When he touched me I felt different. I wanted him in every possible way. I didn't feel this way usually. I guess I'm high right now. I guess I want to start feeling this way. I let him touch me again. On my upper arm.

"Let me see you off to your door", he asked again. We just got back from the party and it was 04:30. Even Elizabeth had gone in with Julie, probably sleeping by now. They left me at the party since I insisted on staying with Andre.
  "Stop insisting now, plus my room is just there. You're the one who should be going home already.", I replied him with what I saw as seriousness in my tone hoping he would fall for it and go.
    "It's not a bother since I'm sleeping at Felix's today"
   "Fine, let's go"
"Stop acting like a champ cause you have some finesse Mancho following you. Plus you should slow down, I can't keep up with your pace". I just looked back and smiled, while I also reduced my steps as we got closer to my room.
   "We're here now", I finally spoke, pointing at my door.
   "I know and uhhh... Thanks ?", it sounded more like a question than a statement and even the look on his face wasn't helping matters.
     "I-is that a question, plus shouldn't I be the one thanking you for saving me from those perverts ?"
    "It's nothing anyway", he replied. This time, we were both in front of my door facing each other. I'm fair, so I have every right to say I was as red as a tomato with the way he was staring at me.
   We both stared blankly at each other till we heard a beep from his phone. Talking about phones, he was using an iPhone X, which seemed pretty cool. Not like I was in anyway impressed because, I myself was using an iPhone Xmax.

Not to toot my own horn but ..tooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!

   Staring at the screen of the phone, I laughed when I saw the label of the alarm, Call Bae Nana,with a scared 😟 face emoji. He didn't say anything, not even laugh along with me. He just kept staring till I told him I needed to sleep since I was having a 09:00am class that same morning. He forcefully drew me into a hug, kissed my forehead, and said goodnight. Without waiting for a reply, he walked upstairs.  Upstairs to call "Bae Nana".
 
                     *******************

I sat down as I began to reminisce on all that had happened at the party with Andre, my new found friend.

           "Sit down na", he offered me a sofa in one of the rooms we had entered. Since the venue of the party was in a hostel, we had rooms we could chill in. For VIP's only anyway. We kept talking about all and noting at the same time, not till a bunch of guys and like four girls including Elizabeth came into the room. I quickly signaled for her to come sit beside me, but she just looked at me with raised eyebrows and sat beside Bello. Ignoring her, I stared at the last guy who came in with shisha pot in his hand and locked the door. I adjusted myself as Andre looked at me and laughed. I was already feeling funny and Andre has explained to me that it was the shot we took on getting to the party. As everybody in the room talked to each other in a noisy manner, I just got into Andre's open arm as he folded it around me. No doubt I looked scared. As I was still trying to maintain the silence between Andre and I, one of the guys around hit the table to get everyone's attention.  "Let's play truth or dare people", he said without even asking for permission. He continued by saying the rules of the game. How we couldn't pick more than one truth, how there was nothing like claiming one was with a girl or guy, how if one person couldn't do what he/she was asked they would have to pay a sum of a thousand naira. He kept on talking and talking. When he finished, everybody sat up and was ready when I voiced out.
    "I'm not interested", and without waiting for any criticism, I walked out of the room. As I got outside, I noticed the door shut again and Andre was behind me.
    "So, I'm guessing this is the first party you're ever attending", as he tried balancing on the stairs where I stood.
    "Obviously oh, and it sucks a whole lot", I sulked. He just drew me into a hug as he patted me and told me I would be fine.

   "So you with the pink top would you like to explain why the Boers and the Khosians were at war the first time ?"

    Who is this one that wants to destroy my fantasy naaaaa.

As I tried to continue reminiscing, I felt someone tap me.

   Fuck, I was in class. 

That was when I realized that the lecturer had called me to answer a question.

  Fuck you Mr Jonas Okpai, fuck you !!!

"All of you would go to your boyfriends house and have sex till morning", he started. "You'll na come to class that your parents are paying for and..."
Without allowing him to say anymore word cause the mumbling and murmuring in the class was beginning to irritate me, I raised my voice higher than I ever have and I started...
"T-the first war was due to the fact that the Boers has come to take over their cattle grazing land, and the khosians were angry". As at now, the class was as quiet as a graveyard and everyone was looking back staring at me. "The war lord Doman and few of his followers attacked the Boers and that was in a short form, how the first war began". Everyone in the class began clapping which was quite intense for me as I hated attention. I was in my second year and I still didn't have any friends talk more of clique in the department.
"Thank you for not disgracing me young miss", the lecturer replied with a smile on his face.
  " Now , I won't be teaching you all today anyways as I want you to go and do more research on the Boer-Khoisan wars and the peace treaties. I would collect the assignment tomorrow as I want you all to submit it to my email. Bye class", he said as he packed his laptop, closed the projector and walked out of class.
The lecture room became rowdy as everyone got up, greeting each other and walking out of the class. I brought out my phone and texted Elizabeth that I was going home already, since her own class wouldn't end till 4.
   Putting my phone back into my purse, I walked out of the class thinking of how I would have to branch a restaurant to eat since my roommate wasn't going to be  home yet.
