Chapter 2
In front of the gate of an huge building FRIVOLOUS COLLEGE is imprinted in big bold letters depicting that we are at the right venue
"wow,this place is really nice and spacious" trust my mum to always comment about everything she comes across
"yeah mum it sure is " I remark " ill always go for the best you know " I add .
Frivolous college is a college situated at the outskirts of the town probably for a serene environment....banana island to be precise...meant for rich kids obviously....its environment beautifully decorated with both artificial artworks and natural ornamental plants..its really worth a sight.
The first building we got to was the administrative block, a three storey building painted purple and lemon..." Nice combination" I whisper to my mum..even if it isn't nice as far as lemon is there ...to me it'll always be nice ..yeah always be nice
We both step into the reception hall which as our legs touch the ground its as if we were gonna sink after all..the air conditioning is breath taking .its almost like a living room....quite exquisite though.
"Good afternoon missus , you are most welcome to frivolous international college. How may I help you please? Said the receptionist or better still recited the receptionist because it was said in the most robotic voice I have ever heard. I try not to laugh at her and end up choking on my own breath
" take care ma " she said to me this time more humanly , I guess she wasn't thought how to say that .. Mum doesn't say anything she only looks at me and looks away probably knowing the reason why I choked
" we came for the registration for the ongoing tutorials" my mum says after some seconds
"For the registration, move right you will see a door , knock and you'll be attended to from there"
"Thanks ma'am" my mum says obviously imitating the receptionist's robotic voice" but she said she wants to use the convenience hall" she adds pointing at me....oh so she still remembers..hell I told her while we were still on our way , its nice though cos am starting to feel pressed again
" yes that's true " i add as I nod simultaneous
" okay ma'am, but there's gonna be a little difficulty because the only convenience hall in this building for visitors is presently out of bounds the only one available is for teachers and random parents alone which is always locked" she says almost in a rush.
" so what do we do about that now cos as I said earlier she's pressed"
" okay ,its better she just use the one in the classroom area " ...at least there's one for me to use no matter where it is....i cant help the sigh of relief that falls from my lips.
In seconds I've been given direction on how to get to the ladies just after my mom was already offered a sit...i really hope its not as far as she was describing it cos am pretty sure my mum would start freaking out ..yeah she would ....
Just as I take the first turning by the left according to'miss robotic voice's" instruction... A little fair skinned girl walks up to me
" Hey , am Bessie Williams, I'm in the humanities department....i don't actually attend this school I only came for the tutorials cos I heard its very good at the course I wanna go for...yeah I heard its good for journalism cos that's what I wanna study......" Wow...see what I've got ..? ..a real chatterbox....i try to think of other things then my eyes drifts to the colours of the classroom block ....orange and lemon..i think the owner of the school's really got a thing with lemon ..maybe like I do as well
" oh you like the colours , yeah I like them as well cos my boyfriend does , i personally prefer pink " she brings me back to the present making me remember she was actually still here as i had momentarily forgotten she was still here
" and..." So she's just remembering the fact that i haven't told her my name or better still her lips haven't hung up long enough for me to ask . " Rhoda " i say to assist her
" oh Rhoda , nice name you've got , i wanted to ask you why you were just coming for the tutorials cos i trust my mum she for sure won't allow me stay at home for a freaking second as far as she knows that tutorials are on ".
"Haven't we gotten to the ladies yet " i blurt out but try to cover up with the fakest smile I've had to put on at least as far as i can remember
"oh I almost forgot" she squeals grinning from ear to ear like I told her she just won a million dollars ..."you aren't Nigerian right "she blurts again
"yeah that's true but am still Nigeria though" I then wince at the mention of me saying I was Nigerian.." But am biracial" I quickly add. She then shows me the convenience hall ....she truly almost forgot because it was the building right in front of is . "thanks" I mumble and walk to the convinence hall ....without her of course
RHODA'S MUM'S Pov
" What's keeping her so long " I cant help but ask the receptionist as I don't think I can bottle up the anxiety in me any longer
" she should be on her way by now " she answers and gives me a look like " you care too much , she isn't a baby any longer " who cares whatever she thinks anyway..i also think and roll my eyes at her but fortunately for us she's with her system
RHODA'S pov
"um sorry, " i mumble as i try to pack the books that I've made to fall..what on earth was i thinking of that made me bump into him..i try to ask myself
" its okay really " he says and look up to stare into an handsome face with rather striking features ...,he then collects the books from me and rises to his full length ......"Damn....he's fucking hot" is all that comes to my mind as he's busy examining his books probably for the damage done ..i also use the opportunity to access him , his looks and all.....Nigerian dudes aren't bad after all ...i say to myself under my breath of course
" um , am Collins he says to me immediately offering a hand
"um ,um yeah, actually um am Rhoda , yeah Rhoda " I tried helping myself from stuttering but it was like it got worse " Nice meeting you" he says as we shake hands " where are you going and where are you coming from " he says obviously trying to start a conversation which normally I would have loved but not now when my mum would start freaking out any moment from now .
" um, actually I went to the convenience hall and am true now so I'm heading back to the administration block where my mum would be waiting for me by now"
" Oh," he says and nods his head obviously trying to put the piece of information together " I think I'll just see you another time in that case ......nice meeting you though" he says with an outstretched hand
" nice meeting you too" I say with a smile and moments later I'm almost running to the administration block"
"Where on earth did you go" she screams "I was almost freaking out" she adds
