That Friday last lecture was quite boring. Worst is that I hate the course and I also don't like the lecturer handling it. I wouldn't say that I "hate" the lecturer as a person anyway but he simply makes the course so boring and uninteresting for students. I had wondered what concerns my field with computer programming but couldn't figure it out. But I simply have no choice but to do the much I can at least to avoid the occasion of having to sit for carry overs.
The lecture, though was that boring and students were getting tired to go, wasn't really same feeling for me because I wasn't in the mood to go home. I was really thinking hard to find a possible gist that I could employ in order to dismiss the hard nut waiting for me to be cracked by the time I get home. The feeling I had that day while at the class was like that of a man that wouldn't want to go home after closing from work on a hectic day because of his family challenges, maybe from wife or kids. I was quite lost in my thoughts, thinking a lot that I didn't know when the lecturer left the class after dropping an assignment to be submitted to the class rep the following week. It was as students were murmuring over that, complaining of heavy load of other assignments already in their calender that I woke up from my vission.
Without wasting further time after the class, I gathered up my books and my other belongings and left. I was about climbing down from the second row of the staircase down to the ground floor when I heard her yelling after me from the upper floor. "Wait for me there!" she commanded and walked down hastily to meet me. "What's wrong with you, Alex?" she asked me with a more mild voice different from the one she has halted me with. "I'm fine" I replied. "Why did you have to talk to me like that yesterday night?" she asked. "How, when?" I asked. "You don't know?" she asked again. I was getting really uncomfortable this time and started to make a move down further. "Look Jenny, this is not just one of those times to argue please. I want to go home right away please" I said. "Lie-lie!" she retorted, "who was that with you when I called you last night?" "No one" I answered almost immediately. "Ehhhee?" she replied with a very suspicious look on her face. "Please, I would like to go now. I've somewhere to go from here before I reach house" I said. She held my hand as I wanted to go, drawing me close to her. I felt her ever hot but very soft palm squeezed into mine as always as she stammered, "Alex please what's wrong with us? You have been avoiding me lately and I really don't know what I've done. Please we need to talk..." I felt really touched here and also kinda embarrassed because we were in public for crying out loud. Jenny is someone that wouldn't really "send" anyone no matter what. She's not the type that would keep her relationship personal. She wouldn't mind letting everyone that cares to know that you two are dating. All I could respond to her after her request was "Ok. I felt a deep sense of guilt which I must not allow myself to reveal to her and made my way to go. By the time this drama was over, I discovered that virtually everyone has left the entire block of that building except for me and Jenny. I held her hand that way and made way to the ground floor. We parted ways not saying further word except "Bye" as she walked towards the direction leading to her Hostel in the school, just a few blocks away.
I crossed to the other side of the road and joinedother people going off camp to wait for the campus shuttle. Shortly after, a bus showed up and everyone was in. I was really fighting the guilt in my heart to make myself feel better. I knew I was doing something wrong but I don't want to accept it to be so evil as my conscience would make me feel. After all, everyone else does it. Why must I feel so different about mine? I kept thinking in and out of my thoughts. I was in a very depressed state of mind, worried for nothing if you asked me. I brought out my phone to press and found out I've received a lot of PINGS while at the class that I've not responded to. Pamela's own was at the top list to indicate she was the last I received. I opened it and it reads, "baby where are you?" I skipped hers, and started replying others. Jenny's own was the next and it reads "How are you" and I replied "fine" not taking note of the time it was delivered into my inbox. She chattted me back almost immediately, "Are you home now?". I thought first that those PINGS were ones I missed while I was in the class though and wasn't really expecting an immediate replies when I was responding to them. "No, still in the bus, heading to town" I replied. "Ok" she replied and sent again,"baby, I will come after clean up tomorrow. I mean after the general clean up in the morning". I read the message holding my phone still thinking of what to reply to her. My hand was sweating really so much and my heart beating really faster. "What will I tell this girl now" I thought to myself muttering. "Eh?" asked the next passenger in the bus, close to me. "No, bros" I said. " I wasn't talking to you". He looked at me and smiled. Again and again my phone vibrated on her 'PING!!!' "Baby, you there?" she chatted me again. I then typed immediately to respond to her, that "we will talk about that later, sweet. Let me get home first".......
