Chapter 9: A New Message

---

Eight.

But after I wait half day, she no gree accept.

Every notification, my heart dey race. But na just group chat dey disturb.

I just weak. She still dey vex, no wan accept me.

My spirit low. Even the beans for canteen no get taste.

My mood spoil, I just dey dull all morning. After class for afternoon, message land for my phone:

'The person don accept your friend request.'

The way I jump for my chair, Musa fear. 'Guy, wetin happen?'

Senior.

I no waste time. My fingers dey shake as I open chat.

I jump up, rush send first message:

'Senior, long time no see.'

My mind dey heavy. I dey wait reply, dey pray make she no still dey vex.

'...'

The dots dey roll. I dey hold breath, ready for anything. The next message fit change everything. My heart dey race. If she reply, my whole story fit change.
