Must Read: Chronicles Of Temy (My Life On Campus) - Season 1 - Episode 2

I got to the campus in time. Infact, I was there before the Lecturer. The hall was filled to brim with with my coursemates and some few other carry over students, we all waited patiently for the arrival of our lecturer.

While I was in the hall I searched for the presence of Mayson and Thompson but I couldn't find them.

''oboy! Where these guys con dey like this'' I wondered as I took my sit as usual at the back of the hall. ''this test carries 30 marks, they shouldn't miss this test for no reason''.

I dialed Maysons and Thompsons number yet again for the umpteenth time but the network provider kept saying ''The number you've dialed is switched off please try again later''.

''But why Mayson number go dey switched off, no be Mayson first me jump the barbwire?'' I tot while having a flashback of that crazy incident. I was brought back to reality by Angel, my course mate and my one time crush.

''Temy, good morning, I'm sitting down beside you today o'' she said with a smile on her face. ''how you dey na?''.

I looked at her with a pretentious smile on my face.

''I'm good and you?'' I mumbled.

'I'm fine'' she said.

There was an awkward moment of silence between us, as I could observe Angel staring at me.

''Temy what's happening why are you so quiet today, this is unlike you'' she said finally breaking the silence.

I looked at her and wondered if she knew the thoughts that were running through my mind at that very moment. Like, how the heck could I reveal to her that, I had lost my girlfriend to my silly womanizer neighbour, Emafidon or that my friends and I were ambushed by the Nigerian army because of the fact that we were burning weed and in the process Thompson and Smart were caught, like were do I start from?.

I drew Angel closer to me and told her not to worry herself that I'd be fine. I saw concern written all over face.

''babe, I'm just stressed up'' I said. ''I just can't wait to be done with this test''.

''everything will be fine you hear'' she said as she drew me closer to her soft body. Angel was actually my one time love, though we didn't have the kind of intimacy we had then but we were still very good friends.

''em, Temy.. Where are your friends?'' she asked. ''Test will soon start o''

''they will soon come, don't worry'' I assured her.
In no time, our lecturer, Prof. Eze came into class, he was followed behind by our class monitor and as usual, the dude was putting on an over-sized sleeve and huge tie, I couldn't help but laugh.

''please close both doors, nobody should be allowed to come into the class immediately this test commences, please put out your books and bags, including your mobile phone, take out a sheet of paper'' Prof Eze asserted as he stood in front of the lecture hall.

''Mehn, This test go bloody o how far, I hope say the test book dey with you. Put am under the table'' I heard someone say from the back sit.
I looked back to observe who it was, only for me to see one ''big bros'' like that, with beards all over his face. He sure wasn't in 300 level, I later found out that he was a graduate but let's leave that for another episode.

''wetin you dey look?'' he asked me.

''no no.. Bros nothing o'' I stuttered. ''I think say, I been know you''.

''from where?'' he looked at inquisitively.

''Nooo.. I no mean..'' I tried to explain. Thankfully I was rescued by Prof. Eze who emphasized on need for the class to be quiet.

''you guys should keep quiet. Please can someone close the doors... Where the class monitor.. Where's that slow poison?''

the Class rep stood from his sit and went towards the door to close it, as he was about to close the door, Mayson came running into the hall with sweat dripping all over his body.

''You are late for the test can you leave this premises right now'' Prof. Eze barked at Mayson.
''sir please, I can explain, something came up
sir'' Mayson tried to explain to Prof. Eze.

''see the time.. Can you see the time you are coming into my class. That's a sign of unseriousness, which I wouldn't condone''

''sir please'' Mayson begged.

''please leave before I tear my shirt... You know what that means'' Prof Eze debunked angrily.

''owain, abeg na'' Mayson kept pleading.

''please close the door''.

Mayson unfortunately missed the test, but at least he was safe and fine. Angel copied my work, word for word, I just hoped, Prof. Eze doesn't read our test scripts.

Well, after the test, I went over to see Mayson, who was waiting patiently outside for me to finish the test. He explained his whole ordeal to me on how he escaped and went into hiding.
''you don hear from Thompson and Smart?'' I asked

''NOoo. I just hope say them dey okay'' Mayson said.

''sojo go too drill those men o... Chai all becaus of ordinary weed'' I emphasised. ''Thank God say no be them catch o. I for don die since''.

I dialed Juliets number several times, because she happened to book an appointment with me but it wasn't reachable, so I went home.
