***next day

Maria sat inside her room, she is lying on a small bed in the girls building in her university. the room is narrow and contains two small bed, placed at a corner of the room adjacent to each other, the room is decorated with wallpapers, a shelf containing many books and a calendar on the wall. she was in deep thought when her friend Juli entered.

juli : (perplexed) maria what is happening? why are you alone in the room? and by the way, where is Tina?

maria : (no response)

juli : Maria, can't you talk to me anymore? look, your final exam is just next week and here you are, thinking

of....... i don't know what***

maria tried to speak but burst into laughter juli was astonished at her sudden change of mood and said

juli : what's amusing you? okey! you're making fun of me because I'm supposed to be reading now but walking around, right

after seeing that juli was annoyed she cuts her laughter sharply

maria : No! why should I do that? I was just thinking of someone very special, before you entered but from the way you talk, it sound like you thought i had a problem

after hearing Maria's explanation juli was more relaxed

juli : so who is it you were thinking about?

Maria : well juli, it about this guy i met at a friend's party yesterday?

juli : and what is now special about someone you met just yesterday.

maria : juli, you won't understand.

juli : understand what? when did you turn to become someone who understand what i can't understand?

maria : it's not that way.

juli : then how?

juli was so upset with what maria has and felt like slapping her but she kept calm and held back her anger and tried to listen to what maria had to say.

maria : you see, that guy was just too much.

juli : was that why you were thinking?

Maria : this guy was just to much. he is an eloquent speaker, infact you need to know the quality of his intelligence.

Juli : to hell with intelligence! hope you're not trying to tell me that because he has a high level IQ; that was why you fell in love with him.

Maria : NO!!!... i..... **he......

Juli : then what happened?

Maria : well... from the way he was speaking, he dominated and ruled my heart**.

Juli : ****what a mess!!

Maria : it is not juli, i loved him right from when i entered into the party ground and saw him.

**Juli : but wait, hope you didn't call him yourself after discovering you love him

Maria : Ah! Ah! why should i do such a thing? we were just speaking to each other telepathically before he stood up and approached me.

Juli : but you started it.

Maria : I didn't, he did.

Juli : well, it's your life. so, where does he stay?

Maria : where he stays?

Juli : yeah, or I'm i not supposed to know?

Maria : why not... he... e...he stays on this campus.

Juli : you mean he's a student of this school

Maria : em...yes

Juli : which department is he then?

Maria : medicine.

Juli : wow!! that a nice catch.

Maria : thank you very mush, can you see now?

Juli : I can see but that not enough reason why you should abandon you books and start thinking about him. for God's sake, you final exam starts next week.

Maria : look, with mike in my life, i don't care about failing the exam.

Juli : Maria! well a word is enough for the wise.

Maria : Julianna, stop being too fastidious.

Juli : fastidious? but I'm not

Maria : you are! what's the meaning of what you just said******?

Juli : i mean if he turns you to the gutter at last, at least you Will know that you've been warned.

Maria : oh! is that your wish?

Juli : it is not a wish but an advice.

Maria : what kind of advice is that?

maria and Juli were in the middle of shouting at each other when Tina came in and interrupted. she was surprised hearing the girls barking at each other

because Maria was known to be a well behaved girl, who knows how to control her temper and will never shout at others with out a good reason. but seeing her now was a big shock to her. she stood there wondering what could have made a silent cat, behave like a hungry lion.
