THE HEAT OF VIRGINITY
*Episode 2*
I then hid behind the canteen and after about 15 minutes she left the place. Tope then came to meet me and said. “Sorry about it.” I then said. “Its’s okay, no sweat. Your mom is strict right?” She said. “No, she’s not. I am preparing for JAMB exams and seeing me with a guy would upset her”. I then said to her. “Then why are you here working in the canteen? You should be attending lessons now”. She said. “My elder sister is not feeling too fine and she’s the one in charge of the canteen.
Yesterday was my first day here” I asked her. “What
course do you intend to study?” She said "Biochemistry". I said to her.
“I finished with a first class in Chemical Engineering so if you need any
assistance I will be glad to help you.” She said. “Wow, that will be nice. I
have a problem with chemistry and physics. You must be a genius! ” I laughed and
said. “No, I am not, I just love to read my books a lot. It takes hard work and
persistence to be successful. My dad is a Professor and my mom is a Judge, they
really encouraged me”. We finished cleaning up and I decided to walk her home
which she agreed. As we walked, we talked about our families and she opened up
about the challenges she faced gaining admission, being the only child amongst
her siblings privileged to attend a higher institution. I was so bent on making
her pass her JAMB and I promised her I would teach her through.
I convinced her to tell her mom she needed to prepare
for her exams and that she won't be able to continue with the running of the
canteen. The mom eventually succumbed and she got a replacement. I made an
arrangement with Tope, for her to be coming to my place 4:00pm Mondays to Fridays
and 1:00pm on Saturdays, which she agreed. My intentions were sincere, but with
a little thought of side attractions. In spite of being attracted to her, I wanted
her more than anything to pass her JAMB exams this time around...
