My best friend is straight ( chapter 19)
Immediately chigozie got home he called Mike but Mike wasn't answering the calls... Few day after that he still called him but no response from Mike.. and he couldn't go to visit him at home because he doesn't know where Mike was living...
One month later after the session bréak...
Chigozie resumed immediately despite the result wasn't pasted for students to know their fate. About two days after resuming back to the campus.. thier results was ready and other departments also started pasting thiers too... Chigozie results was poor as usual... Just Cs and D's.. but no carryovers while Mike on the other hand was topping his department!
They are resuming into 300 level now. They will also be attending different lectures, probably few courses together..
The day the results was pasted chigozie called Mike to tell him about it but there was still no response from Mike.
About 1 week later.. the campus was already getting filled up... students are returning back to school since lectures already began.
Few days after that Mike resumed school also..
