Have you seen a situation where someone came in through the main gate and went to pass through another route to go out?
Elena nodded in disagreement.
that's what happened to me, I missed my way severally before I was able to know the way home.
how has campus life been? she asked again.
I could tell that when you came into the campus you noticed that everyone was heading in several directions. Right?
yes, everyone was too busy to say " hello".
that's how campus life is, everyone is always busy doing one thing or the other, and you could barely see people in groups having any discussion. Although, they discuss that usually happens in the afternoon after Lectures, and secondly, the campus is " another world".
It's another world because you have the power to do what pleases you at your will without any disturbance or interruption from anyone. Those who are not disciplined are not difficult to identify when they are on campus, those who are disciplined and know what they are here for are easily identified too.
my advice is that, when you resume, you should be very careful when you're here. you have to watch everyone around you before you choose the people you want to make friends with and mind you when you do that, there are a lot of pretenders too.
they will pretend to be good whereas they are the " goats in sheep's clothing".
I won't have friends either because I don't want trouble. Elena cut in.
Elena, I want to make something clear to you.
what's that.? she asked almost immediately.
you cannot hide from people, you cannot decide to stay away from people because you must meet them at the shop, market, on the street, in class, and in different places. you are a social being my dear, all I want from you is to be extra careful.
Elena nodded in agreement.
The girls had a little discussion and then they slept off. Elena couldn't sleep well that night. it is in her nature not to sleep on the first two days in a new environment. she had tried severally to stop it but it had seen impossible. Now, while she is supposed to sleep, she is watching every part of the room.
it was almost hours, and the coldness of the room during the early hours has made her fall asleep. She had planned to return home the following morning According to the instructions she was given by her parents, most especially by her Dad. even when she slept so late, she woke up first. She took her bath and waited for the morning to be brighter the way it is before she will embark on her journey.
Jane was surprised when she saw the way she was. she sat up and decided to question her.
.Are you going anywhere? she asked Elena.
yeah, Jane. I will be returning home today.
why? so quick?. she asked her.
it's my parent's instruction. Elena answered back.
