SOLOMON'S STORY:




'Hahaha! Hahaha! Oh my God, I can't stop laughing. How stupid of you to have believed tha...'

'It's enough, Bello. You've had a good laugh already. Well, you can laugh at me all you want. Forgive me for thinking Lizzy loved me for who I am, not minding how unattractive I may look.' I retorted angrily.

'Fool! Love you for who you are? You think life is Telemundo?' Bello bursted out laughing again, prompting an earnest desire to share my story with the world of UDUS. The story of a one-sided crush that got crushed.😪 Thus:

"In my UG II, I resumed school very early - which was very unusual of me. I started going to night classes like a serious student, you know that sugar rush that accompanies a new session and the 'I must boost my GP' resolve after a poor first year that never lasts? That was Solomon's character for the first two weeks of his second year which he unfortunately gave up, when he went half-way in one of those bulky Chemistry handouts.😒

I started regretting why I resumed early. My friends at home made jokes and mocked me for resuming early. My foodstuffs for the school year were almost finished. Abdul my friend who lives close to my family's house, warned me umpteen times to never think of asking him to bring some along when he finally resumes, and boy was he serious, cause he would later resume empty-handed.
I was lonely😞, stranded😟, hungry😖 and physically downtroddened.😪
Just before I thought my end had come, I didn't know it had just begun.

On a peaceful Saturday morning just after a warm bath, I made out to school from the hostel with my roommate's laptop. I arrived Agric theatre to find scanty students tapping the screen of their phones with so much focus cum exhilaration... 'Ah ha, wireless!'🤩 I said to myself as I pulled out the laptop from my bag to explore the internet. More like download the Universe 😁.

Just before I started downloading the 7th episode of the 5th season of GOT (Game of Thrones), a voice came from beside me,

'Excuse me, sorry, I can't seem to connect with my phone, I think the network is bad.' She cried out.

'So?' I retorted.

'I was hoping you'd help me out with your laptop.' She continued.

'Well, you can see I'm bus...'
All the while I had foolishly been busy on the laptop to not have noticed that the lass asking for a favour was several miles beyond a beauty queen. If her beauty were to be qualified, it'd be Celine Dionne's voice in a QueenBey's rendition of 'Heal the World'.😍😍

I immediately erased my intended reply, cause 'Wetin we gain' if we turn down fine geh😂 and said,

'Sure! Come on, you can use the laptop.'

I made sure to collect her contact in the process and almost immediately started calling her. We became friends!

'My guy, don't waste your time with that girl o, she's out of your league.' My roommate warned as I showed him her picture on facebook. I ignored him and continued chatting with her.

I and Lizzy had become very close and constantly met in front of I-Block every night. We would chat, I'd make jokes and she'd laugh like a loosed cannon.💘

On most days, we'd stay very late until baba blue (security folks) start shinning their touch light as a cue to say 'Oya na, dey go.' Most times, we'd change position as they came all the way giggling to our adventures.😋

We continued this way, and I thought to myself, 'Maybe it's time to tell her.' And that was what I was going to do before...
'Hello, Solomon, please can you come outside? I'm in front of Abu's shop (SUG shop).'
I sprang out like a hungry bear and the sight that beheld me was sickly.😑

'Hey Solomon, meet my boyfriend - Emmanuel. He is a 400 level medical student. I've told him a lot about you.'
The way I felt that day is how you feel when an unattractive girl bounces you in public.
I became mute immediately, I wanted to smile, but I couldn't. It took me 5minutes before I noticed he held out his hands to shake me. I didn't know what happened after that, it was like I was in a coma for 5 hours. I went back to my room and the first thing I did was to delete her number, untag myself from all her posts on facebook and then blocked her from my account.🤨

This big guy, this, this, this medical twaddle blew my chances. His arrival heralded the end of my chances with this girl.😥

'She never mentioned him to me in any of our conversation. I'm a fool to have thought she was single. She flirted with me shamlessly. OMG!' I kept saying this in my mind, not knowing I was actually saying it out loud.😣

'Who never mentioned what?' Bello - my roommate asked as he sipped his coffee. More like nescafe.

'Nobody!' I lied.

'But I heard you...wait! Is it that your dream girl? OMG!...' he mocked.

'How stupid of you to have believed that she'd ever fall for you.' He continued ranting for minutes before I angrily left the room.😭😭"
