Chapter 59
Stephanie knew Mirabel was right but she was not going to give her the chance to bask in the fact that she was right so she was going to do what she knew how to do best, so she feigned ignorance and behaved like she did not know what was wrong.
“No, I don’t know what you are talking about, hell I don’t even like any course in the sciences talkless of a computer science course” she said
“Now I know you are lying, tell me you would pass up an opportunity to be with Audrey right now, if I should tell you he was in that locker hiding, you would not run to check what is in the locker” Mirabel said and poked her because she definitely knew her best friend was lying .
“By the way, what of that man?” Stephanie asked, changing the topic.
” What man?” Mirabel asked.
She actually knew what her best friend was but two could play the game between them so she decided to feign ignorance too like she did not hear what her best friend said .
“Alright you are right, I get to see him more often and it makes me happy but I am really serious about the computer science thing, I do not like courses in that field babe”she said feigning annoyance that her best friend could think she was lying about hating computers.
She hated the fact that they had to do one compulsory elective from his department, not like she was not elated to see him during classes but the thought of always learning how to code or learning one programming language or the other stressed her out but she had to do it anyway because she needed it to improve her grades in school.
” Now you are talking my love” Mirabel teased, ” and about my man, we broke up” she said and bit her finger, that act she did alone made Stephanie know that she did something stupid to lead to the break up. ” What did you do this time” she said looking at her best friend intensely so she would not lie to her.
Mirabel was not actually a pro in the game of love, she loved and appreciated whoever fell in love with another person and she would support them in any way she could but she did not just fancy entering relationships, according to her they stressed her out.
” Well, I got tired, he was too caring and nice so I got tired of it and ended the relationship, luckily he understood so the breakup was mutual ” she said nonchalantly
” Wow, so you broke up with him because you became tired , I shake my head for you Mirabel I shake my head for you my baby, you will soon grow old and be without any man” she said teasing Mirabel.
” Well, thank you, the person in a serious relationship,” Mirabel said and snorted.
Soon after, they arrived at the University library and started their book review. They walked all around the library looking for the suitable books they could read and review it ahead of time for their class the next day.
At last they finally settled for African literature and American literature in case their lecturer decides to choose any of the two. They stayed in the library till dawn when they finally went to their various dormitories.
Immediately Stephanie got to her hostel she picked up her phone to put a call through to Audrey telling him how her day went
” Hey babe” Audrey said on the other end of the phone
” Heyyyy, how are you Love”she asked
” I am fine, my love I just got back from the library, I have a literature review class tomorrow and the last class we had I was not able to contribute to the class as my lecturer chose an African literature , I am not familiar with African literature
” Come one babe , I trust you , you are going to smash it really hard so don’t fret, you are going to nail it ” he reassured her
” Well Mirabel and I chose to review Open City by Teju Cole and The great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald, these books are marvelous I had mad fun while reading them because Mirabel kept making fun of the characters, I also enjoyed how she imitated most of them’ she explained in an excited tone.
” Wait, why are you so happy?” he asked.
” I have a literature review class tomorrow , is that not enough reason to be happy?” she said.
” I love the books you chose by the way, they are good reads” he said.
” Thank youuuuu,” she said .
” Baby girl, in as much as I love you and I would love to keep up this conversation with you, I have to hang up now, I love you” he said and hung up the call.
Morning flew by fast and she woke up to the sound of her alarm ringing , she saw the time and knew that she had woken up late so she hurriedly stood up from bed and had took her bath, she checked her closet for something comfortable she could wear to the literature review class, she had other classes of course but she was anticipating the review class the most. She enjoyed the classes so much and the lecturer tried all he could to make sure they were carried along in the class. Literature classes have always been her niche since she was in high school. By the time she was done she got a call from Mirabel who mentioned that she was waiting for her at the venue. In a blink of an eye, she dashed out of her dorm for the class, by the time she got to the venue it was filled to the brim with students who were also eager to learn about other countries’ literature. She searched all around for Mirabel and was finally able to locate her in the midst of the crowd.
Audrey who had all along felt guilty that he had not made a call to his brother since he got back to New York decided to call them to let them know that he was doing just fine and break the news of his relationship to them. He thought of calling his father first but he figured he would be busy and would not pick his call so he decided to call Sophie first. After a few rings she picked up the call.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
