CAMPUS CRUSH

" EDITED "

ANJOLA'S POV

I sighed in excitement as I locked my room door and picked up my new Infinix S5. My dad just bought it for me yesterday,why? I was resuming to university in less than 48 hours.

I grabbed my MP3 player and quickly connected it to my phone's Bluetooth. There was an increase in the surge of excitement as "Money" by Cardi B filled the room,if not the whole house. I didn't waste a minute before I swirled around and start dancing.

"Does she have to play music that loud in the early hours of the afternoon?" James whined as his mom laughed.

"Stop complaining,for the next three months and if not more,no sound or music will be coming from that room" Sarah his elder sister chided laughing softly.

James just rolled his eyes in reply.
"And besides you know she does that when she's either nervous or excited....." Sarah started.

"Or angry or has something on her mind" James finished for Sarah whose mouth dropped open.

"Okay. You know it" she said in defeat.

"She's also my elder sister you know" James added.

"Stop it already,James don't tell me you won't miss your sister?" His mom asked

James hufef before replying "Miss kor? miss ni" he replied and got up from the sofa and walked upstairs.

Mrs Oladele shook her head for a while as she let the music in the house flow through her ears. Normally she would have yelled for her daughter to reduce the volume or turn it off but now,  she won't be hearing any of that in the next three months. Her favourite daughter was leaving the house.

She still couldn't believe that instead of Anjola to choose universities like University of Ilorin, University of Ibadan or Obafemi Awolowo University or maybe the university here, University of Lagos where despite these schools had very high standards,she would have gotten in without any stress or difficulty. She had chose Federal University of Technology Akure.

Although it was the best technology school in Nigeria;she still couldn't understand why she chose it,although her favourite cousin attended the school. It didn't come as a surprise when her name appeared on the merit list and was given admission.

Computer science.

What she had chosen,that was exactly what they gave her and soon she would be resuming to her new school.

A lot of things bothered Mrs Oladele as she sat down in the living room watching African Magic. She wasn't worried about her joining bad gangs in the school,she wasn't worried about her being in a cult,she wasn't worried about what worried most mothers whenever any of their children was entering University. What was worrying her was if Anjola would start to interact with her peers at school.

She was extremely reserved, an introvert and was eerily quiet. She had very few friends. Although she had a crazy side to her,a side only her best friends and her family knew but unfortunately both best friends had chosen UI and had also gotten in.

"Anjolaoluwami.." Mrs Oladele whispered to the empty living room.

I glanced at the wall clock and stretched my hand to turn off the music. I smiled wryily as opened the door to my bathroom to splash water on my face.

Two hours and ten minutes,I was dancing. I cringed and laughed softly as I splashed water on my face.

My phone rang almost immediately as I stepper out of the bathroom.
