Dating : Library Dancer

“Guy, you dey go library?” Joshua’s friend Tobe asked him as they made their way out of the lecture hall.

“I gas go o. I have an assignment due today and the book I am looking for is at the library” Joshua said looking at his best friend.

“Okay o. I hope you have your library card”.

Joshua patted his pocket.

“Good before that bulldog woman harasses you. As for me, I am carrying myself to the field.”

“Field?”

“Yes na. I hope say you no forget. We have a match today by 6pm and practice by 3”

Joshua groaned “I almost forgot o”.

“Abeg guy, you no suppose forget that kain thing. We need you”.

“Okay, once I am done with the assignment, I will come over to the field. But it’s just 10am why are you going there?”

“I want to hang out with Bose” Tobe said winking.

Joshua smiled, shaking his head at his friend “Who is Bose again?”

“I will gist you later. I have to go” Tobe said patting his friend on the back with one hand and typing on his phone with the other.

“Okay o” Joshua said and they parted ways.

He was already close to the library and could not wait to be over and done with the work he had to do. He could have taken the easy way out and given his work to someone else to do for him for a small fee but he was a little nerd on the inside and would rather earn his grades himself but what he didn’t like was the fact that he had to use a book in the library for the assignment.

He entered the small school library with its dim lights and musty smell. Mrs Bode was typing on the small Hp laptop on her desk

“So this woman sabi use laptop” Joshua thought and smiled to himself as he made his way to the desk.

“Good morning ma”.

“ Library card” Mrs Bode said, her hand outstretched and her eyes on the laptop screen.

“Why is this woman such a witch?” Joshua thought.

“This card will soon expire you need to renew it” She said looking at his card.

“How much is it?” Joshua said. He could not help looking at the woman with disgust.

“N4000”.

“I’ll pay”.

“You better pay. If not, you are not coming inside my library”.

“Your library? You wish” he thought.

Mrs Bode handed him back his card and he made his way to the Mass communication shelf with his hand in his pocket, when he saw a sight that made him stop in his tracks.

A lady was moving like she was possessed at the library.

Joshua turned round to see if anybody saw what he was seeing but it seemed like he was the only one seeing this.

Or was he hallucinating?

He had to admit it was a fascinating sight. He leaned against the nearest shelf and folded his arms as he watched this lady with closed eyes move her arms and legs in funny ways. She had a nice figure and if she opened her eyes he was sure she would be a pretty girl.

“What the heck is she doing now?” Joshua couldn’t help himself bust out laughing.
