Must Read: A NEW CREATION - Season 1 - Episode 53

“Are you in the house?” Hadijat said into her phone. Her car right in front of the Arch Angels mansion. Now that rest had return to the school and everyone was back, Hadijat, Rofiat and Halimat had also returned to their house but the Arch Angels mansion was no longer a place out of bounds for Hadijat and Halimat, like it was for other students, they could now visit the place without being stopped by anyone.
“Yes,” Gentle replied from the other end of the line.
“Okay, I’m outside now. Please come and meet me.” Hadijat said.
“Why don’t you come inside?” Gentle asked. “You know you’re very free here.”

“Yes, I know.” Hadijat said in a stressed tone. “But I don’t want to spend too much time.”
“Okay, give me a minute.”
“Okay,” Hadijat cut the call. Gentle had been disturbing her with calls and texts since he first week after the war, always asking her to come spend time with him in the Arch Angels mansion but she always had an excuse to give. One of the best excuses that always worked was that lecturers were speeding up lectures as so much time had been wasted already, so all students had to sit up if they want to follow the pace.

She wondered why it wasn’t Slimmy disturbing her so much, she would have gladly missed classes for him. But that was the irony of life, Slimmy sometimes seem not to notice her no matter what she did to draw his attention. He wouldn’t even reply her messages immediately on WhatsApp and sometimes when she sent him pictures of herself, he would only make boring comments no matter how seductive the pose was. At a time she had even tried to get his attention by making a collage of his photos with hers but he didn’t even notice the display picture until after three days when she brought his attention to it and his response was still not encouraging. All he said replied was ,”nice 8)” .
Her thoughts drifted off as she saw Gentle walk out of the gate. He turned to her direction and began to proceed towards the car. Hadijat put on her sunshades and stepped out of the car to wait for him.

“Hadijat,” he called softly as he stood in front of her.
“Good afternoon,” Hadijat greeted, adjusting her shades.
“Good afternoon, why didn’t you come in?” Gentle queried.
“I told you I didn’t want to stay long,” Hadijat reiterated.
“Why is it that you’re always busy when I ask you out and always rushing to somewhere when we meet?” Gentle frowned his face as he questioned.
“It’s not like that,” Hadijat sighed, “you should understand that now that we just resumed , we have a lot of work to do. The lecturers are running things so fast because the school calendar has been disrupted twice this semester alone…”
“Come on, stop that.” Gentle interrupted her with a wave of his hand, he was tired of listening to the same excuse over and over again. “Aren’t we all in the same school, we are all facing the same challenge.”
“Yes, I know but you are a guy and you know how to work out yourself but as a lady, if I don’t want to sleep with a lecturer, I must pass his exams.” Hadijat said.

“Shi*t!” Gentle cursed loudly. “Which d--n lecturer would demand that you sleep with him?” Gentle barked. “Or has anyone asked you already.”
“No,” Hadijat lied, knowing that if she had affirmed it , something bad was definitely going to happen to the lecturer.
“Are you sure?” Gentle asked. “Tell me now so I can put the motherf***er where he belongs,” Gentle slammed in anger.

“Gentle, there’s none.” Hadijat said sternly.
“Then why do we have a problem?”
“I still have to study to avoid such a case. You know I told you that I had some problems last year, I don’t want it to repeat itself.” Hadijat voiced, this time in a pleading tone.
“Why don’t you just tell me what problem it is? Then you don’t have to work your brains off to solve them. I can get them sorted out with a tap of my fingers.” Gentle pleaded back.
