EPISODE 5


A ll eyes in class turned
to my direction
immediately they heard
my score. I felt
embarrassed at the number of
eyes staring at me. All of a
sudden, a crowd had formed
round us. My test script kept
going from one hand to the
other. The number of
questions that I was asked got
me frustrated. I only tried to
force a smile to conceal my
frustration. I was relieved
when a lecturer walked into
the class. Everyone went back
to their different seat. The
lecturer went straight to the
business of the day without
preamble. He was quite a strict
lecturer. His class was not
interactive at all. He asked no
question and didn't entertain
any question. I seemed to like
his method of teaching
because it would save me the
stress of answering question
in class.

I sneaked out of the class just
few minutes to the end of the
lecture to avoid any question
from my coursemates. I left the
faculty building and was about
going home. I heard someone
screaming my name just when
I was about going out from the
school gate. I turned to see my
coursemate, Mustack running
towards me. Mustack was the
same guy I walked into the
class with today. He was
gasping for air when he got to
me.

"guy how far" I said to him

"guy you be flash?" he asked
"it hasn't been up to a minute
I saw you leaving the class and
you are already at the school
gate. why didn't you wait until
lecture was over before leaving
the class?" he asked

"the lecturer was already
rounding up when I left" I
answered

"so where are you heading?"
he asked

"home" I answered

"you are going home. have you
forgotten today is Friday?" he
asked

His question made me
confused. I never remembered
planning to do anything with
him on Friday.

"what's happening on Friday?"
I asked

"are you asking me like you
don't know" he said.
"don't you know that we are
supposed to be out there
having fun on a Friday"

This guy didn't know the kind
of person I am, because if he
knew, he wouldn't be taking
about going out to have fun.

"there is this particular bar
very close to school, it's
always lively on Fridays. Let's
go there so that I can buy you
a drink"

On a normal day, I would have
declined his offer, because I
don't like being in such places.
I'm never comfortable being in
such places, but this might be
my opportunity of making
friends with him. I have
always been a loner since I
gained admission into the
university. so I would not
reject his offer.

"Are you sure that the place
will be lively just like you
said?" i asked trying to show
interest in his offer

"you just have to see the place.
it is always flocked with
ladies" he replied

My heart missed a beat at the
mention of ladies but I tried to
look calm.

"Wow! that would be great
then" I said masking my
nervousness with a smile

"then let's start going there
already" he said smiling also

"alright bro" I responded

We headed straight to the bar
and just like he said, the place
was very lively. the number of
ladies I saw when we walked
in increased my heartbeat. we
located an empty seat at the
front and sat down. Mustack
beckoned the barman and he
approached us immediately.

"what will you like to have?"
the barman asked Mustack

"give me Goldberg" Mustack
answered

"what will you like to drink?"
Mustack asked me

"anything" I answered

He looked at me in disgust

"is anything a name of drink?"
he asked

"why are you behaving like a
shy lady who went on a date
for the first time with her
crush" he said to me.

His words hit a vital part in
my body. He just referred to
me as a shy lady. Even when I
tried as much as possible not
to show my nervousness, he
still noticed it.

I could only force a smile.

"okay give me Goldberg" I
answered.

The barman left immediately
to get our drinks while
Mustack and I engaged in a
conversation.

After few minutes, I saw
Mustack looking at a particular
direction. I followed the
direction he was looking at to
realize he was actually looking
at a particular lady at the far-
right.

"that lady is very beautiful" he
said to me

"yeah" I responded
uninterested

"I won't forgive myself if I
don't get her number" he said

"do you know her?" I asked

"must I know her to get her
number" he answered

Mustack stood up and was
walking towards the lady

"where are you going?" I asked

"to get her number of course"
he answered

I watched as Mustack
approached the lady and sat
beside her. just after few
minutes of taking to her, I
could see the lady laughing out
loud. what could he have said
to her that was making her
laugh? I suddenly wished I was
like Mustack, but no, I'm
Christian, the shy guy. When
will I ever make a lady laugh
just the way Mustack did to
that lady?

All of a sudden, Mustack and
the lady stood up and was
walking towards me. I could
hear my heart pounding in my
chest as I wondered what they
might be coming for.

EPISODE 4

I woke up very late the
next day. I quickly took
my bath and got prepared
for school. I left home
immediately without having
breakfast. I was supposed to
have lecture by 8:am but it
was already 8:15am. I got to
the building the lecture was
holding and peeped through
the window. The lecture was
already going on and the
lecturer could be seen at the
podium impacting knowledge
on the students with
enthusiasm. Every student
focused there attention on the
lecturer standing close to the
door, and that was exactly the
same place I was supposed to
walk in through. I was sure
everyone would focus there
attention on me when I walk
in, because there's no how I
would walk into that class
without being noticed. I stood
at the window for close to
10minutes trying to come up
with an idea of how I would
walk into the class without
being noticed. I felt a hand on
my shoulder, and I turned to
see my coursemate standing
beside me. I was relieved it
was a guy.

"are you not going in?" he
asked

"I was about going in" I
answered
"are you just coming?" I asked

"yes" he answered

"let's go in before we miss the
important part of the lecture."
he said

"okay" I responded

He walked ahead while I
followed behind him. I tried as
much as possible to hide
behind him as we walked into
the class. I never removed my
gaze from the floor until I sat
down at the back seat. I took a
deep breath and silently
thanked the guy who showed
up when i needed him. I'm not
sure I would have been able to
walk into the class alone. I
would have stayed outside
until the end of the lecture.

The lecturer continued with
the lecture. After few minutes
of listening, I was able to
understand what was being
taught. I was quite good in
maths, and the course that was
being taught was actually
'introduction to mathematics
for economist'. Did I
mentioned earlier that I'm an
economics student.


when the class was over, the
lecturer handed a brown
envelope to our course rep,
which I believed contained our
test script we did in the
previous class. To make matter
worse for me, our course rep
happened to be a lady. I had
never approached her to get
any information from her.
Even when I needed an
important information which I
believed only her could
provide, I still didn't approach
her. Her beauty alone is
intimidating. she distributed
the script back to the students.
just as the scripts went round,
I could hear murmur from
every corner of the class
which means the scores were
very bad. She had already
shared all the scripts but I still
didn't get mine. I wanted to
bring to her notice that I had
not received my script but
didn't know how to approach
her. I only sat on my seat
staring at everyone faces as
they stared at their script with
a frown.

My course rep started walking
towards me, immediately she
was done distributing the
script. I tried not to feel
nervous, because she might
not actually be coming to meet
me. she got to me and sat next
to me. I was very nervous but
tried not to show it.

"Christian how did you do it?"
she asked immediately.

"do what" I asked confused.

she brought out a script and
showed to me.

"while everyone was scoring
less than 10, you scored 23.
How did you do it" she asked

I looked at the script in her
hand and realized it was
actually my script and I scored
23 just like she said. but I still
didn't know why she did not
give me my script when she
was sharing it and had to
bring it to me personally.

"you are really brilliant" she
continued when I didn't
respond

"Anyway, I just want to tell
you that you just officially
made yourself my private
tutor. you will be tutoring me
starting from next week."

My eyes widened in shock
when she said that. Me that
cannot even talk to a lady for a
minute will now sit down for
close to an hour to tutor her.
she better rethink was she just
said. what kind of difficult
position did she want to put
me in. I better look for a way
to decline.

"so how will it be comfortable
for you? will I be coming to
your place for the tutorial, or
you will be coming to my
place?" she asked.

None of the options seem
comfortable for me, I wanted
to say that but dare not say it.

"anyhow you want it" I
answered against my decision.

"Okay, we will be using both
my place and yours for the
tutorial. That would be fairer
right?" she asked

"yes" I answered

Just when I was still dealing
with the lady beside me, Joy
came and joined us. she sat at
my other side, making it two
ladies sitting beside me. I
haven't been myself sitting
beside my course rep, and Joy
had also joined us, making my
blood pressure to rise.

"hi Sharon" Joy greeted our
course rep

"hi Joy" Sharon replied

"Christian how is your body
now?" Joy asked me

"fine" I answered briefly

She saw my script with Sharon
and collected it. she stared at it

"23!" she exclaimed
"Christian you scored 23"

All eyes in class turned to our
direction immediately they
heard my score. I felt
embarrassed at the number of
eyes staring at me.
