When Sophia’s mother, Martha, finished mowing the lawn in front of her house, she stepped inside the living room and discovered that her daughter’s friend, Sandra, was still waiting for her classmate. She frowned and called out, “Sophia, what are you still doing inside? Sandra is still waiting for you.” She turned around and said to Sandra, “I wonder why she is taking long.”“Sophia, you guys will be late,” Martha shouted.“Okay, mum. I will join you guys in a moment,” Sophia said from inside her room.Sophia and Sandra had just finished high school and were about to go to the graduation party at their school, King’s High School. They had waited for a long time to have their last party as high school students. They were so enthusiastic about it.“Ready, ready! How do I look, Sandra?” Sophia said beaming with a smile as she emerged in a pink ball
Sophia had to hurry because she heard her phone rang repeatedly. She managed to pick before it stopped ringing. It was Larry. He was on the other end of the line. He was also outside the door of their house. Her heart raced as thoughts of him flooded her mind.“Oh Larry, I'm so sorry. I have missed your calls. I was in the bathroom. Please, I will join you soon. Give me a moment,” she said.“Alright, I will be waiting,” Larry said.“Do you mind coming in? My mum won't mind.”“Sure! I don't mind. I will like to meet her.”“Alright, then I will join you soon.”Although Sophia had informed her mum about Larry's visit, she was still a bit uncomfortable. She was not sure of how her mum would see him.She was still not sure of what to wear. She needed to look exceptional, this being her first date with Larry since the inception of their friendship.Sandra had told her to wear her royal blue
“Larry! What are you saying? Don't tell me that you are planning to date that girl. She has just a few days or weeks to live. You are not even a university graduate yet.” Caleb was so angry with Larry with the thought of dating Sophia. He only wanted him to be there for her during her last moment. Larry couldn't lie about his feelings for Sophia. It was a love that emanated from a true friendship.He told himself that he would stand by Sophia till the end. Larry's parents didn't object to his idea of dating Sophia because her stay at their place was full of joyful memories—especially her last visit on her birthday. It was a glorious occasion. Sandra danced and joined Sophia to sing. Both girls entertained everyone that was in attendance.Larry was a very calm and calculative young man and full of humor. At first glance, most people would think he was very unserious. But he knew better and he knew how to get what he wanted out of life.He knew t
It was a week to the day Sophia would leave for school. She fell sick and was admitted to the hospital. It was very critical. She was in a coma for almost two days. Her mum was devastated. She thought Sophia was gone forever but Larry kept on encouraging her that coma didn’t mean death. There was hope she would come back.Larry couldn't break down before Sophia's mum but he was very much in pain. He couldn't eat for days having lost every appetite in him. The hospital became his home because he couldn't bear to leave Sophia's side. It was a week he wouldn’t forget in a hurry.Sophia jerked out of a coma in the evening of the third day but remained unconscious until after the doctor administered drugs. She became fully awake the next day. The joy that leaped from Larry was second to none. He couldn't contain his joy that he almost lifted Sophia from her sickbed.He instantly called Sophia's mum to give her the exciting news. The doctor had
Sophia and Larry drove off to the bus stop, They arrived a little late, on getting there the first bus has left and they had to wait for the next one. It was a long wait but they didn't feel it much because they had to spend that time getting to know each other well. They talked about so many things, it was shocking to Sophia that Larry Also loves reading books. She has always seen him as a spirited fellow who is so indifferent about books, he hardly visits the library at high school, sometimes she wonders how he managed to excel and even got admission into Berkeley University. Larry had to let the cat out of the bag when she persisted to know how much he reads. Larry told her that he belongs to the category of people that don't need to read long to understand, all he needs, Is to stay in class and then read at night. He made Sophia understand the need for everyone to understand how they assimilate what is being taught or what they read because this helps in saving them a lot

Larry was waiting at the Student's park, a place with a beautiful garden where most of the male students meet with their female friends because they can't enter the female hostel and vise versa. He was seated under the oak tree enjoying the cool breeze of the evening waiting patiently for Sophia. He had called Sophia over the phone and informed her of his waiting, meanwhile, Sophia was doing her laundry and promised to join him as soon as she finishes. Larry took a book with him because he was sure of having a long wait knowing how females can be with their preparation. He was reading 'The Price of a Jewel' it was part of the novels recommended for them in their first year. It was an interesting Novel, he had once told his roommate James how he enjoyed reading the book. He was so engrossed in the book when Sophia showed up and she decided to play a little prank on him, she tiptoed and slowly walked towards where he was seated and covered his face with her two palms.

Sophia couldn't find her lecture venue after a long search, she left early because the Professor has fixed the class at 7 am. She almost toured the whole building until she finally met one of her course mate who was on his way to the venue. She joined Dave at the venue and met the Professor already teaching in the class. She was angry with herself for not asking properly the first time. The building was one of the first she has been to earlier but was misdirected by the cleaner she met in front of the building. She sat close to Dave who made a space for her to sit. She gave him a thankful gesture and focused on the Professor who was almost concluding his lectures. Dave offered to assist her by giving his notepad to her because he has been in class before he left to get something which made him meet Sophia looking around for the venue."That is very kind of you Dave", thank you. Sophia was very grateful as Dave gave her the notepad.You are welcome Sophia, "at least t
