WE BOTH DIED AT THE END

CHAPTER 4
(THE IGNORANCE CONTINUES)

I tried using my eyes to search around for Kate but couldn’t even see her and so I went back to Suzan but she was fast asleep.

“Hello Mama!” I was happy to hear the voice of my sweet mother.

“How are you my baby?”

“I’m fine just a little bit stressed”

“We heard the news from your school, hope you are alright?” My dad asked

“Yes, I am Dad. Everything is fine”

“Alright, please make sure you take your studies serious and never forget what we talked about before you left, alright?”

“I won’t dad. I promise I won’t” I smiled

“Take care of yourself darling”

They hung up the call and then I saw Suzan awake with a dull face.

“What’s up baby girl?”

“I’m fine. Can you escort me to a place tonight?”

“Yes, I can escort you but what do you mean by TONIGHT?”

“Maybe around 9pm”

“What? Where? And for what?”

“Na wa o! You ask too many questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?”

“Sorry babe, it’s just that I don’t fancy walking around at night”

“Well, we won’t walk around. We shall just meet a person, collect something and then come back. It won’t take 10 minutes. I promise!”

“Alright, till then”

So I got up and prepared some noodles for us to eat. After that, I took up my books and began to study while Suzan was busy chatting with her phone. She does that always and it was as if she was addicted to phone.

Amazingly, I’d never seen Suzan studying her books, never. Whenever I ask, she will say she pays maximum attention during lectures so her brain is capable of retaining information and so there’s no need for her to study the way I do.

It was around 8:30pm when Suzan woke me from sleep even though I didn’t know when I slept off.

“Babe, let’s go so that we can come back quickly”

I pretended not to hear but she kept tapping me and tapping me and then I reluctantly got up.

“Hope we won’t spend eternity there?”

“Nope, we won’t baby”

So, I got up and then we began to walk far down behind the Male hostel. We didn’t really talk because I was still feeling sleepy.

“There they are. Please wait here, I will be fast”

“Ok”

I stood there watching what was happening but I couldn’t really hear or see what they were doing but one thing was certain; Suzan was with two other guys.

While they were talking, Suzan kept looking back at me and one of the guys kept looking at me.

She didn’t take long and so we were walking back home already.

“What business did you do with two guys by this time of the night?”

“Oh, it was nothing serious just some set of guys that needed my assistance but had only night time to meet withme”

“Wow!”

That was all I could say.

I was in class the next morning and we were waiting for the lecturer and then I felt someone sat close to me. At first, I thought it was a guy but then when I turned, it was the lady I met last time (Kate).

“How are you Precious?”

“I’m fine. Wait a minute, are you a student here?”

“Yes I am and why did you ask?”

“Well, the last time you talked to me, I looked up but didn’t see you anymore. So, I thought you disappeared”

Kate led out a heavy burst of laughter and then I joined in later after realising how funny I may have sounded.

“But the truth is you still haven’t heed to my warning”

“What warning because you didn’t even speak clearly”

“Precious, you are playing with your life. It is not everything that looks good that is good. Can I ask you a question?”

“Yes, please go ahead”

“What did you come to school to do?”

“To study of cause”

“Then please do just that. Your attention is not needed everywhere. Always remember that nobody will come to rescue you”

“I’m still confuse. Please can you talk to me very clearly?”

“What I’m saying to you is clear already. All you have to do is to search yourself and what you’ve been doing”

“What are you….”

“Settle down class” the lecturer entered but I couldn’t take away my eyes from Kate for a time but she was focused on the Lecturer.

My phone beeped, I checked it and it was Suzan who sent me a text. A text that socked my bones.
