"Hey,what's the hurry"? My roommate shouted after me as I slammed d door and raced down the stairs. I couldn't believe it. I was late on my first day of sch, well I can remember I stayed up all night preparing for my first day,now am late! I quickly flagged down a bike, gave him directions and we were on our way to school. I was seriously hoping lectures hasn't started yet, but with what I heard my department starts lectures immediately school resumes. As I approached the hall I could see that lectures has started. My worst nightmare just came through! I couldn't skip this lecture it was the first, as I was deciding whether to skip d lecture or not,the lecturer saw me! Geez....I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me! How did he know I was there? Of course he knew I was there, anyone could easily see me through the window you idiot I said to myself as I approached the lecturer. What are you doing out there? He questioned me. I knew I had to cook up a very convincing lie cos telling him I overslept would look stupid. "Can't you answer"?! he shouted. "I missed my way while coming here sir". Anyway just come in, I don't have time for lazy students like you. You're lucky am in a good mood today". "Thank you sir". "Come back here" I stopped dead in my tracks. What could this bone head possibly want from me again? I said within myself. "What's your name' he asked, 'Anne Ogunbayo' sir. 'I'll be watching you, go and have your seat'. 'Thank you sir',I said as I forced my way through until I found a vacant seat at the back. 'You're very lucky he asked you in'. I heard someone whisper into my ears. I looked back to see who was talking, well well if it wasn't Harry Porter himself. The voice turned to be a guy, he was wearing a small thick lens glasses that looked exactly like Harry Porter's. I nodded in affirmation to what he said, I was indeed lucky. The lecturer babbled for about an hour more before he ended the lecture, phew! I was relieved. I was already packing my bag n getting ready to leave the hall when I heard the voice again. 'Hy am Dayo, you must have used something on the lecturer before coming in. 'What do you mean? I questioned him. My brother told me he hates distractions during his classes and he doesn't let students enter after he has started his lectures'. Oh! Lol, yea well I wasn't expecting him to allow me in d class sef' I replied. 'So you speak pidgin, you look like all these ajebutter kids'. 'Abeg I laughed don't let my looks deceive you o' .No wahala, so where are you heading to now? 'The motion ground, I need to grab a bite and meet someone there'. 'Oh cool! Am also going there, wanna make photocopies of some materials'. He told me. 'Materials! I exclaimed, how did u get it? Wait wait I said, don't tell me, your brother gave you the materials right? 'Yea, good thinking but how did u figure it out'? I laughed. When we started talking you mentioned your brother so I just did the maths'. Wow! You're really smart. We talked as we left the hall and headed to the motion ground, although my day started a bit rough I have a feeling its about to get better.
