Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 25

She looked inquisitively at him, considering the
fact that neither he nor any other lecturer has
called her for anything before. She decided to
answer his call, not that she had many options.

Mr Wale’s office was small, just like most of the
offices at this end of the department. Unlike other
offices however, it was devoid of the usual charts
on the microbial world. Instead it was plain, the
walls of course and his work was neatly piled on
the table. Cassie noticed all this, not that it
concerned her anyway.
“Sit.” He said, pointing to a chair. She sat down
cautiously.
“Cassie, what happened? This results are not like
the Cassie I know.” He said.
Fear suddenly gripped her, forcing her face to
manifest its presence. The last thing she needed
was to hear that she failed an exam. How come it
was marked that quick anyway? She asked
herself.
“Of course, you did not fail, but it was far from
your usual performance. I could have just taken it
as one of those things, but coupled with your
appearance of recent and your countenance, I
can tell that something is wrong, that one of the
reasons I called you. So what’s wrong, Cassie?”
She paused for a second before lying that she lost
a relative so as to change the direction of the
convo, citing that she was okay.
“Ok. I can understand, but please try and share
your troubles with people, friends. Don’t face
issues alone.”
“The second reason I called you is personal and I
don’t know how you will take it.” He continued,
looking straight at her eyes.
“I love you, Cassie.” He said quietly.

Cassie looked at him with utmost curiosity. So he
wants to date her? In school? This man no serious
oh! She said to herself.
“Well, I am not going to ask us to date now,
especially as you are still a student. I would have
loved to wait til you have graduated, but you are
a young and beautiful girl and am sure guys have
tried their luck on you.”
“The point is that I know that girls like you don’t
stay that long as a spinster, except you don’t
want to marry early and I doubt so, therefore I
felt I should say my heart out before its too late.”

He concluded.

Cassie continued to look at him, wondering what
could dissuade him from chasing her. She did not
want to get her schooling complicated because
she refused to date a lecturer, and at the same
time she was not interested in him.
“Erm sir, I don’t know how to put it, but I have
not thought of it. Can I be given some time to
think about it, sir?”
“No problem, Cassie.” Mr Wale said, standing up.
“I won’t victimize you if you refuse my offer, be
assured of that. You are my favorite student and
that does not change. But please sort your issues
so that they don’t affect your performance in
exams next time, okay?”
“Yes sir.” She said, leaving the room.
Cassie walked quickly away from his office,
wondering about what just happened. She could
see his seriousness, his confidence and calm.

Considering his offer further, she also thought of
the stability he offers, unlike someone like
Adedayo who could be prince whatever soon or
some other guys who just want S£x and are not
serious. She was still surprised that she was a
virgin, despite the fact that she dated a guy,
especially in this generation of S£x while dating.

He is not bad facially, and while he was an older
choice, it did not look repulsing to her, not now
anyway.

She sighed and decided to wait until she tells her
roomies in her hostel. Their opinion will count
here.

As she got down to BOOC, she saw people
gathering round the newsboard, the crowd sort of
attracted her and she walked towards the board,
anxious to know what was on the board. On
getting there she saw an interesting caption:
OAU STUDENT ARRESTED AND JAILED FOR DRUG
TRAFFICKING.
With the intriguing piece of news in front of her,
she started to digest it and got a surprise when
she saw the convicted student in the picture.

It was Linda.
