DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 20

Me: (Curious) Until what?

.
Anita: I was still busy doing my registration, medicals, getting used to my environment, securing accommodation and the likes when one of our lecturers announced a pop test the following day, Wedensday, GES 101. I didn’t hear about it until almost 11pm on Tuesday. So, I didn’t prepare fully. I did poorly I in the test and I knew it. On Thursday, the names of most of us that did poorly in the test were announced in class by our course rep, with each student given different day and time to go meet with the lecturer.

Lecturer: I want you for myself. I wanna write my name in gold inside you. I want us to be together. You know, like lovers
