Chapter 2

Yes, who are you? And how dare you bang into our room without knocking?" The girl that was smoking asked Jessica in a pretentious tone.

" Is this not the poor girl Ray was talking about at the billboard room?" The other girl asked before taking from her glass.

" I should be asking you guys that question, this is my allocated room and I don't think I have a business with you guys" Jessica replied the first girl before turning to the other girl on the floor and saying, "For point of correction, I am not a poor girl, okay!"

" Oh, I can see you are not poor, you are just a daughter of Elon Musk" Bethel, the girl drinking tequila pronounced in jest.

Ann, the girl smoking at the top bunk jumped down to the floor and walked to Jessica's front. Ann inhaled the cigarette in her hand and puffed it to Jessica's face. Jessica coughed dizzily and covered her nose.

" She is a newbie!" Bethel pronounced and laughed

" What do you want a poor girl like her to know, I doubt if she knows what this is!" Ann replied and pushed Jessica.

" Leave the innocent girl alone, Ann, can't you see she is mum's apron?" Bethel pronounced playfully and stood up from the tiled floor dizzily.

She pulled Ann away from Jessica and motioned Jessica to a bunk. " Hey, poor girl, oh sorry, rich girl. That's your bunk and the top bunk is yours" Bethel told Jessica.

" No, I am the one at the top bed and she is the one at the second bunk so that I will be able to throw dirty from up to her face" Ann pronounced audibly and puffed a larger area of smoke.

"Fine, then you stay at the down bunk. My name is Bethel and she is Ann, can we know yours too? Bethel offered her hand and asked.

Jessica found Bethel to be friendly despite her rude words to her a few minutes ago. She stretched forth her hand and took her hand before she mumbled, "My name is Jessica Anderson"

" Wow! It's a nice name. Hmmm... Jessica, it's a nice name" Bethel put her index finger in her mouth and interviewed the name before Ann cut in

" At least she would have a good thing attached to her!" Ann said, causing Jessica to laugh out loud.

Ray, Nasani, and Eric trooped into the room with bottles of alcohol in their hands.

" Hey, baby girl it's almost time," Ray said as Eric went to kiss Bethel and Nasani went to kiss Ann.

Jessica quickly buried her face in the floor as she noticed that those were the boys that were mocking her hours ago at the billboard room. She taught they didn't see her but Ray was sharp enough to notice her by her oversized skirt.

" Hey, I have seen this skirt today," Ray said and turned Jessica around to him.

" Oh, poor pretty girl, it's you again, I never knew you would be allocated to this room" Ray added with a silent chuckle, then slowly it turned into a roar of laughter.

Nasani turned to Ann and said, "Babe, If this dirty thing will be leaving in this room with you guys then I promise you that I won't come here again"

Ann laughed alongside others in the room over Nasani's statement for what seemed like hours but were just minutes before Eric bumped in.

" Common guys, let's go. It's almost time for the fresher's party, this girl is irritating me" Eric said.

Ann and Bethel wore their revealing clothes as they prepare for the party. Meanwhile, Jessica moved closer to Bethel and asked in a low tone " What's the fresher's party?"

" Oh, it's a program organized by the school for new students like us, it's going to be an avenue where the chancellor of the school will tell us about the school" Bethel pronounced audibly.

" She wants to go to a party? You don't even have a dress for a party, asshole" Ray said immediately bethel was done with her statement.

" Come on, let her change her dress and follow us! She's just a girl that needs us to level up" Bethel pleaded.

" No, no, and no!" Others antagonized.

" We aren't stopping her not to come for the party but she is not following us," Eric said.

" Perfectly said, bethel!" Nasani said before Bethel could say more words.

They drove out of the place to the fresher's party leaving Jessica alone in the room.

Jessica undressed, took a quick shower, and changed her dress to another one that was barely the same as the one she off. She chose to attend the party and see what the party as a whole was all about. She believed that school is a place to learn new things apart from the academic aspect. Moreover, she would like to know the chancellor of the school and his welcoming speech to the fresher.

She took her last cash and went out of the room to the party which took her thirty minutes to arrive by foot.

Jessica got to the party and everything that was happening there was so strange to her. She managed to move a seat where no one could seat close to her. She was trying to prevent extra disgrace and bullying from her classmates as she looked behind her to see the group of popular students all huddled around, talking and laughing among themselves while passing comments. She could probably say that they were referring to her because their gazes were all fixed on her. Their fingers too were pointing at her. Jessica had become popular since she was embarrassed in the billboard room hours ago.

The chancellor of the university arrived after some minutes with some staff behind him. He introduced himself and gave words of exhortation to the students. The chancellor parted the Party house and opened room for the party. Some of the staff stood behind and joined the students as they were ready to party till dawn.
