CITY LIFE 2

Something funny happens.The lady in their as usual says,
"Ground floor...Door open."
I feel I have had enough of those and so I decide to follow those who were going out.
Just then I realize I am back at the same spot I was.
Even more disgusting or may be shaming,I notice the same guy telling me what that thing was still staring at me.
He walks towards me and introduces himself.
"Hey,I'm Peter...Pater Mwangi."
Okay,now my pride has been cut.It was short lived for I had to be sweet to this guy.He was the only one noticing the trouble I was going through.
"Hey,I'm Tanisa.Tanisa Livingstone."
Heard of when you go to Rome you do and say as them? I was keeping that rule :-)
So you are new?
Yes
I suppose you've been looking for the rest of your group?
I actually don know anyone by now,but could you please help me know  what the procedure is around here?
Okay,all you need to do is go up the sixth floor,with all the things written in your admission letter and that's it.
I notice a wave of pride in him because now I was playing to his game I suppose as he had wanted before,so I shrug force a smile for him and for the first time in a very long period of time say thank you and start walking again.
Headed to where the lift was,I was thinking why did he not take me up there?
I don't know how to get there by myself...!
So I breast up and get in the lift.This time,I am alone in this small house without Windows.
I take close look at everything in it and I notice buttons written on numbers.
Did he say sixth floor? Nice. I'm excited now. I press six and relax.
"Easy baby we riding to the sixth floor." I say to myself and smile.
The door opens and I come to a halt outside a huge hall with so many people in it.
I'm shocked to see such a huge number of people. I never want to be close to such.It makes me shy and nervous and walking becomes almost impossible.
A shift to my left and this same guy appears again.Smiling and walking towards me.
"Goodheavens!"
I gasp.Why does he keep on following me? He comes to me doing a close scrutiny smiling in disguise. Well at least that was what I felt it was.
So you finally made it?
Feeling shy,I say yes and shift my gaze to the room filled with people.He notices helplessness written all over my visage.
Come,let me show you where to start.
I breath in and out with a huge sigh. I mean someone I barely know,a total stranger reading me so easy and so fast? That ain't good for me.
I think on. As soon as he shows me the basics,I will make sure he doesn't see me again.I smirk.
So there I go,I am motioned to a queue and after  a long wait of thirty minutes,I get done with the admission process. I pick up the campus handbook,and asked to go copy a timetable for my classes.
Headed to the notice board and I get stranded again. I can't make out what those codes mean. I don even know any of them.
I stand helplessly for about five minutes and guess who appears...
My guy :-)
He apparently has  been watching me dive in stupor all along and I can tell he has been enjoying everything and that makes me very angry.
Why is he doing this?
The time table is written in codes Tanisa.This one,BMC is an initial meaning BARCHELOR OF ARTS IN MASS COMMUNICATION.
What you do is copy all the units in that initial with correct time and day for your classes. Otherwise you will be missing classes and graduation won't come for you.
I feel lost and all alone now.I start missing my mom and dad or may be my sister.I wish they had brought me here on the first day. I wouldn't be feeling this lost and weary.
By the time I was coming around,he had already copied the timetable for me.
Oooh what a guy? I think.I say thank you.Yes this time,it is real,from the heart.And I learn,the first lesson at the campus,that "Arrogance is a game for the fool."

CITY LIFE 3

The classes will be starting monday,I learn. So I take the opportunity to learn about the campus basics to be in the know. Just as I was leaving the noisy hall,a lady holds my hand and when I turn to see who it was,I stare at a fairly tall beautiful lady. Hi, Hi I'm Everlyne I'm Tanisa I saw you copy the same timetable as mine. I think we are going to be classmates... Wow,that would be nice. We exchange contacts for updates about classes.You know how it feels when you make your first girlfriend at campus and you feel this one is just your type? Peter,helps us walk around,showing us lecture halls,washrooms,offices and where to find a bite in case of hunger pains.That is all we needed to know at the moment.And we were good to go.Good to go without Peter Mwangi.How I wish he was handsome enough though,may be,just may be,I would have liked him.....Hahaha. Evelyn and I stroll in town,familiarizing ourselves with the streets and buildings in this town.You know getting lost...

Young Stress Part 3

Image
I woke up the following morning rather confused and so lost.I woke up beside my sister who was wide awake just staring blankly in the ceiling just waiting for me to wake up. When she notices I am also awake she lifts me up and leads me to the kitchen,where granny was still sitted beside the three stones,smoke coming out from the fireplace and covering the entire kitchen. Sipping her tea,she notices our faint footsteps towards her.She looks back and smiles at us. "Come here my children.." She motions us to a three legged stool and since we are tiny,we squeeze to fit on it looking at her with those kind of hungry eyes. Okay you know at the countryside;well. At least those days  we never had anything like brushing our teeth.Grandpa though would cut a stem from a cypress tree,chew the tip and give it to you for tooth brushing.Don laugh,I still see people do this even this  elite times. Grandmother,is kind enough to give us a cup of tea and some arrow roots. Well,they tasted ...

VILLAGE CRACKS

As we walked under the scotching ⛅ sun, Laura couldn’t stop picking out different leaves, talking of their medicinal value, some dangerous, some food for snakes, others best hide outs for chameleon and so on and so on. Couldn’t quite understand how she knew all that, I mean at her age? Okay, another surprise for this village queens. They tell you something and you left pondering about it for a decade until you sit down with your granny to decipher it😂😂😂. We came through a bushy path, down into the middle of the village and further down to a huge stream that took me by surprise. It’s so big😓😓😓😟 I thought. Almost looks like the Nile, well in such a village okay…. My thoughts were interrupted by her strong grip ushering me to a bank of the river. Grass was actually to the level of my knees and this wasn’t going well with me. What if snakes🐍🐍🐍🐍 we’re cra...
