CAMPUS DILEMMA SEASON 1 EPISODE 30

Episode 30

The rest of the week rolled by uneventful. I had
already gotten my project topic and was working on
my abstract and also drafting my table of contents.
On Friday of the following week, I was coming from
my supervisor’s office when Oge called me. We got
talking and after a while, she told me that a friend
of hers was celebrating her birthday which is going
to be an all-night stuff and she will like for us to go
together if I don’t have any plans for the night. I
asked if her boyfriend isn’t going to be pissed with
her for going to an all-night party with an ex. But
she said that her boyfriend wouldn’t know and even
if he finds out that it’s on her head and not mine
and the highest thing the boy will do is to walk out
of their relationship. I told her that I will call her
since I didn’t know how the evening was going to
be.

After my call with Oge, I called Precious to know
when she will be coming back. She told me she
doesn’t know yet owing to the fact that it’s second
semester courses that she has issues with.

In the evening, I called Oge to know the time for
the party. She said it will start by 8pm till dawn but
we will go by 9pm. She was so happy when I told
her that I will go with her. After I called Oge, I
called my cab man to notify him that I will be
needing his service.

By 9:30pm we were on our way to the party with
Oge looking so hot. She was on a very short red
fitted gown with a six inch wedge sandal. She
caught me a few times checking her out and will
always smile.

We got to the party almost around 10pm. The party
was on already when we got there. We met the
celebrant and after introductions I led her to an
empty space where we settled down while the party
continued. I ordered for a bottle of Magic Moment
and a pack of yoghurt from a waiter. Since I wasn’t
invited directly, I didn’t want to wait for the
celebrant or whoever that was in charge to serve our
drink.

The party progressed till around 1 a.m. when I saw
someone walking towards us from the entrance. I
was surprised seeing her because it never crossed
my mind that she might be in the party. I nudged
Oge who was already tipsy and laughing to every
joke the MC was cracking.
“You didn’t tell me Cindy will be here”

“You didn’t ask me if Cindy was going to be here.
Moreover where is she?” she replied looking
around.
I nodded towards the approaching figure. Cindy on
her own was dressed to slaughter.

“Is there a problem? Are you guys dating?” Oge
asked unperturbed.
“No….. but……” I started to say something before
she hushed me.
“Then there is no problem”
Her last statement coincided with Cindy getting to
our table.

“Hey I have been asking around for you” Cindy said
hugging Oge who was already standing for a hug.
“I also asked after you, but Vera (the celebrant) said
she hasn’t seen you”

“Yea I came a bit late” she said sitting beside me
without saying a word to me. I also pretended like
she wasn’t around as I sipped from my cup looking
up to the stage.

“You guys don’t wanna say a word to each other or
do I need to introduce the both of you? Ok Purity
this is Cindy, my former roommate the one you
came to look for last semester and Cindy this is
Purity, my very good friend. He once came to look
for you in our former room when you already
packed out. That said, I will pretend like the both of
you don’t exist until you start talking to each other”
Oge said turning to face the stage.

“Don’t mind him, he knows that I’m pissed with
him. I didn’t know he could be very mean and
heartless” Cindy said looking away.

“Hmmm!! mean and heartless? I agree with you on
that” Oge said laughing.

“And this is a case of pot calling kettle black right”
I said looking at Cindy.

“It’s just that I don’t know why I can’t stay mad at
you, if not, I made up my mind not to talk to you
ever again” Cindy said.

“Ok, Ok, whatever transpired between you guys
should be left for another day. You guys shouldn’t
spoil this party for me” Oge said bringing the Cindy
and I issue to an end.
