When I got admission into the university, I met and made lots of friends in my department, I felt we were going to have a lifetime relationship. Well, as I write this am not sure am on speaking terms with any of them, except the ones that are not married, even those ones I don't even know the last time I saw them or even talked to them.
There was this girl in my class her name was Lucy, she was a high flying chic. "Breakfast in Lagos, lunch in Kano, dinner in Port Harcourt." What baffled me the most was when she could conveniently travel on the day of an important exams. When the results are pasted, Lucy definitely has an A, really didn't know how she handled that part.
Lucy, Mabel and a couple of girls, rolled together, lived together and most times they went for their escapades together. Now Lucy was a very lively and exciting girl, she was fun to hang around with. There was never a dull moment around her.
In the course of staying together, Lucy met Mabel's cousin, David and they started dating. This did not go down well with Mabel. I mean it hell was let loose, enough mud slinging, stories here and there. It was not funny at all. Due to the issues, Lucy got her own crib and still dated David.
Now the high flying chic stopped flying, David went through her phone and made sure every number on the phone was either a chic or her classmate. Every weekend Lucy will pack her things to the guy's village, which was a couple of hours from school. All form of social activities seized, it was now village maps.(power of love)
Funny enough the enmity between Lucy and Mabel escalated, we were in our third year and they never exchanged one word of greeting. The beef was still in on.
One morning, we came to school and after a couple of hours, we got a phone call that Lucy slept and did not wake up. Her door was broken down and she was rushed to the hospital. That was the first time in my life I saw a paralysis case. Lucy's body, one part was paralyzed, her lips drooped to one side, she could not lift one hand, it was such a terrible sight. More news flew, Mabel and her family were tagged as the wind abi witches. Well Lucy lost a session, by the time she came back, we were done with school and preparing to leave for the compulsory youth service.
Lucy never regained her exciting attitude towards life, the sparkles had gone out of her eyes. To crown it all almighty David had impregnated a girl from his place, while Lucy was on the sick bed, he went ahead to marry his baby mama. It was definitely a long road to recovery for her.
Well, Mabel and her crew, had won that very battle, Lucy was out of the way.
Lucy finally left for service in one of the eastern states, we were all happy for her. One sunday morning, I received a phone call, that Lucy went to fetch water, she slumped and died. I felt so terrible.
# I learnt a lesson, never date ur besties sibling, except, he or she hooks the both of you up#
This is a true life story.
