JIDE: EPISODE 47

I’m not afraid of Tola. It was just situation… I entered the first passenger’s seat as Nolly reversed from the compound. We were headed to my hostel… We got to my hostel, I got down, and I saw Tola straight up. Mad fear first catch me, but I now reset… He stretched his hand towards me, I stretched mine also…We shook hands as he looked towards Nolly and said sorry. Was it because of Nolly he’s saying sorry?
Nolly: Instead of acting wise… you were acting like a bully….
Tola: No… Jide was responsible… I’m not a bully… and I can’t even stand Jide on a normal day…. It was just anger…

Nolly was just looking at the both of us, the small English that was coming out of our pidgin she understood, the rest were going to deaf ears… I went into my room, there was no one… not even Seun…. I was a little surprised, but then I remembered exam… everybody’s already finding his level…
I packed some my stuffs into the hand luggage I brought from Nigeria….
As I got out, I met Tola talking with Nolly…..
**What could they’ve been saying, I taught in my mind**
I carried my luggage with great joy and pride…. There’s nothing better than that at that moment…
