Love is but a Dream (1)

I was glad, to finally be in school. I had waited two years, written series of exams, read all the books i could so i was happy when i finally got admitted into a university. My father was a very stern man, he never believed in bribery or private schools he believed in merit and i had waited two years till i finally got a favour from merit. Well, i was in school already and that was all that mattered. I wanted to focus and study as hard as i could. I was the girl nobody knew. I had never had a boyfriend and i was 18, well i never told anybody that though because i knew they'ld act like it was some kind of disease. So i just kept it to myself.
I stayed in my room most of the time when i didnt have classes with my crazy room mates, we had nothing in common but we got along well. We had Rachel, the outgoing one. Rachel never missed any party in school, at first i didnt like her but then i noticed besides her bad addiction to parties she was actually very studious, she was funny and nice. She was one of the popular girls in school. So she supplied us with quality gists fresh.
There was Dami, the loud one, she was always getting into fights with girls in other rooms. I never looked for her trouble after one occasion when she beat up Belle a girl from the room opposite ours because she had taken her toaster without permission and hadn't returned it. Well i cant fight, and i dont cherish bruises so i just stay as far as i can. Then there was Julie she was also a fresher like me, (Dami and Rachel were final year students.) she was also lousy, very popular for her affairs with boys in school. Well, guess you figured i was the quiet, goody two shoes in the room.
It all started one day, my adventure into the unknown world, the world that only existed in fairy tales. We were out on rag day, everybody had costumes on except me, i didnt like the idea of dressing like a mad person and begging on the streets. Besides, my dad warned me against it. So i was with my room mates, we were all walking together around the school. It was quite fun, we were taking pictures, Julie was cracking her silly jokes, Rachel was singing and dancing and making good money. I was the photographer. After a couple of hours under the hot sun, we were all tired and sweaty and very hungry so we later put money together and decided to buy a big bowl of icecream and share it together. We went into the closest restaurant we spotted and got our icecream, Rachel insisted we all sat at the centre of the restaurant we all sat at the table and descended on the icecream, we made a lot of noise and drew a lot of attention as we fought over the icecream, my normal reserved attitude had disappeared so i even threw in a few jokes and laughed loud. Then Julie started. 'Oh boy, you guys carefully turn 9 o'clock. Check out those boys.'
'i dont think they're from our school' Dami observed, carefully staring at the boys. I also looked. Those boys were hot, they were three, tall and dark was all i could notice before i quickly turned my face away before they noticed us staring. When it was Rachel's turn to look, she screamed. 'ahan now, are girls dull ni, they're from our school now. 400 level archy boys. I know the one in the middle. Thats Michel i think' and then she shouted his name. Me, Dami and Julie were quite shocked. Everybody was staring at us now. I didnt even look to see if the boy answered i just focused on my icecream like my whole life depended on it. I was wondering if Rachel had forgotten she was wearing rags. Well the boy answered her. And Rachel being Rachel, she didnt stand up, so the three boys stood up and walked to where we sat. I was nervous o. They were so tall and recklessly handsome. I didnt look up. Until they said hello. They they shook our hands. I got my eyes on the second one. (i had numbered them in my mind) he was fair, he had dimples and an accent. His name was Jesse. The third one was dark, had nice set of teeth and very lovely eyes. His name was Kunle. We all introduced our selves. And the boys offered to buy us more icecream which we declined. They joked about Rachel's costumes. I kept quiet all through though. They had that effect on me. Especially Jesse. I kept staring at him. After he caught me a few times. I stopped and focused on my nails. Well the boys left. We all said our goodbyes and customary 'nice to meet you'.
'mehn, did you see how the dark one was checking aisha out?' it was Dami. She was always bringing up stuffs like that. But he wasn't checking me out, i would have noticed, well maybe i didn't cus i was busy staring at Jesse.
'he wasn't jo. You've started.' i said.
'i think he was too' julie added her own.
'Lie! The both of you are high' i didnt mind though. He was also handsome. But he wasn't jesse. I laughed at my self, mumu the boy didnot even notice you.
'how would she know, ode when she was busy gulping down the icecream' that was Rachel.
'abi! You're going to pay me back'
