Chapter Thirty Two :The Fifth And The Last Child
November 1, 2018
Nina’s friends; onome and Zino weren’t going to the party
meanwhile Nina didn’t know that Agnes travelled
so it was just Adaobi and Sally and “the three wise women”; Chidera, Adaeze and Norah
like Mac Anthony from Nina’s department would call
them went together as usual… Mac Antony calls them that
because they are three of course,they are ladies and they go everywhere
together except exam hall.Adaeze abandons them during exam and sits with the
boys because they don’t read and aren’t that smart. They (Chidera
and Norah) didn’t see it as a big deal at
first because they weren’t seeing Adaeze’s results… Meanhwile they
were flunking.

Nina
couldn’t call Dennis because of
her phone problem so she left for her picnic. She returned Maureen’s phone back to her since
people weren’t really calling her except
guys that want to ask her out. The only people she was interested in them
calling her was her sister and her dad but since she can flash them with
chidera’s phone and they’ll call back immediately,
she felt she can get a phone when she goes back home for break…

Her departmental
people hired a bus; most of them were in it while their friends from other
department took another bus. Ral (from biochemistry) was accompanying her
friend from the department to the party and of course Chux came along with her.
Before they got to the route to crossover, Nina started asking people if they
are going to cross the lake. They finally got there and like she predicted,
they were crossing the lake but the good part of it was with a speed boat not a
canoe…

They got outside
the hotel finally because they didn’t book hotel reservations since it’s just a picnic. The DJ coupled his
gadgets and started playing music and they had soft drinks while some people
came prepared and wore their shorts and headed straight to the lake. Nina came
with just her shorts incase she was going near the lake…

They ran

saw her bunkmate there already with her friend Oge.Oge’s room is opposite Nina’s room,she’s dating Tochukwu in the
same Department and level,she doesn’t really have swag like her friend Nneka but she’s prettier than her.
Although she looks like she has swag but she doesn’t.

After
some time Chux, Vivian and his girlfriend joined them at the lake. Since they
hired a cameraman, he took pictures of them in the water and they posed for the
ones they wanted him to print. Nina snapped with chux, Vivian, Ral, oge,
Adaobi, Nneka, they were all girls in the picture except Chux, Chux and Nina
snapped a personal picture. At first it was boring but later it was fun for
Nina and her friends, Chidera, Adaeze, Norah and most people didn’t enter the lake.
