[Episode 9] My Days in Trixwin By Kelvin Ossai
(Villarreal
taking the lead over Barca. I'm super happy. #teamRonaldo)
Favour:
Dude, it's getting late. I have to be on my way now.
Me:
Ok.
I
stood up, switched off the electronic set and the generator. And we were
already strolling to the main road where she would board a bike.
*********************************
Favour:
I actually enjoyed my time here. You are a nice person with nice guys around
you.
Me:
I hope it's not my friend you're referring to as a nice guy.
Favour:
It's him na. What is his name self.
Me:
(Maintaining a serious face) his name is Okoro but you can call him James for
Christ's sake.
Favour:
(Looking at my face) stop that face. I know you are not serious.
Me:
(Laugh) abeg forget that guy. He forgot to take his drug in the morning.
Favour:
I hope I will always meet him when he didn't take his drug.
Me:
(Laughing) maybe. We do beg him to take it.
*********************************************
She
joined me in what seemed like a laughing competition.
We
were already at the main road. I stopped a bike man, the guy said he will carry
her to her hostel for N150. I could have argued it to N100 but I have enough
money since I didn't spend much. I still have 1k after buying fuel N400 and
food N600 for her. I could have given her the remaining 1k without the fear of
my pocket because I have already budgeted it but I didn't want her to feel like
I was trying to entice her with money so I gave the girl N200 and they left.
I
didn't bother going home. I just went straight to film hall to check if there
was any Spanish match. (You know La Liga always have a night match).
Unfortunately it was clubs that don't worth watching. I went home straight.
Cooked
and ate my normal eba (eba is my best food, you can laugh, no problem)
I
brought out my Power and Instrumentation textbook and started reading.
Just
then I remembered I haven't heard from Favour. If I don't call her, I know I
won't concentrate so I dailed her number. She picked on the second ring.
************************************************
Favour:
Wait let me call you back.
Me:
why?
Favour:
(She ended the call and called back) I was supposed to tell you I've gotten
home but I met a fight in the hostel.
Me:
really?
Favour:
Yeah. People are wicked sha.
Me:
What happened?
Favour:
Na all these guys na. How can you borrow shirt from somebody and slim fit it?
Me:
(I laughed so hard. Till today, I'm yet to believe it actually happened. I
think she was just trying to be funny because I saw it on Facebook days later)
you see why I hate Chelsea people?
Favour:
The borrower was actually a Man U fan.
Me:
Wayo. It's a lie. No correct Man U fan will be staying in Chelsea hostel.
Favour:
Ok. Later you come and ask him for his Football ID card na.
Me:
You sabi talk sha.
Favour:
I talk reach you?
Me:
Na you know na.
Favour:
When are you coming to my place?
Me:
After our outing next Sunday.
Favour:
Where are you even taking me to?
Me:
it should be a surprise na.
Favour:
No, tell me. I'm anxious already.
Me:
Ok, Trixwin hotel. (it is actually the biggest hotel in Ogwashi-Uku. Not an advert please. People are paid to do
advert but nobody paid me so forget it.)
Favour:
Wow. Cool: I will be waiting.
Me: Alright
(I pray make I win bet9ja on Saturday oh)
Favour:
Ok na, my card don finish, good night.
Me:
Ok, bye.
************
She
ended the call and I transferred N150 to her account. She called and I refused
to answer the call. I was playing West life as I continued reading. I don't
like reading in absolute quietness. And I always play music while reading if I
want to understand what I'm reading.
About
11pm, I was through with my book and I dashed into Facebook playing Sinach at
the same time. I was still in Facebook when I slept off.
Tomorrow
is school.
I
will meet James in school.
Guess
what I will do to him.
Goodnight
friends.
