Chapter 3 (Meeting new friends)

Later that night

I decided to take a walk into the university to see who I can roll with while in school. The first person I saw was a girl sitting alone staring at the sky.

I walked to her and sat down beside her.

"You seem to be counting the stars of heaven" I said trying to bring on a conversation, she did not reply and didn't act as if someone was sitting beside her and I too decided to ignore her. I took my time in assessing all her qualities. She is fair in completion. Her face is the best face an Artist will want to draw because it is smooth and beautiful. I couldn't see her eyes but her lip was a tempting pink. And right now, I am even doubting if she is a Nigerian because she looks like a foreigner.

I stood up and decided to take a walk further to take a look around the area.

And I saw two guys discussing about the girl, I just stood up from beside. They were busy discussing how cold She is.

I took a stroll to check out the school and I was amazed about it.

I have really missed the first day at school but I won't avoid missing the second.

I got to the field that is as large as a stadium and has an audience seat and it could pass as a great field, not a high standard country stadium. I was surprised that students are playing football at this time of the night. There was light around the spot.

"It seems as if there is no rule prohibiting the students from playing football at night?" I asked a lady that was very interested in the ball being played.

"There is," She replied to me with a smile.

"So what's it?" I replied.

"The field will be empty by nine PM" She replied.

"Okay" I replied.

"You're new?" She asked.

"Yeah, just resuming today," I replied.

"Same here" She replied.

" But you seem to know more about…"

"It is because my father is a staff member in this school… I spend a lot of time here and my father is over there" She replied pointing to an elderly man.

"He is a senior coach?" I asked.

"Yeah..You will enjoy football in this school if you come around" She replied.

"I love this school already" I replied smiling.

"Why, boy on pink?" She asked with a smile and I chuckled.

"I did not see that coming," I replied.

"Yeah what did you expect? You are attracting unnecessary attention to yourself by dressing in most women's favorite color" She replied and I chuckled.

"So about my question?" She asked.

"I love football and the standard field, it is awesome" I replied.

"Yeah. K and Q university have a thing for football and the past alumni have brought great awards to the school. We are still the top three best schools in the world of football in higher institutions in the country, ``she replied.

"You have a thing for the ball?" I asked.

"No… Are you planning on joining the team because tomorrow is another selection day?" She replied.

"I will see to that," I replied.

"I am Sara," She introduced with a stretched hand.

"I'm Kevin" I replied and shook her.

"Oops, the match just ended" She said and true to her words, the footballers started walking out of the peach and the winning team was busy cheering.

"I guess so," She replied.

A guy suddenly hit another guy and he stood up to hit his own back.

"Oh. I did not see that coming" Sara said as she began to walk into the stadium and I followed.

"I will benched the two of you and you won't play in the first march" Sara's father said strictly.

"What caused the damn Fight?" He asked.

"He insulted me about me always being a weak player" the guy that hit the other said. As the other was glaring at him.

"You seem to know each other before but whatever issue you haven't settled at home should not be brought to school.

"I know you seem to be the best newbie striker but that does not give you the right to insult others that are inferior to you" The head coach said.

"I am sorry sir" He replied with no sign of guilt.

"I guess he is not" I said as almost everybody stared at me including Sara.

"I guess he is not the best striker.. Keep your pride in check boy" I replied with a smile and walked away.

"Kevin, wait for me, let's take a walk together," Sara said to me.

And I stopped walking and she got to me.

Her father said to my back, "I will like to see what you got tomorrow by 4 PM" and I gave a nod and walked on with his daughter.

She walked into a car pack.

"Where are you heading to?" I asked.

"To my car" She replied.

"Oops, I got it. I forget I am in a rich kids' school" I replied.

"I thought your parents were rich," she replied.

"No, she is not," I replied.

"Oopp, I understand, you have a single parent" She replied and smiled a little.

"Where are you saying inside the school hotel or outside?" She asked.

"I don't think you have to worry about that it is only the school fence that is demarcating my house from the school" I replied.

"Well lucky you," She replied, opening her car door.

"I think it would be risky for me," I replied.

"Get in.. let's move. Why did you say that?" She asked finally.

"That's because I am the only one leaving there" I replied getting into her sports car.

"I am suddenly getting worried for you," She said.

"I think you should forget about that," I replied.

"I am brave," I added and she smiled.

And just as she drove past that cold girl. I looked at her.

"That girl you are staring at is a multi billionaire daughter and her family is pretty close to the president, her name is Cora" She replied.

"Wow.. But why is she cold?" I asked.

"She is not.. She just doesn't really like boys but she plays with girls… She believes boys always fuck and dump and she is not ready to get into that game" She replied.

"Do you know her that much?" I asked.

"Not much, we just knew each other for one week" She replied driving out the school.

"Okay" I replied.

"Where is your house? She asked.

"To the right" I replied and she drove to the right and followed my lead packing in front of my house.

"Thanks for the ride" I said as I got out of the car.

"You are most welcome," She replied.

"Less I forget.. your department?" She asked.

"Public Administration" I replied.

"WOW, we are both rocking the same department. We will get to meet in school tomorrow" She replied with a smile.

"I will be looking forward to that," I replied.

"Bye," She replied.

"Bye" I replied and she drove off.

I got into the house, put off my tracker and remained my boxer. I dished out the food and ate.

After I was done eating, I decided to check out the backside of the house. I got to the door and it was not giving way. I suddenly got inpatient, hit my right hand on it and it fell flat to the floor. How is that even possible? The funny thing is that I did not feel the pain I always feel when I hit my hand on something.

I walked to the backyard and I could see that it was spacious.

There was a laid brick that is not higher than my waist separating the house from the bushes I am seeing. I took a stone and threw it and I watched it fly high, landing a million miles in the forest and I was amazed.

I got back to the back door and I walked to my tools box and began to do the door.

I can't avoid sleeping without a door protecting me in the little way it can. Anything can easily come in.

After I was done with the door, I landed on my bed and slept with the thought of seeing Sara and the Cold girl called Cora tomorrow.
