Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

The next minute we were in

front of the whole class ready to

embark on the adventure as

contained within the novel.

”Alright, you two will read in

successions while I give

explanations wherever

necessary,” the teacher adviced.

The novel began with a scene

where Alozie(represented by me)

, who came visiting from the city,

was driving his Volkswagon

Beetle along a village path when

his eyes caught a very beautiful

feminine figure walking alone

along the road and so he

decided to do a little wooing.

translated into English

Alozie(me): ”hello, excuse me

beautiful lady”

Ugonma(her): ”yes, how may I

help you sir?”

Alozie(me): ”please, are you from

this village? I asked because your

beauty is beyond imagination.”

*The whole class erupted into

great laughter*

The teacher then made efforts to

calm the class before signaling us

to continue.

Ugonma(her): ”hmmm, I hear o.

Thank you sir. Now can I

continue my journey?”

Alozie(me): ”sure, but not until

you tell me your name and

whose daughter you are.

Omalicha…Achala-ugo…Akwa

nwa.”

*the class once again erupted

into shouts of ‘eeeeehhh, hmmm,

ok na etc’ as I dished out the

sweet names to ugonma as

contained in the novel*

We kept reading the novel in

succession just like the teacher

had directed. I must say I was

swept away with the ease this

girl read the book. She fluently, in

an expert style, read the novel

while always adhering to the

pitch, gesture and mood

representations of the novel. The

manner with which we

performed held the class spell-

bound and always looking

forward to another Igbo class. All

these while I began developing

affection and interest for this

damsel but I never approached

her since I was yet to gather

much information on her history

in the school and to know if

she’s already affiliated (lol) to

someone.

”Spain, how far? Hope you have

seen your wife today?” Mike

asked jokingly as we were

walking down home after school

one sunny thursday afternoon.

”Wife? Which wife are you

talking about?” I asked him back

with a confused look. ”Stop

pretending jor. Am talking about

the newly admitted fine girl you

always read that novel with,”

Mike explained. My ears quickly

tingled on hearing the phrase

‘newly admitted’ as I immediately

could no longer bottle-up my

feelings. ”Mike, did you just said

she’s a new student? My bro, to

tell you the truth, I like the girl o

but I just don’t know whether

she already belonged to

someone. I don’t even know her

name yet,” I replied while we

waited to board a bus home. ”I

think she and ugochi normally

walks home together. Don’t

worry I will ask ugochi early in

the morning tomorrow about

her. Just get prepared to tell her

you love her tomorrow after

school,” Mike concluded just as

the last passenger took her sit

next to ours in the bus. Ugochi

happened to be Mike’s flirt-girl

then. She’s rated among the

hottest girls in the school. She’s

this slim, fair, neat, jovial, pretty

girl with lovely straight legs.

My mind automatically became

restless on hearing the great

challenge awaiting me tomorrow

for that would be my first time of

going to woo a girl although I

had always lied to Kachi and Mike

about it whenever they asked. I

never really was myself

throughout the rest of thursday

evening as I kept on strategizing

and restrategizing on how am

going to face this girl who

seemed experienced in this

game judging by her company of

friends which were the crême de

la crême girls of the school.
