Story: Campus Life. Girls. Ghetto. Garri. Glory - Season 1 - Episode 2

A story written by Kingsley (08165723785, chikerelance@ gmail.com)

Bang! Bang! A knock at the door.
‘Fried Chicken. No. Yes. Roasted Thighs of a turkey’
Bang! Bang! Bang! Intense knocking at the door continues.
I was instantly woken up from my trance.
Oh no. Not that dream of me eating in luxury again. Whoever was behind the door temporaryly became my enemy for waking me up from eating the best ‘Dreams can offer’. I quickly turned to the sleeping Emma besides me. Glad i didnt eat his head this time.
Bang! Bang! Bang.
‘Na who me that?’ I yawned,standing up from the bed as i stretched my hands in reckless abandon.
‘Na me’
‘You no get name?’
‘Open this door jare before hunger kill me for here’.
Only one person could knock at my door so early in the morning.
I guessed right as i opened the door to meet my neighbour, Theophilus.
‘Guy abeg una get chinkini garri for here wey person fit take hold belle?’ Theophilus ignorantly asked immediately he stepped into the room.
Theophilus was my neighbour. Handsome, Full of life and fun to be with. He was always referred to as a brainbox. While you’re busy thinking and straining your brain in level 1, Theo as i fondly call him is already in level 200.
‘You dey craze abi? Or one nut for your head loose this morning?’ I sarcastically him.
‘You don start abi? Na hunger go kill una’ He said,pointing to me and the sleeping Emma.
I was begining to wonder if what he said behind the door some minutes ago was actually true.
‘Simple question wey i ask you,you come begin dey insult me,common garri you no get,make i go eat my fried rice and chicken for my room jare’ He Added as he made to leave.

Oh no no no. Not Fried rice and Chicken.
‘Ehn go chop am na,call me to wake you up from the dream when you’re done eating’ I replied as i began laughing hard.
He immediately turned to me,this time with seriousness written on his face.
‘Guy abeg,even if na small leftover bread,I go manage am abeg’
I looked at him with pity not wanting to burst out with a series of laughter.
‘To God!’ I said, doing the finger to to mouth to sky ritual. ‘No single permer of food dey this house at all’
He immediately collapsed on the floor, Oh no. Certainly he wasnt thinking i would rush to revive him. Did he?. I sat quietly watching him feign death, he must be stupid to think i’ll rush to him with a plate of ‘Fried rice and Chicken’.
When he noticed i wasnt forthcoming,he stood up,planting a gaze at me.
‘Guy you wicked o. Even bread,you no fit offer your man’ He said.
I laughed out loud. ‘If i even get the bread, E for don enter my belle since tey tey’.
Theo’s face brightened with glee.
‘Guy stand up dress make we go chop’
‘You get money?’ I countered.
‘Go dress shaperly shaperly,no dey dull my spirit’ He responded.

‘Theo Theo T’0 T’0′ I hailed him while i went to get dressed. Whatever he has in mind to do,he always achieves it or finds a way to twist and turn things around to his favor.
Turning my back away from Theo, I was suprised to see Emma already Up and dressed.
“Hunger no get enemy” I thought to myself as i hurriedly put on my trouser.
Oops,something dangling between my legs. Forgot to zip up my fly. You. Yes You reading. Hope you didnt see anything? Good child.
‘Wait for me!’ I yelled as i rushed to go meet Emma and Theo who were already quite some distance from me.
