THE FUTURE UNFOLDS 2

Weeks had passed since the friends had seen their JAMB results, and they were all hopeful that they had secured a spot at their respective universities. But as they waited anxiously for the admission lists, they decided to take a break and plan a Christmas get-together.

The idea was met with excitement and enthusiasm from all four friends. They started making plans, contributing money, and scheduling the event. After much deliberation, they decided to hold the get-together at a nearby beach, a perfect spot to relax and have fun.

Permissions were sought and obtained from their parents, and the date was set. As Christmas approached, the friends couldn't wait to let loose and enjoy each other's company.

Finally, the day arrived, and the friends gathered at the beach, eager to start their Christmas celebration. The sun was shining bright, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore created a soothing melody.

Iyiola and Enoch were inseparable, walking hand in hand along the beach, enjoying the romantic atmosphere. They had grown closer since their misunderstanding, and their love for each other was evident in the way they looked at each other.

As they strolled along the beach, they came across a beautiful spot with a stunning view of the ocean. Enoch turned to Iyiola, his eyes filled with love and adoration. "I'm so grateful to have you in my life," he said, taking her hand in his.

Iyiola's heart melted at his words, and she smiled, feeling happy and content. "I'm grateful too," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

They stood there for a moment, taking in the beauty of their surroundings, and the love that they shared. It was a romantic moment, one that they would cherish forever.

Meanwhile, Amaka had brought her new boyfriend, Tunde, to the get-together. They were sitting under a beach umbrella, enjoying each other's company, and getting to know each other better.

Tunde was a charming and handsome young man, and Amaka was clearly smitten. They laughed and chatted, sharing stories and jokes, and having a great time.

Chris, on the other hand, was in his element, surrounded by girls who were flirting with him shamelessly. He was swimming in the ocean, playing games with the girls, and having the time of his life.

The girls were vying for his attention, and Chris was lapping up the attention, enjoying every minute of it. He was carefree and happy, living in the moment, and not worrying about anything.

As the day wore on, the friends decided to have a picnic lunch on the beach. They sat down on a blanket, surrounded by food, drinks, and good company.

The atmosphere was lively and festive, with music playing in the background, and the sound of laughter and chatter filling the air. They ate, drank, and made merry, enjoying each other's company, and the beauty of their surroundings.

As they sat there, watching the sunset over the ocean, Iyiola turned to her friends, and said, "This has been the best Christmas get-together ever. I'm so grateful to have all of you in my life."

Enoch nodded in agreement, putting his arm around Iyiola. "Me too," he said. "This has been an unforgettable day, and I'm so happy to have shared it with all of you."

Amaka and Tunde smiled at each other, holding hands, and looking happy and content. Chris, who was sitting on the other side of the blanket, grinned, and said, "Let's do it again next year. Same time, same place."

The friends cheered, and raised their glasses in a toast. "To many more adventures together," Iyiola said, smiling at her friends.

As they clinked their glasses together, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the ocean. It was a magical moment, one that they would always treasure, and remember as a special day in their lives.

The sun had just risen over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city. Chris was already up and about, enjoying the quiet morning hours in his room. He had just finished bathing and was now lounging on his bed, scrolling through his Facebook feed.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock as he saw a notification from a group admin: "OAU RELEASES MERIT ADMISSION LIST." Chris's heart skipped a beat as he quickly minimized Facebook and opened Chrome on his phone. He navigated to his school portal, his hands shaking with anticipation.

As he logged in, he held his breath, waiting for the page to load. And then, he saw it: "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED ADMISSION TO STUDY PHYSICS; 4 YEARS - OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY."

Chris let out a loud whoop of excitement, jumping up from his bed. His parents and sister rushed into his room, concerned by the sudden outburst. "I've been admitted!" Chris exclaimed, beaming with joy.

His family erupted into cheers and hugs, congratulating Chris on his admission. His mother was tearful, while his father beamed with pride. Chris's sister, who was still in secondary school, looked up to her brother with admiration.

As the celebration died down, Chris picked up his phone to inform his friends. He dialed Enoch's number, and his friend answered on the first ring.

"Wake up, dummy! Go check your school portal!" Chris exclaimed.

Enoch was shocked into wakefulness, quickly grabbing his phone to access his school portal. He waited anxiously for the page to load, and then, he saw it: "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED ADMISSION TO STUDY MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING; 5 YEARS - OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY."

Enoch let out a loud shout of excitement, pumping his fist in the air. He quickly ran downstairs to inform his parents, who were overjoyed by the news. His mother jumped with joy, thanking God, while his father beamed with pride.

As Enoch was about to call Iyiola to inform her, her call buzzed in on his phone. "Chris told me to check my portal, and I did!" she exclaimed. "I've been admitted to study Biomedical Engineering at OAU!"

Enoch congratulated Iyiola, thrilled that they would all be attending the same university. He couldn't wait to start this new chapter of their lives together.

Meanwhile, Amaka was busy watching a movie with her mother when Chris's call buzzed in. She picked up the call, and Chris informed her about the admission list. Amaka's anxiety spiked as she quickly went to access her school portal.

As she logged in, she waited anxiously for the page to load. And then, she saw it: "YOU'VE BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM YOUR INITIAL COURSE TO PHARMACY - OAU."

Amaka's expression changed as she showed her mother the result. Her mother, who was expecting good news, looked concerned. "What does this mean?" she asked.

Amaka shrugged, feeling uncertain. "I don't know, Mum. I applied for MEDICINE AND SURGERY, but they've transferred me to Pharmacy."

Her mother thought for a moment before speaking. "Well, Pharmacy is a good course too. And OAU is a great university. Maybe this is an opportunity for you to explore a new field."

Amaka thought about her mother's words, weighing her options. She didn't want to write another JAMB, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to study Pharmacy either. After much deliberation, she decided to accept the offer, hoping that she would find her passion in Pharmacy.

As the day went on, the four friends continued to celebrate their admission into OAU. They made plans to meet up soon, eager to start this new chapter of their lives together. Little did they know, university life would bring its own set of challenges and adventures, but they were ready to face them head-on, together.

As the Christmas celebrations came to an end, the four friends began to focus on their preparations for resuming at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in the coming year. They were all excited to start this new chapter of their lives, but they knew that they had to be well-prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead.

Chris was the first to start making preparations. He began by making a list of all the things he needed to buy, from textbooks to bedding. He then started shopping for these items, making sure to get everything he needed before the resumption date.

Enoch, on the other hand, was more focused on getting his documents in order. He made sure that all his admission documents, including his JAMB result and OAU admission letter, were complete and ready. He also started making arrangements for his accommodation, booking a room in one of the university's hostels.

Iyiola was busy preparing herself academically. She started reading ahead, going through her textbooks and notes to get a head start on her studies. She also started making plans for her research project, which she knew would be a major part of her coursework.

Amaka, who had initially been hesitant about studying Pharmacy, was now fully committed to her course. She started reading up on her course materials, trying to get a better understanding of what to expect. She also started making plans for her practicals, knowing that hands-on experience would be crucial in her field.

As the resumption date drew closer, the four friends started to get more and more excited. They would often meet up to discuss their preparations, sharing tips and advice on how to navigate university life.

As the days turned into weeks, the four friends continued to prepare themselves for university life. They knew that it wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to succeed. And with their combined stren

gth and support, they knew that they could overcome any obstacle that came their way.
