SKIRT OF IMMORALITY
Chapter 4
That was how my strolling was cut short because I felt lazy to go out again and so I just decided to rest.
I woke up around pass 7pm but couldn’t see any of the girls on their beds except for the other girl that accepted my greetings when I first entered the room.
“Oh you are awake!” she exclaimed
“Yes. Where are the others?”
“They went for a friend’s night party”
“Wow! Why didn’t you go with them?”
She smiled
“Well, I don’t do parties. It is not my kind of thing”
This must be the kind of friend I should stay with (I thought within me)
“I’m Jessica, a student of Mass Communication year one”
“I’m Gina, student of Banking and Finance”
“It’s nice to have you around”
“Same here baby girl”
“I cooked white rice and vegetable. Do you care for some?”
“I wouldn’t mind please. Thank you very much”
And so Jessica went to the kitchen to fetch the food for me while I kept pondering on whether I should really eat it or not.
I had brought my own food stuffs but hadn’t arranged them yet. She brought the food and then we ate together. We talked about our families, the school, our JAMB situations and then our room mates.
Finally, it was 10pm and then I felt to just sleep. While sleeping, I had a dream that I was in a three storey building. I was facing the window of the second floor when all of a sudden, I heard a loud noise as that of war coming from afar off.
The day was sunny and then something told me to look at my watch. I checked my watch and saw that it was 2pm but the time wasn’t moving. It was as if the time stopped and so the sun stood still.
I became scared because there was war in the country and the sun wasn’t going down. My dream was cut short when I head the sound of the door creaking.
I opened my eyes and saw my party room mates coming in and was kinda shocked to see both I and Jessica sleeping.
They quietly undressed and went to bed.
I closed my eyes and then I dreamt again. This time around, I saw the guy that splashed water on me with his car the other time.
He was just standing and was staring at me while smiling. I felt confused because he wasn’t saying anything and his handsomeness just kept radiating under the sun. I felt shy and I couldn’t say a word but something kept whispering to my ears.
“Run… Run… Run”
