THE COLD OF THE BASEMENT - CHAPTER FOURTEEN
FEMI
By: Oluwasola Abiola Elisha - ABSOL
Still surprised at the turn out of events of the day, I got accustomed to my new phone as Anthony after welcoming me refused to utter any further words to me. I was a bit confused on what was wrong with him but then, Anthony can be crazy sometimes so I decided to take the moment as one of those moments when his madness is knocking his head, although I was expecting his enthusiasm as regards me securing a new phone, but I ended up meeting something different but because mom already thought us never to expect too much from people so as not to be disappointed, I have learnt my lessons.
In prep for test the following day, I decided to drop the phone to pick my book and revise things already read before I went to take tutorials with my classmates the last time. Just then, Juliet’s call came in. It was an unexpected call but I picked it and we really spoke at length, she told me about the sudden change in Tobi’s behaviour towards her which I was expecting, just that I was busy praying Tobi will not open up to her.
The test was not as bad, I did my best to my best of knowledge and left the rest for God to take care of. A lot of my classmates especially females came to appreciate me for what the short tutorials I took them the week before, and I felt really elated.
Despite all the appreciations, I kept checking my phone every minutes, waiting for Juliet’s call which refused to come through. I got back to the hostel and I did not meet any of my roommates, not even the jobless Temilolu that hardly attend classes.
I called her and she was not picking and my mind started racing marathon. What if Anthony has gone to tell her of my real intention of extracting as much as I want from her then dump her? What if Tobi already opened up to her? I was lost in the midst of this thoughts and instantly the hunger that accompanied me into the room disappeared and I was feeling uneasy because I still wanted more from Juliet. I thought of what I could do but nothing was coming to my mind.
