Chapter 53
Mirabel just stood looking at her with arms folded, she wanted her friend to finish what she was saying before she would start talking .
“You know what, Steph, I am not mad at you, why will I be mad at you I totally understand you were very tired” she said reassuring her best friend that she was not mad at her, ” I am just sad that I did not get to hear the juicy details first , your roommate beat me to it” she said and began pretending like she was cheated.
“Awwn , Mirabel you have not stopped this yet, don’t worry you are my best friend for life, and you know I would always tell you anything, anytime regardless of who heard it first besides I did not tell her everything, you know nobody knows about him being a werewolf apart from you and Austine” she said
Both friends then hugged each other like they have not seen each other in ages, Mirabel had missed her best friend, school was boring without her as she had to go to events alone, programs and even classes.
” You know, I went for a party when I was there, it was a frat party” Stephanie told Mirabel.
Stephanie knew how nosy Mirabel could get when it comes to gist and details about her life so she left no details when she was telling her about Ohio, they sat and talked for almost an hour before other students of literature started coming in, they knew their class was about to begin so they ran for the front seat so they could get a better glimpse of there lecturer and a better view of everybody who was giving an opinion on the book to be reviewed.
Stephanie wondered what literary work they would be reviewing that day. She anticipated it like a person who was waiting for the lottery to be won.
“Calm down sis, you would soon know what we will be reviewing ” Mirabel teased.
In a few minutes, the lecturer came in and started the class
” Good morning students, I am glad to see you all, hope you all had a good night rest”
“Good morning sir” they all said in unison.
” So the book we would all be reviewing today is actually an African literary work, he is one of the most famous African writers to have faced the earth today, children of literature. I hope you all have read ” Anthills of Savannah” by the African Literary Giant, Chinua Achebe.
A large number of students shouted in unison as a good number of there had read the book and were familiar with it, as for Stephanie that was not the book she was expecting she had thought that they would be given a shakespearean work to review but the lecturer was an African American so it was only natural of him to have given an African book to review. She had not read the book they were given so she was just going to sit in class and listen to the opinion of others on the book and maybe read it later on with her favorite people.
The class that day was filled with a lot of banters and arguments from different parties who were given a platform to air their opinions on the book. At a point the whole argument turned into a fight between some certain students but for the timely intervention of their lecturer it would have escalated into something more.
The class ended shortly after and both girls decided to go and have some lunch at the nearest restaurant.
“Are you hungry, because if you are not , I am hungry” Mirabel asked
“Of course I am, the last time I ate was yesterday night and it was even Audrey who ordered food for me” Stephanie replied
“And by the way bills are on you, you left me for a long time without anybody by my side” Mirabel joked as they walked to the restaurant to get some food. She had wanted to do that for a long time, guittripping Stephanie into buying food for her, she had the perfect opportunity to do that and it was now.
They had barely gotten to the restaurant when Stephanie’s phone buzzed up it was a message from Audrey
“Dinner at 8 today, be prepared I will be coming to pick you” the message said.
“Ouuuuuuu someone is going to have the time of her life” Mirabel teased her friend .
Stephanie just blushed at her friend’s teasing and the message she just got from Audrey .
After she had seen the message she sent a message acknowledging receipt of the message, she had no idea what she was going to wear for the dinner but she would find a way. She told Mirabel, who had been teasing from the time she saw the message about it and she said they would go shopping .
” Babe, I have a date this night and I have no idea what I am supposed to wear” she said
“You have a closet of clothes and you are telling me you have nothing to wear, to be honest I don’t understand why women are like this” Mirabel said
” But I don’t have clothes to wear seriously, you know if I have I would surely wear it besides I have to look sexy tonight, Audrey and I have never really gone on dates before, so this is very special for me” Stephanie said blushing at her best friend who had noticed it.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Alright, alright you know what let us get something to eat so if we are shopping at least we won’t starve, but we are not going to the store just yet we need to get to your dorm you would find something to wear one way or the other” Mirabel reassured her.
They went according to plan and got something to eat. After they had eaten, they headed straight for Stephanie’s dorm. They began searching for gowns she could wear for the dinner but all to no avail.
” So you mean out of this all these clothes, we can not find a decent dinner gown for you to wear” Mirabel mocked after they had scattered her whole wardrobe.
” I told you that I do not particularly have an outing dress by the way. We are both arranging this closet together because I warned you, ” she told Mirabel. Mirabel was the kind of person who knew how to scatter but she hated arranging afterwards.
” What, this pile of clothes, who would arrange it not me though why will I be the one to arrange this, they are not even my clothes” she said being defensive, she thought she could wiggle her way out of this one but she was the one that suggested that they come to look for clothes in Stephanie’s room so she was kinda the one that would have to arrange it.
” Mirabel, I don’t have what to wear, what can I do, should we just go to the target store nearby and get to what to wear, something not so expensive” Stephanie said and sat down on her bed dejectedly.
” Don’t worry sis, you are my best friend I got you, we will go to town and get you the finest of gowns we are not going to any target store, they sell the last of the last clothes in Target stores, so get dressed baby let us go” Mirabel said
