hae friends this is an excerpt of a book am working on..read and leave your comment . 30 minutes and the lecturer had not yet showed up, the class was experiencing a mixture of reactions and feelings. Some were happy others frustrated while others didnt know what to feel, but John sited at the center of the class, his usual place, was so deeply buried in his thoughts, his eyes fixed towards a lady sited two rows in front of Him. This was the third time he had seen her, the reason why she had caught his eye was obvious: her mode of dressing. which John would describe as evil. John was a young man who so much belived in God, his piety was well known to many especially those who conversed with him. He wouldnt speak a sentence without quoting a scripture. He was so much opposed to most of the modern culture taken up by his peers. now why wear a skirt the size of a handkerchief, this city girls will one day walk naked and I pray Jesus come back before that, he thought to himself his eyes still looking towards her direction. Rose was the type of a girl whose carefree attitude was so conspicuous to go unnoticed. From her excessive makeup to her skimpy dressing not forgetting how she always came late for her classes, that is if she did come. Most of her classes she had missed so far as John had observed. He had come to know her name on a Tuesday morning. That day she had arrived extremely late and the lecturer had confronted her. Hey! the lecture had exclaimed what do you think this is! A market place ! Other students came late too but the way she had entered the class seemed to have irritated Mr kayonde the SZL 200 lecturer. Especially her high heeled shoes that had disrupted the whole class. what is your name young girl? Rose she mumbled. Rose, are you sure you are one of my students?. sit down and see me after this. All this while John was keenly looking at her, may be more than anyone else in the class. Excuse me comrades!.... Johns thoughts were suddenly disrupted by Omondis, the class rep, call for attention.....the class wont be there today, but the lecture has told me to inform you that CAT 1 is scheduled for next week during our single lesson. Enjoy your we.... his last words were lost in the air as the students were already getting excited. Johns eyes were all over searching for Rose who seemed to have disappeared in the crowd that was forming outside the OML lecture halls. why am I so concerned about her? he had asked himself that question a thousand times. From that day their eyes met as he was doing his usual thinking of her, he hadnt stopped thinking about her, maybe its because beyond the carefree attitude, he had observed pain, loneliness, shame and guilt inside her. John gave up searching for her, he glanced at his watch and hurriedly went down the stairs. He had just remembered the bible study was to be held in Susans room of which he had forgotten to inform her. It was his duty as the bible study pastor to chose the venue and inform the host in advance.He thought she might be in her room and had to hurry before she went for her lunchtime prayers. It had rained in the morning and so he chose to avoid the KM route. though it is the shorter route to use when one is going to Nyayo 1 hostels, during rainy seasons people avoid it as it becomes muddy and slippery.
