September 11, 2018
Nina went to check on Chizoba but she wasn’t around so she decided to
go to her room. After a while she went to have her evening bath and wore her
night gown wondering if she should just go to Dennis’s lodge and see what was
keeping him busy that he didn’t care that they haven’t seen for days. It was
7pm, her roommates were conversing as usual and she couldn’t stop thinking about what Dennis
might be doing. She didn’t even care that she was
leaving in her night gown and robe,she just started leaving like that…

Sometimes
we do crazy things in the name of love, although where their school was,was in
a village that people might not really notice but it was really an
inappropriate dressing. What if something had happen to her, she’ll say she’s checking if
her boyfriend is playing games? That’s if she would be alive to testify.

The next
day Nina went to school and received lectures as usual, after lectures she went
to the hostel to see Ernestina and then went to her room. Ernestina’s roommates are very
friendly, even friendlier than Ernestina herself. They cook together, discuss
together and even work out together since Ernestina is so particular about her

you come and stay.

Nina: alright, thanks.
Nina was
wondering if Ernestina’s roommates were too nice
or Ernestina wasn’t being a friend to her.
She has been noticing that Ernestina wasn’t really comfortable with her and she kept wondering why. She has been
trying to be her friend since she is dating Dennis’s best friend, she felt
they could be like good friends and have something in common. What she didn’t know was why Ernestina
was behaving the way she was behaving was because Chize(Tony’s cousin) was her very good
friend and Chize has a crush on Dennis. Although Nina was suspecting that
something must have happened for Ernestina to answer the way she answered
Dennis when he asked her to meet his wife. It seems like Dennis didn’t tell them he had a
girlfriend because they were all surprise to see Nina. So if Ernestina was being
friends to Nina, Chize might not like it because of her feeling for Dennis…
