thief was on the Left of the Savior” or how those on the right of the Savior will supposedly be allowed into Heaven at judgment and you ask yourself if really it is your lucky day. So while you tell yourself that you have to come off smarter, stronger, more attractive, so you watch him closely and tell yourself to say“ I like your socks” but then you think not to, asking yourself if you would come off as shallow or too jumpy, then she says“ I really like your socks, very unique!” He smiles and replies“ Thank you”. And like you are losing out on this conversation you tell yourself to come up with something better, should I say“ I don ' t see boys in school wear this”, but then you know it is a lie, you have seen Femi, Ibrahim and Kelechi on something similar. Her loud squirrel like voice disturbs your thinking with“ I don ' t see boys in school wear this, this is a first” He looks at her and then says“ Actually we are a lot, I ordered same with a few of my friends” And without thinking lest Miss. Rival steal your line, she must be some kind of dark mind reader; you say“ Happy Socks right?”“ What is that?” she says laughing out loud,“ Of course the socks are cool but using happy, geez girl!” He smiles at her and says“ Actually she is right, ordered them off Happy Socks, they ' ve got some real cool stuff.” You start to do a summersault in your head but Mr. Morbid man with a pot belly comes in and stops your happy moment, you wish you had more minutes to say some more stuff, you force yourself to listen and take notes in class, after all you must come off as a Smart girl, strong and attractive. It is hard to concentrate in class, you keep looking at his book, while he takes notes, he seems to be understanding the class and just as Mr. Morbid man with the pot belly is done, you turn to ask him what exactly Amylodoisis is about, as you really do not understand. He smiles and starts to explain, you should remind yourself about the lesson you learnt from the movie“ Think Like a Man”, and you try to pay attention to what he says so you can contribute smart, rather than look at his gorgeous face. He explains very nicely and ask you questions to ensure you got it all. And while he is done he stands to leave with his friend who is really dark, you hope that by some miracle you could continue where you stopped, maybe after the next class, only for the Class rep, to come ruin your moments with the announcement that the next class had been cancelled, so you ask yourself if you should stay back and pretend to read. But the pressed feeling that just came on, telling you ' go to your hostel ' is a better option. You do not notice when he comes up beside you as you walk to the hostel,“ So how do you know about Happy Socks”, and then somehow you feel relax even though you are hoping your bladder do not feel the same and leak urine,“ Hello! Meet me the Internet Surfing addict!”, you say with a huge smile on your face. It is usually the first time they notice you, and then the next thing is a walk in school at night, you would think it is a whole new scenery, you want to do it over and over again, explore new areas and maybe one day go out on a daydate. He would smile at you in class and sometimes text you saying ' your blue blouse is pretty ' or ' the flowerpatterned blouse makes you look younger ' or how he admires your problem solving skills. Then he would get on one knee one night just at the corner of the long road and ask“ Would you be my girlfriend?” Laughing out loud, and covering your face repeatedly, trying to say“ yes” yet acting all calm, you would know that indeed you Have fallen in love with a Medical Student. And then that one night you would sit in bed and wonder how it all happened, first your patience, then your good taste that you would not settle for less, that you wanted the best of them all, the Medical student that was more. This morning, yet again you pick out a black skirt and three blouses and you are asking yourself how you ever wondered how those doctors married a doctor, and then it just might have been that they knew just How to Fall in Love with a Medical Student.
