Must Read: My Life On Campus - Season 1 - Episode 55

I took an excuse, standing up from where I was sitting down. I was so not comfortable, I therefore hurriedly went into the toilet to ease myself. While I was urinating, I was thinking of the way forward, what was going to be my next plan of action?, I switched on the tap water and washed my hands while I began to think aloud.
''wetin I go con do now, see me see gobe which kind wahala be this, na me use my own hands take carry trouble o''. I stayed in the toilet after washing my hands, walking to and fro deeply thinking of what to do next.

''I no fit call my brother, he fit no get cash..... Or should I call Thompson?.. Noo, Thompson still dey owe me, that guy is broke... Chai! Na so I go take wash plate like this, na so police go take beat me anyhow?'' I pondered, arms akimbo.
All of a sudden, a thought stroked me. ''Temy you should jump through the toilet window and escape, no one will catch you''. I looked towards the toilet window, I could see how exposed it was. This was certainly the right spot to run. I was about to jump the window when another thought stroked me. ''Temy, why you wan leave the babe wey una two come together enter this restaurant, it's not fair o. Whatever situation you found yourself right now, you caused it''. I stood still like the statue of Liberty contemplating on which to follow.
I slowly went out of the toilet and peeped, looking towards the direction of Joan, who was already demolishing the plate of rice and turkey lap. I could see her flushing the food down her throat with the cold bottle of fanta. I slowly dipped my hands into my pocket and brought out the 1500 naira, looking at the little effect it could produce. I pitied myself.

I went straight back into the toilet yet again, and this time, I began to think deeply, I racked my brain completely and this time around another idea stroked me. ''Temy why don't you call Mayson?''.

I practically listened to my instinct. I called maysons line but he didnt pick up his phone. I repeated dialed his phone number but still yet, there was no response. I was at the point of giving up hope when one of my course mate walked into the toilet to ease himself.
Chucks: Temy wetin you dey do for toilet na... Abi no be Temy I dey see.

Me: bros, chucks, Kasala don burst o.
Chucks: wetin happen na?... Wait abeg make I piss first.

Chuck entered into the toilet, locked the door behind him and began to urinate. In no time, He came out the toilet, washed his hands and approached me.

Chucks: Temy abeg no vex o wetin happen?
Me: Chucks, the money wey I carry come for myself and my babe, no reach. Abeg you fit assist me, I go pay you back?
Chucks: and money no con dey like this o.
Me: ooboy! ( i tried to say something but nothing came out of my mouth)
Chucks: Temy sorry o.
Me: No wahala. I will try to sort it out.
Chucks: but Temy how much be the money sef?
Me: I just need a thousand five (1500).
Chucks: na small money na... I be think say na like 5k or more.
Me: thank you so much.

Chucks counted the 1500 naira, he gave it to me and I was indeed very grateful, I thanked him. Chucks had just saved a life, from public humiliation, police assault, public beating or maybe jungle justice.

I paid for the food she ate while She inserted the remaining bowl of salad into her bag. After I had paid for the food, Joan hugged me, Boarded a bike and zoomed off. I stood there looking at her bike disappear, ''she didn't even kiss me... only hug. nawa o'' i tot.

I sadly went home, looking defeated. I completely disliked Joan at that very instant. Our relationship ended at that very spot, no hope of revival even heaven can atest to it. While I was strolling down my street, I saw a lady waving towards my direction. ''na me she dey call?'' I wondered. As I approached her, I could notice how radiant she was looking. She was without no blemish. I didn't know her, she was the definition of beauty. She had a chocolate skin, nice boobs and a round ukwu. at that very moment I wanted to know her. I was so interested.

''ooh! Sorry. I thought you were my brother'' she said
''aww, sorry babe, I'm not your brother. I'm your soon to be husband'' I replied her smiling.

She smiled opening her set of white teeth. Her dimples was just perfect.
''fine girl, may I know your name?''
''I'm juliet''
''wao juliet??.. I guess, I should be your Romeo''.
