Nathaniel stood up and rushed towards Semiloore as she started walking up to them. Immediately he walked up to her shielding her from everybody else.

"What's up?" He asked.

Semiloore stared up at Nathaniel and that moment everything she had been keeping inside broke their bounds as she slung her arms round him and burst into tears.

Nathaniel was taken back at first but he turned slightly further shielding her from others as he smoothened her back slowly.

"You'll be fine" he whispered as he drew circles on her back.

Semiloore knew she could only cry for a short time or else others would notice. She pulled away as used her bottle water to rinse her face before wearing the sun glasses in her bag.

Nathaniel was surprised but didn't say anything. His shirt was soaked slightly.

"You good?" John asked as she sat down.

Semiloore laughed and nodded "I am fine"

"What did you guys talk about?" Maria asked.

"Nothing,the guy is pretty cool though" Semiloore replied.

"He's older" Peter said laughing.

"I never said I liked him" Semiloore replied and few people burst into laughter.

Nathaniel passed his drink to Semiloore and she gave him a grateful smile. Soon the university students were already mingling with them and they had started making friends.

As expected two girls approached Nathaniel.

"Hi"

Nathaniel nodded his head at them.
"I'm Bolanle and this is my friend Timi" one of them said.

"Nice to meet you" Nathaniel said.

"You won't tell me your name?" Bola asked.

"Nath"

"Nice name"

They soon began chatting and Nath relaxed when he noticed that Bolanle and Timi were very cool people.

Timi was actually a quiet type;Bolanle had probably dragged her there.

"Professor Joseph... " John started.

"He was the one who took you guys around?" Bola asked.

"Yeah" Maria replied.

"Whoa!" Tomi said.

"What's the big deal in that?" Joshua asked.

"Professor Joseph is one of the hottest profs OAU has got,I mean the way that guy speaks sends shivers down my spine. He just recently got transferred here from UniLag" Bolanle repled.

"Yeah. All the classes he takes,they talk about him a lot. He has a way of bounding with his students. He's really popular" Tomi added.

"You have a crush on him?" John asked with a smal smile and Timi looked away immediately as Joshua and the others burst into laughter.

"Would you guys see our lecture room?" Bolanle asked.

There were students still in the lecture room and they stopped whatever they were doing as they walked inside.

"Guys,these are students of Oxford Colleg,Akure. They came for an excursion in our school" Bolanle introduced.

"Whoa!"

"Welcome to OAU"

"This is Nath,Christian,John, Joshua and Semiloore" Bolanle added.

"Nice to meet you guys"
