The tears behind my smile-episode 2

I’ve  been inquisitive since I was a little girl, I still am so I guess that’s what made me want to do things that were wrong by all moral standards.

I got admission into University of Lagos to study physiotherapy through their diploma programme. As anyone would expect, my class was full of different species of people. There were the ‘rich kids’ who had the greater percentage as diploma fees were pretty high; there were the ‘greenstick ones’ these ones were fresh out of secondary school; there were the ‘staylites’ who were doing diploma

for the second or third time; there were the ‘godfathers’ and ‘wildgirls’ and ‘freaks’, they did all the wrong things, they partied, they smoked, got drunk, slept around, broke rules and of course failed exams; then there was ME.

Being who I am, I wasn’t at all surprised (you shouldn’t be too) when the group that fascinated me most were the godfathers. I knew they did all the morally wrong things, I knew I shouldn’t do any of those things, what I didn’t know was WHY I couldn’t or shouldn’t do them and there was only one way to find out…       

I picked Uche to help me find out, of course he didn’t know he was ‘being used’, he thought he was a ‘bag guy’ that was going to spoil a ‘good girl’. I didn’t have much to lose, just my reputation. I had lost my virginity at 16 and sex wasn’t such a big deal to me, I also knew that was all Uche wanted.

My first experience with alcohol was at a bar that I went to with Uche and his friends, it was one of those nice looking, uptown bars. I ordered Gulder(you might be thinking I’m crazy for ordering Gulder on my first date with alcohol but I had tasted Smirnoff ice and I don’t classify it as alcohol). I finished 3 bottles, not because I was greedy or anything but because I didn’t feel the way I thought people were supposed to feel when they got drunk, the only thing that felt different was the frequency with which I was urinating, I peed at least 5times before I finished the 3bottles but whenit was time to go, I stood up myself, called a motorbike myself, went to my room to change when I got to school and went to class to read.

I can proudly tell you that till date I’ve still not gotten drunk on alcohol, not even after trying vodka ,Hennessey, baileys, champagne etc. I even smoked cigarettes but I didn’t get any form of satisfaction or elation or anything like that, I felt it was a waste of time and money, I realized after a week that the only thing I ended up with after smoking cigarette was a tobacco smelling breath which I didn’t think was anything to be happy about, I already had enough of that from kissing Uche!

It was time to move to a higher level of discovery, I had established that I knew my alcoholic limit and being a little tipsy wasn’t so bad, in fact it was a nice feeling. Uche promised to take me to the ‘hood’ that weekend, I was going to smoke weed In grandstyle and not just any kind of weed, ‘first class weed’….to be continued next week…
