EPISODE 1 S ometimes I just wonder why I was created this way. why I can't seem to be comfortable when I'm in the midst of people, especially ladies. I had been this way ever since I was a kid. I'm already on my early twenties but my issue is not getting better. It had even worsened. I can't believe that at this stage of my life, I still don't know how to approach ladies. I had come in contact with a number of nice ladies that I love and would love to spend the rest of my life with, but due to my shy nature, I could not approach them and had lost them all. I still can't believe that I'm still a virgin at this stage of my life. Not that I'm a saint or something. I had always wanted to take this virginity of a thing off me, but don't know how to go about it. I had never dated any lady all my life. I dare not tell my friends that I'm still a virgin, because they would all laugh at me. I always brag about how I made a lady beg me to get her laid whenever I'm with them, but in reality, no such thing had happened. I always believed I could cope with my shy and introverted nature, but not until I gained admission into the university. it was when I gained admission into the university that I realized there is place for people like me in the university. it's either I blend in and associate with people or be forever isolated. it's been three weeks since I gained admission into the university. We had already completed the registration process and lectures had also started. The way I always see students in my department discussing and associating with one another, made me wondered if they had known one another already, before they gained admission. I wished I could be like them and interact more with my coursemate, but my introverted nature wouldn't allow me. I always try my best not to be noticed in class. I dare not raise my hand to answer any question asked by a lecturer, even though I knew the answer. One day in class, just immediately we settled down for lectures, our introduction to statistics lecturer, Dr. Mike walked into the class to introduce his course. After 5minutes of speaking, he asked a question which no one could answer. He was very disappointed and decided not to speak further until someone answer his question. I knew the answer to Dr. Mike question but dare not stand up to answer his question. Just imagining the number of eyes that would be boring holes on my body when I stand to answer the question could make my mind go blank. Dr. Mike stared at us from the podium while we stared back at him, with no one making attempt to answer his question. After the long silence in the class, he decided to speak. "so out of over a hundred students in this class, no one can answer the question I asked" he said Everyone in class remained silent. "this class can't continue until someone answer my question. How am I suppose to teach you if you don't know the basic of this course" he said The class still remained silent. He stared silently at us. After a while if silence, an idea crossed his mind. "I know what to do" he said walking closer to us. "I will start pointing you to answer the question and once you fail to give me the right answer, you will leave this class and never attend any of my classes for the rest of this semester." he said in serious tone. A faint murmur could be heard in the class "we you all keep shut" he shouted in angry tone. The look on his face showed that he was very serious with what he said. I wished someone could just answer his question and take me out of the tensed situation i was in. The class had suddenly became too hot for me to stay. I prayed silently that God should divert the lecturer's attention away from anything that would make him notice me in class. Not that I didn't know the answer, but I just couldn't face the whole class. I could see the lecturer staring at everyone faces, looking for who to point. he stared at my direction and a shiver went down my spine. I suddenly started sweating profusely. "Hey, you over there" he said pointing at my direction. Even though he was pointing at my direction, I was so sure he was not pointing directly to me. because there is no how he could have pin-point me out of over a hundred students in class. so I looked back to confirm who he was pointing at. the person he was pointing at must be behind me. "why are you looking back? I'm referring to you" he said referring to me "is it me sir?" I asked to be sure he was referring to me. "no, it's me" he mimicked me "come on stand up and answer my question" he barked. I suddenly became weak when I realized he was actually referring to me. how was I suppose to stand and answer question in a class of over hundred students. Just as I slowly stood up, I could see over a hundred eyes boring holes on my body. I tried not to turn my head, because my mind could go blank if my eyes meet with any lady in class. I cursed the devil silently who had succeeded in putting me in such situation. "will you answer my question or get out of this class" Dr. Mike barked when I didn't say anything after a while of standing "erm.........erm.........."

EPISODE 2 J ust as I slowly stood up, I could see over a hundred eyes boring holes on my body. I tried not to turn my head, because my mind could go blank if my eyes meet with any lady in class. I cursed the devil silently who had succeeded in putting me in such situation. "will you answer my question or get out of this class" Dr. Mike barked when I didn't say anything after a while of standing "erm.........erm.........." I stammered "actually.......... I..........I" That was the last words I could remember saying. I knew I was still speaking, but could not remember what I was saying, because my mind was far from what I was saying. All my attention was focused on the eyes in class boring holes on my body, especially the ladies. I kept wondering what might be on their minds as they stared at me. could they be thinking bad of me. could they be saying I'm not smart enough to be in this class. All these and other thought occupied my mind. It was when I heard a big round of applause from the class that I realized I had answered the question. I focused my attention back on the lecturer standing in my front. He observed me for a while before speaking. "so you knew the answer all this while and you didn't answer" he said I kept mute "why did you wait until I point you before you answered the question?" he asked I remained mute "Anyway, I will pardon you this time, because I like the way you answered the question. you gave a detailed explanation just the way I want it. what's your name?" he asked "Christian" I answered sharply. "okay Christian. Once you know the answer to a question, don't wait until you are called before you answer the question. is that clear?" I nodded in affirmation "good" he said "you can have your seat now" I sat down immediately and let out a hot breath which I didn't know I was holding all this while. Dr. Mike walked back to the podium and continued with the lecture. All other questions he asked were answered by other students without delay. The class went on smoothly and he joked from time to time which made us laughed out loud. I later found Dr. Mike to be an interesting lecturer. After lectures for that day, I quickly rushed to the school restuarant to have lunch before I collapse. it's as if the few words I said in class had drained all my energy. I didn't even allow my food to be placed on my table before I started devouring it. After a while of eating, I heard someone screaming my name from behind. my heart missed a beat when I realized it was the voice of a lady. I slowly turned to see a lady standing at the entrance with smiles on her face. she must be my coursemate for her to know my name. she must have heard it when I mentioned it to Dr. Mike. she started walking towards me. my heartbeat kept increasing in geometric progression with every step she took. she got to me and sat opposite me. "hi Christian" she said smiling I couldn't say anything. I couldn't even stare at her. I just kept staring at my food on the table. " hello" she stressed the word when I didn't respond. I waved at her and said "hi" in a whisper. I was sure she didn't hear that, because it was not audible enough for her to hear. She observed me for a while. "Christian are you okay?" she asked "yes" i responded sharply "okay, i just want to thank you for answering Dr. Mike's question in class today. you are our saviour. who knows how many students he would have sent out of his class if not for you. I'm very sure I would have been among those that would be sent out because I had no idea of the answer. you did really well. by the way, I'm Joy." she said I didn't respond. I just kept staring into air. "are you sure you are okay?" she asked "I........ I.......... I want to go home. I feel dizzy" I said She quickly stood up from her seat and sat closer to me. she placed her hand on my forehead. "Are you sick?" she asked Her closeness made me more uncomfortable. "I'm not sick. I'm just tired. I need to rest." I answered. "okay you can start leaving. make sure you take care of yourself" she said feeling concerned. I stood up immediately and was about heading for the door. "wait" she said walking towards me "let me have your number so that I can call to check on you" I didn't like the idea of giving her my number. what am I suppose to say to her when she calls. she stretched her phone to me and I collected it. I typed my number and gave her back her phone. " okay I will call you" she said "I hope you are coming to school tomorrow?" she asked I nodded in affirmation "okay see you then" I waved at her and left the restuarant immediately. visit storyrim.com for more stories 18 Likes |

EPISODE 3 I got home and freshened up. I lay on my bed and stare blankly at the ceiling. The event of the day flashed through my mind and my mood suddenly changed. I felt bad that I couldn't answer a question confidently in class. Even when joy approached me nicely, I couldn't even say a word to her. Why am I always like this? will I ever be confident enough to speak with a lady without feeling nervous? when will I stop behaving this way? Am I the only one in this world with this kind of personality? what did I do wrong to be born with this kind of trait? Am I cursed or something? It seems like i'm the only one in the world with this trait. I have never come across any shy guy all my life. where did I get this kind of trait from? I was lost in thought. The vibration of my phone brought me back to reality. I stretched my hand to my table to get my phone. I stared into the screen and saw that it was an unknown number. My heart missed a beat when I realized I gave Joy my number. I sat up immediately still staring at my phone. I quickly rehearsed a few words I would say to her when I pick the call. I took a deep breath and placed my hand close to the green button. While I was still contemplating on whether to pick the call, it suddenly stopped ringing. it started ringing almost immediately. My phone suddenly became too heavy for me to hold. I needed to pick the call. I won't allow my personality to drive away someone who seems to care about me. I summoned all the courage in me to pick the call. I placed the phone on my ear and said "hi" in the nicest way I could. "Guy you didn't try at all. you have forgotten about me. you can't even call me" the voice at the other end said. it wasn't actually a lady's voice. it was a guy's voice. I felt relieved when I heard the voice. "please who am I speaking with?" I asked "so you don't recognize my voice?" The voice rang a well. I knew I have heard that voice before. I thought for a while. "Daniel" I called "yes it's Daniel. I thought you won't recognize my voice." he said "wow! so it's you Daniel. long time" I said happily "yeah, long time" he responded "How are you?" I asked "I'm fine and you" "I'm fine too" I responded "so how is school?" he asked "school is fine" "I hope those girls in school are not giving you problem" "not at all" I responded "is this your number" "yes this is my new number. I said I should call you, since you don't want to call me" "Daniel you know that's not true. if I had your number, I would have called you" I said "okay o, I just said I should hear from you" "you did very well. I'm very grateful. I will save your number." "okay then, we will talk later." Daniel said "okay, thanks for the call" I ended the call and stared at my phone screen with smiles on my face. it was good to hear from Daniel. Daniel is my childhood friend and a very good adviser. I placed my phone on the table and lay on my bed. Just immediately I placed the phone on the table, it started vibrating again. I took the phone from the table and picked the call without looking at the caller. "hello Daniel" I said into the phone "Christian" the caller called I froze when I heard a lady's voice. I slowly removed the phone from my ear and stared into the screen. The number was different from Daniel's number. I slowly placed the phone back on my ear. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. "hello" I said calmly "Christian how are you? This is Joy" "Joy. how....... how are you?" I stammered "Christian you don't sound too well. should I come over to your place?" "No, no" I cut in immediately "I'm not at home" "where did you go to?" she asked "I'm in the hospital" "hospital!" she exclaimed "is it that serious?" What did I just say? I couldn't believe I just told her I was in the hospital. I quickly took back those words "no Joy, I mean I went to get some drugs from a pharmacy." "okay, how is your body" she asked "I'm fine now. I will call you back. I'm on a busy road right now" I said "okay" she responded I ended the call and took a deep breath. I lay on my bed and didn't know when I slept off. visit storyrim.com for more stories 13 Likes 1 Share |
