CHAPTER ONE
Crystal couldn't believe it, she had barely two months left and she would officially be a graduate. It seemed too good to be true. Four years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Four years of assignments, endless quiz, exams preparation, presentation e.t.c was about to end.
She had her defence coming up in two weeks and felt prepared already. She just kept going through her project to gain extra confidence because to her, defence was really a huge deal.
Getting a low grade in your defence had the capacity to reduce your CGPA drastically and as such it was not to be taken lightly.
Crystal was a pretty sight to behold. She was chocolate in complexion with an average height. She had pointed nose with an oval face. She had a very great figure with curves and flesh in all the right places. She, had her own fair share of guys trailing after her though she never gave them a second glance.
She came from an average family who could meet only her necessary needs. In her family it was almost an unsaid policy that anything not terribly needed would not be bought but she couldn't fault her parents because she knew they were doing their best for her.
*****
Her family was a Christian one and they made sure that God was a part of her everyday life. Crystal had been taught about the place of God's will in her life right from time. She was told that the will of God came first in all areas of her life and before she makes any important decision, she should ask the lord for his will. And she had been doing that up till this point in her life. Her career choice as an English major was part of God's plan, her degree program in University of Nigeria, Nsukka was also in his plan and Crystal was very determined to continue putting God in the forefront of her life. Especially in the choice of a hubby because making a mistake in her choice would break her emotionally. The thought alone of ending up with the wrong person gave her goosebumps.
Kelly was her only best friend as she wasn't really a social person and she loved her fiercely. At first crystal was reluctant to be friends with Kelly due to her outgoing and bubbling nature but she came to love that part of her over the years.
Crystal is basically a book worm. She was in the library with her friend whom she dragged there to prepare for their upcoming defence.
Kelly yawned for the tenth time since they came there "Crys cant we just go home? Am sooo tired"
Crystal smiled, that was typical Kelly talking. She was ready for anything other than studying but she still managed to get good grades
"Kells please lets just study for thirty more minutes okay? I will get you ice cream on our way home" Crystal said giving her a pleading look
"okay okay fine, but its just because of that ice cream o" Kells replied half-smiling
"thanks love" Crystal smiled as they got back to studying.
