"Hello,mom" Moore rushed towards his hostel, he had to be back in class before the starts of his practical exam and to avoid being distracted, he reckoned he should call his mother on his way; "I missed your call. Are you okay, ma'am?" He asked his mother whilst walking on the school trail leading to his hostel. "I am okay, Son. I just needed to hear from you, it's been days, don't you think? Do you need anything? Would you like me to send you anything?" Mrs Ade asked. "No, ma'am. I will be sure to ask you about that if I eventually find something I am in need of. You know me?" Moore kept maintaining his focus on the line. He fixed his body to keep walking on his self-made line that he didn't see a thick girl dressed in all black running towards him. "Wooosh - the sound", she hit him and all the books he held fell off. She dropped her bag and started arranging them immediately. At the sameness, apologizing to him. "I am really sorry, I was too carried away and I was not looking and...." She paused when she tried to place the first set she could grasp on his opened arms, she noticed how immensely handsome he is. Intimidated by his looks, She bent her head with immediacy to pick his other books not letting him join her to pick them for she fears she would not be able to control herself to move forward quickly from that instance. She hurriedly place his second set of books, arranged disorderly this time, on his arms and ran off after picking her portable backpack, fixed her fashionable glasses as she ran gently. Moore watched her run away from him and wondered what just happened, he smirked at how bouncy her thick body presented itself whilst she ran and he wished he got her name. "She is so beautiful" he muttered. "Who are you referring to, son?" Mrs Ade was still on the line following everything that happened but she waited for him to be back on the line. Moore smiled, picked up the band she left on the floor with a tiny piece of paper before answering his mother's question. "Nothing you need to worry about for now,ma. I will call you later in the night before I sleep, have a great day. Do not forget to open the blinds and enjoy the sun. Do not stay in the room all day, okay? I am sure Dad will soon get back from his shift, right?" To Mrs Ade, Moore sure sounds like an older brother she never had. Hence, whenever she could not reach her husband, she takes measures with speaking to Moore to help calm her nerves. "Right, son. Take good care of you" she emphasized with a slight sigh. "Take care of you too" Moore placed his phone properly in his bag and his book back in order, stared at the wrist band he found on the floor with the initials "B.B." before entering his room. He giggled and wondered if the full meaning of the initials are, "Beautiful …Bold…." before placing the tiny piece of paper, the bracelet-like band into his treasure box ,left a short note for his roommate and headed back to the practical room.
"Hey B. What took you so long?, did you wake up late?" Blue who happened to be her Bestie asked her but Sharon, another friend of Beulah's spoke on her behalf sarcastically, "you know, you know the vibes?, she is always sleeping late and waking up so early only when she is sure there is a test and an exam. If she isn't, she chooses when to come to class". Beulah who was still panting and catching her breath brought out her pen and other things for the important exam, shook her head in disbelief at how they intend to make her feel insecure for coming late. "Everyone, listen carefully. Go drop your bags, pick everything you will be needing for the examination, no side talks , no giggles, no tapping. Finally, stand in a line and be assigned to the seat you pick from the box in front of you, understood?" The Infamous Exam supervisor addressed the first year students. Their silence made him understand they got the message right, he ushered in the subject lecturers to sit on the designated chair for them, he invited two other supervisors who handled the students accordingly. Blue and Sharon got worried for Beulah's sake since they have heard a lot about him from senior students. "What is she still doing out there? I am sure she knows what she is about to write, we are the ones who should still be out there, pacing on, trying to figure out our fate and buying time unnecessarily, don't you think?" Blue joked with Sharon. "Yeah, I guess we will see about that" Sharon picked her paper slot and went straight to find her seat without looking out for both Blue and Beulah feeling pissed. Blue knows Sharon quite well and knows she feels that way about Beulah being overly cared for when she gets everything in order no matter how late she is but she let out a smile, turned around to signal at Beulah to fall in line faster but she was still keen on searching her bag, the student behind Blue slightly gave her a tap to pick her paper slot which she did after apologizing . "Why are you still out there?" The infamous supervisor addressed Beulah who kept ransacking her bag."what are you looking for? You are making a mess of the place, student?" He trailed towards Beulah who in turn explained her situation quickly before she is not allowed into the hall "I am sorry, sir. I just figured I lost something very important but I guess now is not the time to find lost items, I'll head right in" Beulah closed her bag , walked past him, fixed her gaze on his shoulders before going into the hall. Her demeanor made the infamous supervisor shriek that he wondered what her gaze just did to him.
