schools. She had asked me why dad never picked her from school, stating that her friends dad always did so. I had assured her that one day, her dad would come back from were he had traveled to and wouldn't go leave her again, and that seemed to work as she stopped disturbing me about it.She was four years and five months old now but talked and reasoned like an adult sometimes, it really marveled me and people always says that she looked bigger than her age.I could say I was a successful woman now as I owned five big and well known eateries in five different states which I named after me and had some less privileged children studying on scholarship in different schools in my name. Money wasn't a problem to me anymore and I used my money to do good to people, especially the poor

There was a special way cooked the vegetables soup. I learnt it from Daniel and I realized that people really loved it. I usually add fresh paper and a little strong fresh tomatoes which gave it a wonderful colour."You're welcome, I really enjoyed it" He replied smiling."You're making me blush now, I'm really glad everyone loves the soup, including you" I said smiling. He nodded and was about leaving when he turned back."Emm...if you don't mind, there's an upcoming food competition I heard a friend talking about. It's being sponsored big companies.

She had started working with me some weeks ago."Alright Lizzy, I heard" I said handing the plate of food over to her.Although she was hardworking and very fast, since she started working some people complained that she had no manners and didn't know how to politely to people . I told her about it and she seemed to have improved.As a result of the character of some people that came around to buy food sometimes, I didn't like having blossom around at the shop and also no drink containing alcohol were sold at the shop.As I was about dishing another food out, my phone began to ring. The caller had no name as the number was not saved in my phone and I picked it up anyway, placing it on my ears and with the assistant of my shoulders as I continued with what I was doing."Hello? I said handing out the food to Lizzy who stood impatiently waiting. She took

Finally after four months and some weeks I entered into labour. It was on a weekend and fortunately Anabelle was around. I was immediately rushed to the hospital where I delivered a baby girl.Going into labour and delivering was really the one thing I dreaded most. I had told a nurse about that and how I feared that I might not survive it and she had assured me that I could bear it and after all the pains I would go through the joy of seeing the child would take them all away.That was really what had happened. At a time I thought I might even die as I couldn't bear the pain anymore but when I saw the face of the child, my child, the pain vanished and I became unconscious. Apart from the pains I pass through while pushing, there was no complications.I didn't know I had passed out until I woke up. I had been cleaned up now and I felt better. The baby was laid on my arms and it was a girl. She was so beautiful and looked so much like Daniel.Anabelle had come to see me that morn

It was a beautiful weekend. Anabelle had decided to accompany me to the boutique to buy some clothes and other things I needed. After bathing and dressing up we left for the boutique."This boutique sells good clothes at affordable price, not like those ones that put too much profit on their dresses" Anabelle said as we entered the boutique.It was filled with different people who had also come to buy clothes or hand bags. After getting some clothes a nightie and some other stuffs I needed we paid for it and left for the house. Anabelle also got herself some clothes, ripped jeans and some gowns.There was traffic on the road and we stayed in the bus longer than we were supposed to. I almost vomited there as the smell of the bus made me feel like throwing up but I held myself. Finally we were home. Anabelle wanted to make fried rice so I assisted her in cutting the carrots and cabbages as she washed and boiled the chicken we were going to cook it with."Do you like it boiled or fried"

I got to the park the next day at around nine o'clock Am in the morning as soon as I alighted from the bus, I called Anabelle immediately to inform her that I had gotten there and she told me she'd come and pick me right away and I say at a seat in the park waiting.It was beautiful here and the road was very busy with passersby going there various business.My eyes caught a pregnant woman along the road with a young man beside her holding her, which was obviously her husband. I watched as He held her protectively on her shoulders as they crossed the road.I didn't know when a tear dropped from my eyes to my cheek. I cleaned it angrily. I didn't know why I was becoming too emotional these days and could cry at any slighted thing. I looked down at my stomach, rubbing it gently and forcing myself not to break down and cry. There was no one to hold me like that, no shoulder to cry on right now. I looked at the road again and the couple's were already gone.After waiting for almost half a
