Unexpected II

Femi

I reluctantly took my shower in preparations of meeting up with Asher, seeing as it was already 6:30 pm I called Asher to confirm where we would meet up and what to bring to the camp site.

"Hello" Asher as soon as he picked the call.

"Where are you asher, it is already 5:30 pm are we still going to the camp site" I wish Asher will just change his because I really want to stay home and sleep or probably binge watch movies.

"Yes Prof am already on my way to you right now"

"I could take the bus or

order Uber to the bus" I should probably order Uber because I don't think the bus will be going that way.

"Prof the bus doesn't drive all the way to the camp site and it's going to cost a fortune if you want to order Uber plus am already close to your street" I don't think I bother my student to give me a ride.

"But still"

"No buts Prof I will text you when I get to the front of your house" I guess we are taking his car.

"Okay Asher"

"Alright Prof I will see you when I see you"

I decided to do some cleaning while waiting for Asher because my house is looking unkept and I haven't really have the time to clean it up. I started from my bedroom all the way to toilet I can't believe that I live here I know that because of the state of the house no matter much I clean it, it's still going to look dirty but right now it looks, feel and is dirty. I can't wait to live this place but this what my money can afford in this shitty part of town.

Just as I was about finishing the toilet I got a text from Asher saying that he was already outside so I quickly finished my cleaning packed my things I will be needing for the camp like snacks but most importantly mosquito repellent because I hate bugs and mosquito. I made sure I locked my doors and closed my windows. I hope I have a great time on this trip.

As soon as I got into the car Asher immediately asked me a million and one question as if he was in charge of me so I have remind " Asher what are you doing" I asked him.

"What am I doing prof"

"Why are you asking me all this question"

"What question Prof" oh this little boy thinks he is smart.

"You think you are smart right, well since you are acting like you don't understand let me break it down for you " oh this boy he is trying to act clueless "stop acting like you are in charge of this trip I know you might have been the one that told me about the trip and even planned the trip but you are my student and I am your professor and plus I am older than you"

"Prof I am not trying to boss you around am just concerned about you since I am the one forcing you to leave your house"

"Okay you better remember that" I warned him cause I don't want my student bossing me around " let's go now"

"Alright Prof buckle up"

Asher has been driving for over forty five minutes now and we still haven't reach our destination yet I feel we are lost but Asher refuse to admit it, usually from my house to the camp site takes about fifteen minutes if you are using a car while it takes thirty minutes on the bus.

"Are we lost " I have to ask him because I feel like we have passed the same sign post for the third time.

"I don't think so Prof"

"Asher please tell me you know where we are going I don't like the tone of your voice" Lord please help me.

"Chill Prof I know where we are going"

"Chill what, I can't be chill oh my God what am going to tell my people" I can't believe am going to die because of a fucking story.

"Dramatic much we are going to get there safe and sound"

"This is how horror movies start first we get lost then we will see a strange woman or child on the way looking for a ride then the next thing we will know baam we are being tortured after they are done with us they are going to kill us" I know what am talking about Asher might think am being dramatic but it always start like this and it always end badly for the black person because the killer is always some weirdo or racist son of a bitch.

"What have you been watching oh my gosh" he says laughing.

"Am serious, we have to go back I can't die I haven't said good bye to my family"

"First of all death doesn't work like that it always happens when you least expect it to happen" I can't believe this nigga am telling about how we are in danger and we need to escape but this motherfucker is preaching to me how death work "secondly we have reached our destination I told you I will get us here safely"

" Where is everybody, we in the middle of nowhere how is this safe"

"Patience Prof come on let's go"

" Where are we going, I am not going anywhere"

"You have to get down from the car so we can begin our journey to the camp site"

"I know that Asher let's go" I can't wait to explore this forest.
