They were both jogging along side with each other with their headphones as they both listened to their individual songs, suddenly
Nelly stopped she removed her headphone and signaled to Ella to remove hers too. "What?" Ella yelled. "There was no spider on the bed right?" Nelly asked. "Of course not, it was just a means to an end" Ella blurted out. "Thank goodness, because I was planning on going to see a doctor, if that was true, cos I can't bear having a skin irritation now that the school "All Night" is at hand" she had barely finished what she was saying when Ella pulled her out of the way, then she turned and saw that a car was behind them, suddenly the car slowed down, and the glass wind down. Nelly thought it was one of Ella's admirers so she didn't even bother to look.
It was their day to day experience on campus; each time they were going out, up to ten cars would stop for Ella, Nelly later wondered if they all decided to hire a car in order to please Ella.
Ella stood closer to the car because she was positive they came for her, and then the guy brought out his head through the window, winked at Ella and then turned to Nelly who stood a few meters away. "Hello dearie" he said looking at Nelly.
Nelly who never expected a 'hello' from the guy, kept mute, then realization struck her because he was still looking at her, expecting a word at least which meant that the question was directed to her "hello me?, is the hello directed to me?" she heard herself asking. "Of course, I just wanna ask a question" he said, "shoot me" she replied. "As lean as you are, you jog every morning; tell me, what exactly do you want to lose because it's definitely not weight cos you don't have any, so tell me do you want to disappear? Because the piece of you that is left will only take a few days to melt away"
Nelly just stood there confused, this wasn't what she expected it too much for to take, then she lost her sense of speech, she wanted to say something but nothing came out. Suddenly strength came to out of nowhere as she took to her heels and headed straight to their lodge, the jog of the day was over for her.
Ella turned towards the guy and the only thing she could say was "congratulations" and ran after her friend. The guy just jeered as his friends hailed him and he drove off, without feeling guilty at all, he actually felt fulfilled.
