Juggled Glory (The Story of Aba) by Lewis Dampson



Season 1, Episode 1
The  first  day  at  the  university was
very breath-taking  for  Aba.  This  is
the  first  time  Aba  had  been to  such  an  environment.  An  environment  completely  different  from  what  she  was  used  to  back in  Senior  High  School.

She  looked  at  the  beautifully arrayed  street  lights  that  illuminated  the campus.  She  also  noticed  the  avenue  trees  that  were  used  to  demarcate  the  roads.  The  asphalt road  was  also  beautiful.  This  was  the  first  time  Aba  had  seen  an  asphalt  road. The  majestic buildings  that  were  erected  on  the  campus  was  very wonderful. The  place  really looked organized  and  magnificent.

Aba  stood  5.7  feet  tall  and  had  a  sculptured  figure. Her  waist  was  tapered  and  had  chocolate complexion.  A  pair  of  arched  eyebrows  looked  down  on  sweeping  eyelashes.  Her  large  white eyes  with  a  deep-set  chocolate  brown  penetrating  pupils  made  her  eyes  very sexy. Her  delicate ears  framed a  button  nose.  A  set  of  dazzling  white  teeth  gleamed  as  she  smiled  admiring  the scenery of  the  school.  The  dimples  that  were  pressed  under  Aba’s  high  cheek bones made  her smile  more  captivating.  Her  black  hair  flowed  over  her  shoulders  as  she  walked  gracefully  along the  streets  of the  campus.

When Aba got to her  room,  her  roommates  had  already reported. Apparently,  they  were  all level  100’s.   Erica,  Abigail  and  Stella  were  the  roommates  of  Aba.  Since  they  were  all  at  the same  level,  bonding  with  each  other  became  very easy.  Within  a  short  time,  they  knew a  lot about  each  other.

 Aba  had  never  been  in  a  relationship  before  unlike  her  roommates  who  were  dating  even though  they  were  freshmen. The  roomies  were  surprised  to  learn  that  Aba  was  single considering  how beautiful  she  was.

 Aba’s  first  day at  the  history class was  intriguing.  She  saw  lots  of  people  in  her  class.  She  had never  been  to  a  class so  full  of  people.  Unknown  to  Aba,  a  secret  admirer  had  spotted  her.  Her beauty gave  her  away. She  caught  the  attention  of  almost  all  the  males  in  her  class.  They  simply couldn’t  take  their  eyes  of  her. Bernard  was  this  secret  admirer. He  spotted  Aba  the  first  instance  she  entered  the  class.

Bernard  immediately  lost  concentration  in  class.  He  could  no  longer  concentrate  on the lectures.  All  his  gaze  and  attention  was  on  this  gorgeous  figure  that  had  appeared  in  front  of him.  Throughout  the  lecture,  he  was  seriously  thinking  of  how to  approach  this  beautiful  lady that  had  taken  his  breath  away.  

Bernard  was  impatient  for  the  lecture  to  end.  All  he  wanted  was  to  be  done  with  the  class and approach  this  beautiful  lady.  He  wanted  to  ask  for  her  name,  phone  number  and  possibly  her room  number.

Bernard’s  prayer  was  answered. The  professor  brought  the  class to  an  end  since  it  was  just  an introductory class. Bernard  was  very excited. At  last  he  could  talk  to  this  nice  looking  lady.  He  fixed  his  gaze  on  her in  order  not  to  lose  sight  of  her  in  the  rushing  crowd. He  moved  swiftly  through  the  crowd  to get  to  Aba  as  fast  as  possible.  He  was  just  close  enough  to  reach  Aba  when  he  realized  that  the lady had  stopped.

 She  was  talking  to  someone. “Who could  this  person  be,”  Bernard  thought.  “Who  is  this  enemy  of  progress?  Damn!  I was  so close  to  talking  to  her,”  he  lamented  within. He  went  closer  to  see  who  had  foiled  his  mission.  Upon  coming  closer,  he  realized  that  Aba  was talking  to  the  lecturer.

 “Really!!!  This  man  too!  “The  small  things  wey  we  small  boys  go  enjoy too  he  dey  want  enjoy  plus  we”. Hmm,  I will wait  for  her  outside  the  lecture  hall.  I  believe  she will  pass  by.”  He  finally decided Bernard  waited  for  more  than  thirty minutes,  but  there  was  no  sign  of Aba.  He  later  got  bored and  left  to  his  hall.  He  was  really  disappointed.

 Throughout  the  night,  he  couldn’t  take  his  mind  of  this  pretty girl  he  saw  in  his  class.  He thought  about  the  dimples  that  showed  when  she  smiled.  This  thought  went  on in  cycles  that sleep  was  eroded  from  his  eyes. He  was  now more  eager  to  speak  to  this  lady that  had  captivated  him  so  much. The  two  days  of waiting  for  the  history class  was  to  him  like  years. He  just  couldn’t  wait  to  catch  another glimpse  of  Aba.

Now, back  at  Aba’s  room,  she  was  finding  difficulty comprehending  with  what  the  lecturer taught  that  day.  She  was  up  all  night  trying  to  understand.  That  was  the  main  reason  she  went to  see  the  lecturer  after  class.  The  lecturer  was  very considerate  and  explained  the  same  thing to  her  for  more  than  thirty minutes,  but  she  still  didn’t  get  it. “Oh  God,  what  am  I  going  to  do  now?”  she  asked  herself.  “My  first  day  in  class and  I am  already lost,”  she  said.

 Bernard  intentionally  took  strolls  around  the  campus  the  next  day just  to  bump  into  his  crush by accident. Poor  Ben!  That  never  happened. He  walked  till  his  toes  were  hurting  but  his  search didn’t  yield  any results.  He  had  no  other  choice  than  to  wait  for  the  next  class.

 Bernard  was  full  of  anticipation  on  that  day,  he  couldn’t  just  wait  for  the  lecture  time  to  be  due. Unlike  him,  he  got  prepared  very  early.  He  made  sure  he  wore  his  best  attire  and  tried  as  much as  possible  to  look  good.  He  was  very conscious  of his  first  appearance.

 Bernard  arrived  at  the  lecture  hall  very early,  he  was  hoping  to  have  a  chat  with  his  crush before  the  class starts.  He  was  very disappointed  when  he  realized  that  he  was  the  only  one present. He  waited  for  additional  forty-five  minutes,  but  still  no  sign  of  the  lady.  The  class was almost  in  session  and  everyone  was  seated  except  for  his  crush. She  had  still  not  come.

Had  his  crush  Aba  dropped  the  class?  Was  he  ever  going  to  see  her  again?  Those  where  the thoughts  that  were  running  in  Bernard’s mind  as  the  lecturer  begun  to  lecture.
