#MY_LOQUACIOUS_ROOM_MATE
EPISODE 4
I woke up in the night and found Jeff praying passionately.
I was moved to tears, see a destiny the devil intended to waste? I don’t know when he began but he prayed till daybreak.
I had a dream before dawn came. It was more of a warning than a revelation. Some of the hoodlums Jeff was involved with were planning to burn down our room while we were asleep.
I didn’t tell Jeff but while he went for lectures, I went out in search of a new place. Thank God I got a spacious room in a secured environment and paid straight away, washed the place and moved our things to the new place.
I had still not informed Jeff. He was rounding up his lectures and so I waited for him outside.
He said he was famished and needed something to eat urgently. We went to an eatery and he ate. I didn’t take anything because I have never eaten outside as my core values.
It was around 7:30pm when I told him to follow me, there was something I wanted to show him. He followed me anyway knowing I wouldn’t take him to a bad place.
We arrived at the house and I opened the door. He looked at me questionably but went in. He was surprised to see his clothes and mine well arranged in the room.
He sat on the chair and was staring at me and I began to explain the dream I had last night and why I looked for a new accomodation immediately.
He heaved a long sigh and began to undress so he could take his bath.
Meanwhile I had returned the key to the former house to the landlord and our rent was still six months ahead.
It was weekend so we didn’t go to school for two days.
On Monday morning, we boarded a bike together and entered into the school. Students began to scream and flee at the sight of us🤷
We were confused and we took turns glancing at ourselves. We kept moving, then I saw it!
Our obituary notice, it was a picture I and Jeff had taken during a paper presentation. We were smiling like we just won ourselves a lottery ticket.
The school was in great confusion and commotion as the supposed two ghosts of their students were walking right on campus to the sight of everyone.
We quickly decided to play along as ghosts 😂
We spoke at once after we have silently rehearsed what to say.
The security men abandoned their duty posts and the shops and cafeteria were left wide open with no one in view.
We decided against taking anyone’s property as we would have to pay later but trust other students who took advantage of the situation to fill their stomachs to the brim.😜
Some devoted NYCS brought holy water and were spraying on us and praying. Until we chorused together, We have not come to harm anybody but to avenge our dead. Jesus!!! They screamed out and fled in different directions 😂😂
Some ladies who met us on a corridor collapsed and fainted😂😂
Fear is a snare!! The boys who thought they had killed us came with charms and were enchanting gibberish nonsense until I woozed one of them a thunderous factory resetting slap 😂
The rest of them took a flight of light speed and vanished into thin air with there charms thrown here and there. The man who made the charms will be ashamed of their behaviour 😂😂😂 but he too wouldn’t dare or he’ll share in their fate.
The campus was deserted before dusk😂. All Israel to your tents 😂😂
The story continues…..
