OLUBANZI

Welcome to your new home .
This place is beautiful . Better than the hostel I was living in the past 2 years.

" are you lost ? "

The fuck. I raise my head and look at him .

" do I look like I'm lost ? "

He looks at me without saying a word . I turn my back on him as I walk to the receptionist .

" good afternoon miss. "

She says with a huge smile .

" good afternoon Mah . My name is Olubanzi Ndaba. "

She taps the computer.

" Olubanzi Lily Ndaba? "

She ask without looking at me.

" yes ma'am. "

I look around. Even the reception is beautiful.

" Room 732. "

She says before placing the keys in front of me.

" thank you . "

I take the keys . I walk back to the parking lot . I take out my bags .
Damn they are so heavy . I should have allowed Wonga to come with me .
I don't even have friends here .

" can I help you . "

Not this guy again . He's starting to be a pain in ass .

" No , I'm good . "

I say without looking at him .

" those boxes look like they are heavy. "

He says getting closer . No I'm being tested here .

" I said I'm good . Leave me alone. "

I snap . No because he's annoying.

" I'm sorry. "

He raises his hands to surrender before he walks away .

I sigh . The boxes are heavy . I just didn't want him to help me .

I start with the suitcase . I pull it to the lift . I press 7 . The fear I have for the elevator. I feel like dying right now .
I open the room . Wow , this place is beautiful .

The kitchen , top notch. I check all the rooms .

4 bedrooms , 3 sharing bedrooms and 1 single .

First come , first serve. I can take the single but I stayed alone for years . It's not nice . I'll take the sharing .
God can I please get the nicest roommate ever .

New year , new me . I hope this would be the best year . I deserve better, I've been through a lot. I deserve soft life .
