Chapter 15: Fatimah
Monday, being the first day of our examination I drove to school as early as possible. I had in the night went through my whole note again and again, I didn't believe in Adnan's linkage so I didn't even bother breaking it down talk more of reading it. I swear, my mind just did not give me. Something told me it was all fake.
As soon as I drove to school I headed straight to our department and met Qudrah and others reading thoroughly in the rest area as if they didn't read at home. I greeted them and just as I was about sitting with them an unfamiliar guy summoned us. He told us he was sent to assist Dr Marwan in invigilating us thus, he told us to convey ourselves into the exam hall.
Qudrah had always been the type that wanted front seats but not today. I was surprised how she held my wrist and walked us both to the back seat. That was where we stayed until a little adjustment was done when everyone had settled down. There were th

After putting on some powder on my face and gloss on my lips, I couldn't help but to look at myself in the mirror. Today would be my first day in school. Yes, I had gotten admission into a renown private university in Minna known as Zulu College. It was owned by a South African businessman, a godfather to my father. The school wasn't that far from our house hence there was no need for me to stay in the hostel. I could convey my self to and fro, you know? After all I had my personal car."Mum, dad, I am going" I announced while gently walking towards my parents in the sitting room with my bag's straps hanged on my shoulder and my car key dangling in my hand."Okay Fatimah, drive carefully" My mother said but my father? He only glared at me, that's all!"Alright, mum!" I uttered leaving, not minding my father. I was already used to his cold and aloof treatment towards me. I could count the times he had ever smiled at me, he literally didn't like me because I

Today I woke up as early as possible because I was having Dr. Marwan's course. It was a carry over course for me and I literally ought to give it my best this time around. While recklessly driving to school, I managed to light up a cigarette while listening to "Dear Bunmi", a song by one of the influential artists in the country. I loved the song, it used to remind me of my ex girlfriend – how I took advantage of her and dumped her. I had become a very bad boy these days, the opposite of whom I used to be in the past.As soon as I arrived at school and was driving to the faculty's parking lot, I noticed from afar that there was only one space available and someone with a Camry in front of me was already driving there. Thus, I overtook the person and parked there instead. It was fun and I didn't even look at the person when I stormed out of my car talk more of apologising for my selfishness. I hastily walked away from the scene and headed to my department. It was a mista

"The guy is handsome, I like him" Qudrah said as soon as we headed to my car in the parking lot. "But too bad I wasn't the one he sat with""Hey," I glanced at her. "I will not dissuade you from falling in love on your first day at school but will certainly warn you to stay away from that guy, he's not a good guy you know?" I said."I don't know, he looks good to me" She said."Good, right? Okay then!" I said unlocking my car."Wow, a brand new Camry!" She squealed."No, it is two years old! I've been maintaining it" I said and gestured to her to hop in. "Let me drive you to your destination" I hopped into the car."Awwn!" She hopped inside too. "Thanks dear, I live just few kilometers away from here" She said fastening her seatbelt."Alright" I said starting the car. Thus, I reversed out of the parking lot and drove us out of the school while we gist. "...my father owns the Bulama Cooperation" I apprised

While driving Adnan home he decided to drop in BeePrime GameSpot, it was our usual place of playing both offline and online games like GTA 5, RDR 2, FIFA and so on. After dropping him there and was about driving home he persuaded me to play some games with him first. "Look Adnan, I'm very tired, I need to...""Rest? You can do that after we are done playing GTA online, okay?""Fine then, fine!" I said alighting from my car."Yes!" He joyfully uttered.We went into the GameSpot, played for more than an hour before my phone began ringing. It was my mother, the only person that cared about me in our house. "Hey man, I gotta go. My mum is calling me" I said as I stood from where I was sitting in, it was a swivel chair designated for gamers. There were 200 more."Gosh, okay see you tomorrow!" Adnan said."Alright then" We shook hands and I left."Come back home!" My mother said as soon as I picked the ca

Today my timetable said I had lecture by ten in the morning but while snoring after Fajr prayer, Qudrah called and told me the timetable had been changed and that our new lecture time for today was eight dot. I was astounded, thus I withdrew from the bed and began preparing myself for school. The time now was quarter to eight, meaning I was about to be late. But why would the department change our timetable without notifying us beforehand? I wondered. I was so angry, the new timetable had ruined my morning sleep which would have given me more strength to concentrate during lectures.After preparing for school, I took my car key and G-Tab before biding my mother goodbye and driving to school. It was a swift drive, I parked the car in the faculty's parking lot and I headed to the department to check the new timetable even though I was few minutes late already. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't fed the wrong news.While walking towards the notification board m

Yesterday Adnan met me in L-Spot, together we ate breakfast and waited patiently for our lecture time. While waiting, Fatimah and her chubby friend arrived. I couldn't take my eyes off them because I was so surprised, I never thought they would be there. I stared at them as they ordered for food, glanced at me and then smiled while they talk to each other."You know them?" Adnan asked."Of course, yes. They are in 100 Level. I met them in that fool's fucking lecture" I uttered."Dr Marwan?" He smirked. "Just because you have his carryover doesn't mean he's a fool""Yes, and just because you don't have his carryover doesn't mean he's not a fool" I snapped at him."Hmm, okay" He said checking his wristwatch with his wide eyes. "Time's almost up, let's go""Come on, we still have 20 minutes more" I said as I checked my own time and then glanced at Fatimah. "Let's wait, Adnan...""Oh, is it about

Today I woke up as early as possible because I was having Dr Marwan's lecture again, and while driving to school I bought some snacks and coca cola along the way. When I arrived at our lecture venue, I met Qudrah and few other students already in the hall. Qudrah waved at me to come and sit close to her, she had secured a seat for me already in the front like she always used to do. She was a good student, always coming to school in time."Good morning" I said walking closer to her, she was wearing a black jallabiya today with a qhimar which fitter her perfectly the fact that she was fair though not as fair as Yusuf."Morning, Fatimah" She said clearing the seat she secured for me. "How are you and how was your night? I hope you slept well?""I am fine Qudrah, and yes... I slept well. How family? Hope they are fine?" I uttered."They are fine, dear!" She said and just then Dr M
