Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 12

On a very good Friday Morning, I was preparing to go for a class by 11 am, when I got a call from Thompson.

Thompson: Temy were my Money, you still dey owe me since you no wan give me abi.

Me: chill, you no say I no get ATM, and My class schedule is just too tight, I will give you your money.

Thompson: I need that money, badly. Me and Destiny dey come your house now.

Destiny was a very close friend to Thompson, although he wasn't in our department, but he was always around our halls. We all knew his intention. He just couldn't hide the fact that he was after our departmental girls.

Me: I dey go school right now, make we meet for Chris Oyakilomes hall, I dey wait you there.

Thompson: it's as if you don't understand me. I dey owe one senior man money, The guy is on my neck.

The word ''senior man'' in my school literally mean ''A member of a confranity". You don't mess with these guys.

Me: my money dey bank, I no fit skip lectures, and today na Friday. Follow the bros explain.

Thompson: when you dey come, bring your bank passbook. (He hung up)

''which kind guy be this wan now?'' I thought to myself. But he was my friend, I just couldn't fold my hands and watch my friend bleed. I just had to help him.

I got to Chris Oyakilomes hall, I waited patiently for Thompson to show up. He came along side his friend Destiny.

Me: Destiny how you doing?

Destiny: I just dey. Help my friend out. You know say, if money dey, I for assist.

Thompson: Temy, you brought the passbook?

Me: of course.

Thompson: write the amount wey you dey owe me and sign, I go go bank go withdraw the money.

Me: you sure say, the accountant no go know (feeling skeptical)

Destiny: my guy, no level. I don do am before.

Me: okay o. But if them hold you, don't call me o.

Thomson: Temy you too much.

I wrote down, the amount I was owing him, which was 5000 naira and I signed. They hurriedly left for GT bank, to cash the money. While, I went to class.

After 2 hours of waiting for lectures to commence, I became fed up. The lecturer didn't come. I therefore went to NFA, I got myself a cold can of Pepsi, and eventually began The Israelites journey towards the school main gate. I got home, my brother had already prepared Rice and Stew, which I ate voraciously. He wasn't at home. I therefore la!d on my bed after eating, thinking of Angel.

Not quiet long, my phone rang, it was Thompson. ''Hope this dude was able to collect this money'' I thought.

Me: Hello

Thompson: Temy, how fa where you dey?

Me: I dey house. You don collect the money?

Thompson: abeg, you fit show outside?

Me: okay, I dey come.

I immediately wore my short jean and a singlet and ran out side. To my greatest surprise, I saw Thompson and Destiny waving at me at the back of a Police Hilux. ''I done die, should I run?'' I asked myself.

Policeman 1: if you move, I go shoot you. Idiot

Policeman 2: so, you be thief abi.

Me: Oga I no be thief o.

I felt a mighty slap on my face. I could see stars, moon, and all the solar system revolving round my head. I had to regain myself, else, I might probably end up at YABA left.

Policeman 1: enter the hilux. Una go rotten for jail today. Igbo smokers, drug barons. Na una dey rob for night, thank God say we don catch you today.

Thompson: Temy no vex o.

Me: Mtcheww.
