Getting to the lodge we met Ms June by the pavilion she was supervising the cleaner's who were working in the lodge.
"Gud day Ms june" we both said in unison like we had planned it.
"Pretty ladies", She said with a smile "How are you? Ms june asked.
"We are fine" I replied.
"That's lovely to hear, Can I know your names? "Let me start from you" pointing to gabriella.
"I'm Gabriella peter's" She said and grinned.
"I'm Paris Smith," I said, pointing to myself.
"You both have alluring names, You can head to your lodge and always be cautious of the college's regulations and also abide by them" Ms june said with a happy face which was showing her diastema.
"Okk ma" Gabriella said.
Approaching our room we heard the college speaker announcing that they will be an orientation program for all newly admitted students in two days time which must be attended by all, The speaker went off. As the speaker was passing the information I wasn't really attentive, I was trying to figure out how Gabriella and Gabriel knew themselves. Was it from home or here in college? Or was it when we're writing the entrance examination in college that they met themselves? Are they in love with each other? My mind was really troubled and unsettled.
"Paris" Gabriella called, noticing I was a bit lost in thought.
Pretending like i wasn't lost in thought " Hey" smiling at gabriella.
"What's bothering you? Gabriella asked, a bit worried.
"It's nothing you should worry about, I'm just having some thoughts that's all" Giving her a plastic smile.
" If you say so" Gabriella said getting our room key from her bag.Home sweet home I really love this room paris it's specious,Hope u don't mind if i stay by the top bunk?.
"That's alright I don't mind" I said.
" I'm starving Paris," Gabriella said, touching her tummy.
Looking at her a bit uncleared "But we just ate by the cafeteria not too long why are you famished minutes after? " You are indeed a foodie" I said laughing
" I know I love eating but as a foodie I'm not sure about that" Gabriella said laughing deeply.
As we were talking the alarm for dinner rang
"Thank goodness can we leave for dinner? Gabriella asked wearing her slippers
" Please, I will join you soon," I said, picking my phone from the bed. " I am done" Opening the door to leave.
..................................
The dining hall is a big building with lots of tables and chairs. Also eating cutleries were placed on the table.The hall was filled to the brim with colleagues.We were to sit in groups of five, I and Gabriella sat on a sit which was just remaining two people. Not long after some chef came out with some dish bowl,dishing spaghetti with sauce and fruit drink.
After the food was served the hall became so quiet only the music from a speaker was being heard,Mid way into the dinner a young lady walked in she will be in her early thirty,she was dressed with an apron and scarf.
"Gud evening Everyone," She said.
"Gud evening Ms" we replied.
" I hope you all are enjoying your meal, my name is Ms Grace and i'm in charge of your feeding in this college,And whatever complaint you will be having regarding your meal should be directed to me" She said beaming. "That will be all for now,Now enjoy your meal" she left to supervise the kitchen.
Soon I noticed Gabriella was not having her fruits drink,"Hope you are good Gabriella" I asked
Putting her face up " Am good why did you ask?
"You are not taking your drink" I asked pointing to
her drink on the table
"Ohh!! Looking at the drink on the table" I'm allergic to prune juice so i can't have the drink to avoid adverse reactions,Paris you must be very observant to have noticed it" Gabriella said.
"Ok that's a good reason and always check the drink we will be served to avoid reactions regarding what you said" I told Gabriella with a smile.
"You can have my drink so it doesn't get spoilt" Gabriella suggested stretching her drink to me
"Oh!!! Thanks that was so nice of you"
"You are welcome, my roomie" Gabriella said and we both laughed.
I was already filled so I carried the drink along with me as we returned to the lodge,We passed a mail,So i decided to get some chocolate and body wash,suddenly remembered I did not see gabriel doing the dining session
"Gabriella, it seems Gabriel did not come for dinner this evening,should we call or check up on him?
"That won't be necessary. He is fine.Maybe he arrived early or came late to dinner because we may had missed ourselves, you know the dining hall is quite large.
