There were some lecturers, who just derived pleasure in frustrating the lives of girls by demanding for sex. They usually withheld the results of students, especially female students. This was quite disgusting and outrageous. Day by Day, the evil continued. When I was told about it, I refused to believe it. Until it finally got to my turn, to be messed up by the devil.

My first and second years in university, passed by quickly. I was now in my third year.

I arrived lectures late today, because I had woke up a bit late. I juggled to class, panting. I quickly rushed to take my seat, as lectures had began. O boy, it was Mr Gbanjo's period!
"Stop right there young lady!" He thundered. I halted immediately.
"Good... morning sir!" I muttered.
"Why are you just arriving now?" I shivered a little, as everyone's starred at me I took a deep breath.
"Sir, I know I'm wrong and I apologize. I'll try to be conscious of time, next time."
"This is the reason why Nigeria will never progress. Time is always a problem for you citizens to keep! So now you're done, by saying sorry? Tell me, has it changed anything? Your fellow course mates are already writing their test. If you like, stand and apologize for a mistake you will likely make next time." I was great full his scolding had ended. I quickly took my sit.
"Why are you late?" Faith asked in a whisper.
"That shouldn't be the question. Why are we taking a test now? Look am not ready!"
"Did I hear you talk?" He questioned. I didn't reply, but quickly took down the questions. Believe me, I tried to write what I wasn't preparation for.
Five Minutes Later - - -
"Pens up! Now submit." Faith and I exchanged glances. I heard the last thing I least expected to here in a moment like this.
Hoping for the best with the little I solved and the little write up I wrote, I submitted.
"That was damn crazy!" I lamented, as we both walked out of the lecture hall.
"It was really tensed in there. I think I need an ice cream break."
"Yeah me too."

"This is horrible! I can't help your case young lady." Mr Gbanjo said in tone of finality. I had failed his test and I couldn't afford to fail any test or exam now, especially as I approach my final years. I had to do anything possible to make sure I pass. First class was my target.
"Sir please... It's just a test. I promise to do better." Mr Gbanjo countenance changed as he frowned.
"I hate promises! Work on your mistakes and take corrections!"
"Yes sir! Noted." Mr Gbanjo sighed.
"Anyway, there might still be a way out." He grinned.
"Sir I'm ready for anything. Just score me please..."
"Well... You're a beautiful girl. And may be of help in terms of Shay. Here let me..." He scribbled something on paper and passed it to me.
"There, a hotel address. We can make it this weekend. Saturday will be just fine." I just looked on, bewildered and in utter shock.
"Sir, please I don't get?"
"I have only given you an option! There's nothing else I can do for you." He said sternly.
"But sir..." I pleaded.
"Please sir, can I pay you, instead? If you allow?" He flared.
"What! How dare you! You tell me what to do, and even bribe me?"
"No, not like that Sir... I am sorry I was only suggesting a more decent way..." He banged the table with his hands and aggressively stood up.
"My God, this imp has insulted me! Get out!" I took the paper and scoot away.
