I’m Ashaππ½☄
Chapter 2
When Asha and Adisa got to the porter’s office, they met
Babatunde and Selorm there.
“This can’t be possible madam, I thought you said no one was
going to be in the room with me, I paid for the extra bed”, Babatunde yelled.
“That was illegal and the porter who helped you with that
has been sacked. You were going to be sacked too, but your parents pleaded with
the management and that bed is the last bed left in the hostel, so it’s either
you leave or you stay there with her”, she said bluntly.
“This can’t be happening”, Selorm said and they both stormed
out.
“Excuse me”, Asha said
“Is this right, for people of different sexes to be placed
in the same room? Asha asked.
“Your father was okay with that”, she said to Asha.
“My father? He is dead”, she yelled.
“I don’t know but whoever applied for the hostel agreed with
that”.
“Is his name Sylvester?” she asked.
“Yeah that’s him”
“He’s not my dad. That’s my mom’s boyfriend! ”
“Is my mom even okay with this?”
“I’m not sure, but if you have any problem with this
arrangement, I suggest you see management”.
“Are they in?” Adisa asked.
“It’s already 5:25, they close at 6…I doubt they’d be
there”.
“And tomorrow? Asha asked.
“They don’t open on weekends”.
“Wow, that’s great. So I get to sleep in a room with a
random guy?” she said shaking her head. And then she pulled Adisa and they both
left.
“You can sleep in my room till Monday”, Adisa suggested.
“Thank you Adisa”, she said smiling.
They both went back to the room and Babatunde and Selorm
were not there.
Asha didn’t want to unpack, so she just placed her luggages
in a corner, took some necessary stuff and went with Adisa to her room.

Jessica was trying to sleep when Kanye walked into her room.
“Hey baby”, she said, sitting up.
“Learn to knock”, her roommate Shade, said to him.
“I think you need to work on your hearing abilities”, he
said to her. “Jess you heard me knock, right?”
“He did knock”, Jessica said to her roommate.
She rolled her eyes and continued with the book she was
reading.
Kanye sat by Jessica and placed his arms around her.
“You know Asha is back right?” he said to Jessica.
“Why is everyone talking about her?” she said frowning.
“Well she came to my room”.
“For what?” Jessica asked in fury.
“She just said hi and that she missed me a lot and was
hoping that we could hang out”
“She’s really crazy! You said no right?”
“Not really, I said cool and you know I definitely wouldn’t
hang out with her”
“You should have shut her up. She is sick, she just returned
and she is already pissing me off”.
“I thought you were friends with her.”
“Friends? “Hell no! I can’t be friends with someone who is
that weak. She is so stupid for trying to kill herself. To me, I think she was
trying to get everyone’s attention and now she has it”π
“Mmm will you be coming to my game tonight?” he asked
changing the subject.
“Of course. I can’t miss it for anything”.
“That’s good, I’ll see you after the match then, I need to
go for practice”.
“Alright”, she said, kissing him and he elft.

Asha was catching up with Adisa in her room when she
received a phone call.
“Excuse me”, she said and stepped aside to receive her call.
“Hello”, she said.
“Asha!!” the person yelled.
“Who’s this?” she asked.
“Forgotten me so soon?” the male voice said in a cocky tone.
“Nene!!!” she screamed.
“That’s me, baby”, he said.
“Oh my God, I’ve missed you so much and everyone there. How
are you all doing?” she asked.
“We’re all good. Amaka left today”, he said.
“Aww, I bet you’re going to miss her so much”.
“Yeah, I will”.
“Don’t worry; you’ll get out soon and re-unite with her”.
“Yeah, I guess so. So
how’s everything? Are you back in school?”
“Yeah, I am. And you won’t believe it, my roommate is a
guy”.
“A guy? Is that even possible?”
“I’m surprised myself”.
“Hmm, have you spoken to the authorities?”
“They’ve closed. I will have to wait till Monday”.
“Mmmm, that sucks. How’s the guy like?”
“It’s that jerk Babatunde”.
“Hmm, I hope he’s not giving you any trouble”.
“I wish he would and I’ll give him 10,000 folds”.
“That’s my girl, but you have to be careful”.
“Don’t worry, I can protect myself. I’ve got a gun now”, she
said smiling.
“Hmm, have you seen the teacher who failed you because you
refused to sleep with him?”
“Not yet, but when I do, he’ll be really sorry. He’s the
first on my list”.
“Okay, if you need any help. I’ll always be here. You can
call me on this line. I sneaked a phone in”.
“Don’t worry, I got this. The training we had won’t go in
vain”.
“Okay, get all those monsters. And remember, don’t kill
anyone unless it’s in self-defence”.
“I won’t”.
“Alright, I have to go; I’ll call you before sleeping,
okay?”
“Okay”.
“Bye baby Ash”.
“Bye Nene”, she said and she waited for him to hang up.
That was her best friend Nene. They both became best friends
when he came to the rehab facility. She told him about everything she had been
through in life and he helped her build up her self-confidence and he taught
her self-defence skills and taught her how to operate a gun, when she gets one.
Asha got back to Adisa and they kept on talking.

Babatunde and Selorm were trying to hide the drugs they had
in the room, but they were stopped in their tracks when Asha walked in.
