<TYLER ADEOYE>

It was my first night sleeping in a school hostel. I have never slept in a school hostel before because I didn't like just anybody invading my personal space. I always and forever was a day student throughout my 6years in secondary school. Now that I want to branch out, leave my mother's nest, and study in school, in a state that was nowhere close to home, I am kinda freaking out. First off, it was a four-person room with a two-bunk bed, meaning four beds; each of these beds had its pillows attached to it and a designated cupboard for each bed.

That was what was there originally and according to the rules and regulations of this hall, King Yale hall. Fortunately and unfortunately I currently have to sleep in my room, room D205 where three additional people who aren't my roommate are making noise instead of sleeping. God, they have all been talking and gisting loudly making it hard for me to sleep. My bunk was down by the left-hand side and I was dressed in my pajamas and lay down on the bed.

I was told by my bunk mate that those additional three guys were here to stay, I didn't want to believe him so I just laughed it off, now the reality of what he said was slowly setting in, making me regret why I didn't believe him. I sighed looking at them from the other side of the room, I can't believe this, they seemed to be having a good time gisting when they were supposed to be sleeping or at most reading for the classes, they have tomorrow.

I guess I was the only studious person worried about getting enough sleep, so I can be out of bed as early as possible tomorrow. "Psss Tyler, are you okay?" my bunkmate whose name I later found out was Dayo asked me, I groaned and rolled my eyes before responding. "No, can't these people keep their mouths shut? It's wayyy passed curfew and I need to get my beauty sleep." Dayo bursted into laughter and I looked at him with confusion itching on my face.

When he saw the confusion on my face, he sorbered up before clearing his throat to speak "okay first of all, beauty sleep, bro are you gay? And second, no guy in this hall follows that stupid curfew they wrote in the hall's brochure. Besides these guys are quarter to finalists and well, they didn't get hostels so they are squatting with us till they graduate." Dayo finished explaining and I groaned in pure agony, three bonafide roommates invading my privacy, I could adopt and manage. But to afford another three more?... Nooo!!!! I screamed mentally.

"Harsh right? tsk, I'm sorry, man. Don't worry, on the bright side you'll get used to it, sooner or later. Anyway, I am off to bed." Dayo said as he climbed to get to his top bunk. I sighed feeling frustrated I can't believe come tomorrow I will be spending the night here having six roommates instead of three, I sighed and coughed loudly to get their attention. They turned to look at me, I gave them a sheepish smile, thank goodness I got their attention now I can air my complaint. "Guys I don't mean to be rude but... I am trying to get some sleep here so if you could please tone it down."

"Tch! abegi shift" The fair one with freckles on both sides of his cheeks said and I groaned inwardly. I noticed he was one of the quater to finalist Dayo was talking about; I didn't want to cause any trouble with them so I just kept to myself. They paid no attention to me as the three finalists sat in a circle on  a giant foldable bed. They were eating suya and garri as they laughed loud amongst themselves probably  as a result of an inside joke. I sighed closing my eyes and trying my possible best to sleep amidst the noise they were making.

"Omo you need to treat this babe fuck up oo!! Wetin sef" I couldn't help but over hear their conversation. What babe, who were they talking about? I couldn't help but ask myself as I dared not ask them. It better not be my sister because I know my sister could be a big flirt if she went all out for it. Just to be on a safe side I listened in on their conversation with my eyes still closed. "Oh it's even good sef, nah she they call me now, nah the babe Tasha they call. Make I answer am."

There was a little silence for a while until I heard a feminine voice come to life. She sounded cracked and raspy and my body immediately calmed down. It wasn't my sister for sure, so who was Tasha then, maybe the girlfriend to one of these guys. "Hi babe, how are you, how is school." The boy in question was quiet for a while. I had to open my eyes thinly just to be sure the guys were still there. "Babe, Michael are you there?" I heard and saw the supposed Michael sigh before he spoke. "Yes, yes I am here. School is fine, everything is fine."

"Oh alright that's good to hear. Ehen babe, wanted to tell you that the money you gave me is not enough."
Ooh well this should be interesting, I shut my eyes tightly as I stiffened my laughter. How can you call your supposed boyfriend and be asking him for money, in the middle of the night for that matter because it was already after twelve. I heard the guy Michael clear his throat slightly and I listened for his response .

"Awwn my babyyyyy!. See you do know what you will do? Make photocopy. Tch me that I am trying to perform magic trick, which is to survive this January with just 10k, you are telling me the 5k I sent you isn't enough. See boya you should make photocopy of the money ooo, because me I don't have any money to give you."

Ouch, bloody ouch. That was cold damn! Wait is this Tasha really his babe? And if she is, why that cold response? I don't think I could ever have the heart to give such a sarcastic response especially to a girl. While his friend where chuckling and struggling to hold their laugher, I was feeling sad for the poor girl. I am sure she must feel so embarrassed right now before I could continue my train of thought the supposed Michael spoke again saying "See semester just dey start, no stress me abegi make I no slap you through the phone."

"But babe I—" she never got to finish her sentence and that was because he hung up on her. Omo these guys are cold ooo... how far nah, no mercy at all, now I really feel pity for the girl, not like I could do anything about it but I would like to know her maybe get her a drink or two. "Omo it is 2am already ooo. Chia and I get class 8am later today like this. Woo fashiii I no go class." I open my eyes thinly again to see that it was Michael talking, did he just say two am, 2am??

Shit!

Now I seriously needed to sleep. As their noise reduced I squeeze my eyes shut and in due time sleep took over, sending me to a world where animals could talk. Yeap, I was immediately teleported to Neverland.

•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'

How I survive in that hostel over night till this morning is a miracle and a testimony I look forward to share in church. When I say I barely slept I meant I barely slept. As at 5:30am that my Alarm rang, the fellow students who were in the other rooms had woken up, at least some of them had. As a result they were all making noise and disturbing the sleep of the rest of us; as some where shouting "who stole my bucket?" Another set of people were shouting "where is my bailer oo" and if that wasn't bad enough someone was playing music again on a Bluetooth speaker.

In short it was a war zone this morning, The rest of us who were still sleeping eventually had to wake up and prepare for our class. I eventually go up from bed and headed to the bathroom, on getting there... the crowd in the bathroom; dear lord have mercy! Some us who couldn't find space to bath in the bathroom, we eventually had to bath outside. I became shy in that instant, I didn't want to bathe outside, come on fresh boy like me! any passerby will see my glory. God forbid bad thing, I ended up not bathing at all as I was already running late for my classes, I just wore a pair of crazy jean, Black round neck t-shift with a nice loafers, and just like that I headed for my 8am class.

"We are discussing about the equipment that can be found in a television station, a good example is a teleprompter. A teleprompter, also known as an autocue, is a display device that prompts the person speaking with an electronic visual text of a speech or script. Using a teleprompter is similar to using cue car."  yeah as you have rightly guessed it. I am one of the freshers from the department of mass communication in this prestigious university, Olawole Ateredolu University (OAU). And thanks to the inadequate sleep I had, I can't stay awake for the life of me.

My left elbow on the table and I used it prop myself upward as I rested my cheek on my palm. I was in that sitting position and before I knew it I had dozed off already, completely forgetting that I was in a class. It was until I felt the shadow of someone behind me and soon after, the person taped me. "You there, stand up! What is your name?." I stuttered it was the lecturer for the class, damn it! I was definitely in so much trouble now this one that he was asking for my name. "It's, urr— urrrmmm — the, the name is Skyler. No I mean Tyler. Tyler Ibukunoluwa Adeoye"

"Oh so Omo Yoruba nii é and you are sleeping in my class. Oh ní respect oo." He complained and I shut my eye tightly regretting my actions of sleeping in class. It's not like it was intentional sef ehh before I could think of a way to get out of that situation or possibly apologize to save myself, He said "oya go, go and stand in front of the class, let me see how you want to manage and doze off there." I sighed and squeeze my eyes shut. I was beyond embarrassed as I followed his instruction and stood in front of the class.

The lecture lasted for two hours and the whole time the lecture was going on, all eyes were on me, I could feel some of the ladies checking me out because of my natural hair which was a mop of curls on my head. In as much as I wanted to bask in that glory I couldn't, not when I was being punished and publicly humiliated like this. Thank God the class was only for two hours and in no time another lecturer walked in to teach us history of mass communication. It was then and only then was I released from my punishment.

•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'•'

"Damn! Last night has got to be the worse night of my life!" That was the statement I and my twin sister said in union. Yeap Skyler and I bumped into each other at the cafeteria, hall 707. It was the biggest cafeteria location at the heart of the school, a walking distance from my department. Immediately we both said that to each other at the same time, we hugged each other in sympathy and understanding.

"No cap sis, hostel is the worst, I don't know who sent me, who sent us messages to apply for hostel self." I whine in her ears as we both stood in line to get food. I was beyond famished and I just couldn't wait to get to hostel before getting something to eat, that's why I branched, well it's a good thing I took a detour to come here if not I would not have run into my sister the way I did. "Bro! I know right, I wish we didn't make that stupid bet with cousin Marlo that we could survive in a school hostel, I swear school hostel is trench."

She lamented as well. We both settled to eat the same thing which was fried and jollof rice 400naira, one turkey 500naira and a bottle of Pepsi to push it down. We looked for an empty seat and we both occupied it sitting directly opposite each other. We both said a word of prayer before consuming the food because it's only God that knows what and what was put into making the food. "So how are your roommates?" She asked me, after a while of chewing my food; I took a sip from my Pepsi to push it down before I opened my mouth to give her the full gist of what happened yesterday.

"Omoooo, that guy harsh o...ahan, photocopy money. Hiaw is like I've not heard that kind of shade before." I chuckled at her response and shook my head before putting my own input saying. "Naso we see am ooo. You nko, how are your roommates, I hope they didn't cause trouble." She took a few bites from her turkey, before putting a few spoons of the rice in her mouth.

After washing it down with her Pepsi she swiped her mouth a-bit with the serviette before speaking. "Bro, Hmph my hostel ehen?? I don't even know who has a better hostel between the both of us, because yesterday night they stole somebody's hijab and as a result we couldn't sleep. The girl was just shouting at 1am in the morning, I think her name is something yemi or along that line, I don't really know sha."

I laughed at her. At least I knew we both didn't have a great first night in hostel and I felt at easy, not because I am happy about it but because at least we were on the same page. My twin and I have been inseparable from birth and the fact that she looks a lot like me, yet she looks nothing like me is what makes me cherish our bond. I remember when we were writing jamb, we coincidentally picked the same university, even though her mind wanted to choose Unilag and for me I wanted to put Babcock University. I guess fate somehow had its way with us.

"Omo it's time to go our separate ways, neverland calls." I exclaimed before burping loudly, she gave me a mocking grimace, threw the plastic of her empty Pepsi bottle at me. I laughed and dodged it with ease, she just nodded in agreement saying "I couldn't agree more."

A/N

Even me self I couldn't agree more.
It's their closeness for me oo.
Who will give me twin brother like this biko. 🥺🥺
Lol Any way, we have come to the end of the Second chapter and I am sure you all are loving the twin bound between the Adeoye's. 😌😌

So now we have meet our male lead ... or so you thought, haha just kidding he is actually the male lead. What do you guy think of Tyler guys?

A little childish, maybe, not up to what his character Aesthetic portrayed? Hmmm I won't be too quick to judge his character if I were you.

I know, I know you are probably thinking the character aren't give the vibe you anticipated. What did you expect, they are all in 100level duh, so of cus they won't give the vibe yet. The book is just starting guys, so I would like you all to kick back and relax.

I don't have an update schedule, and honestly I don't plan on making a schedule because it will be hectic to keep up with it. But oh well let's keep our hopes up for every Friday.
