fresher life

I'm just a new teenage girl who just started life as a university student at Lordwill university, it's been my dream to attend the University someday and graduate with a first class degree.

Yeah I also had other intentions in mind, such as finding true love and going on dates, yeah a university girl like me haven't gone on any date since her childhood, yep I haven't had any relationship yet...

I'm completely thrilled on how far I'll go with my goals and how many things I would achieve.

It was 1:30pm when my dad dropped me at the University after we had finalized my hostel and other registration certificates.

"Hello Philomena, yes I'm here at the University, I just dropped my things at the hostel, please is the lecture still on?" (Call over the phone)

Philomena was the first person that became my friend at the University, because we applied for the same university, wrote the exams and we got accepted.

(Over the phone)

"Yes, the first class is over, but we have another one coming up, where are you, you need to be here"

"I'm coming, please where should I tell the taxi to take me to, I don't know the venue "

"Okay, just tell them HIR department "

"HIR?"

"Yes, meaning, History and international relations department"

"Oh alright thanks, I'll be there shortly bye"

"What a short form for the course, anyways I need to be there" I called out to the closest taxi I could find and told him exactly what Philomena had told me and he took me exactly where I needed to go.

I sighted a fair average teenage girl waving at me from afar as she stood under the roof of a building.

Oh my it Philomena I screamed out "Philomena I'm coming " I quickly paid the taxi driver and ran towards her, hugging her tightly as if she was someone I've missed for a very long time, and actually I was just so happy we both made it to the University and also we got the course we applied for.

But actually HIR wasn't what I wanted, what I actually wanted was law, but there have been too many delays in getting it from the other university I applied for.

She chuckled as she stared at me, giving me the same warm smile I gave her, "let go inside" I nodded as she held my hand and led me to our class.

"So what class are we having now?" I asked as I stared at the whole class, I was so thrilled to see students, some were still coming into the class, some girls I saw were dressed like a movie star, that clearly showed me they came from a rich family.

While some other girls and boys weren't well dressed, there were many differences in our mood of dressing.

"So when exactly did you resume?" phino's words echoed in my ears as my attention left the observing part of me.

"Today actually"

"Okay"

"But the registration process here is so annoying, it took my dad and I day's to get it done"

"It's usually like that for freshers like us"

Exhaling softly I shaked my head in irritation as I smiled at her.

(In the hostel)

Now the occupants of my room would be around, last time I checked they weren't so I had to go to class.

Walking into the room, I saw two ladies, the room was made up of two buck stands at the right and left, two down bucks were taken so I had to take the up bunk by the right.

"Welcome" they both said as they gave happy faces at me, well I was sure they were nice people from their warm welcome.

"Which department?" One asked

"HIR, history and international relations, what about you two?"

"Chemistry" both said

"Oh you both are coursemates?" I asked as I arranged my stuff where they should be.

"Yes we are, what's your name, my name is Lucy" the fair one replied as she sat on her bed by the left staring at me as I arranged my stuff.

"I'm Katherine" I responded.

"I'm Mira" the other said

"Okay, nice to me you both" I said as I stood up, to ask them a question "

"Please where can a ring light, cause I so much love taking pictures?"

"It's far , you would have to buy from the man outside the hostel, I think he also sells quality ring lights'' mira said as she stood up to get a battle of water to drink.

"Oh okay thanks".

I was completely through with my work now, now I just have to rest my head.

"Have you eaten?" Lucy asked as she stared at me sitting tirelessly on the bed.

"Not yet, I'll cook later"

"Oh okay"

"You can come and join me to take golden more Katherine," Mira said.

"It's alright, thanks I'll eat later" I said as I plugged in my earphones to watch movies on YouTube.

Later that day I went downstairs to get fast food to eat.

--------

At 10pm at night, we heard footsteps of someone running round the hostel floor, gosh that was terrifying at the time of the night and earlier before Lucy talked about weird and scary things happening in this hostel at night.

"Sorry are you guys hearing footsteps?" I asked calmly as I laid on my bed, making sure I didn't make any body movements or much sounds with my voice. I was staying close to an opened window, I dared not to look out.

"Yeah, I can hear it," Lucy said.

"Mira, what about you or are you sleeping?" Lucy and I waited patiently for Mira to answer but she didn't, only to find out after a few minutes that she was on earphones.

I jumped down from my bunk and laid close to a Mira on her bed. She quickly removed her earphones to ask what I was doing on her bed.

"Lucy and I heard something"

"Come let's go check it out" Lucy said as she opened the door, I stood in front while Lucy stood at my back, looking around while I looked straight forward as if I wasn't afraid but inwardly I was completely terrified.

As we got closer to a dark walkway, we heard someone scream, immediately Lucy took off, leaving me, and I also couldn't wait for anything to surface so I followed her, we ran into the room, looking so afraid, while Mira closed the door.

That night we couldn't sleep separately so we all slept on Mira's bed till morning.
