I’m Ashaππ½
Chapter 1
Asha was 18 years old when she OD’d, but due to her mother’s
moneyπ΅ and power in the society, she wasn’t charged after she magically
recovered from her predicament.
She was sent to rehab and she spent 8 months there.
Ever since she was littleπΆπ½, she had always
been bullied by her mates and friends. When she came to the universityπ«,
she actually thought that it was going to be over, but things became worseπ«.
She was the only girl in her family. She had two older
brothers and a younger one.
Her dad was a pilotπ¨π½✈ and he died during
his call of duty. Her mum was a judge and was really acknowledged in the
society.
Asha walked into her previous hostel and everyone who passed
by, looked at her like she had just gotten back from the dead.
Actually, she did get back from the dead, she OD’d remember?π
She went to the porters to get the key to her new room.
“Welcome back Asha”, the porter said smilingπ.
“Thank you Mrs Oluwaπ”.
“Here is your key”, she said, handing over the key to her.
“Thanks”, she said once again and she turned around to walk
to her new room.
She was walking to her room, when a girl bumped into her.
“Are you blind?” the girl yelled at her.
The previous Asha would have said sorry or ignored this, but
no, she wasn’t going to let anyone walk on her anymore.
This was a fresh start, no more loser Ashaπ
π½.
“Excuse me?” she said to the girl.
“You deaf now, huh?” she said folding her arms and gaping at
Asha.
“Lady, why can’t you just apologise and walk away. You
bumped into me and not the other way roundπ”, Asha said.
“Watch me apologise”, she said, kicking Asha’s luggage out
of her way, luckily for Asha, she was holding a cup of coffee, so she just
spilled it on her.
That caught everyone’s attention. The girl looked at Asha
angrily and yelled. “Baba!!”
For a minute, she actually thought that it was dog or
something, till she saw the Baba that was being called.
It was Babatunde, one of the popular boys in school who she
hated so much because he always had it in for her.
She wasn’t ready for the drama, so she walked off.
As she was walking, someone ran up to her.
“Asha!!!” the female voice yelled.
Asha turned around. It was her friend Adisa.
“Hey Adisaππ”, she said, hugging her.
“Asha, I’ve missed you so much”, her friend said hugging her
tight.
“You know I always wanted to visit you, but I wasn’t allowed
to”, she said releasing the grip.
“Yeah, I know. But I’m here now”, Asha said grinningππ.
“Yeah and I’m so happy to see you. Can I help you with your
things?”
“Yeah sure, the rest are at the entrance”.
ππ½********☄
Jessica was walking back from class to the hostel, when
Babette ran up to her.
“Jessica, Asha is back”, she said smiling.
“And how’s that my business?”
“C’mon Jessica, she was your friend”.
“Yeah, ‘was’, till she decided to do drugs and try to kill
herself”.
“Are you seriously, going to judge her with that? After what
you did to her? and she even forgave you for that”.
“What? She perfectly understood. Kanye and her were sick of
each other and I decided to free them from their problems”.
“By taking Kanye from her?”
“See Babette, I’m not ready for this and you are not perfect
too, so just leave me alone. As you can see, I’m so tired. When you have
something better to say to me, you know where my room is”, she said, walking
away.
ππ½**************☄
“She’s back”, Jaheen said to Chidike, panting.
“Why are you so scared? She’s not going to say anything and
besides, no one would believe her”.
“What if she has proof”?
“Oh please. She’s not that smart to have evidence”.
“I’m really scared; this can ruin our lives for good”.
“Stop being such a girl and man up!! She’s not going to say
anything and even if she tries, we’ll take care of it”.
“No, you’ll take care of it”.
“We’re in this together, so it’s we”, Chidike said, glaring
at him.
“I hear”.
ππ½****************☄
When Asha got to her room, she couldn’t believe what she
saw. The girl who bumped into her earlier on and Babatunde were in her room.
“I hope that she is not my roommate”, she said to Adisa.
“What the heck are you doing here?” Babatunde asked.
“I should be asking you that. This is my room” she said,
glaring at him.
“She’s your freaking roommate?” the girl screamed.
Asha was really surprised when she heard that.
“A guy as my roommate? Has the world gone bonkers?” she
yelled.
“This needs to be sorted out”, the girl said and she stormed
out.
“Selorm clam down”, Babatunde said, running after her.
“I can’t believe this. How can they make a guy my roommate?”
Asha said to Adisa.
“Asha calm down, let’s go and talk to the porters. It could
be a mistake”, she said to her.
“Okay”, she said, and they placed her things down and walked
out of the room.
