Hi-ii guys , I know its totally been a while, I hear some of y'all
asked about me(I feel like such a celeb) lol, I missed you guys too, but I'm
back now so I'm gonna be dropping some
ncgs experiences on a reg to make up for lost time, just for you of
course. Anyway enough play, lets get crazy here;-) .
I smiled wider and said thanks, it didn’t end there, he
asked me where I was headed I told him I was going to my lodge which is just
close to school gate, he told me he was going to the area and if I didn’t mind
a lift I could hop in.
Did I just hear you ask me if I didn't mind? well duhh what do
you think? I entered biko, the economy is bad, that transport can go a long
way…
So I got in and he zoomed off, and the usual questionnaire
followed
What is your name?where are you from ?bla bla bla*RME*
Then it got interesting {to me) when he asked if I’m a student, (usually the question that
follows this is, ‘what course and level’, I wasn’t disappointed, he asked me my
course and level, after I told him I’m a student, okay let me explain this now,
I’m studying a should I say controversial course? Because whenever people hear
it they start asking questions about the course, that day I wasn’t in the mood
to answer any unnecessary questions about my course so I just blurted out the
first course that came to my mind, it was microbiology (which happens to be my
roommate’s course). When I heard ‘wow, nice course’ I was already
congratulating myself until I heard ‘I graduated from microbiology about 5
years ago from this same school’. I sat straighter in my seat, I suspected what
was coming and I wasn’t disappointed, he started by asking, you’re going on IT
next semester right? That one was easy, I said yes’ he went further by asking
“who is your supervisor” that was a no brainier, I hadn’t heard my roommate talk
about any IT supervisor, if she had been assigned one, I would have heard about
it so it was easy to say ‘we haven’t been given’, I prayed he would stop there,
as if I can be that lucky*RME*, he took it up another notch by asking about one Mr. Chidi that was
his lecturer paddy when he was in
school,(I had no idea who Mr. Chidi is but) I replied ’he is fine’ (why
wouldn’t Mr. Chidi be fine?), he talked about many other lecturers as he wondered
which ones were still in school and which ones weren’t(in his mind, he had
found someone to update him on the happenings in MCB, if only he knew), I
pretended to be engrossed in my phone and gave him the occasional smiles and yeses and no’s as he told me stories about ’my supposed lecturers’.
I was beginning to relax again when the big jamb question
came
‘who is the HOD now?’
He asked,
my state at that
moment can’t be put into words, naturally I pretended like I hadn’t heard him, when he tried to ask
again, I told him to wait that I wanted to make a call, that was how I called
that person I call my roommate, I didn’t know what to tell her because
obviously this guy was seated right next to me so I cut the call in the pretext of network ish, I quickly typed a message to
my roommate asking her the name of her HOD, the message delivered but she
wasn’t online, I called her again and told her to come on whatsapp, I was doing
all this in embarrassment oh, that’s how that girl started asking me why,
telling me her battery was down that she couldn’t(I felt like crying)
immediately I cut the call, it was like the guy had been waiting for me to end
the call, he pounced on me with his question again, “Who is the HOD now?’ I
couldn’t say anything I just kept pressing my phone in silence, (only God can
understand the embarrassment of that moment). Finally my guy got the message
that I didn’t know the answer to that question, he went quiet (whenever I want to
torture myself I think about what he must have thought about me at that moment,
probably that I wasn’t a student and I was just posing as one or that I was a
student but all these non-academic students that sort their way through school
(or worse) that I couldn’t even say my HODs name, chai, two bad options) or worst still all this destiny thieves .
Well I and Mr. man whom I’ve forgotten his name now, spent
the remaining few minutes in a very uncomfortable, embarrassing (on my part)
silence. When we got to school gate I couldn’t wait to jump down but he held me
back asking for my number, embarrassment made me give him a wrong number, I
couldn’t deal abeg. Well I said thanks and he said welcome and bye and zoomed
off and I took my walk of shame to my lodge. Imagine how I missed someone who
might have been a good friend because of a stupid lie.
My lesson that day was never lie about a topic you know
nothing about, too many coincidences in the world. And you can imagine that my
wicked roommate had the effrontery to laugh after I told her about it.
