Mara rolled her eyes and made the sign of the cross. Worst exam yet, she fumed as she stood up and delivered her paper to the tall robust and unsmiling Mr Robert. Then she scanned the tense hall before walking down the aisle and out the door. She smiled when she saw Theodora looking out for her. She joined her and both of them embraced and whimpered. Leo soon joined them. A look in one another's eyes was enough to pass the message; the exam had been tough. "Does anyone care for ice cream?" Leo asked suddenly. Then their faces lit up and they strolled to the back of FASA hall where an icecream bicycle was standing near the popcorn box. "You're the best, Leo! Icecream is perfect for the celebration," said Theodora with a noisy sip. "It doesn't feel much like a celebration. Those questions were a perfect example of what I ordered versus what I got," Mara sighed. "Look on the bright side. We're done for the year and in a few days, we'l...

A Spin-off 🤭

EPISODE 6

"Nono, look at this one."

Nono looked at the picture Redeemed showed her. It showed her and Redeemed in a pose. They were all made up and had their matric gowns on. Redeemed was grinning while Nono was looking moody.

"Great," Nono muttered.

"Why was your face like that?" Redeemed asked.

"It's because I saw him. The snob was looking in our direction. He ruined the picture!" Nono fumed. Then she asked, "Why were you smiling like that? You're smiling like the cat in Alice in wonderland."

"It's because I saw him," Redeemed said with a sigh.

Nono scoffed. "Really?"

"Caleb was so handsome. It was like meeting Prince Charming," Redeemed said dreamily.

"I'll report you to your pastor," said Nono.

"Nono," Redeemed began with a giggle, "I'm not doing anything wrong by admiring God's creation."

"Caleb is a jerk and a snob, like all history students," Nono declared.

"You're being unfair," Redeemed said.

"They're mean to us! We don't even do anything. Is it because they own the classroom that they can chase us out of our seats if they like? Plus, they laugh at us and make rude remarks quietly whenever we fail a question, and Caleb supports them!" Nono said angrily.

"That's true," Redeemed admitted sadly. "That's the only thing keeping us apart," she added in a whisper.

Nono stood up and Redeemed pulled her down quickly. She held her friend in a tight embrace and shook her head. Nono stopped struggling to free herself and said, "Choose him or me."

"My darling. My boss," Redeemed said cutely and Nono smiled.

Nono was in a good mood until the next class; History. She and her course mates frowned as they entered and sat among the History students. 025 Mass com had complained about the History students to their boss in the group chat. Nono had only told them to..."Ignore them. It's the worst injury you can give them."

That's what Nono did to Caleb when he teased her with his kind greetings. She looked ahead of her and kept her mouth shut. She observed that her fellow Jacksonites did likewise. She smiled with pride and nodded encouragingly to her flock.

It would have been a good lecture had the lecturer not scolded Nono for not providing him with a separate attendance list. It was an innocent mistake of Nono, but the lecturer (who must have woken up on the wrong side of his bed) took it too personal.

"I don't understand this department. In all my years of handling this course, this blue department will always give me headache. Just look! The class rep is even a female! Where is that done? If you can't do your job well, step down and let a serious young man handle it!"

What's worse, the History students goaded him with their remarks of approval. 😒

Mass com was scandalized. Nono was speechless with anger, but she wasn't mad at the lecturer. The teases of the history students hurt more than the insult of the lecturer.

As soon as the lecturer left, someone from history began to chant, "Headache department!" The chant was taken up and the mass com students looked unhappily at their class rep. They wanted to react but they considered her.

Caleb looked at Nono. She had a dark look on her face. Before he could do anything, she sprang up and went for the door. Caleb usually told them not to slam the door because of its weak hinges. With rage, she pulled the knob and let it swing freely backwards. It banged as it hit the wall.

"Hey!" someone shouted.

The Jacksonites got the message. One by one, they left the class and pushed the door open as they left. The history students shouted in protest. Caleb jumped to his feet when a guy slammed the door really hard. He rushed forward but Nono stood in his way. He glared at her. She returned it, with intimidating audacity.

"Redeemed," Caleb called when Redeemed reached for the door knob. She was the last of the Mass com students. Redeemed looked at Caleb, then at Nono. "Come on, boss," she said.

Nono smiled and walked to her friend. Then, Redeemed closed the door behind them loudly.

"Caleb, are we really going to take that?" one of them shouted.

Caleb didn't reply. His countenance was far from pleased. He ground his teeth as he muttered, "Nono." 😠


To be continued.

Mara took a deep breath. She fingered her mouse and pulled the cursor to the left side of the screen. She touched the icon, "Submit now." As usual, it was beeping rhythmically, copying the pounding heart beats of tense students who sweated over their exam questions. Mara smiled at the icon and flexed her fingers before she clicked on it for the last time, as a year one student. The air was fresh and sweet as she descended the stairs of Nnamdi Azikiwe library and stepped through the large door. She breathed it in and smiled. "Freedom," she mumbled. With her friend, she rushed to the front of the library where her other classmates were assembled. In the middle of the gathering was Steve, the class rep. Everyone looked at his grin in anticipation. The he opened his mouth. "No longer freshers!" Steve shouted with his knuckle thrust in the air and the students cheered. They caused quite a scene as they screamed, danced and sang, "One year don waka! We stil...

Featuring Agugua Anastasia Chiazokam Profile: Jacksonite, class of 2025. "Lights, camera, action!" Ifeanyi gave the call and his colleague leaned and peered into the camera while Ifeanyi looked ahead. Seated before the crew in PG building were two Jacksonites. Nick, the first, was the tall, dark and handsome leader of the 025 media team. He was the host of the show, Talk with 025. To fit into his role, he was dressed in his departmental uniform. Also, it was a Monday. Stasia however was dressed in black palazzo pants and a beautiful vintage shirt. Her hairdo was a bunch of colourful plaits packed in a ponytail. Her dark rimmed glasses rested on her pretty nose and her caramel complexion gleamed (especially at her forehead) as the light of the camera touched her face. To the camera, Nick smiled and said, "Hello, dear viewer and welcome to another session of the show, Talk with 025. I am your humble host, Nick. With me is a beautiful young woman who has travelled the ends ...

A NIGHT OF FOREVER Anaelechi Miracle Smart Smart Anaelechi (Facebook) The Whatsapp status of all my classmates was covered with my engagement pictures, and all social media they belonged to wasn't exempted. I felt like I was in heaven as I admired my pictures consecutively. Even the viral pictures of Moses Bliss' engagement weren't compared to mine. I swam the ocean of ecstasy, hallucinating about different famous locations where my wedding would be held regardless of John's financial instability.   That night was as though there was a standstill on earth. It was a night but sleep never ran past my eyes, even after countless struggles for a nap, yet, my eyes were agape. Since there was nothing to do. I invaded the profile of some wedding fashionistas to glance at so many gowns to wear on my big day.  "God, soon, I will become a wife." I beamed a smile on each reminisce as I gave a screen kiss to John's picture.  It had been a year since I knew John who wor...
