As i stepped into the waiting room, i noticed a long queue of students with red hot faces looking towards my direction, but i ignored them & quickly took a sit as i gasped for breath sweating profusely. After about two hours, it got to my turn, i hurriedly went in, did my screening & came out with brim smiles written all over my face but the joy was cut short as i ponder on the ugly scenario that has led to my lateness to the faculty. Tears almost dropped from my eyes as i thought about how FUNMI almost made me forfeited my admission.
I met funmi on the second day of resumption, we met in a cafeteria while trying to get a sit with a trail pan on my hand which contains a bottle of chilled drink and a sausage roll, our eyes met, she smiled and i felt this would be a good catch. As i sat down to gulp the contents in the trail, we introduced ourselves, we got talking about life and issues on campus and about the anticipated difficulties as a fresher. The discussion lasted for about two hours, we both exchanged contacts before she left.
I and funmi got along easily. We spent time together walking around the campus, visiting places, we went for our fresher orientation program, mountaineering, burn fire and wow it felt like we have known each other for years. One fateful Wednesday funmi invited me to her place which i obliged to go and when i got there, i met two other girls at her place, the atmosphere was bright and fun because i met them chatting and laughing though with bottles of alcoholic wines but something Wasn't right about the place. I perceived smells of marijuana, cigarettes and other local drugs and before then, i have heard rumours of funmi been an addict to marijuana and heroin, i thought about asking her but i felt i should wait till her friends leave. Funmi offered me a drink in a glass cup which i took with delight and gulped the whole content till the last drop because i was a bit thirsty as a result of the hot sunny weather and she advised i take another cup of the the liquor which i reluctantly accepted. After about thirty minutes i started feeling tipsy, my vision became blurred & i couldn't control my movement, i asked funmi what was added to the drink, the three girls started laughing and funmi vividly told me she added marijuana to the drink but obviously i couldn't do anything, i was left helpless as i dozed off watching the three girls in an uncontrollable laughter. I woke up 11:45am the next day with a slight headache and hangover then i managed to look around and found the other girls still sleeping due to the effect of the alcohol then it struck my mind that i was supposed to be at the screening venue at 10:am the deadline day, hastily i rushed out of the building, took a bike to my hostel, picked up my credentials and ran straight to my faculty to get my screening done.
I heaved a sigh of relief as i walked down to my hostel knowing fully well that my relationship with funmi has hit the wall, she is a wrong influence i said to myself and i forbid myself going close to her because my escapade with her almost got me doomed.
PAUSE: many at times we meet people with the right intention of getting to know them and basically kick-start a forster relationship but along the line we will end up feeling disappointed with the personality characteristics of that person. Statistics has shown that the average human have the potential to make flimsy mistake when we come across someone for the first time. YES! Infatuation sets in and there is these delight You feel and you always want to see that person, talk to that person and even spend special moments with that person at all time. Believe me, a lot of people conceal their bad attitudes so as not to be judged wrongly when giving someone a first impression and its in our best interest not to easily trust people within a short period of time because trust is for those who deserves it and not for those who demands for it so you won't end up losing something very special in your life, jeopardising your future or even regret meeting that person who once made you blushed.
