EPISODE 1

JANE'S STORY:

"In 2017, I gained admission to study Education Biology in the most peaceful University in Nigeria: Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto (UDUS). Even though I had originally applied for Medical Laboratory, I was still glad to have at least gotten admission in a Biology related field. So I quickly went for the acceptance process.

A week after I saw the list, we were called for every necessary registration. I met a very long queue and had to join it even though my stomach grumbled for missing breakfast. While in the line, I caught the sight of this cupcake. Tall, muscular, the perfect beard, and a body that screamed "Six packs". I didn't need anyone to tell me he was a frequent visitor to the gym. He caught me staring and I took my eyes away immediately. How can my first impression on guys pass as desperate?

That was before he winked at me, and displayed a smile that melted my heart. God! Hold yourself, girl. I warned. I have never perspired like I did when I saw him walking toward me. The way he walked, with such flair, one step at a time like he himself knew he was a sight to behold. And there I was perspiring, and almost boring a hole on his broad chest cause I kept staring. Shame!🙈

"Hello. My name is John. I'm a 400l student of Medicine" he said as he extended his palm for a handshake revealing his muscled bare arm. I took it, and felt its manliness. I almost screamed.

"Hi. I am Jane" was all I could mutter.

"So I escorted my Sister here for her registration, and willingly abandoned her when I saw you. I'm sorry if this looks too forward, but can I get your number? I'm kinda in a haste you know. Business calls and all"

He didn't need to ask twice before I heard my lips spell out the number. He was a 400l student of Medicine, that means, in less than two years, he was going to be a Doctor, plus he was a business man. Cut me some slack.🙈

He called that night and many nights after. We took to WhatsApp, had long mushy convos. Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to Months. And we arrived at the big "I love you" exchange. He said it first, the night before my 1st test in Danfodio, and there has never been a more successful test ever since.🤩🤩

I was priding in him. He who came all the away from UDUTH to simply walk me to the hostel. Why shouldn't I?

I've always been a brainy person. In my SS3, I came out with the best results in the SSCE. So it didn't take long before I was discovered and began conducting tutorials here and there for coursemates and carry-over students alike.

In one of my sessions on an education course, I think SED 101 for some students, I caught John seated at the back. I was shocked. He didn't give me a call. Neither did he tell me the night before while we chatted, where I told him I loved him too, he was goan pay me a visit. But I had a mission there, so I carried on. After the class, I walked up to him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, baby. It's a surprise. Let's go out" he replied, calming my nerves and removing every suspicion my friends put in me that John was a mere playboy.

So we went to the Minimart. Ate at Students Choice and spent hours together chit-chatting. There was never a boring time with John. The way things were, if he took to one knee and proposed, I would say yes and locklips with him for several minutes.😍

The terror: Exam came, and I had to limit our time together. I explained to him. He understood. Such a sweet boy.

The exam for SED 101 arrived. I think the venue was NLH. We were to write the exam with other science units of education ranging from Edu Math to Edu Chem. You can only imagine the multitude we made, yet the supervisors insisted on calling us one by one for detailed scrutiny. It was tiring.🙄🙄

When I heard John's full name under the list for Edu Chem, I was schocked. It gave me the chills when I saw his flair movement into the hall. The once flair that made me lose my calm, now launched me into confusion. What is a 400l student of Medicine doing in an exam on a 1st year Education course?🤔

It was the most terrible exam ever. I couldn't concentrate at all. Many questions were in my head, and missing links that needed filling and I lacked the knowledge. As soon as I concluded the shitty exam, I tried to catch up with John who had submitted earlier. But he was nowhere to be found. I think he saw me and was too ashamed to face me. "Maybe he was writing for a friend" I concluded.🤔

I would later find out that he lied to me. He was in fact a fellow 100l student of Education Chemistry. And had three other girls in Education on his long list of girlfriends. My first heartbreak. Till this moment, John has not contacted me. No sorry. No nothing. I've learnt my lesson.😭😭".
