Chapter Twenty Seven:The Fifth And The Last Child {Cont’d}

Nina
slept in the hostel that night and her roommates were making noises as usual
and she tried to sleep until she slept finally. Due to the noise they were
making she slept late and woke up late so she couldn
t bathe outside then
decided to have it in the bathroom

Fat kc: sleeping sickness!
Ebere: Amandie!
Nina: morning.
Fat kc: what happened? You
woke up late.
Nina: you guys didnt let me sleep last night
with your noise
Ebere: uh sorry, thats just how we do.
Nina 🙁 getting up to have
her bath) whaterver! I need to bathe ASAP.
Fat kc: do you have
lectures this morning?
Nina: by 11am.
Fat kc: okay.
Goes to
the bathroom since she woke up late, she passed the ones that someone was in
and went to the next one. A girl was in the one she passed Agnes is her
name,she
s in Ninas department and the same
level but Nina didn
t check who was in. Agnes
was singing a song by The corrs in the bathroom, the soundtrack “runaway” and
Nina loves that song a lot so she was backing up for Agnes as she was singing
Nina 🙁 not seeing who was
singing) who is singing my song?
Agnes: I also love the song
as well.
Nina: yeah, the Corrs are
really great
Agnes: yeah I have their
album.
Nina: really? You have a disc
man?
Agnes: we play it in our
room some times.
Nina: okay, so who Im I talking to?
Agnes: you dont know whom you are talking
to?
Nina: no, I dont.
Agnes; but you just passed
where I
m bathing.
Nina: yeah but I didnt look.
Agnes: my name is Agnes; Im in your department.
Nina: okay, I’m Aman…
Agnes: I know who you are
but you don
t know me.
Nina: I dont really know people in my
department that well. I must have seen you but I wouldn
t know your name.
Agnes: it happens.
Nina: so can you come out
of the bathroom when you are through so I can see your face.
Agnes: okay.
Nina: whats your room number by the
way?
Agnes :(tiptoeing to her
room) I have two rooms.
Nina: how is that possible?
Hello?
Nina wasnt getting any reply and
noticed that she
s gone. She wanted to know
more of her because she felt a connection, she felt like she
d seen someone that share
the same music sense with her and they could possibly have more things in
common. She went to her room and started dressing up for lectures
Fat kc: how come you were
in that bathroom for so long?
Nina: I met someone and we
started talking or singing?
Fat kc: a guy (laughing)?
Nina: yeah, very funny! Shes from my department.
Ebere: whats her name?
Nina: Agnes.
Ebere: how awkward is that?
You met in the bathroom.
Nina: yeah right? Maybe
that
s why she acted the way she
did.
Fat kc: how did she act?
Nina:(dressing up)I wanted
to know who she was but before I could finish she ran away.
Fat kc: maybe she didnt want you to know who she
was.
Nina: but she knows who I
am.
Ebere: maybe shes okay with that.
Nina: well, I’m not.
Ebere: okay?!
Nina: anyhow, Im off to lectures.
Both: bye.
Nina: bye.
