Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 17

Today is the worst day of life' I said to myself 'the girl I'm in love with has fallen for someone else already, that guy is truly lucky. But why didn't she tell me all along, I feel like a fool'. My young naive mind kept pondering.

I was awoken back to life by Marvis who forcefully entered my self contain room without knocking.

Me: Marvo, how you dey?

Marv: guy no dey ask me that question, wetin you cook, I'm So hunger right now. We have exam tomorrow I hope you're prepared. (He jumped on my bed and switched on my laptop)

Me: mtsheww. How I go prepare when you dey disturb me.

Marv: temy, nothing dey my head. Na expo I wan carry enter hall o.

We all know what ''expo'' is, ryt? Okay, ;D expo can be defined as ''Shukuli'', it's a small paper, or probably a big paper depending on the person carrying it, where valid informations are being writing. They are usually used during Large conferences, debates, speech and most especially Examination halls. It is like a reminder.

Me: take am easy make them no catch you o

Marv: Expo na my thing, I don dey do am tey tey since primary school.

Me: if you say so, let me organise, spaghetti for you.

Marv: you bam. You too much.

I went into the kitchen, brought out sardine and spaghetti. And I began cooking. Thoughts be clouded my mind. I was really not in a good mood. I just had to talk to someone and Marv the playboy was the right guy to discuss such matters with. After putting the food on the small cylinder gas, I went straight to my room where marvis was busy playing Need for speed, most wanted.

Me: Marv, you know that Angel babe na?

Marv: Yes, I remember her. (not looking at my direction but toward the PC screen)

Me: we spoke today...

Marv: she don finally gree for you (feeling amused)

Me: make I land first. She say she get boyfriend.

Marv: o boy! Bad market.(he paused the game) Hope you haven't fallen in love with her?

Me: marv. Right now, I'm so not myself. I've got feelings for her.

Marv: eyah! Doh.

''Doh'' is a Benin and Delta way of saying ''sorry''

Marv: don't worry I go find you better babe. No be this school we dey. You go follow us go supreme hotel on Saturday?

Me: you know say exam dey na. And I don't go to that kind of place.

Marv: me, Thompson, Mayson and some of my guys wan go lit that place up. Babes everywhere. You know how e dey be.

Me: holl up, lemme check whats on fire.

After about 30 mins, the food was ready. I had no appetite to eat, so I dished Marvis food out and served him, I could tell he was very hungry, with the way he consumed the spaghetti in less than 3 minutes.

Me: bros you fast o.

Marv: afa give me more. I still dey H.

Marvis stayed with me through out the afternoon till evening. My little brother came in, greeted us and went straight to the kitchen to finish whats left of the spaghetti.

Not too long, about 6:30pm in the evening. Marvis dropped the PC game pad and told me to escort him.

While walking through the hostel passage, I heard loud noises outside. ''na who be that'' I tot to myself. I had to go inquire due to the fact that we were the only boys at that very moment in the lodge. Others had go to school to read.

I came out to see a large crowd of people standing outside my lodge, they were all looking fearless, vexed and ready for attack. They had no weapons on them, but with the large chanting of justice and freedom, I could tell a few of them had weapons. These guys were well over 30 in number amongst them was ''Emafidon'' my neighbour.

I went straight to him, my heart was beating fast. ''has it come to this'' I tot ''why will emafidon, invite guys of a confranity to come judge an issue concerning our hostel''. The noise was getting louder, neighbours around came to watch the events that was about to unfold.

Me: emafidon, which kind of rubbish is this?

Emafidon: relax, we don see the shoe, we dey find who take am.

Me: you've seen it, yet you still invited strong men to our hostel abi?

I was so furious. Marvis, kept telling me to relax. He told me that they were vikings, a dreaded confranity group, he could also see amongst them Aye (Freedom Fighters) . My heart skipped twice.

I didn't feel for myself, but I felt for my brother who was just 18. He was too young to experience this kind of trauma.
