LOVESTRUCK - A Campus Love Story. By Demsid by demsid(m): 3:45pm On Mar 20, 2018 |
Hello everyone, Its your boy demsid. Never wrote a story before but i've been a consistent and longtime ghostmember of the literature section here. I have read stories by prominent and respectable writers here, likes of larrysun, divepen1, shewrites, therock5555, safarigirl, inkpaper etc, i no fit remember all the names,but una dey try. Many of these writers inspired me. I'm a lazy reader. I'm usually reluctant to start novels with many pages but if i manage to start and i discovered its interesting, i may not do any other thing until i finish it. Right now I'm about to drop my first story here. It's about how i met a pretty damsel in sch and got lovestruck, hit by a love truck. I hope you all enjoy it. Pls pardon all my errors if there's any and correct me cos i want to learn through this first attempt. 6 Likes 1 Share |

EPISODE 1.- The Walk by. In the midst of the trees in the forest, countless varieties and species, the broad-leaved ones and the needle-like , shredded and the flourishing, embellished by natural landforms, creating a scintillating landscape. Can't find the words to describe the extraordinary beauty of nature. Amongst the various components that contributes to this fascinating scene, there is always that special creature which with its feature, crowns the premises. As it is in the plants and animal world so it is in the human society. That reminds me of this pretty damsel I met in my 100 level days. I was so carried away by her beauty when she walked pass me on my way to the exam hall. It was a day of my first semester exam in the university. Everyone walking hurriedly in different directions, some holding on to their writing materials, those are the ones assumed to be fully prepared for the exam, while another set of students holding sheets of paper or booklets which they stare into from time to time as they move towards their destinations, probably trying to fit into their brain the points they jotted down. Some others, which was the category I fall into , the 'JJC crew', looking all around and trying to spot names of halls for the hall they are to write the paper. We aren't familiar yet with all the different colleges and their halls. As the pidgin proverb says 'every malam with hin own kettle' meaning every individual with his/her own problem. I was just walking and busy thinking about how I'm going to excel in the day's paper which I knew within me I ain't prepared enough for but I have no fear because it's not my first time of writing an exam which I'm not prepared for and passing excellently even more than those that read all night. Not by miracle, by cheating, nor by settling examiners, It's just talent. I bragged in my silly mind. As I was moving steadily along the interlocked concrete pathways towards the university library, someone whispered from behind me with a feminine voice, 'Can you please excuse me?' In a polite manner. I tilted a little bit for the sexy figure to have her way and I said 'hi, good morning' she responded 'morning' and increased her steps. I tried to catchup with her but as a big boy I can't be running after girls like that I said to myself. I was surprised, how can a sexy girl like this be over serious, is it more than this exam? Maybe she's already late for her exam time, or am I the one not serious here, I said to myself. I walked gently behind her with my attention on her bouncing booty, the increase in her speed has enhanced the oscillatory motion of her round butt. There is reason for everything, if she had walked slowly by my side I might not have had the chance to get a full glance at her assets. This girl is really endowed and I appreciate the finished job of the lord in her. It's not as if she is the only pretty girl around, but her appearance on that very day was captivating. I took my mind off her issue, I concluded there is no way I can approach her on that day, maybe another day would be perfect. Suddenly she stopped wen she got to the library. The library is situated at the center of the campus, surrounded by different roads extending to the various parts of the school, something like a junction. The young girl, stood for a while and then brought out a piece of paper from her bag which I suspect to be the exam timetable. I walked up to her and asked, what the problem was, and she replied 'I am going to COLVET auditorium, where I'm supposed to write my CVE 101 paper, and I don't know which direction to go. I'm only familiar with jao hall and the multipurpose hall where we usually have lectures and also my departmental buildings' . I was just smiling and looking at her beautiful lips as they were syncing with the words she's uttering. I recalled myself immediately, oh u mean the COLVET hall, I know the place, I said. The college of veterinary med is standing separately, isolated from all other regular structures in the school. Most students don't ply that area. Fresh students of our category may not know the hall, except hostelittes and the 100 level COLVET students, even me, I have never seen the hall before but I know the college of vets. I uttered the affirmative statement out of reflex. I requested to view the time table with her which she never hesitated. I could read CVE 101, time as 2:00pm, and I asked her with curiosity why she was rushing as if she's already late for the paper. She replied 'it's because I don't know the hall and I don't want to be late '. And that was how we got buried in conversations as we approach the COLVET building. We talked about so many things, her name, her departments and most importantly we exchanged mobile numbers. We finally got to the COLVET building, the auditorium is erected behind the main building, it's concealed from afar. No wonder I'm unaware they have an auditorium. On getting to the auditorium, it looks neatly arranged, and empty, one doesn't need a soothsayer to tell that this hall has been prepared for an examination. Since the exam we will be writing is scheduled for 2pm and its just thirty minutes past eight in the morning, the entire surrounding is calm except for few students like me and my new friend standing outside the hall. I held her hand, and we walked towards a concrete seat made under a nearby tree to sit and relax. I have longed forgotten all my worries since I started chatting with this young girl. Lolardey as she pronounced her name, brought out her book and started revising. I was forced to do so too, I acted like a serious student as first impression matters most. We were reading different courses although we are from the same college of engineering but different departments. I'm writing Age101 while she's writing Cve101 on that very day , same time and same venue. As we were reading , whenever I notice she is tired and bored I cracked jokes in-between , which she laughed at and enjoyed. She laughed out loud and I told her I will start to call her lol instead of lolade, which she laughed at again. She told me she enjoyed my company and I was happy about it. Suddenly my phone started vibrating in my pocket, I knew it was a call but I don't want to pick it in her presence. Not just because I was using a Nokia 2100 which only has radio and touch light as its extra feature, but because I don't know who is calling. Lola is using a Nokia express-music which is the reigning phone then. But that's not actually my problem, but who could be calling. I thought; could this be Titi , my troublesome home girl friend or dupe my villa neighbor that we've been getting along recently. Make these girls no come spoil my package this morning o. I summoned courage and brought out the phone from my pocket, fortunately for me it was my homie, my real nigga "subtle" that was calling me. I picked the call with high spirit , hey nigga, how far now? He attacked me immediately, " guy, you no well! 3 Likes 1 Share |

He attacked me immediately, " guy, you no well! I've been trying your number for the past an hour now, have you forgotten we agreed on meeting at the motion ground to revise together for the exam. I don't even care if you come or not, just bring me my note that is with you please let me read, it's eleven already". I hurriedly packed my things , I knew I av fu.cked up bigtime. I told Lola I will be back later, i left her there for the motion ground to meet my friend who is also my coursemate. Me and my friend subtle reconciled and prepared together, and the exam went on very fine later in the day. We finished writing the paper at around 4pm. We were discussing about the just finished paper. I didn't even expect the questions could be that cheap, and not even much. It was the only handwritten exam we wrote in 100 level, others were CBT. The instruction given was to answer three out of four cheap questions. I nearly answered all before , it was when cross-checking that I cancelled one. I told my friend about the girl I met earlier in the day, I was like subtle, 'if u see this girl ehn, she fine die. No worry I will give u full gist later when we reach home. So, we kept on moving towards the bus park , we need to get there in time before the massive rush. My mind was already home, I was very hungry at that moment, and can't wait to get home to get something satisfying to eat. My friend alerted me, 'hey look, seems someone is waving at you'. I looked towards the direction and it was Lola waving from inside a moving cab. I waved back and gave her gesture demonstration a phone call with my fingers pointing at my ear and mouth. I told my friend that's the girl I'm talking about. I kept my eyes on the bus until it got out of my sight. That was how it all started. 6 Likes |

EPISODE 2- The Weak-end. Good morning everybody o, i gave a general greeting as i walk through the passage of our face-me-i-face-you lodge. On getting outside, i was surprised to see everybody was already there. i had to wipe my face with my palm and re-check the time from my phone, its already past eight in the morning. 'Oga you just dey wake up? God save you say today na Saturday, you for miss paper because i no go wake you' , uttered one of them in pidgin English. 'Shut up there, you this useless roommate', i replied him immediately. My hostel is a student rented apartment outside the school premises. It is a newly completed building with twelve rooms, six on each side parallel to one other. On that Saturday morning everyone were outside under the yellow morning sun carrying out different activities. Some boys were washing clothes, some fetching water from the well, some sitting on a bench playing board games like scrabble, ludo e.t.c, others just arguing and chatting doing nothing in particular. Oya S.O.D thank God you are here, we need your contribution on this. As most student hostels have names, we are delibrating on what to name our hostel, Ayo one of my housemates asked me. They call me s.o.d as nick. Emma my roommate talked; i don already tell them the perfect name for this place na 'Gay mansion' as na only boys the landlord and hin agent just dey collect. Another guy, Dare, said they should call it 'Far North' cos its far from the road, someone else said 'Wild Wild West' because of the bush around and so on. Pastor Tony as they use to call this guy because of his churchy lifestyl, suggests we name it 'Jesus our lord and savior Castle' or we let the landlord decide. I suggested we name it 'Uptown villa' as it is on a hilly ground and that sounds cool. This was the basis of their argument and they haven't arrived at a conclusion when i joined them. Let's just make sure we give it a nice name before this semester end so that we can inscribe it boldly on the building, I added. At least it will b easier to describe to a visitor. lolade came to my mind and i smiled. Let me even go and call this girl, i said to myself. I left the midst of the buzzling crowd to a serene place behind the building and pulled the call through. Hello, lolardey how are you doing, how was your night. Fine thank you she replied. And also thank you for yesterday, she added. 'Don't mention', i said to her meanwhile i was blushing and happy to hear it. We talked about the exams and all, how she is coping with the engineering college and the lecturers. I told her i have a question for her. Go ahead and ask, she replied. Did you remember the melting point of iron? Of course, it's about 1400 degrees celsius, she answered. Brilliant girl, do you know my heart is made of steel and your beautiful smile melts it faster than that? i said to her in a low voice. She was silent for some time, i guess she was blushing. I wish i could see her face at that moment. I asked her when we are going to see again. She said i would see her in school on monday i shouldn't worry. Take care of yourse' i couldn't finish my statement before my credit got exhausted. How many minutes talk, and 200 naira card is finished, i felt the network provider had cheated me. I checked the call timer and discovered I've talked for 11mins. This is how it feels when you are in an interesting conversation with a girl you love, time flies. I accepted my fate, not even flashing credit is left in my phone. As i was walking down, back to my room thinking about my sweet call coupled with my empty credit balance, i bumped into a bucket of water and the water in it poured on the floor of the passage. Which kind wahala be this now. The owner of the water is Dare as i can identify his bucket. If he finds out, no story, i must fetch his water except I'm ready for a fight. I don't feel like fetching water for anybody even though I'm at fault. Nobody saw me as no one was in the passage at that time. I thought of just leaving his bucket since no one saw me, but if he eventually finds out, it won't be funny at all. Wat if i drop his bucket in front of chinedu's room, so that the both of them will fight, i smirked as i envisaged the drama that will brew. Their fight will really be interesting to watch because the both of them already had each other in mind. They only needed a little misunderstanding to fuel them into physical brawl. Hmmmm, another plan came to my mind, since there is water in Pastor Tony's bucket too, let me just pour it in Dare's bucket. Pastor Tony would not fight, he will just go and fetch another water. As i was contemplating on the action to take, i decided to be good and avoid any trouble especially during the exam period so that my prayers would be answered. I picked the bucket to go and fetch Dare's water from the well and I took my bucket along also. As i was drawing the water from the shallow well with my hands, my phone which i held in my hand as my shorts has no pocket, slipped off. I tried to catch it but, Poom it dropped inside the well. Yeepa! Gbese re o. I felt like fainting, no other way to get in touch with lolade, and aside that this is my only phone. What am i going to do now, i thought... Could this be the end? I sat down helplessly by the well, confused and disturbed. This is really a bad day. What i have i done to deserve all these God. I decided to act responsible now, look at what I'm getting. Chaii, see my life. I squizzed my eyes maybe tears would drop but nothing came out. I thought about how much i will miss the phone. Sometimes when I'm bored, i do play snake game on it, in the night when its dark i usually use it to find my way around. I looked around at the tall grasses in our surroundings, and i thought of me walking beside these bush in the dark without a torch. I pray the snakes in these bushes dont play real life snake game with me this time around. God help me. I stood up from where i sat, to continue my fetching, accepting my fate. As i drew the filled bucket from the well, i was feeling tired and discouraged of the fetching but i kept on drawing with a pale mind. I collected the bucket from the end of the rope to transfer the water in my bucket. I wasn't paying attention to what i was doing. Suddenly my eyes went into the bucket and i found my phone laying under the transparent water in the bucket. What! I exclaimed with joy. I picked it up and thank God. My phone is back, but it came back dead and drowned. Soaked with water that you can even play water game on the screen. I dismantled it immediately and spread the parts to dry it up like its a rescue mission. What a hell of a day! Stay tuned for the next episode. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Episode 3 - Smile Again Its Monday morning, the atmosphere of the new week, everyone is getting ready for school. Most importantly, we are still having exams, which makes the seriousness level of every individual high. I've already taken my bath as early as 5am so all i have left to do is to just pick up my jotter for revisions before the exam of the day. I don't usually go to school with bag during exam period because it always feel like a burden to me. Sometimes if i and my roommate are moving together, then i will use his bag to keep my things. I was just going to check my phone components from where i was drying them for the last time. I've tried to get it dried cos my roommate assured me it will work if i dry it. I dried it in the sun on Saturday, and sunday, still it didn't come back to life. So i placed it close to someones stove to dry it for the last time very early on Monday morn. I was going to pick it up when someone drifted naked past me in the corridor. Its this crazy guy called mayowa. He's fond of going to the bathroom without towel, and leap fast to his room so its not a new thing. I just hope one day he will run into a female visitor, but not my visitor. I picked the phone, fixed the keypad and tightened the casing. I inserted my sim and placed the battery gently in it. I Held down the power button to see it display but to my surprise its not still on. This is nonsense, i yelled! I felt like slamming the piece of metal on the ground. Then i placed it in one of the front pocket of my jean trousers, the back pocket is for my wallet. I was dressed up in shirt and jean, i picked up my polished black paul smith shoes. I really need to be more conscious of my dressing now, because i already have a crush in school. I opened the wardrobe picked up my perfume and sprayed it lightly and off i went to school. I got to school at exactly 7:40 am, and the exam for the day is to be written at 8am. Its GNS 101,a general course, all 100 level students are writing it and its the second to the last paper for us that semester. The hall we were to write it has 1500 capacity and set for the exam with computer systems. Its an e-exam meaning computer based. I love e-exams, i believe it stands for easy exam since its just to click, select option, next and submit. No matter what, i would be able to identify the answer from the options, by either picking odd one out or check the option that relates mostly with the question. I was sitting outside the hall waiting for the exam to start. I was also looking around maybe i would set my eyes on lolade since i could not reach her through the phone. The exam began and we were writing in batches until it all ended at around 11am. I stood outside the hall under a particular tree, scanning all the female faces like Robocop searching for a terrorist, as the crowd oozes out the hall. Does it mean that she has left or i missed her, cos she must have written this paper in this hall, i said to myself. Some of my frds met me where i stood, and asked us to start going. S.o.d make we dey go now, or u still wan help invigilator pack bag maybe dem go dash you mark? Emmanuel joked. Me i don move o, So he left bouncing with his face towel in his hands and his bag in his back. Emma pls help me dey take this jotter go house, i go meet you for house soon, i requested. He obliged and then left. I sat under the tree on a concrete seat, soliloquising like could this be love? Why can't i even get this girl off my mind? If i did not see her today, what's the probability that i will see her tomorrow. Our exam is ending tomorrow, if she travels home immediately. I hit my face with my left palm, so i can think normally. I removed my phone from my pocket and pressed the power button maybe it will come up. It turned on. Wow! i was glad it did, i started searching for lolade's number, the next thing i heard was the double beep sound of low battery, then battery dead. But at least its now working, my heart was filled with joy. I was about standing up to go home as i felt all hope of seeing her is lost. I just felt this angelic hand patted my shoulder from behind. I turned to look at who it was. What! I couldn't believe my eyes, its lolade. I was just going home after the exams and i saw you sitting here alone. Hope everthing is fine. She said. I don't even know what to say. I stammered, no no nothing.. I was just relaxing, how have you been? I'm fine she said. She does not use to talk much, but her little words always last long in my memory. I was expecting your call, not even any call since we last talked on Saturday. I even tried your number it was switched off, she said. I couldnt tell her my predicaments, i just lied to her that i wasn't feeling too well. The headache made me switched off my phone. I thought, 'so she expected me to call again, she even tried to call me, does it mean that she's also feeling what I'm feeling'. Let me just let her know how i feel about her before its too late. So wat next, can we start going? Yeah yeah sure, i replied nodding my head. As she was about to turn, i held her hands and drew her back. She looked into my eyes and said 'what'. I said to her, 'you are beautiful'. She smiled, stop teasing me jor, she said. My heart started skipping as i am not too good at wooing girls. I couldn't find the inspiration to continuecontinue at this time. She dragged me playfully, and i staggered a little and we both held hands as we walked towards the bus park. We were gisting all along, and i later flanked my hands round her neck. The school is almost empty as we got to the park. We entered the same cab, but she dropped at the school gate where her hostel is situated. She came down and told me, 'make sure you call me when you reach home o'. I nodded affirmatively. Then i continued the journey home. 2 Likes |
