Hey, let's sit here. No, why not there? I mean over there! Okay, this
place is better.... ..... ...... ...... If you've been to the
love garden before you'll know that each spot looks like every other
spot, moderately lit.., but the difference is just the view, you
definitely don't want to be the center of attention. ...We settled down, Shola brought out her phone and started surfing the net as I was looking around to find something funny to gist about.
Me: They call this place the love garden hurh?
Shola: Sure.
Me: Well I think every spot in Unilag is lovely. Everywhere is beautiful and...
Shola: Shhh... You're making noise.
See those guys. (She pointed at two lovers holding hands and looking at the sky)
Me: What's so interesting about the sky? Mtcheew
Shola: (Pointing at the sky... See that's Orion, the hunter... He's known for... )
Me : (cuts in) So you're into that constellation thingy? Why then are you studying economics? You should be studying something more like Witchcraft science, maybe not in Unilag, but you can always send an owl with your O'levels to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Shola: bwahahahahahahaha. You're an idiot.
Me: Do you have a boyfriend?
Shola: No
Me: Well here's the good news, you'll remain single till kingdom-come.
Shola: hmm, not as long as you're still around.
Me: Haven't you friendzoned me from day one?
Shola: Shut up.
.... ....... ......... .......... ........... .........
Me: what's all this noise about? The music and all that, you think it a turn-up party!?
Shola: Yeah, its faculty of arts's barbecue night, my roommates are all there.
Me: Hmmm. Let's go. Shall we?
...... ........ .........
Faculty of arts is adjacent to the love garden so it didn't take us more than a minute to get there. Unilag students have always had a great taste for barbecue nights and maybe parties in general. Some say faculty of arts hold the best barbecue nights, to some its the faculty of social science while to some both that's history, they say its sciences, all the same the credit goes to UNILAG.
..... ......... .......... ..........
Me: Shola You want a drink?
Shola: Sure I do? Give me the big cup.
Me: I can't carry you oO.
Shola: Shut up.
...... We bought 2 cups of the drink even though I don't drink, I just held it on my hand until she finished her's, then I played the role of the Cheerful giver. We sat down, watching all sort of moves, its looked like some kind of demon-exorcism exercise.....
Me: Unilag students can dance o,
Shola: you mean dance?
Me: what are you saying? You're drunk hun?
Shola: No. Let's dance or you can't dance?
.... .....
Soon we were in the middle of the crowd, dancing, jumping and shouting the lyrics amidst other obviously drunk fellows. I can't dance, so I was jumping up like 5 times per minute. In no time I was tired so I just stood still as I watched Shola dance like she won a grammy.
Shola: Let's go and get more drinks
Me: I didn't take my wallet, I've exhausted all my cash (I lied because I was trying to avoid another cup)
Shola: I'll pay.
....Choi...
We both went there and lucky enough there was just one cup left, she bought it and didn't even ask if I cared for some which I obviously don't.
Soon we were back at the dance floor, this time around I stopped the jumping-series and started swaying like I was drunk just like everyone else. You don't want to get caught! I told myself.
It was almost 11pm and it was time to leave, biobaku is a long walk from faculty of arts...
Me: Shola let's go.
Shola: Go to where, this is where I'll diiiiiiiiie.
Me: You're drunk hun?
Shola: I'm not drunk, I took only three cups, don't insult me. You can go if you want to go.
Me: We're leaving here together. We came together.
Shola: Cool story.
....After like 5minutes of argument she agreed to leave with me on one condition, a condition that was catalyzed by the drink she took.
We were to take the DLI road to first bank and then turn in Faculty of social science's direction to get to new hall where she stays. It was a stupid thing to do, but I had no choice had to make sure she gets to her hall safely.
We took the DLI road and it took like 30minutes for us to even get to first bank. Had to walk real slow to gain control of earth's geometry. She was cracking jokes, and laughing all by herself, I couldn't help it, those jokes where 3weeks dead.
Soon we were facing new hall and I thought of something cool to do, so I just wrote a short note
"...If only you could remember what you did this night, you'll forever run away from alcohol, " J.
I then hugged her and kept the note in her back pocket.
.... .... ....... ....... .......
I received her call first thing the next morning ... And it went like
Shola: Good Morning, please tell me I didn't do something silly yesterday.
Me: Shut up.
...to be continued. Episode 8. Porter pump Light!!!
