Hello friends, it's funny how I never saw my self coming in the picture till I read through .. After the nysc camp we all went home for the Christmas holidays .
After some days While I was having a chat with a very good and caring friend while in camp her name is Cynthia . I asked her about her experience in camp and she said she already wrote a piece of that but she refused sharing it with me not until now while reading I felt loved so I decided to share with you my friends
Here's what she wrote below
I have been posted to bauchi after waiting for so long........
Fast forward to wailo camp wit high hopes of not falling in love,staying on my own creating a wall of brick and feeling so confident with so much Adrenaline
After all the registration things started going as planned met a new friend named peace not knowing she was not what she presented but without thinking I was already in love with her personality (as friendly as they come).
Wake up,wake up, wake up (the sound of the beagle )what is this I shouted and they heard from a distance "I'm too small for you " , I will pour you waterooohhh, tears started running down my eyes then I realized....I have not had my bath , I have not even changed my undies aahhhh!!!4 not me was not happy but I had no choice
To the parade ground shouted one of the soldiers,I was afraid for my life because the cold was too much to bear, sluggishly I walked, was afraid of being punished then I heard "on the floor" ah! I'm dead with my new white short I took my time to wash and then I heard you don't have to look at your short after all we gave them to you "short that I brought from home" then came some soldiers cracking jokes trying to make us laugh but my mind was not there cause the weather was not friendly all I wanted was to just go inside wrap myself and sleep, but no, they will not let us " to the lecture hall they shouted another stage of torture", God even The hand gloves could not protect the cold, I was worried and afraid for my dear life, could not eat their meals ,I was ready to starve if that's what it takes and then I saw watermelon and my joy was complete , determined to live on those .
Guys with lip gloss all over, this particular one caught my attention, Victor with a bulging mouth, what a funny character
I thought to myself, time for swearing inn, me with my oversized shoe ,small cap,big and small trouser, walking like an overfeed child with a confused look" run, run, run ” they said,"if I get to the parade ground before you, you are wrong" got there panting like a cow, so tired and out of place after so much talk we were allowed to go,bending my head and thinking of the next step to take, I heard my name Cynthia out of space I turned around, it was that same guy with the bulging lips, how did u get to know my name , the first question that popped into my head and I asked, I am in your platoon he said , and so? are you the camp director? in my head,I am victor he said, Victor hmmm!
see you around, left to my room without thinking and started pulling everything that made me uncomfortable, was hungry and at the same time afraid to eat, what will I put in my stomach I thought, go and eat noodles I was told, oooohhhhh!! what will noodles do, I need something with pepper in it, then I heard my name Cynthia, it was peace with her normal smiling face, please go and eat before you get ulcer, so I went to the noodles joint and ordered for toasted bread, guess what? Roasted bread was what I got, and then I started missing home and I felt like crying then I remembered I was a big girl and crying was not an option, all I needed was a sound sleep and then Victor was in my head again....
Wow! and I told her to complete it she said that's her secret ..
Thanks for reading..
