Chapter 3

I felt exhausted as I climbed up the stairs And walked towards my room. Saafa had made me accompany her to Brixton, where we had ice Cream And burgers. "You really have to know the kind of situation you stick your nose into" Taiwo said the moment I came into the room. "Are you talking to me?" I asked unsure. She was staring at me which only meant she was talking to me but I couldn't believe it. "why are you getting yourself involved with sufy?" she asked, yes she was talking to me, and calmly. "How do you know about this Taiwo?" I asked. "Because you are trending all over the school's blog and gossip magazines" She said while showing me a video of me walking away with the guy whom I found out his name is sufy. "OMG" I placed my hand over my mouth, If Tariq sees this I am roasted for sure. "Who is sufy and why am I being warned about him?" Sufy was beginning to scare me. This is the second warning I'm getting today. "Sufy is one of the most feared young men in the campus, and people believe that he is a cultist" She said. "Why don't they just Withdraw him from the university then?" I asked while seating on my bed. "Because his father Is a very prominent man in this country" she said. "And why are you warning me?" I felt curious to know why my enemy was warning me. "Because you are my roommate" she mumbled. "But you hate me, Don't you?" I rose a brow at her and she exhaled before Answering me. "I don't hate you, I am going through a rough patch" she mumbled the last statement. "oh, sorry" I muttered. "So what's your name again?" she asksd with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Heza" I mumbled. "Cute name" She smiled. Looking at her smile was a beautiful sight, Taiwo was extremely beautiful, That i couldn't deny. "Thank you" I muttered with a smile. "I'll be back tomorrow, I have a class in the Second campus Tomorrow morning. Take care of yourself" she sounded just like my mum. "Thank you, And take care too" I said to her before she smiled and walked out. I decided to read a thriller novel on Wattpad before sleep consumed me. ~*~ The Alarm of my phone jolted me right up from sleep, I checked the time on my phone and it was 5:33AM. Which meant it was time for my early morning jog. But before that, I had to pray subh which I did. After praying, I got dressed into a black sweatpants and a plain white tee-shirt. I wore my cap and placed my Earphones on my ear. And then I wore my Nike sneakers. I walked out of my room and locked it with its key and headed downstairs where I found some girls washing amd Conversing, yes it's now 5:55AM. Girls. I ignored all the people and walked outside the dorm, I jogged slowly before adding pace. I jogged towards Brixton and recalled the beautiful picture's i and Saafa took yesterday. Suddenly, I stepped On something which seemed to Had pierced Into my sneakers, the pain was unbearable so I decided to take a seat Under the shade which was next to Brixton. I pulled off my sneakers and saw blood gushing right out of my foot, I hated the sight of blood so I scrunched my face irritatingly. "you should have gotten a sport footwear and not an ordinary shoe" A male voice startled me and I raised My Head to find sufy staring at me. Just by seeing him, I could feel my heartbeat Acceleratee From fear, All the warnings which I got played in my mind making me swallow a lump. "my shoes are strong" I mumbled. "They don't seem so though" he sat next to me making me Move uncomfortably. I watched him as he removed his headband "your foot..." he said requesting for my foot. "sorry but It's Haram in my religion to allow a man who is not Your husband touch us" I said in one breath. "I know, my name is sufyan" he chuckled, his voice was so melodious, unlike yesterday when he was yelling like a lion. "You're a Muslim?" I furrowed my brows. "yes, I think..." he yawned. "you think?" I furrowed my brows at him. "yeah, take This and wrap your foot" he handed me his headband, thus he got up. "You're welcome" he said sarcasticly. "I dont..." before I could protest, he began to jog away. I sighed and wore back my shoe, I wasn't going to use his headband, I'll make sure I return it when I see him next. I decided going back to my dorm but the crowd of people gathered around the school gossip board which was in front of my hostel stopped me. Out of curiosity, I decided to go see what was taking place. "what happened?" I asked a short looking girl. "Someone was murdered last night " she said. "And are you not the girl who saved the guy from sufy?" she asked. "Farooq ?" the tears in my eyes were burning it as I spoke. "yes, farooq was slaughtered yesterday"
