FAKE LIFE???
Episode 3??
⚠️DON’T COPY OR REPOST⚠️
The following morning we were woken by the sound of the clock which kept on sounding “ding dong”.
Immediately we all stood up from our bed, as we greeted each other and got prepared for school.
I was so anxious that I will be attending my first class.
I quickly hurried up to the bathroom as I brushed my teeth and I took a bath.
I make sure I wash all the parts of my body just to make sure I look nice on the first day.
I add a small amount of shampoo into my hair.
Work the lather gently down to my scalp, making sure all the strands of my hair are sudsy to their ends.
Then I thoroughly rinse it and apply the air conditioner.
Then I added bar soap to my sponge and cleaned my entire body, then I washed the soap off.
As soon as i get out of the bathroom,
It was just as if everyone was waiting for me to come out, as they all burst into laughter.
Ada was the first person to talk.
So, just only today you want to turn yourself to white man, she said
As everyone started laughing again.
I didn’t reply to any of them as I just walked past them.
Then I rubbed cream on my body and brought out my new dress.
As I was about to put on the white dress, I heard Ada’s voice from behind.
Wow, Deborah I love this dress, it looks nice and expensive.
Where do you get it?
My Dad bought the dress for me on his visit to Nigeria last month.
I asked him where he got it from and he said he got it from Germany.
I just don’t like wearing expensive clothes too much, some people might be criticizing me for flaunting my wealth I said.
Germany!
But this dress look exactly like the one my mother bought for me here in Nigeria.
She told me she bought it #5,000 but I couldn’t wear it, because it is too small.
So I gave it to my younger sister, said Tolulope.
This one is quite different
This dress is produced by Gucci and it is the latest dress made from ultra-luxurious Guccissima cotton.
I move closer to them as I show them the label on the dress.
It is handcrafted in Italy.
It is worn by most popular celebrities like Beyonce, Harry Styles, Rihana, Elle Fanning to mention a few.
Could you believe it if I tell you how much it is worth.
They all pay attention
As they are eager to hear what I am about to say.
It Worth #80,0000, not only that,
You see this White high heel is #50,000 it is the latest, beautiful and classy high heel in town.
It is made by M. Gemi’s Escato brand.
Let me show you something.
I dip my hand into my travelling bag.
Check this handbag, it is made by Chanel.
It is another French fashion brand that’s known for its high-quality handbags, mostly because of the materials they use to make them.
How I wish my parents could be as rich as yours.
Anyways, the next time your dad comes visiting, ensure he visits you here.
Because me, Ada, I will personally bill him.
Ha-ha-ha!…
Everybody burst into laughter again.
As we all walked out of the room and headed to our different lecture rooms.
I walked with Ada since she is my course mate and she already knew where we would receive lectures.
According to what she told me she said she has started receiving lectures for the past two weeks.
You might wonder why I am just resuming ?
It was because I was given late admission.
Let me just say I am the lucky type, because I have already lost hope, until when the supplementary list came out and I was among the lucky candidates picked.
Not quite long we entered the lecture room.
A lecturer came in.
His name is Mr Edward.
“ Mr Edward was a short, fat man with a big pot belly.
His hair was white and so was his suit”.
I guess he is in his early Fifties.
He is the lecturer teaching us GNS 101 ( Communication in English).
There was this guy who kept staring and smiling at me from the front seat.
He hardly concentrated on what the lecturer was teaching us.
Immediately he noticed that our eyes meet he lay on his back staring at the ceiling.
I didn’t give him a face, as i just paid attention to the lecturer.
The two girls beside me were making jokes about the lecturer.
One said ” His clothes did not fit him, for his tie was too long, and the trousers also were too big, it was as if someone dashed him.
Her laughter erupted, echoing down the corridor as he bent over, slapping her knee repeatedly.
The other girl said ” see how short he is with a massive potbelly like someone that has kwashiorkor.
The girl laughed till she lost control and roared, no longer caring about the people behind her.
The lecturer nearly caught them.
As she turned her face away and hoped the lecturer didn’t notice her, her shoulders were shaking as she laughed silently.
Hey you!
The lecturer point at me
I was carried away by those girls silly laugh, as I almost laughed with them.
Stand up he said.
I stood up and he asked of my name?
My name is Shebotimo Deborah I answered.
I haven’t see this face in my class before are you a new student he asked?
Yes I am, I replied.
Okay.
He threw a question at me and I gave the right answer.
Then he asked the whole class to clap for me.
Which they did.
I felt shy that day, because it was my first lecture.
Not long after the man ended the class and Ada came to me.
Hello Deborah.
Are you hungry?
We can order up a pizza or eat at the cafeteria…? She said,
It was just as if you read my mind.
Am very hungry, I said.
We both walked out of the lecture room as we headed to the nearby Cafeteria.
