[Episode 6] My Days in Trixwin By Kelvin Ossai
Me: Where have you been na?
Favour: I've been around na.
Me: Your number refused to connect. I almost ran mad self.
Favour: (Chuckles) I'm sorry. My phone got spoilt. I got a new one recently.
Me: Anyway, let everything go behind. We are together now.
Favour: Alright. I'm sorry for how I spoke to you the other day. I didn't know it was you.
Me: It's nothing. where do you stay?
Favour: Chelsea hostel
Me: (For my mind: problem. I hate chelsea eh) hmmm, ok.
Favour: What about you?
Me: I stay in the heartbeat of Ogwashi uku na.
Favour: Where is that?
Me: Agidiese quarters. (Actually, Agidiese was the best place a student can stay in Ogwashi uku. Nearness to bank, short distance to market, Bus can't disappoint you because no bus gets filled up before getting there from garage. Nearness to Police station should you want to arrest anybody, lol. We also record less crimes there. Na we even get California bar. We get film hall. Anish primary school where Ogwashi December league takes place, na we get am. Na we get town hall too where most of the school tribal programmes do hold).
Favour: Which hostel?
Me: I don't stay in a hostel. I don't like hostels. (I have my own reasons).
Favour: You get wahala sha.
Me: Yes na, I know say you like wahala(Baby Pana)
Favour: (Laughs) the day is gone already, I would have come visiting.
Me: We still have many tomorrows coming.
Favour: You sabi talk sha.
Me: Yes na.
Favour: Alright na. Hope you are not angry with me.
Me: Who get mind to be angry with you?
Favour: You funny sha.
Me: I hear. Alright na, we will talk later.
Favour: Ok, bye, take care.
Me: Thanks.(ends call)
That was how everything started. The next day I was with my two friends in auditorium. I told them everything and all they could do was laugh at me.
James(birthday boy): Come watin dey do you na?

Me: (To henry) thunder fire you. Conductor like you. See as he be.
James: Na you know o. I advice you make you forget that girl.
Me: Make una leave me jhor. Make we talk another thing.
We were mute for about 80seconds, something we hardly do and all of a sudden me and Henry burst into a serious laugh right inside the school's auditorium that side opposite to New Hall 1).
James: Wetin happen na?
Henry: (Pointing to a girl down) see that girl.
Me: her friend(a guy) was removing something from her hair and her fine weavon pulled along with the guy's ring.
James: (Laughing) see the girl hair be like dada.
*****************************
It was already Thursday. I have been talking well with Favour but have avoided trying to see her in school for reasons I don't even know. As an engineering student in DSPG (though I don't know if it happens in other department) you go to school 7am and come back after 5pm. Reason why girls are not in my plan. So I had no time to invite her and moreover I couldn't boast of enough cash then as I am a kind of student who don't use money meant for school activities for something not academic.
I play bet9ja with my feeding money and use my wins for non-academic activity if need be. 0k If I fail to win and exhaust my feeding money, I will go on empty belly but I can't fail to win.
Episode 7 rolling, stay calm.
