Love at first sight
The following morning lolu woke up very early in the morning to have his bath , while Jayson was still sleeping peacefully. He finished having his bath and woke Jayson up.
"Wakie , wakie!!", said lolu.
"Goodmorning", said Jayson as he stretched his body.
"Mr man we are getting late for class , go and freshen up".
"What says the time?",said Jayson
"Eight o'clock".
"Oops! , I need to get ready quickly".
Lolu put on his best trouser and a white t-shirt , the one he had bought from the Mall in Nigeria. Jayson also dressed up and they held for class.
Everyone was talking about lolu as he stepped into the lecture hall that morning , he was certainly a chick in the girls eyes he ignored everyone as he sat down quietly.
"Look! , he's so cute", students whisper.
The lecturer came into the class and everyone went silent . A young woman about thirty years of age , dark and beautiful in complexion walked in .
"Hello everyone", she stopped. "Nice to meet you all , am Mrs Cole" , I teach biology" .
She brought out her marker and wrote something on the board .
"The topic for today is metabolism", does anyone have an idea about the topic?.
The class was silent .
"Lolu you should do this", Jayson whispered to lolu .
"What! , you can also ".
"I know you can do it ".
"Butttttt!".
"No but , just go out there ".
"Okay fine I will".
"So anyone ", Mrs Cole repeated again.
"I can try ", lolu said as he stood .
"Please come forward", she handed the marker over to lolu .
Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. The three main functions of metabolism are: the conversion of the energy in food to energy available to run cellular processes; the conversion of food to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of metabolic wastes.
These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.
"So that's all about metabolism".
"You know what , you really amazed me ", " Mrs Cole said .
"Thanks ma'am".
"This was the exact definition I am waiting to hear ", but how come you prepared so well for it? , cause what you just showed here says you're ready.
"I always prepare ahead of class", said lolu.
"That sounds great , I am proud and happy to have you as my student and same as you all".
"The same here ", they all replied.
The class came to an end.
"Young man what your name?", Mrs cole said as she walk close to lolu's sit.
"Lolu Chibuike ma'am".
"And you", she pointed to Jayson.
"Jayson smith".
"Nice to meet you both , see you next class".
Immediately Mrs Cole left the class , there was a sudden burst of noise that reminded lolu of a Lagos market woman calling passerby to come by with their goods . A white lady walked up to lolu as they were about to leave the hall , two of her friends were behind her .
"Hi , I am Sylvia Thompson, the school vice counselors daughter ", she said .
Jayson and lolu looked at themselves , Jayson finally replied to her .
"So nice to meet you Sylvia , am Jayson ".
"Okay , and you lolu right" , she pointed to lolu .
"Whatever", lolu said and walked out.
"Sorry about the way he behaved", Jayson said as he walked away .
"It's fine ", the girls let go .
"He's too snobbish", one of Sylvia's friends said.
"Don't worry tiara , I will get him ", slyvia said.
"Lolu wait for me", Jayson said as he ran after lolu.
"What , should I stand there and listen to rubbish ".
"That was too rude".
"She knows my name already , so do I need further introduction".
"Okay , cheer up", said Jayson.
"Am too sick for that".
"Lolu I will meet you in the hostel. I need to go somewhere now".
"Okay , but please get food when you're coming".
