Adaobi is
Agnes friend; she is the original roommate in Ernestina’s room. Agnes just comes to
see her since she was her bestfriend, she is in the same room with Adaeze but
she doesn’t like staying there
because most of them in the room were seniors.it was only she (Agnes) and Adaeze
(chidera’s friend) that were in the
same level so she felt more comfortable in Adaobi’s room because they were all in year one. She sleeps
there most of the time; it’s just her bags she keeps
in her own room. Adaobi is the first and only daughter in her family; she’s in
microbiology as well and is based in a local government area close to the
school since she’s from the state.

to register early or else there’ll be no room left.
Nina: yeah, I figured. That’s what I’ll do next year.
Ernestina
woke up and started preparing as usual to go to Tony’s house. She doesn’t treat Nina like a friend,
she felt maybe she hated her or maybe she doesn’t like the idea of Nina dating Dennis but then why
would she care that Dennis was dating her, does she like Dennis or what? That
was what was going through her mind and she decided not to force her to be her
friend since it was looking that way. Besides she’s making new friends now and don’t really need the ones that
don’t appreciate her. Since she
didn’t have anything in common,
she and Chize weren’t really friends, it’s just that she was one of
the first people she met in the main campus aside her pre-science friends. So
they say hi to each other whenever they meet, Chize on the other hand, because
she liked Dennis she didn’t want to get close to Nina
so it won’t be difficult to do what
she wants to do with Dennis.

Nina is a
very nice and good person but can get jealous with who she loves when it seem
like someone is trying to take them away from her no matter who the person
is;father,mother ,brother,sister,boyfriend, and girlfriends….
