The activities of the school is as boisterous as ever. Does this school ever sleep? Brenda thought as she tries finding her way in the school premises. As a new student of the well known school, she has the same challenge every other students have.
"Hey, hey", Brenda hears from afar, she stops and turned, looking up to see a lady of about a average height waving wildly and running towards her. "Hi, I am Joyce, she said panting, "I have just been given admission into this school and I don't know my way around, can you help me?" She rushed on.
Brenda looks at her smiling slowly, "apparently, we are in the same situation because I am also new here" she said smiling.
"Wow!" Joyce exclaimed, "congrats, which course were you given", she asks, "mass communication" Brenda replies shyly. "Well congrats once again, I am reading theater art" Joyce blabbered on.
"We can be friends then, can't we?" Joyce asks looking expectantly at Brenda. Panic stricken, Brenda quickly averts her gaze and tries to calm herself.
"Hello, are you okay" Joyce asks Brenda, giving her a strange look
"Oh, yes am fine" she replies faking a smile. "I asked if we could be friends?" Joyce said, "yeah, definitely, to be your friend, right, yes, we can be friends" Brenda replies her.
What is going on, Joyce asks herself, there is something fishy, abpuzzle that needs to be solved. She determines to find the missing piece of the puzzle as they hold hands and walk towards the campus.
************************
"Isn't this place beautiful?" Kate asks Amara as she looks around their hostel, "yes it is really beautiful" Amara replies her friend. They've been friends since childhood and are lucky to be in the same school and in the same hostel but different courses.
Knock! Knock!! "I'll get it" Kate said as she walks towards the door. She opens the door and her gaze fell on two beautiful faces " hi, how may I help you?" She asks. " Hi, I am joyce and here's my friend Brenda, we've been posted to this room" she chatters on. "Oh! Do come in" Kate invites them in. "Wow!" This place is beautiful" Joyce said awe struck " wow!, That's the right word for it" Kate said.
They all look at the room with astonishment, the decor and designs with the placing of the two beds made it look beautiful to behold.
"Okay, let's introduce ourselves" Kate said. "I am Kate, a student of mass communication".
I am also a student of mass communication" Brenda said smiling. They all gave her questioning gaze, "oh! I am Brenda by name", she said to shift the attention from her. Amara and Joyce also introduced themselves and they continued talking into the heart if the night.
