Chapter 3
“Sorry... Sorry” She pursues me and clenches my hands from behind. I stop. I immediately whirl to face her, with a huge laugh on my face. “You are crazy” She states, barely laughs
We move till we arrive in my room.
"Welcome to my palace” I proclaim as I open the door. “Empty” She exclaims. She is right, I have very few dresses and shoes. Books. Nothing else. No laptop etc... “Nice thou. My only issue is space” She insists. “I see it” I nod.
She doesn't look very comfortable but I don't care. I'm doing my best. Oh, my Goddess, I'm lying… how I wish I did not care because I do, so I try to make her more comfortable… We later lay in bed and discuss laughs and have so funny.
After a long day, she goes back home late at night…

Two weeks later, Natasha and I had become closer and we spent more time together. Though in class, we scarcely converse with each other. She’s always busy chatting with others as if she’s avoiding me. Anyway, she’s the one who came to me in the first place. So, I also keep my distance because I don't want to overstep my boundaries and above all get embarrassed and disappointed.
Nonetheless, I notice that her intimate and inseparable friends are apparently in the same university as us but offering different courses from hers. And, this makes Natasha boycott her class a lot. Since she has to follow them, — walking according to their schedules, whether she has a class or not and for me it's so disheartening. Anyway, it's none of my business.
After all, they say 'majority wins'.
Yet, after all, that, she stops by my room anytime she feels bored and lonely and she constantly brings food along. It's nice of her and it makes me economise. I guess she is a foodie lover or she doesn't like eating alone. Nonetheless, she also eats at restaurants especially the 'New land' restaurant by the University.
One thing I have noticed about her is that she hates solitude thus making her very vulnerable. Anyway, I don't have any relatives here, so I consider her my friend. My only friend for that matter. I love to have her around. We concurrently always have a nice time. Even though I don't know what I am to her.

It's 8 pm and I hear knocks on my door. I scramble to open it, hoping to see Natasha. So I open the door and indeed, its Natasha.
“What are you doing, — Why aren't you at the party? All, the students are invited or weren't you aware of it?” She yells. “Not interested” I sluggishly move back into my bed.
Then she locks the door behind her. “I knew you will say that. Anyway, I don't want to go either” She follows me and falls in bed. “We can watch some movies on my phone. If you like” She suggests
“Wow, good idea” I'm all passionate I love watching movies, yet I gat no app for that nor data to waste, — all that is so expensive. “Oh, no popcorn to make it hotter” She cries out. “I can quickly get us some, outside. Give me a few minutes” I want to go out and pay the bill this time but she stops me once more saying “It's okay, don't kill the fun when I can order some pizza and popcorn online” She recklessly states while ordering online
Moved by her simplicity, I stared at her, with a broad glance. She feels my gaze on her, yet she acts like she isn't seeing anything. I'm just speechless.
“Done” She exclaims, she is done riding. I'm eventually standing up still gazing at her. “Now, put your 'fat ass' on this bed, and let's start... watching... movies” She hits the bed while taking a funny tone.
I hastily take a seat. Very excited to watch some movies. “Which movie are we watching,” I ask. “The Elite!” She replies. “Wow, it sounds promising” I exclaim. “I have never really watched it, but my friends told me that it's a nice movie and I trust them” She explains
“Okay,” I just nod eagerly. “I can't wait for you to meet my friends, they are so cool,” She tells me. “Nice!” I nod. I can't wait to meet her friends. She always talks about them with much enthusiasm. I hope that they are as nice as she is.
Though sometimes I feel jealous about how she talks of them with so much confidence. I will love someone to have this kind of esteem for me.
A few minutes later, the pizza and the popcorn is been delivered to my doorstep. I love their pizza's accuracy, I love how things are easy in this part of the world. We eat, watch movies cry, scream, and laugh. The series is so much nice. It's a long series. Anyway, we watched part of it.
We finally end up falling asleep, around midnight.
~~
The next morning, At 7 am, Natasha is already up while I'm still in bed. She takes a bath. "Sheila, no food for the lazy” She shouts in my ears. The sound whacks my tympanum, like a bomb commotion.
I shudder out of bed, like an ignoramus.
Then I quickly get stability. “Heavenly Gosh, what was that Natasha”
I frown yelling at her. She seems not to mind my words. “You told me you needed to find a job, so we are going to get you a job. Stop sleeping and blabbing, it won't pay your bills” She speaks.
She smells Good. “Have you taken a bath? Or do you just spray perfume” I gently laugh at my questions? She is still plopping the lipstick on her lips. "Yeah... Oh, don't use that towel, I have used it already" She points at my only white towel.
“Natasha, that was my only clean towel left” I cry. “Yeah, I noticed it. And that is very bad, you need to clean your stuff” She exclaims. And she bit her lips together to overhaul the lipstick on her lips. She doesn't give a damn about what I say.
"Oouurrr!” I furiously plug my head into the pillow. “Fix yourself up and meet me at the restaurant. New land! Don't waste my time” With that, she leaves. Walking straight up like a real affluent lady. I sluggishly pluck myself into the bathroom.
I take a bath, after which I have a hard time wiping my body. I'm forced to take one of my clean cloth to wipe my body which increases my laundry. After that, I rub her oil and I get ready to go meet Natasha at the restaurant as she said…
I'm so excited to spend some time outside with her. Truth be told, I have when she ignores me yet it's still painful to admit it.
